Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

This morning was my first run outside since winter finally let up. It was glorious and helped me think through an issue I was dealing with. Today is refeed day and I have a list of things I will be eating, starting off with gourmet doughnuts (Maple Bacon or Salted Caramel... hmmm)0

I generally prefer to eat the actual (as in the same brand) cookies. With a nice cup of tea.0 -

Next time try paying more attention to the politics behind it, you'll have more fun. The baby shower isn't about the baby, so much as it's a competition between grandmothers to see who can outdo the other. Bonus if you have a competitive aunt-to-be or two in the mix. Who spent the most, who got the best reaction to their gift, who didn't show/left early/got there late. If the grandma's don't like each other, or one or both doesn't like the other one's kid, you can play passive-aggressive comment bingo. If there are step-grandma's involved, it may be even more entertaining, especially if the step-grandma is the more responsible or involved than the bio grandma.
Lol!
I never had a baby shower. I guess to be fair, we adopted our twins, and we had no match or anything and pretty much got a call saying 'congratulations, you have twins'. So my husband's coworkers gave us $100 and my brother in law gave us a couple clothes. I had no friends to throw a shower anyway, but still, I did feel a bit cheated from the experience (don't get me wrong, I actually don't really like the idea of baby showers and the silly games but it's the principle of the thing).
And while we were waiting for a match and I was starting to buy things when I found a good deal, the only comment we got was 'are you not getting ahead of yourselves?'. I mean yeah, we waited 2 years, but it was nice to have the stuff ready (even though it turned out it would have been easier to wait as I had a useless single stroller and had to buy another crib anyway). But the whole 'welcoming the baby' thing was pretty much robbed from us.
Cliff notes - I might be jealous of women who get a baby shower.
This is how I feel about not having had a wedding. I didn't have a beautiful wedding dress, no flower girl, ring bearer, bridesmaids, no groom in a tux, and saddest of all...NO CAKE!!! My husband was going to try and put together a renewal ceremony for our 15th (June 30th of this year) but I just don't think there's going to time. And now that we're going to be grandparents, I can't really justify spending that money on those things.
Edited to add: I just really want to eat cake and wear a pretty dress.
That's essentially why I agreed to planning a wedding.
And it's mostly for the cake...
I think I've been going to the wrong weddings. All the cakes have been terrible. They're dry and the frosting is made out of that horrible lard stuff that has the texture of grease paint. I've decided that I should go to weddings with some of you. You'll know when I show up on your doorstep!
This is why my wedding cake was made of cheese. 5 wheels of it stacked on top of each other. 0 -

I hate the gym this time of year. It's when all the princesses come in with a full face of make up, do 10mins casual walking on the treadmill, use the lightest weights on the machines (because they don't want to get too bulky) and criticise the fat-*kitten*' such as myself for lifting heavy. Today's comment "Don't you think she should do more cardio before she does that? The muscle will be too hidden under the layers of fat, which makes what she is doing pointless." In my head I'm thinking "Walking the speed of a 90year old pensioner so your face doesn't melt is a waste of your time so why don't you F*** OFF." Obviously I didn't say this, my gym is the only one in the area with a squat rack, not getting myself banned for them. They probably won't turn up ever again...
This made me laugh b/c it is so true. Though I don't find there is a specfic time of year for the "princesses to come in". I don't see the point of wearing make-up to the gym - there was a thread on that a while ago and the general consensus was each to their own. if I did, it was b/c it was coming from work but it all comes off when I hit the pool at the end of my work out anyway.
In my gym, most people have cancelled their memberships including myself as it is finally nice enough to go outside. I had my first game of tennis outside yesterday!!.
I have 2 confessions for this morning: 1) I have started reading this thread at work just so I can try to keep up with it. I really don't have time to read it at work as I am always super busy but I hate trying to catch up on a day's worth of posts in the evening.
2: Someone posted quite a while ago that she kept, subconsciously, touching her biceps b/c she could now feel them. I've started doing the same thing. I love the feeling of the hard muscle beneath the thinning layer of fat!
I also had an NSV this week when I realized I can wrap a regular towel around me w/o it being too short. I also realized that even though I have been at maintenance for the past four months despite wanting to lose 20 more pounds, my body continues to shrink while it adjusts to the weight loss. I have been very slow at the weight loss but the plus side is that I don't have the saggy skin problem. I realized I am at the same size I was when I finished university and got my desk job. The 20 more pounds will just take me to when I started university!! Here is a toast to getting to your goal slowly and steadily!

