    My confession: I really really really want to get drunk, lol. I have a problem binging after a night of drinking and the amount of calories in drinks are just so much that I gave them up. I tried vodka and soda water but i still ate a lot and then the next day to take care of the hangover. I don't crave chocolate or salty things, I crave booze... in high doses.

    I'm cold all the time as a result of health issues. But after eating, it is a shaking cold. This has made me despise eating. I have lost joy in food, because of it. I set alarms to remind me to eat.

    It doesn't matter whether the food is hot or cold it still gives me the same feeling. I hate this.

    This is very unusual! I've never heard of it, anyway. Do you know what causes it? Obviously, that is a personal question and if you don't want to answer I completely understand! I'm just very curious and also sympathize with you for having to deal with this.

    Thyroid autoimmune disorder. Can't get meds until they determine if cancer is present in the growth I have on my thyroid. Next appointment for more testing is 6 weeks away.

    Thank you for the response; I apologize for my nosiness! Sorry you have to wait so long until your next appointment. Hopefully after that you can get some relief and there will be NO cancer! Wishing you all the best.

    I can't do any type of jumping jacks or running without my belly smacking the top of my thighs. It's really embarrassing. Going to talk to a surgeon about a panniculectomy. Three kids and yo-yoing between 140 and 252 a few times wrecked my belly.

    Omg. Same here. I also have three kids and my best weight is 140 ( also my goal) my highest was (and is again) 230..ugh. I lost 90lbs 6 yrs ago and kept it off but after having two more babies in under 2 yes, I'm back :( Food luck to u!

    I live in Canada and it's winter. If I drive home with the windows open wearing only my workout clothes, it counts as a shower right? Right?

    Confession - I am truly glad I only have about 16 pounds I want to lose. (Even though I've fought it for years) When people post the "I have 100 pounds (or more) to lose" I am so glad that isn't me. I can't imagine the hard work and determination it would take to go from 100+ pounds overweight to strong and healthy. I don't know that I would have it in me.

    Yesterday I drank a protein shake in the morning and ate nothing else all day so that I could have a cheeseburger and fries for dinner.

    Today, I forgot to pack an extra shirt to work out in so I'm wearing the same shirt that I worked out in. I feel gross but i'm just going to deal and others around me will have to do so as well. lol

    I've worked out so hard that I threw up. It was an Insanity workout, and I use that as my benchmark of "did I work out too hard?"

    My husband is an instructor at a USMC schoolhouse, that is his benchmark for if he pushed his Marines hard enough. He got three to throw up this week during a 4 mile run

    Your husband could not be my personal trainer! I'd end up dead, lol.

    We've got friends over for lunch tomorrow ...it is a rule in my house that we always offer 3 puddings ...

    Can I please please please be invited over for lunch? :)

    And is it a choice of one of the three puddings, or may I have all three?

    (Yes, I have a sweet tooth. I've been known to eat second helpings of dessert on many occasions. )

    I had a middle school basketball coach who seemed to take sadistic delight in making 12- and 13-year-old girls vomit. She lasted one season.

    I have a bike but I haven't ridden one since I was a kid and I am scared that I forgot how (I know, I know). I don't want to look like a damn fool falling off it. I have had it for years. I even lent it to a relative for a couple of years.

    You'll be fine, you will remember. Just when you start back, don't be a dummy like me and decide that your dog walking time will fit in with bike time. My 105 lb German Shepherd saw a cat, I saw road rash. Shook it off like it didn't hurt and gimped on home so I could go snivel about it in private.
    There's a confession, when my dog wiped me out on my bike, I did try it again, and he made me flip it again. I don't ride a bike anymore.

    I had a cheeseburger and fries for lunch, so I skipped dinner to make up for it. I was starving by this morning...cheeseburger was worth it.

    my confession - i hate exercise. at least at this point. my feet ache and legs ache from too much weight. i have no energy. i can walk 2-3 blocks only. i can stand about 5 minutes at most. my weight has done this. i dont know when i will exercise. im going to maybe do pool exercises for now.

    My confession is that I freaking LOVE exercise and get really bitchy/angry when I am injured or otherwise unable to move.

    I also get really good endorphin highs even though I don't run much.

    My sister was an Olympic-level distance runner and she was impossible to be around when she could not run. I have never been on that level as an athlete (different body type) but I am exactly the same way--it just isn't as obvious to others in my case.

    so how do I go from absolute hate and loathing to feeling like you?

    I was you 6 months ago. I hated exercise and now I have to have it, and get upset when I don't get at least 3 workouts in a week. It started with starting, really. I went to a fitness camp and got kickstarted on nutrition and just moving, I started making myself go for a mile walk at least 3 times a week and was meeting with a trainer once a week for strength training. I can now run 4 miles 3 days a week, and do strength training for 1 hour 3 days a week. It has been cold too much lately and I have missed some runs so I have been cranky a lot.

    I am in the middle of changing from loving being lazy to loving being active. After I make myself work out I make a point to notice what feels good: I feel less achy, more energy, proud of myself, happy and relaxed, can eat more now, etc., etc. Then when I should work out but am not feeling it I remind myself of those things "that headache you have? You can fix it without meds! And be in a better mood! And get more snacks..." I think it's working. It's a process tho lol. Hence my confession - after 3 days in a row 13 hour shifts last weekend (plus an hour commute each way) on my first day off I was SUPER LAZY! Kept my pj's on all day and only made like 285 steps! Huuuge nap in the middle of the day too! And I loved every minute of it! :smiley:

    SOmetimes when I work out, I'll just stop and let the heart rate monitor run out like a clock at a basketball game and count those towards my calories at the end of the day.

    Lets see what else.....

    I have only ever started a diet on a Monday cause come on... who ever really starts their diets any other day of the week?

    I sometimes binge eat and then make myself workout when I have that sickish feeling so that I can REMEMBER IT, should I ever do so again in a very "Look at you... look at your choices" kind of way.

    I have every Zumba workout set known to man and dont use them.

    and lastly, I literally get ANXIOUS if I dont get a second serving of something be it dinner, a snack, at a party, etc. I feel like Im missing out on something.

    Yesterday my work bought delicious pizza for a meeting we were having. I was able to not eat any pizza but it stressed me out so badly that I got super flushed and ended up with a rash on my chest.

    I threw a pissy fit, just like a little kid when my husband tried to tell me I couldn't use the iPad while running on the treadmill.

    Gotta admit I would not pitch a fit.

    I would file for divorce.

    :p

    (ETA: I love "tried to tell me".)

    Once every week or two I buy a dozen chocolate donuts, get to the office early & leave them in the break room anonymously, and get grim satisfaction out of watching the same people who say to me "I need to eat like you" chow down.
    HAHAHAHA you're evil! I love it

    Thanks for starting this! I love raw hot chocolate powder. I started MFP monday and was doing well and today ate (4) homemade white chocolate chip cookies someone brought in. Why can't I say NO? First thought give up! Now I need to get back on track.

    Glad you're ignoring that first thought! Log it and move on. You will make better choices tonight/tomorrow.

    I feel guilty after eating anything for 2 or 3 hours afterwards, no matter how light... Pretty consuming when it's all you think about all day

    Sorry for your stress, but you conquered the craving! The rash on your chest is temporary, whereas over-eating pizza can have long term effects. Good job! (not saying pizza is bad; just noting the personal victory by choosing not to eat the pizza instead of letting it choose you)
