Thanks! Mine was actually last Sunday...Easter. First time ever. But apparently it will happen 3 more times into my early 80's if I live that long! I am now 47. ACK! Can't figure out how that happened. I still feel like a kid trying to figure out who I am going to be when I grow up!
Mine was April 6th!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks happy birthday to you too!!
Thank you!0 -
I love when people post threads that are funny/heated/what have you on this thread as this is the only thread I keep up with!
Me too but then when I jump and then when I come back here I have to find my place again which is annoying. I wish I knew how to post links. I am particularly impressed by Agent OJ just posting a hot link.0 -
a couple weeks ago I binged and all I ate that day was fruit gummies and an entire bad of hot cheetos... It was so good but I was so sick after!

He is quite talented in the posting department0 -
Lately when I am hungry and start thinking about dinner or smell something good my mouth starts to water. Like seriously salivate. It happened tonight when I stopped at Target to get some groceries. Some kid was eating pizza and I could smell it. My mouth was watering like crazy. I wanted to tackle this 8 year old for her slice of pizza. I refrained but just barely.
I know it's this sticking to 1200 calories thing but damn. Some days it gets downright dangerous.0 -
Someone should have warned me there'd be weeping angels. *BLINKS*DON'T BLINK! *Blinks* damn it's catching...
I can't pass an angel statue without thinking DON'T BLINK! I love Dr. Who and will someday catch up on all the episodes I have missed. I started watching during the time of the 4th Dr, so he will always be my favorite, although I can't say I've been unhappy with any of them.0 -
I've been eating like crap all day today. Had to go and fast and get my blood taken this morning an as soon as it was over I stopped and got food at the first place I could so I wouldnt keep feeling sick. But after that it just kept spiraling
I've felt sick all day and my husband has jut refused to help with the baby in any way and the only thing that made me feel better was to just eat. I totally ruined my own day and I plan on getting back on the wagon tomorrow.0 -

I can't believe I shared that.
Arditarose, I have done similar things and do love peanut butter. I know the real stuff is better for you but I try to limit it. Ugh. Love Peanut Butter
I did that around a month ago with Ben & Jerry's Peanut Buttah Cookie Core.
I was having a fatty day & had maybe a pint of Talenti gelato & then decided to eat two pints of Ben & Jerry's. I got through maybe a pint of it & then felt sick to my stomach. I then thought I would put it in the freezer to eat later, but I was so put off by overeating it that I put it in water & then to make sure I didn't eat anymore of it I put liquid soap on it.0 -

Friday the 17th is a holiday where I work, so the office is closed. I work in a CPA office and it's crunch time and here I am on MFP. Anyway, that's not even my confession. We get the Friday after tax season is over off work. Usually either my kids or my husband happen to have the day off too. This year - kids will be at school, hubby will be at work. Secretly I'm thrilled to have the whole day to myself. I can't tell you the last time I've had time to myself that didn't have to be used for errands or cleaning or laundry.
This is no secret for me! I purposely take days off that no one else had or has and I don't tell them ahead of time, either. I work hard for my days off, so they belong to ME! I volunteer to work extra during the Thanksgiving / Christmas holiday period so that others can take time off and then I take a 4-day weekend both in Jan. and Feb. every year. It's great!
Before she retired, my mil would take random days off and go to the movies or out to lunch. She called them "mental health days".
I did that regularly when I was teaching. MUCH NEEDED.

Confession: one of my roommates wigged out, made up lies about me, peaced out for 2 days, and moved out while I (and my other roommate) was at class. And I really don't even care that she's going off the deep end. There's less than a month left of school and she's pulling this ridiculous attention seeking stuff... I probably *should* care, but I've only got sarcastic apathy.
And I might be going over my calories tonight to celebrate... Haha whoops0 -

I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.
I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.
And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.
Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.
Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.
Sorry you feel that way IRL, here I think your posts are great!
Thank you. I'm at a crossroad: do I make some personal changes and see where it goes (could be better; could be worse)? Or do I just keep living my mediocre life? I know the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there, so I just don't want to make the wrong decision. But, no risks, no rewards, right?
I read a quote recently that reminded me of myself: "My decision-making skills resemble that of a squirrel crossing the street."
Interesting... my husband and I are at a crossroads like that. We live in a city where there are good jobs and lots of money but not a lot to do for people who are dinks (Double Income No Kids). We have considered moving across the country where we are closer to the Eastern US so we can explore all the different cities out that way but the jobs and $$ is just not as good. I also want to start trying for a baby soon and feel bad for my parents/his parents if were were to leave b/c they would be missing out. It's such a hard balance some times. Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.
I live on the East Coast (Boston area) right now. FWIW I would say if you want to move, the time to do it is before kids. If it wouldn't harm your career trajectory, you can discover a new place and enjoy your childless freedom. you could also afford a smaller place like and awesome loft etc. You can always move back to your parents when you have a baby, or not. Plus even if you did have a baby, they are pretty portable until they high kindergarten. However, the benefit of inlaws/parents when you have a little one cannot be understated.
But I like to move around and get a three year itch when I stay one place for too long.
Boston is on our list of places we would love to visit. My husband is 7'2" and my husband hates flying as he gets quite claustrophobic (even when getting the emergency exit rows or the bulk heads). We have flown to Vegas, San Fran, and New York. We were in NYC for Christmas and New Years 2012 and after that he was done with flying. So far, from where we live, we have driven to Seattle (13.5 hours), Spokane (10.5) hours, Minneapolis (19) hours and we've done this one twice as we are Vikings fans, and last but not least, Chicago (26 hours and we stopped in MN to catch a Vikings game). 28 hours was about our max we could do in one shot and Boston is about 42 hours w/o stopping. Hence, why we would love to move closer to east once we save some more $$$.
I wish I had kahonas to pick up and move every three years to check out new places. The stress of trying to find a new place to live and work would be a bit much for me, I think.
Wow 7'2... Are you tall?
5'6"

