    I walked the treadmill at lunch to add calories so I could eat my Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies cherry pie for dessert tonight. I do not regret this decision.

    Do you live near Jungle Jim's?!

    @LauraHasABabyJack considering I have no idea what that is, I'll have to say no.

    It's a big international grocer in the Cincinnati area that has one of those pie shops inside. I've managed to avoid stopping there so far but that's mostly because the sushi counter across the entryway typically has free samples out.

    Confession: I feel like I'm slowly losing control over my eating today, and the little food monster in my head/gut is going to come alive any time now.

    Susieq_1994, a rather iconic scene and 'image' from the first installment of the "Aliens" movie franchise just flashed into my mind, when reading the words "the little food monster in my head/gut is going to come alive any time" (!)... ;)

    lol ;) Whenever I feel like I want to eat the house, I say that I have a food monster inside me... He lies dormant for a while, but he always seems to show up again! (My husband DOES call it "the little alien" though... Maybe you're onto something!)

    I have a confession. I fancy the pants off of one of the personal trainers at my gym. He can deadlift and squat like a beast. I imagine his butt is as firm as a ripe peach.

    You are awesome. Thanks for making me smile in the morning

    If I go to someones house and their toilet paper hangs down the back against the wall, I change it so it cascades over the top instead...oh it feels good confessing!

    LOL! If they're one of those people who obsess over the direction their toilet paper is facing, I can just imagine their bewilderment! I'm imagining an angry woman/man coming out of the bathroom and yelling "Okay, which of you clowns turned the toilet paper over?!" and getting blank stares in return... The mystery of the turning toilet paper :D

    Haha! Never thought about this - thats a hilarious scenario! Imagine two of us out there in the world clashing ROFL!

    I know, right? I can just imagine it...

    I hang my toilet paper form the back even though I prefer it from the front. My kids pull less off this way.

    I have a phone interview tomorrow for a job, and I'm super nervous about it. I've been out of work for a long time, I really need a job (and this one sounds pretty good), and I haven't interviewed in about 5 years. I know, logically, that even if I totally blow it, I'm in no worse position than I am now...but my stomach is still jumping around like crazy. :/

    A very wise friend of mine made a lot of telephone calls in her working life (she's now retired) and always says that if you smile when you speak, it will come across in your voice. She worked in scheduling and had to call people in to cover shifts so she had a vested interest in sounding pleasant and cheerful.

    Y'all would hate my job. I work in retail. I talk to customers all the time. It has reaffirmed one if my favorite song lyrics: "Everybody knows, that the world is full of stupid people..."

    I work in retail too & totally get ya.

    I've lost around 150 pounds & sometimes get so aggravated at all of the comments about my weight loss. Just a few weeks ago I had someone ask about my arm fat.

    Ice cream is my weak spot and I could eat that in one sitting myself

    Join the club we eat ice cream on everyday that ends in Y.

    Which is your favorite?

    I would say mine has to be Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns.

    Then would have to say

    Jeni's Brown Almond Brittle & Savanna Buttermint
    Talenti's Egg Nog & Salted Caramel Peanut

    Great thread everyone! Now that I've caught up to the current posts I can finally post myself. Just getting to this point feels like I've smashed out a huge essay or similar. Like I've done the research required to participate or something.

    I confess I cannot stand listening to people eat. It takes me from calm to mad in 10 excruciating seconds.

    I confess that I have little interest in, nor affection for animals. Despite quite liking my cat, I glaze over with boredom when i see or hear anything animal related. I fake interest when it is unavoidable. Of course i believe they should all be fed and cared for properly and protected but beyond that, well it's just not very interesting to me.

    I confess now that I've admitted to that it may only be a matter of time before someone alludes to this being one of the common traits of a sociopath or psychopath. i guess it's a chance I'll have to take ☺

    Pretty sure that since you don't actually feel a desire to harm them, you are good!

    Also, apparently questioning whether you are a sociopath is a sign you aren't...

    This week I learned that the only thing worse than a bra that is too small is one that is too big. I swear that I am losing all of my weight from my chest.

    Urgh, bras are the bane of my existence at the moment. I REALLY need new ones but refuse to buy any until I've lost more weight as they're so bloody expensive. In the meantime, I've been wearing a tight vest top under my clothes to keep the bra in place. My boobs are so unruly at the moment.
    Yesterday I bought (a cheap) one that is too small. I am just happy that now nothing bounces when I run up stairs, I was getting tired of holding them.

    Accidental post. Blah.

    Confession: I saw my ex best friend the other day, and was happy she still has a bad haircut and no fashion sense.

    Haha, my mind completely blanked out the ex from ex best friend and I was thinking, wow that's cold.

    Ha! It's mean either way, but we had a bad falling out that involved her making some cruel accusations. Shrug.

    I don't think it is! Everyone has their interests and lack thereof--My eyes glaze over during most sports, for example, and some people are bored to death with babies while everyone else makes weird cooing sounds over them. I don't think it makes anyone a sociopath or anything like that, since it isn't like they wish harm on them or something... ;)

    I'm one of those unmaternal types who are "bored to death" with babies. Everybody could be prattling on about how "cute" and "adorable" some infant is, and I just don't get it... I might as well be looking at a big bowl of broccoli as far as "cuteness" goes. Like, huh??? (fortunately I didn't have any kids, lol)

    Puppies OTOH... now that's "cute"! <3

    I confess that if I had to choose just one flavor for my food for the rest of my life, it would be salt and vinegar.

    OMG, me too. Salt + vinegar = LOVE.

    I'm in.

