@tincanonastring total random question. If I have my memory right (and I may not) you work in/ manage a call center. You live in the NE and your name is an ancient (and childishly fun) form of communication. And you travel to Texas. Do you work for a telecommunications company (aka the phone company)?
Sorry I know this is neither beard nor peeps related.0 -
-I'm in the introvert / low friend count crowd. Used to bother me, but not so much anymore. My wife and I are very close. Other than that, I can count the people I consider close friends on one hand and still have a finger or two to spare (family included). Having lots of friends that you can't relate to or don't have much in common with just seems like a waste of effort to me.
-As close as I am to my wife, I look forward to the couple times a week where she's working and I'm not. I enjoy solitude (in small doses).
-In the past few months I've gotten down to a "normal" bmi for the first time since I was probably 8 years old. I still feel pretty much the same though. Its like my clothes got bigger but I didn't change.
-I don't have nearly as much muscle mass hiding under my fat as I had thought.
-I plan on switching gears from weight loss focus to muscle growth, which will involve eating more, which I'm apprehensive about. I plan on keeping a VERY close watch on things to make sure I'm doing it right so I don't end up back where I used to be.
-I used to make fun of cats but now we own two of them and I'm a "closet" cat person.

Lemon I've never tried.. now the Reese's Oreo's...are a bit too delicious!
Omg!! Lemon and Reese Oreos! I really need to move to the States.... but I'd probably gain all my weight back!

Cats are wonderful. You just have accept that they own you and it's all on their terms. I love dogs but am rarely home so can't have them. I adore my cats. And they adore me. I never understand people who don't like cats. (No judgement just lack of understanding).0 -
I am kinda cranky this a.m .. unexpected crappy weigh in, slept like crap, obnoxious pets in the morning... Today is supposed to be a rest day but my crappy weigh in makes me feel like I should work out... I dunno.
No slips this week with food so I am shocked by my weigh in. Yes, weight loss is not linear, some weeks will be up, some down, but damn, I feel like I worked soooo hard this week.
I totally relate to how a crappy weigh in can ruin your day. Your hard work will show, don't worry! Try to focus on how much stronger you are!0 -
I'm not really logging my calories today. Just putting in some "Quick Add" calories and eating sensibly. One day without measuring and weighing, etc. trying my hand at maintenance.
This sounds wonderfully liberating. Once I get the hang of portion control I plan to do this too. I'm obsessive now, but learning and changing habits is hard work no matter what you're trying to change.0 -
Confession: I am a butt girl. I love butts in all shapes and sizes. Girl butts, guy butts, doesn't matter. They're so cute, and each one is unique! I also love my own butt,but sadly I think that's where I've lost most of my weight! I'm cursing the weight loss gods for it right now. I'm hoping the rest of my body will catch up so that I don't end up with a small butt in comparison to the rest of me.0

Completely agree. I get along with people I work with but have nothing in common with anyone that would justify me wanting to do anything outside of work. I don't have kids yet (I am the only one on my team that doesn't) and I don't like dogs (cat person and again the only one). I tend to spend my lunches in the gym rather than the burger joint and food trucks down the street. There are several large people on my team who complain about their weight but do nothing about it or try to lose weight by eating salads everyday for a week and binge at McDonald's for four days. *sigh* I try to help them but I can't until they want to help themselves.
On a side note, I confess that I was really shy to post on this thread because everyone seems close. I wanted to read each post (which I have done) and even though I didn't post much I feel as I got to know a lot of you pretty well. You will see more of my posts on here.
I also confess I don't add MFP friends because I don't like getting "Likes" when I post my exercise or complete my food diary. The only two MFP friends I have are my mom and my husband.0 -
I fell off the wagon last night, and now I am filled with regrets. After a great week wherein I lost 3 pounds. I ate at Wendy's after shopping trip and got so stressed over shopping trip with husband, who acted out. I went home and ate on top of it all, 2 cups ice cream, a toasted cheese sandwich with pickle and a cup of milk. I went way over calorie intake. then I went right to sleep. Talk about binges! I got to stop these stress binges. I was way out of control. Well, today is a new day and a new start. I'm not giving up! Got to think about losing weight instead of overeating. I need to think about eating healthy, low calorie foods more. I understand now how easy it is to eat out of stress.0

