    Confession: I just broken my second toilet seat. I really need to speed up this weight loss. OR the toilet seat people need to get there s**t together. I know its the former, but I'm going to pretend it's the latter for the moment...

    Definitely the toilet seat's fault.

    I want to start a thread to see if anyone noticed an improvement in weight loss following an iron infusion but after the Cheerios thread....I'm afraid. I'm also afraid that people will tell me my forever-plateau is because my diary is closed/I'm not weighing everything/im over estimating my burn calories, when in reality, I weigh everything that isn't a single serve packet (down to the last gram), I eat based on TDEE and just let the exercise calories tally up because it makes me feel all powerful to know I have 500-600 calories before I go into the red.

    Instead I'm going to eat my two squares (18g) of Whittakers Ghana Peppermint chocolate. Dairy free deliciousness ftw!

    Is Cheerios chick back?!?!?!?!?

    I frickin' hope not! She makes me crazy.

    Of course! :neutral: There is no workmanship in anything these days, just cheap poor quality toilet seats that just aren't up to the correct standards. :wink:

    If you are a praying person, I am asking for some right now. If not a praying person, maybe send some good vibes. My sister's sister-in-law is 30 weeks pregnant, after 5 attempts at IVF. On Sunday, she was having issues with her kidneys, so yesterday they decided to go and put in some drains. While under anesthetic, she vomited and aspirated. Due to lack of oxygen, she is now in a coma and has been placed on life support. The family was all called last night and the Dr's basically admitted they were keeping he alive as long as they can for the baby's sake, but there is little to no brain activity. Now a baby that was wished for, for so long, is likely not going to have a Mama. Miracles do happen, and we could really use one today!

    Oh, I don't have words... praying!

    @ladybuggnorris this broke my heart. :'( I will pray that God gives your family strength and wisdom in such a difficult situation. I'll also pray for a strong and healthy baby that will so incredibly loved when it joins this world. Hugs, my friend.!

    My step-daughter came over last night and she was talking to her dad about what happened with the pregnancy. I'm such a terrible person, I didn't say anything. No comforting words, no words of encouragement, nothing. A big fat NOTHING. I wish I wasn't so awkward around her. We're not close (we just started getting to see her late last year because her mother is a hose beast that kept her away) and I don't want to overstep my boundaries with her. I wish I would or could have said something though...

    I desperately want to incorporate "hose beast" into my vocabulary. Please elaborate.

    You're not a terrible person. That's a hard position to be in and your heart was in the right place. At some point you'll find the words. <3

    So where to begin;
    - I can't eat bad stuff in moderation, open bag of revels is an empty bag of revels
    - I spread the portions across several days to make me feel better
    - I put in exercise to stay in the green for the day and then do the exercise the next day
    - If I lose more than I expect I only log the planned loss to give me a head start on next week (and avoid fluctuations
    - And the real confession, I got so fed up of 'Mr Perfect' at the gym, who doesn't work there, constantly offering advice and then laughing about it with others, not to mention that he strolls round the changing room naked for at least 20 minutes so I broke into his locker and put ground rose hips in his boxers

    I know I am a bad boy, I will go and stand in the corner

    Hose beast - an undesirable female, either by her appearance or personality. Popularized by the movie Wayne's World.. 90's slang

    We are taking our Administrative Assistant out for lunch as it is Administrative Professional's Day, and this is what she chose. Everything looks delicious and I'm not sure I'll make the healthiest choice.

    That's a tough situation. I'm really awkward in situations like that too--it sounds like you are trying to respect her boundaries but it's so hard to guess what will help or be the right thing to do.

    Because I' m a dude and I call it as I see it . The confessions thread was flooded with pity posts and you're not even close to her so you have no emotional attachment to her or a step-baby. Seems annoying. just sayin.

    Just so you know, everyone went off on that poster because she's posted at least five or six times with the same subject and asking about different foods. One of the ones before the Cheerios read something like... "Will my iron level improve if I eat three ounces of turkey meatballs a day?". She then shot down everyone who dared to suggest that it WOULDN'T significantly improve, and also yelled at posters that suggested having meat instead (due to its having much more iron), and also yelled some more at the posters that told her that she was getting the nutrition info wrong because turkey only has X amount of protein in Y amount... You get the idea. :)

    That's a coincidence, my husband's ex is also a hose beast.
    I'm really sick of paying an attorney so a judge can tell her to knock it off. Over and over and over.

    I'm at my old plateau. I can't seem to get under 202. Today I was visiting an elderly parishioner at a nursing home and asked if I could use the scale. A half dozen nurses encouraged me, waiting to celebrate that I finally was under 200. The scale said 203. I never heard so many suggestions for weight loss... "subtract 5 for clothes"... "strip and try again" from an elderly man watching us... "trust our calibration is always off, you made it"... "Let's try the scale in the other nurses' station"...

    What a bummer!

    Sorry for your disappointment, but this is really funny!

    My confession (I guess it's a confession?) is that I really hate bright lights and loud noises. I have extremely good hearing, so when people who are hard of hearing talk to me it can be so loud that it's physically painful, but they don't understand what I'm complaining about.
    ... So of course it makes 1000% logical sense that I can blast metal so loudly that my family complains but for some reason it's never uncomfortable.
    Also I've been freaking out constantly for about a week about a presentation I have to give for class this friday while doing nothing to prepare. This should be fun.

    I am exactly the same way, so I understand. My family says I have super-sonic hearing but I also blare heavy metal music at home and while driving.

    Not to ruin the vibe or anything, but my husband texted me a little while ago and told me my step-daughter had a miscarriage. I am really sad for her and especially sad for my husband. He was so looking forward to becoming a grandpa. I am a little sad too as I had just started warming up to the idea of being MoNana or GrandMo. :(

    So sorry! The loss of a child (no matter how far along or at what age) is difficult. I have lost two grandbabies after they were born, one at 23 days and one at 2 hours old. It is rough but you get through it.

    Is it bad that I'm secretly laughing at the fairly skinny girl in my office who is complaining about not fitting her favourite jeans - yet eats take out food everyday? Then she thinks the miracle cure is some pills she bought at the dollar store and something called the 14 day teatox?

    I'm so sorry for all of you who have received some bad news. :( Sending good vibes and the hope for a turnaround.

    I also hate really loud noises... it's why I have a slight fear of balloons. I don't really MIND balloons that much, but the second I see someone trying to pop one I am out of there. I also hate it when people talk/laugh really loudly near me, shoots my heartbeat right up. I appreciate people with soothing, low voices. Nothing against people with loud voices, I still like them as people, but for some reason it can really activate my anxiety.

    Then again I have always hated how quiet my voice is. Even when I'm shouting I can't be NEARLY as loud as most other people. When I think I'm being loud I still have people who are like "Sorry?"

    On Saturday I helped a friend move all day long, and the only thing I ate that day was a large pepperoni pizza. I didn't eat it all at once, but instead of getting something better for me, I just kept grabbing a slice here and there all day.