When my cat follows me around the kitchen meowing I sometimes imagine she is telling me about the burglar who comes every day and steals her poop. It is kind of like she is panicking and trying to warn me. Look, look! Don't you notice it is missing again?!
I just drew massive attention to myself at work laughing at this.0 -

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.
This is my kids. I hate it when they are home from school on a day off. I tell them only call me if it is an emergency or something really important where the answer absolutely cannot wait until I get home. My 7yo calls me, "Mom, can I have a cucumber?" "Alex, was this an emergency?" "Yes, because I am hungry!" ...this goes on 5-6 times during the day. Finally had to tell teenager to hide the phone from her.
I thought for a moment you were leaving your 7yo on her own for a day...until I read the rest. I have 2 girls age almost 14 (next month) and 8 and we are just starting to leave them together on their own for couple of hours at a time - older one stays on her own quite a lot (and has been for couple of years) and she's perfectly fine but I always worry about them having silly ideas when they are together... Not sure why as myself and my husband were both quite independent at their age, I remember walking to school on my own when I was 8. Does anyone else have that problem?
I read a story where child protective services was called b/c an 8 year old and her sibling were walking to school w/o supervision. Someone called the service b/c they felt the children were being neglected by their parents. We live in a society now of helicopter parents and this is what happens...

Do you have super duper make-up or something? All the women I see end up with mascara half-way down their face. But you are talking to the girl who only puts make-up on for special occasions lol. Even then I hate doing it.
I can't work out with make up on I have those Neutrogena face wipes I keep in my bag to take it off, otherwise when I wipe my sweat with my sweat towel my make up is all over it! I sweat like crazy!! Plus I find if I don't take off my make up before working out I end up breaking out really bad

I've been known to wear concealer, mascara and eyebrow pencil on race days because I know I'll have my photo taken at the finish and I want to take the edge off my sweaty red round face a bit. I know it's vain but I don't care. I never bother removing my makeup before any workout, save swimming, and although obviously it doesn't look great at the end, I don't think I look TOO much of a mess.
I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, but I do if I'm going out beyond regular errands or working out. I never wear it when I go to karate, but I put it on for belt tests so I feel extra fierce.0 -
Confession: I was freaking out this week because I was up 4 pounds. It wasn't TOM. I used this as an excuse to derail and eat ALL the things. (See my confession from yesterday.) Last night and this morning, I woke up 3 times to pee (I never usually have to pee in the night). And, wow, the scale is back down this morning to the original weight. Fricking water retention. Now I am pissed, because if I hadn't freaked out over the gain, I would probably be lower than I am.

Hey! The real you! Very nice pic, AOJ!0 -
The first time i tried to eat healthy was when i tried kale.........there was a bug in it so it ruined veggies for me. :
That's disgusting! It ruined all vegetables? There are pages and pages of kale related posts earlier in this thread.
When I was about 5, I was sitting on the porch with some family eating dinner, we were talking and laughing, I took a bite of potato salad not noticing that a fly had landed on it. I'm still traumatized!0 -

I seriously laughed at this! My cat is a talker too. He says "Mama" when he's hungry which is pretty much always even if he has a full bowl of food. Sometimes, I have to point repeatedly to his full bowl and say "Look, Owen, you already have food." He's just a moron, but I love him and will cry uncontrollably when he dies.