I have a weakness for potato chips. I can't have them in the house but if I am going to throw them out and not eat them I have to dump the chips loose into the trash or I am tempted to pull the bag back out and eat them later, been there done that.0

A few weeks ago my husband wanted to order from Domino's pizza. I resisted the urge to get myself a pizza but thought boneless chicken wings would be better. I ordered the 8 piece in Honey Sriracha. Ate them all in one sitting, only to later consider what I had done. Turns out one boneless wing is 100 calories, and I had just eaten 8 lol. I shamelessly went to my gym and did enough cardio to only work off half of that amount. Later had a chuckle with my trainer lol...0

Same here.. Also I've seen some people post about their expectations for being their friend on here, and if I'm going to be deleted for not liking/commenting on your feed enough or because my diary is private then I'm just not gonna bother.0 -

You can select options so that none of those get posted ever. If you wanted to add more people of course.

Confession: I not only do not like cats, but I hate them. I am allergic to them, which doesn't help, but I know that is not their fault.
Our neighbors cats are always in my yard, my flower beds are full of *kitten* and one will not even grow anything in it anymore because the cats have pissed in it so much. Every spring, when the snow melts and I have to go clean up two five-gallon pails of cat poo, I silently plot their deaths.
The neighbors don't do anything about it, no matter how much we complain. My husband is the mayor and the only thing they can do about it is set up cat traps and charge a fee for them to get their cats back.
I effing HATE cats!0 -

No worries. No, I don't. Despite all of that being accurate (and are you stalking my posts?), it's all coincidental. I've always lived in NJ other than a brief stint in FL, my best bud moved to Austin about 11 years ago, and tincanonastring is actually a reference to an old album I like by a band called Far. I work in the employee benefits industry, specifically for a benefit enrollment company. Our counselors handle new-hire and annual enrollments for companies.0 -

Phew. It's not just me, lol.My confession: I live vicariously through the people in this forum, because I have no physical friends. It's like watching the group of cool kids in the playground back when I was at school.
I don't really have friends either. There's another mom I get along pretty well with but we only see each other on the rare days she picks up her kids... but I've been so disappointed by friendships in the past, I don't actually care. Well, except when people talk about going out with their friends and post all the pictures and it makes me feel very lonely. But I haven't had a close friend since my first marriage 15 years ago.
Until recently I had one friend who I actually hung out with in real life. A few weeks ago, I forced myself to reach out to an acquaintance who had a new baby and it went well, so now I have 2 friends. I am jealous of women who are close to their sisters - my sister is on drugs and won't talk to me. /sad
I feel that way about sisters sometimes too. I have a sister that lives far away so we literally only see each other for a day or less once every few years. We get along, but are not close.
My friends have dwindled down over the years, there are four that were toxic that have been cut out for years and I am much better for it.
I have one very close girlfriend since I was four years old, but she lives a few hours away and we are both so busy we only see each other a couple times a year. I have one close girlfriend that used to live here but now we get together once a year for a girls weekend. And I have a small handful where I live that I will get together with when possible, which is not often do to time.
My best girlfriend died two years ago this month, we were super close for 20 years. We did so much together that people often thought we were sisters. I still miss her terribly, I think about her every single day and often still cry. She was very sick for the last while she was alive, and I am glad she is not suffering anymore, but I still was not ready to say good-bye to her.
That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
Very sorry to hear this
Thank you both.0 -

That just sounds kinda gross.

I went out to a bar with my husband last night. My parents have the kids and we haven't been out in years. I put on my six inch hooker boots and tightest pants, had two O'Douls (I don't drink) and ate cheese fries on a whim. I haven't eaten anything on a whim that wasn't a full on binge in months. I felt so normal! I then of course logged it and was right at maintenance so I would say that's a win.0

They are really good. They had the vanilla cookies. The lime ones were good, too.
