These are the struggles I face every day.

When I went to buy my case this last time, at the same store I always buy them at, the cashier said something like "those are gonna kill ya." I laughed it off and said, "everybody is gonna die somehow. This is my vice." He seriously started to lecture me on how bad they are. All I could think was, "Well, I know what is gonna kill you. ME!"
I don't think cashiers should make any type of judgmental comment on anything anyone is buying. None of their business.
I could bore you with a terrible food purchasing story and my 2 month fight with distributing Monster drinks. just saying.
Tell me more...as I take a long, satisfying drink from my ice cold Monster Ultra Zero
BLARGH. 2 months ago one of the bars I buy food and alcohol for decided they want energy drink offerings. Our new coca-cola contract prohibits the way we can serve and market that we have red bull, making it totally not worth even having the product, and I know I know, we're like 10 years late on the energy drink and vodka craze.
Monster was distributed by Budweiser up until 2-3 weeks ago, so I've just been in nightmare limbo trying to get product from Coca-Cola now that they're the owner of distributing rights.
Because you know, my outlet managers can't just buy the monster everyone buys, they want super small bottles because they're more aesthetically similar to Red Bull. *eyeroll*
You're right. That was boring.

The irony (and the lump) were palpable.
Not judging, but totally laughing!
Yes, my team lead laughed at me too. Apparently, the helmets are not actually farking fastened inside the open fronted boxes they come in, so when someone (me for example) attempts to place them on a shelf above their head, said helmet falls out.
Did you know football helmets are surprisingly heavy?
Oh and it totally fell to the ground from a good twelve feet up after impacting my skull. I put it back in the box to sell.

Okay, I've been super busy today and while I think I've caught up for the weekend I didn't get to respond to a bunch of posts I would have like to! Anyway, how are the shoulder workouts going? You do realize that once we've mastered that we're going to add on, right? I'm thinking we need to start with planks: no equipment required and can be done while on the floor either before or after shoulders / arms. Thoughts?
I'm cool with anything except crunches. No crunches... even though they require no equipment and can be done on the floor.My confession today is that I chew the skin around my nails on my fingers, when I'm not chewing them I pick them. It looks gross and it hurts but I can't stop doing it. I'm nearly 33 and have been doing it since I was about 11. Every now and again I stop it but then I always start up again. Nasty habit!
I pick mine. Chewing is a last resort. I've been doing this since I was around 15 and I'm 51 now. My poor fingers are locked into this pick/heal/peel/pick cycle. It's worse in winter because my skin gets so dry but I don't ever stop completely, even in summer.0 -

That's awesome! My new weight loss plan is to eat all my food with chopsticks because half of it won't make it to my mouth! Lol!
Yeah totally- I thought I should test the weirdness waters with the popcorn confession, but I often eat with chopsticks for self pacing... only around people who know and accept my weirdness though
(or on my lonesome)
My other weapon of choice is the mighty teaspoon.
I never can fully enjoy food by knife and fork. I'll just be there thinking about how I miss my spoons and sticks
Ah, but there are no weirdness waters in this thread. Or it's all such a cascade of weirdness that one mere drop will never stand out.
I'm envious of your ability to use chopsticks. I've never been able to master the skill, as manual dexterity is not my strong suit.
Ah but the more incompetent you are with the sticks the longer your food lasts that's the beauty of it
Ah, but if that isn't a 'looking on the bright side' form of optimized perspective that is downright blindingly magnificent, then I don't know what is...
(I had to put on sunglasses, there was so much 'brightness' in that does-not-involve-defeat point of view (and involving a form of incompetence that is to be *desired*, no less...! ))
thanks
Unfortunately I'm getting rather good with the chopsticks, I need to find some more advance level ones to keep the challenge. Perhaps weighted ones are the way forward? Get some cheeky lifts in 0 -
My brother's girlfriend (who I consider a close friend) KNOWS I really like Norman Reedus (aka Daryl Dixon from the Walking Dead) but she went ahead and bought tickets for a convention he was going to be at with some other friends of hers without even mentioning it to me.

The worst thing was the way she told me. *excited babble* "Me and [name] and [name] are going to the convention and Norman Reedus is going to be there and we're going to meet him and get pictures with him!... Oh, you can come too if you want."
It's kind of funny, but also kind of b*tchy. 0 -

I'm bored with my exercise. And more bored with dieting. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier if I just accepted myself as is and not as a better version because I don't actually have so much body fat that I'm overweight or that I'm unhealthy. Am I giving up?
Well, I have no 'sage' advice for you but if that is your wedding dress in your picture it is absolutely stunning and you look fantastic.0 -

My husband and I both do this. We try to get each other to stop, but we can't stop ourselves. XD Don't feel too bad, apparently about 10% of the population does it. It's called dermatophagia.