    What an amazing and funny thread, thank you all for sharing!
    My confessions:

    1) I am battling a massive sugar addiction. When I get the shakes, I sometimes have to have a teaspoon of sugar out of desperation. So so ashamed of that one!

    2) I can also eat an entire tub of icecream/ pack of cookies/ 12 bags of crisps in one sitting. Haven't for a while though.

    3) I really resent having to work so damn hard to get the weight off. I tend to have really healthy meals but struggle with the horrific snacking. I get very arsey about the fact that I have got fat just because of snacking.

    4) Sometimes I will log my 8mile cycle to work if I am desperate for extra calories. Even though I have been cycling for 2 years and at no point does it remotely challenge me anymore.

    5) Many others listed on this thread :smiley:

    I hate calling people too. Love emails and texts. I grunt every time my kids get a birthday invite and there's no email to RSVP... Part of it is because of my accent and I know that some people have a hard time understanding me...
    Are you from Quebec, by any chance? My social anxiety got a lot worse when I moved here... I have a bad accent in French and worry about people not being able to understand me. It's so bad that I can read French ok, but I am just awful at speaking it. I also dread going to the store because I don't want to "disappoint" people by being an anglophone (I am aware of how dumb and untrue that is :astonished:).

    No I'm from France and I live in the US, so it's the same thing, just the other way around, lol. My English isn't bad, I just have an accent, obviously.

    My mum is from France but has now spent over half her life living in the UK. Her English is excellent, yet after being here for 35+ years she still gets people acting like they can't understand her (she is a teacher and speaks super clearly). Some people just pick up on the accent and look for an excuse to be awkward!

    And yet another rant... despite buying tights labelled as suitable for women up to 5'11" (and I am only 5'9"), I have once again spent the day in tights whose crotch sat about 2" below mine. Don't even get me started on the weight range... which begins about 30 lbs heavier than I am.

    Well, if nothing else, the damned tights shortened my stride so I probably ended up logging more steps on my lunch hour walk. Guess there's a bright side.

    Yep, 5'9" too and have the same problem. Lying liars.

    I have completely irrational anxiety about talking on the phone to anyone but my immediate family. As a result I don't answer the phone when I don't recognise the number, most of the time I don't answer it even when I do. I absolutely hate having to call to make appointments (doctors, hair etc). Even my manager at work has taken the hint and now texts/emails me instead to ask if I can cover for someone.
    I can't remember if it's always been like this, but it is soo annoying sometimes!

    Me, too! I hate talking on the phone.

    I talk on the phone all day at work, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna pick up the phone at any other time. Text me for Pete's sake. My husband is the polar opposite; he is on his phone alllll the time. He had the day off yesterday, and he called me (I counted) 12 times. For nothing, really. And that was just me! I'm sure he was calling 100 other places, too.

    Well I have no love for cats either, absolutely CRAZY about dogs.... so... does that make me half sociopathic/psychopathic :/

    Absolutely not! I LOVE dogs, all dogs they're the greatest! Cats...meh I really do not like.

    Ok so I went to the sugar thread after getting caught up on this. Sooo not judging but... Does anyone notice that it's like the same 3 or 4 people who blow up these threads? And get all nasty and judgmental? They seem to follow each other around.

    I hope they never find their way to this thread.

    I didn't read that thread, but I often see a group going thread to thread with their snarky 'expert' replies. There is one dude who is a total tool.

    Yep he is the worst. I am pretty sure I know who you mean. I am surprised they let him continue.

    I got super excited when I read this since I actually think I know who y'all are talking about too! I know that's an odd thing to be excited about but I feel "in the loop" :)

    When my son was in daycare, another mom brought in a sheet cake for the entire class when her son got out of pull ups. Beware the precedent you set ;)

    True, but still much better than taking pictures of it and posting it on Facebook! And, yes, I am at least 5 pages behind this morning.

    My husband and I have a 12 year old youkie named Mandy (our first child) who is on heart Medicin. The vet says do what you have to to get her to take them. (It seems to get harder and harder. Damn clever dog) So for the confession part 1: I fed her the Medicin in the last meatball so I wouldn't eat it. Now the poor thing has gas and looks miserable.
    She won't even play with my husband. Who teases Mandy about an invisible bone. She continues to nip at him with her tail a wagging. Confession 2: it's a little annoying after a while and I hope she actually nips him at some stage. Not that it would hurt because she had to have her bottom front teeth removed about a year ago.

    My former dog took thyroid medication for 10 years, twice a day. I used to buy cheap processed cheese slices, tear off a small piece, and squish/fold his pill inside that. He gobbled it up. Just to be fair, the other dog got a small piece of cheese too, without a pill.

    I never used the cheese slices for anything else and they lasted quite well for a few days.

    As difficult as it is to get dogs to take medicine, by manager's cat is diabetic. Try giving a 16 year old Maine Coon an insulin shot twice a day, every day. The cat knows what is coming every time they try to approach him, poor thing. And, he has to go to the vet once a month for blood tests. Good thing is at least he is stable and doing better now.

    My confession: Yesterday, on top of my regular meals, I ate:

    Two Quest bars (Lemon Cream Pie and Coconut Cashew)
    Heath bar
    Gardetto's
    P'Nuttles
    Easter chocolates - about 6
    Big bowl of ice cream - Sam's Choice Coffee and Doughnuts
    Cadbury mini eggs - about 20

    And I skipped out of going to the gym. I don't know what was up, but I ate until I was sick and then kept eating. It was disastrous. All I can do is pick myself up, dust myself off, and do better today. :(