New confession. I know, I'm supposed to be all rah rah bacon about everything, because keto. I just saw a post on fb of bacon wrapped oreos.
I think I'm going to keep that picture around for any time I want to completely kill my appetite. (no offense if you're into that sorta thing)

I see it in the parking garage nearly every day and it makes me stabby.
On a related note, "Stork Parking" makes me stabby. So deeply stupid. Especially at hospitals where there are so many people who are actually disabled/ill who are more deserving of those close-in spots.
I've always thought that! It's healthy for a pregnant woman to walk. What about giving those parking spots to families with babies! I remember when I was a single mother of 2 babies under age 2, thinking they should have allowed me a reserved parking spot at the front of the lot.
You chose to have those children--it is your job to figure it out.
Giving people with children so many special privileges in an already overpopulated world is so incredibly irresponsible. It makes me very angry.
A privilege? I have twins. Being able to park closer = safety. Clearly you've never had two small kids try to run off in a parking lot.
Nobody's responsibility but yours. Here's a thought--leave the kids at home if they are that out of control.
Umm - no judgement? Keep it clean.0 -

Wow he's tall. I can imagine not wanting to fly in a plane at that height. I have lived in middle North America twice, Wisconsin and Regina, Saskatchewan and it was hard to drive anywhere to visit, because the drives would have to be so long. The East Coast is nice because Toronto, NY, all of New England, Montreal and south to DC are all driveable. I hope it works out for you!
Now that my kiddos are getting older we won't be moving as much. Since my husband and I have been together (10 years) we have lived in TX, South Korea, back to TX, Wisconsin, back to TX, 3 months in NY and now Boston. Reestablishing your life gets expensive though, so we are basically done. besides travel is > moving with four of us now.0 -

I convinced my friend to join the gym with me so I could have a spotter, but now I'm finding it really frustrating because she isn't really trying very hard and it's distracting.
Of course, now she is going to drop a gazillion kilos and I'll just be stuck sitting here at my CW (my body has decided that it doesn't matter what I do/don't do, it's not moving weight. *kitten*).0 -

(Child free meaning the movement of people who are childless by conviction/choice and refer to people who have children as "breeders", not meaning people who are childless in general)
I saw the vegan thread. I don't really the need to argue. I don't really care how other people eat, my MIL is vegan and not the biggest fan of her grandkids chowing down on meat but w/e. She is generally polite about it and we make vegan food for her when she comes.
Same things with childless/child free people. I just don't get the overt hostility and obnoxiousness to strangers over the internet. You be child free and enjoy, no need to be disrespectful.
Because those of us who don't/can't have children get treated like second-class citizens in so many ways, both big and small. It happens to me on this site and it happens to me in real life.
It pisses me off to see people who get to have children taking them for granted, not caring for them properly and expecting other people to watch out for their safety in public...even though parents get tons of positive attention just for being parents, whether they are actually doing their jobs well or not. It's disgusting.
Being pregnant or having small children is not a disability, it is a choice. If you can't figure out how to manage that, don't have children to begin with. Nobody deserves a parade or a designated parking spot. The whole thing with baby-on-board signs and decorating cars with stick families is disgustingly self-congratulatory.
The Baby on board sign USED to be to warn rescue teams that there is someone in the car unable to help themselves. I am sorry you seem bitter about people choosing to have children, and businesses choosing to cater to family.
I am so, SOO sorry for you and your state of mind. I hope you can get help.
Hey! Again with the no judgement - there's no need to be nasty.0 -

Didn't mean to come across as "nasty" because the tone was supposed to convey concern because being nasty about something is usually a sign of bitterness and deeper issues. But whatev's, it's been dropped for a while.0 -
Snuck a peak at someone's diary earlier and saw Quest bars, which made me crave them even though I've never had them (anyone else ever feel the same way about something?). Anyway... I started looking them up on Amazon and they're SO EXPENSIVE. Can anyone recommend these things? Are they good enough to justify their price? What flavor is the best? So curious.0

I enjoy Quest bars but buy them sparingly because of the price tag. I would just buy one and see how you feel, can't go wrong with the cookie dough flavor.

As I have confessed before, I am a Chicago Bears fan (American football for you non-USA people). My husband won a drawing where he got to go learn football coaching tips from the Boise State football coaches. Shea McClellin was there and my hubby didn't get his autograph. He is seriously my favorite player. I have TWO of his jerseys, cuz he changed his number after his first year. Confession: I am not pleased with my hubby right now, even though0

TALENTI GELATO?? My mom was obsessing over this when I last visited her, telling me about how amazing it is. It was on sale when we went to the store, so she bought some salted caramel kind. It really is amazingly delicious... can't find it in Montreal anywhere :P I guess I'll try to find a Quest bar, too. Cookie dough is one of my favorite flavors of anything, ever.spacequiztime wrote: »

S'mores Quest bar has been my latest favorite, but the Strawberry Cheesecake one is pretty good too!0