Yeah, I used to use chopsticks to slow myself down when I ate, but then I spent a year in China and ate with then all day every day and now I'm too good at using them for that to be effective anymore. I still love using them...maybe I'll switch to using my off hand.0 -

I chew my cuticles occasionally. I can't do it as much after my bite shifted from braces, but I certainly try.0 -
ladybuggnorris wrote: »I'm in the same boat. I'm having an extremely hard time with losing and breastfeeding. All you hear is stories about how women lose all their weight breastfeeding.. And here I am at 8 months postpartum and exclusivly BFing and I haven't shift weight (lost) since November. I binged over the holidays, and even then I didn't gain a single pound. I guess it's a good thing but I would love to stop maintaining weight and would love to start losing!
I exclusively breastfed my last daughter until she was a year old. I was 20 pounds heavier at the end of that, than I was when I gave birth to her. I am actually super grateful that I am finished having kids and my what I eat does not determine their well-being. No more excuses for me!
I exclusively breastfed both my boys for 3 years combined. I had a hell of a time losing weight, but it eventually came off. With each one stopping BF made the difference, after each birth I would get to a certain point and sit there for the first year or so. I am also glad I am done with the kiddos losing so hopefully this time the weight loss sticks.0 -
Ok, here it goes.... AGAIN no judgements. I didn't care what i looked like for a solid year or how much I ate. I could eat a whole large pizza w everything on it BY MYSELF. I could eat a whole box of cookies and 1/2 gal milk in one sitting. I use to go to all you can eat buffets and go up at least 3-6 times, I ate until I was stuffed like thankgiving stuffed for a year. I gained 65 lbs and every time i start feeling good, I go off my diet and gain again, and when I do... I gain twice as much as loss. Reason? I lost my son a year ago.... And struggling to care again. Really wanting to change this time.0

I do this too, to the point where it HURTS. I cannot stop. Pick, pick, pick. I managed to make myself stop for like 3 weeks. It was awesome, except.... I was a total *kitten*. Beyond mean.

Haven't decided if this one is going up in flames or not, but it might!
There it goes...
I am so glad that wasn't deleted after it was closed (do they do that) that was truly hysterical. That girl is delusional. And why do they keep coming back after they starting getting shot to h**l? BTW, I do swear like her... maybe I should stop. The 'swear like a sailor' kind of stopped me. Oh, well, I live in NJ, I clearly can't help myself (wink/wink).0 -

I used to pick my face and arms (acne) horribly. Pictures of me in my early teens are scary, I look like some kind of victim of ... something. Big nasty sores. Luckily (and shockingly) my face didn't scar. I had bad acne into my 30's (stress) and could never keep my hands off of it. I took Accutane, went to a psychologist (dermatologist told my mother it was psychological not physical), etc. It got better but was never good. Then I started the 'eat for life' or 'eat to live' diet (something like that), cut out cheese and ... acne disappeared. I have nearly perfect skin now. If only my teenage self had known... Growing up in Wisconsin didn't help. I LOVE cheese. Never eat it now. When I do, within days I break out.

My confession: I'M A FRAUD!!
I spend too much time here every day, doling out advice and encouragement, telling people about CICO, how to succeed, etc etc etc....
I have not lost any weight (that I have kept off) in SIX MONTHS.
That's right, I have "maintained" (read: lost weight, then stuffed my fat face) for half a year. It's a miracle I haven't actually gained.
I'm complacent, and I make excuses, and I'm basically just being totally crap at this weight loss thing. And you know what? I RESENT knowing how much I know about weight loss, because in the past, I'd have "mixed it up" byt going for a "kickstart" and doing a few weeks of shakes, or majorly low carb, or chowing down some "Fatblaster Max". And now I know that all there is for it is to stop being an *kitten* about it and get it done.
And I'm writing ALL this knowing I'm about to go on a 5 day holiday which I will AGAIN use as an excuse to say "I'll get back to it next week, this is special circumstances, I don't have much of a choice what I eat, so stuff it."
I need a damn good slapping.0 -

I had the opposite reaction when my mother was dying and after she passed away... I pretty much stopped eating. Grief counselling really helped me.0 -
Omg. I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be so hard, and I don't have any good advice, but I'm sure he loves you and want you to take care of yourself.

shadow cake and biryani and mango lassi
I had to look up all three of those items. The last two look like they are offered at Indian restaurants only. The cake, too? We only have one Indian restaurant here. I tried it once, but wasn't sure what to order (vegetarian and low carb). Any suggestions from the expert?
oh no, Shadow Cake was from the bakery on Friday night, biryani and mango lassi were from the indian restaurant.
I had friends who were Indian in High School and they always ate the most aromatic foods delicious smelling foods.
As an adult I just go into the restaurant ask the host what they're having that night for dinner and I'll usually go with that. The host always knows what's the best
For vegetarian dishes I'd start with some Vegetable Samosas and Cauliflower Pakoras entree would be Onion Naan and Vegetable biryani
low carb is out the window
Mmmmm that sounds so good. one of my fav Indian restaurant lunch buffets by my work closed and it is now a brick oven pizza place. I hadn't been there in over a year on the account my lunches are spent in the gym but I was still sad to see it go. Mmmmmmm pakora!!!

In that case me too, the slapping that is - fall off the wagon, get back on dive head first off into plates full of food! Put weight on, lose weight. It's hard to be consistent when you realise it has to a forever thing and you really just want to stuff your face. Well this is me anyway. 0