I've gotten to the point where I make myself expect an extra five pounds after eating "bad" so that I don't have that very same freak out. I also down 10+ cups of water each of the two following days so I feel like I'm doing something about it other than waiting.
So, yeah. I have to play mindgames with myself.0 -

I go after work too, so full makeup, but half of it is gone by the time I leave. Waterproof mascara is wonderful! And I'm the opposite of you...rarely leave the house without makeup because I feel more comfortable with it on.0 -

I'm losing from my boobs the most, so my shape has changed and I'm disproportionate and it feels so weird. Like, I'm losing weight, isn't that meant to boost my self-image? It's tiring, to say the least.
I don't have the same exact feelings as you but I feel weird about the way I look now as well. I don't know what it is but I've lost almost 50 lbs total (25 a couple years ago and almost 25 this year so far). I feel like I look just as big if not bigger now. In my work clothes I think I look terrible. I just can't seem to figure out where I'm losing the weight from because everything fits pretty much the same and I don't think I look better at all. No one notices anything either.
Sorry you are feeling uncomfortable. I'm sure you look great though.

ScarletShopaholic wrote: »ScarletShopaholic wrote: »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 do this too. My fingers look a mess, but I haven't been able to stop. I don't bite my nails as much as I used to, but I still pick at the skin. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember and it gets worse if I'm anxious or stressed. I'm embarrassed to let people see my hands.
And it doesn't help that I live in a dry climate so my skin is always rough (I try to use lotion, but it's not enough).
i peel layers of skin off of the bottoms of my feet and heels. sometimes i rip off too much, hit raw flesh then end up with a slight limp for a few days while it heals....
I did the peely foot skin thing once, ended up with way more than a slight limp for 3 days - it was weeks before it stopped hurting but then I am a big wuss
It sucks so much! My heeled boots mess* my feet up (I'd usually swear there but can't remember if we're allowed to here!) and they're rougher than they've ever been, I got a foot scrub from Lush but it isn't hardcore enough.
My confession: just had a row with my OH cos earlier he was teasing me, holding food away from me and saying I couldn't have it - he was just playing around (immature sense of humour in general) but that's a massive trigger for my ex -ED thoughts, and he knows that. He claims he forgot that deliberately and gleefully withholding food from me, in order to tease me, is a trigger. My brain just goes 'nope, that's wise, you're a fat cow, you don't deserve to eat' and my appetite shuts down. I've been doing well recently but this has brought up old stuff.
My boyfriend thinks he's 'helping' when he tells me I shouldn't eat something because he knows I'm trying to lose weight. Thing is if he says don't I am so eating it plus more just to show him that I do what I want when I want. Then I get annoyed with myself because I really want to lose weight! I confess I am such brat sometimes.
I know how you feel. My husband will ask where I want to eat when we are out doing errands and stuff. I always tell him I don't care. One time he freaked out on me. I just sat there wondering what the h#** happened. He then proceeded to explain that he wants me to choose so I know I will eat something I need vs something just to eat. He is trying to be helpful, but I hate having to be the one to pick a place to eat on the spot.0 -

Ah, you see, I kinda feel I'm not worthy of make-up. My logic is, it's not going to cover up the fact I'm fat. To me it's like putting make-up on *Insert ugly creature here* (I know some people will find one animal ugly but others find cute). I see it as a waste of time, money and effort putting it on, and then more time, money and effort taking it off. But that's my opinion, I know people who HAVE to put make-up on just to nip to the shops. Even worse, I know people who will spend the entire of a Saturday getting ready for that night. What a waste of a day?!0 -

I was so mad when my aunt posted a picture to Facebook of my cousin revealing the pink cupcake for a girl with me in the background at the party looking pissed off. It's like, "You couldn't have cropped me out??" lol I hate that picture so much.
I kind of feel like gender reveals should be more having the future grandparents over than big family party, you know? Take a cute photo, slap it on Facebook, and everybody else knows!
Seeing as how I'm going to BE one of these soon, I LOVE this idea! It's a lot more intimate and meaningful in my opinion.

I ate like damn near a whole Dominos pizza last night with the kids after going all day without eating and lifting heavy. Back on it today!0
