So I like that idea... planning any more than that will probably just.... well, I probably won't stick with it for long. Even the dinner thing is a problem, so I'll just TRY MY HARDEST!!! Better that than going to the grocery store blind :P Stupid yummy things. Crazy thing is I used to obsessively plan out grocery lists in high school and stuck to them perfectly and had fun doing it. Where did that go?
I only plan suppers as well. Back when I first started doing it, I would figure out seven or ten suppers I wanted to have and put them on a list and buy what was needed. Then I would just pick what meal I wanted to cook that night. It wasn't until the kids started to cook that we decided which meal we were going to eat which night. I enjoyed the flexibility with structure, of the list if you know what I mean.

I hate planning meals. More often than not I end up too hungry in the evening to make whatever I had planned and it has to change anyway... or I get bored with the same foods but can't find any new ideas. I have to do groceries now and I have no idea what to get for the week because I'm not really craving anything, especially for breakfast or lunch... and it makes me sad to eat boring food.
I often feel like just saying @#*#$ it in the evenings and not cooking what I had planned - and then just getting some junky takeout. If I was just cooking for me I'd probably do it regularly. It actually helps that I cook for the family - really helps me stick to the menu plan because I am responsible for feeding them all something nutritious.

It's "lose", not "loose"
I used to do that with anti-aging lotions. I've only found one thing that works. It's an application that reduces bags under the eyes for the day.-1 -
I just went bathing suit shopping, and I really do wear a size 4. Everything else was too loose (this is the correct usage of the word "loose" - btw).-1

We're not supposed to correct grammar here. And seeing as its a no judgement thread, it's kind of rude. You can have your own post that it bugs you when people misuse the word, but it isn't very nice to call out a particular poster IMO.

Me too. I swore at a container of ricotta today. Every single one of them... if you try to peel the top plastic layer by pulling on the tab on the side, it just breaks, instead of lifting the plastic as it's supposed to. Every single ******* time. You need a knife to open the thing. Ridiculous.0 -

This happens to me all the time. It's 2015....you'd think they would have mastered the adhesive thing by now.

love, love, love skirts and dresses. Reading backwards so haven't gotten to these yet, but feel the need to comment on this. And sexy shoes. I have a lot of sexy shoes. Well, shoes in general.
Me too! Shoes. I love fancy shoes.0 -

I hate copiers. When ours at work jams, it jams in like 10 places and you spend 10 minutes trying to find all the problems. I especially hate it when others jam the copier and leave it for the next person

Confession - I don't get why so many people already try to find justifications for cheat days when they are just starting out. Seems like a recipe for failure to me.0

The one that bugs me is those stupid fancy vinegar bottles you get in pubs or restaurants trying to be posh... The ones with the gaping hole and the stopper you have to lift out. Then you have to try dribbling vinegar out at the perfect angle. 1 degree either way means you either get no vinegar at all or one chip gets ALL THE VINEGAR. I mean, it's 2015 dammit, we solved this problem like 100 years ago, but nooooo, your stupid pub is too fancy for a freaking normal bottle of vinegar!

I don't think she favours either one of us more-- if anything, I'm a little more like her than my sister. From what I know my mother doesn't have a history of following the rules scrupulously LOL. But interesting to think about, especially because my mother is naturally very thin so more likely to believe that everyone else is too.lalabrucey wrote: »LadyAbsynthe wrote: »I'm *kitten* sick of my mother acting like it's totally fine for my naturally-heavy sister to be anorexic, acting like her size is normal and okay, blah blah blah, when she never did anything but call me "a *kitten* skeleton" and tell me to eat more when I lose my appetite from depression (which she would never believe I had, even when I was constantly suicidal.)
She's really amazing in general, but that particular thing pisses me off so much, especially because I've confronted her about it. She literally knows that my sister looks at thinspo, has calorie counts, unhealthy weight goals, extreme restriction, etc. and she just chooses to completely ignore it because my sister is the perfect child. Sigh.
My parents favour my younger sister more than me because she is most like them. As my sister pointed out to me once, my goals and priorities probably make them insecure about their own which is why it is easier to favour her. (I never knew she was so wise?!)
Don't know if this applies in your situation but food for thought?
PS Anorexia sounds heartbreaking, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for her or anyone else with this terrible disease.
I think of how they must feel inside and I just want to cry for them.
Who are her role models? Athletes or .. erm....models who have been Photoshoped?
Beautiful at any size but health should always be our priority. Good luck, it won't be easy xx
Her role models are the typical photoshopped models, thigh gaps and ribcages and blah blah blah. Hopefully it'll get better. She's in college now so there's not really anything we can do. It would just be nice if we were held to the same standard, or whatever, but then I feel like a terrible person for thinking that. And now I just feel like a fat jealous *kitten* and it's ridiculous.
And I want to be really skinny again, but I'm terrified that if I do I'll end up really depressed again and now that I'm finally okay I don't want that to happen. So I don't know what to do. ugh. [/rant]

