Apparently you look so good, it needed to be said twice.0 -
My whole life I have been very sensitive to heat. Even when I was underweight I would get hot very easy. If it was 65f/18C degrees outside I would at the least need a fan going. I am currently dressed in four pairs of socks, three pairs of pants, three shirts with a sweatshirt over the top and I am wearing fluffy finger-less gloves. I am still freezing! My confession is that I am the reason no one has any hot water! Sitting in a hot tub is the only time I am warm. If I could sleep in there I would.
Have you had your thyroid checked. I, even being obese, was so cold all the time. Once I got my thyroid regulated, I am more normal. I am still cooler than normal people, but not as cold as I was.0 -

Cuz I called someone 'rude' who was being rude? Not sure. But it kinda makes me happy - first flags!0 -

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 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.
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?!
Aww...this makes me sad. I don't wear makeup 99% of the time because I don't want to spend the time or money AND and I think I'm damn sexy without it. (I also have a twinge of uncomfortableness with the idea that just women do it - like we have to fix ourselves for public consumption.) If you WANT to wear it, please don't let anything stop you, especially not feeling like you're not worthy. Hugs.0 -

But you realize it and can put a stop to it! Don't let others make you feel guilty for it, either! You take control of your life for YOU. Putting yourself first and others second is not selfish. You can do it!
I know it is easier said than done. No one in my immediate family eats healthy or worksout. They probably all think I have an obsession, but I don't care. I'm healthy and happy and they all have health issues. Just trying to help.0 -

Yep, pretty sure that IS the definition of "going for a walk" for a cat! Funny.0 -
I tried this a couple of times with one of my long-ago cats. We called it "Going for a drag".

Kummerspeck is a German word that refers to excess weight gained from emotional over-eating. Its literal translation? Grief bacon.
Mmmmm, bacon.0 -

But is it truly pretending if it turns out (albeit after the fact) that you *would* have a bad day if he *didn't* rub your feet...?
...so... in the end, you've actually been honest... you've just told the truth 'early' is all...
Very true. And thank you for the explanation of your screen name!0 -

Same here. But, I only wear lip color and eye make-up. No powder, foundation, concealer, etc. I like to keep my skin as clean and clear as possible. I imagine if I did wear anything like that it would drip all over the place and be quite an ugly mess!0 -

I am awlays consious of what i look like and because I am not proud of my body, I dont speak up on occassions when I need to.
Sorry you are struggling, but moving to a new area means you can create a whole new YOU! Speak up. Be bold. Transform your life. You can do it!0 -

I've had it tested before. I have different medical issues and it was suspected that thyroid was one of them. I was under the impression the cold was from losing weight though or should I have it checked again?

This is cracking me up as well. I think if I tried to put a harness on my cat and drag her around outside she'd look completely betrayed and hide under the couch for a week.

Neither do I! I only eat turkey bacon.
The whole "bacon craze" is just another example of how we're a nation of fat*sses.
I prefer pork roll.
Hey! The real you! Very nice pic, AOJ!
I agree!0 -

How appropriate that the most quoted post is once again quoted on page 400!
I noticed that, too! Of course, I'm struggling to keep up again so haven't been able to respond to everything.0 -

I keep a stash in my car boot. Which if fine through the winter, then I have to think of somewhere else for the summer because it melts and makes a big chocolate mess in my car... which can be mistaken for something else.
This reminded me of an embarrassing story... a few years ago I went out shopping with my cousin. I was wearing white shorts. We got to the mall, wandered slowly around, got ice cream then finally went into a store. A sales lady came up to me and discreetly told me that I had something on my shorts. There was a brown stain right in the center of my butt. Turns out that a younger cousin had been in the car earlier, eating chocolate covered almonds. I sat on it and melted it.
I bought a new pair of pants in that store. I'm still paranoid about wearing white pants/shorts.
Oh no, how embarrassing. At least you were somewhere that you could buy new pants right away.
Hopefully you can laugh at it now.0 -
I'm trying to force myself into doing a paper and studying. I'm telling myself that if I do it, I can order one of the dresses off this site http://1861.ca/. I just discovered it recently and I have NEVER been a fan of clothes shopping, but I love their dresses!!!
Ok. I don't know which one to get, but hopefully bribing myself will help me finish this semester.0 -

I feel your pain. My size 12 pants have been baggy in the butt and thighs for weeks, I'm waiting for my middle to catch up so I can move down a size!0 -
I confess that this thread has gotten way to long for me to even want to keep up with it.0

Yep, me too. I've gotten so many nice clothes from thrift stores. Definitely helps stretch my budget.

Water weight with a risk of heat stroke. I'm not trying to be judgmental, but this is a bad idea.
My protein levels suck almost every day.
Actually, There are a number of reasons so talk to your doctor or if you feel healthy, keep going. I'm not saying its nothing to worry about, I'm not saying it is but I cant make judgments without knowing everything about you.
For me, I have a hormone imbalance (PCOS) and whatever weight I have been at I sweat like crazy at the gym. I'm talking like shirt drenched type of sweat and its perfectly normal. Some people just sweat, we are all have different body chemistry.0 -

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.
My husband always makes me choose and it drives me up the wall.0 -
I often feel sick when I look at small holes or clustered objects. English Tea Muffins terrified me as a child and I still don't like to eat aerated chocolate.0