Thank you so much for your kind wordsFluffySandwich wrote: »
Oh my, I'm really sorry to see this. I've had problems with my own mother in the past, and like you I've suffered from depression and bulimia and thought she highly favored my siblings over me. I know it can be frustrating and hurtful, and I wish I could think of some good advice to give you. I love my mom with all my heart and I have grown to forgive her. If your sister is anorexic, though, she needs help. Unfortunately, while your mother certainly SHOULD NOT encourage anorexia, depending on how old your sister is she might just end up pushing her towards it more if she tries to stop her.LadyAbsynthe wrote: »I'm *kitten* sick of my mother acting like it's totally fine for my naturally-heavy sister to be anorexic, acting like her size is normal and okay, blah blah blah, when she never did anything but call me "a *kitten* skeleton" and tell me to eat more when I lose my appetite from depression (which she would never believe I had, even when I was constantly suicidal.)

I'm really sorry about your situation.
EDIT: Your sister needs some positive encouragement. Maybe she should look at some of the success stories on here from women who have been weight lifting and eating healthily! I know I'm impressed! yeah, I don't know how to encourage her without making her worse. I know when I had an ED I just wanted everyone to shut up about it and got upset if anyone brought it up, so... I don't know. But definitely finding super strong women who were healthy as role models was important for me (mostly they were metal singers but whatever works, works, right? :P) 0 -
Confession: I ate Burger King at about 11:30 this am. It was so-so.

Ugh my daughters communion dress is still sitting on the sewing table. Just have to wait for her to get home to try on the top to make adjustments. I have had the top almost (just needed to sew two small strips) ready for her to try on for over a week and have been procrastinating. I could probably get it finished in a day if I would just do it.
Oh and I just want to eat and eat and eat today. blah0 -

Me too. Trypophobia. Don't look it up if you don't like holes. gives me the willies.
I hurt my knee at work but when I got home Friday it popped while I was going down the stairs. I had to go to the ER. I'm using a knee brave and crutches. I really hope work comp will cover it since my initial injury happened at work. Any thoughts? I have to squat/kneel a lot at work to put supplies away. I'm mad it happened at home.
I feel extra bad for all you guys that are injured right now too. I now know the feeling.

Confession: I am having my gall bladder removed next month on the 14th, I am secretly hoping that once it is out, it will kick-start my metabolism and I can start losing again b/c for months since I've been having problems w/ it, I haven't seen the losses I would have expected.
First, I hope the surgery goes ok. I lost a lot of weight after my gallbladder surgery since everything passed through so fast haha. So, you actually might lose weight.0 -
Confession 1: First post and am super nervous. I've been reading this thread over the last couple of weeks. I've laughed hysterically, been pissed of and amazed, learned a lot, and met so many interesting characters and had my heart broken by some of the really intense things you've all talked about. Better than any novel. So joining in feels weird.
Confession 2: I've just started taking this "get healthy" thing seriously, and have been tracking for a couple of weeks. So far so good on mostly sticking to it, and carefully weighing and measuring to make sure I'm not fooling myself. I am so angry at myself about how long it has taken me to start doing this properly, about all the years where I just let things creep up a pound at a time, and about everything I miss out on because of my weight that I kind of hate myself. I should probably work on that.
Welcome!
I can relate to your 2nd confession. I feel similar. good luck!
Sorry for all the post I'm trying to catch up. 0 -
I had a late-ish lunch yesterday that was pretty healthy and fairly filling. Around 7pm, I still wasn't hungry but I decided to go ahead and have a glass of wine. Still not hungry by 8:30, so I figured, "Heck, I'll just skip dinner tonight since I'm not hungry."
But I kept drinking.
I had 5-6 glasses of chardonnay (can't remember exactly how many) for dinner.
The funny thing is that it fit into my calorie count for the day, because yes, I logged it

If it makes you feel any better, I had a half bottle of wine with my friend, a mojito AND dinner. I was over for the day, but I'd had a lean week, so it will all come out in the wash.I had a late-ish lunch yesterday that was pretty healthy and fairly filling.

I'm not logging today. I'm eating sushi/seafood udon for lunch and dinner and drinking wine....all afternoon. But I spent a good amount of time cleaning the floors, so I should have burned some of those calories off!0

I save calories back all week so I can booze it up on Saturdays.
