Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I lied when I first started my Journey on myfitnesspal app and on all my medical forms because I was so fat that the scales couldn't reach the weight I actually was. I knew the exact weight because I work at a hospital and they had a special scale for really obese people. Now that I've lost 80 pounds, I'm feeling really stupid. I was 452 pounds in October. I weighed in today at 372.
80 pounds is an awesome achievement, well done you!
@Lois_1989 I love the shade of nail polish in the middle pic... and you have really nice nails (assuming that's your hand).0 -
I had a complete breakdown/tantrum this morning. Got on the scales and I'm back up to 214lbs. It's like I'm on some sort of weight bungee cord. I can't get past 212.9lb and I bounce back up to 214lb. I spend all month getting down to 212.9lb and back up again! So complete breakdown, sat crying on my bed for about 15 minutes, got dressed and went down stairs to get breakfast and saw my swimming stuff on the line outside frozen from the frost in the morning. Completely flipped out. Gym bag went across to room, laundry went flying around the room and I just thought bollo*ks to this I'm going to work grabbed my handbag a left. Arrived at work an hour early, no breakfast, I didn't even brush my teeth. Currently trying to find a local therapist, I don't want to go on the happy pills, but I can't take this much more.
So sorry you're having a crappy day! The weight thing is so frustrating! You're awesome and you got this!0 -

My confession: Sometimes. Late at night. When I am all alone. I pour ketchup on the floor and roll around in it naked screaming, "I'M A FRENCH FRY! I'M A FRENCH FRY!".....you guys do that too, right? :-\0

Stop talking about all this terrible amazing food I can't get over here. I once found S'mores poptarts in an import shop which were amazing, but cost a bomb.
Plus I'm having an eat all the things day, and it's not even close to TOM. Been planning my tea for the past 2 hours and I'm don't finish work for another 3!0 -

I sweat like a dog. (lol not literally) I wore them my first time around when I was losing weight.
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.
+1. The sweat is there to cool your body off. let it. I "sweat like a horse ". Literally.
Dress to evaporate the sweat ,stay cool and try to drink enough water to offset the water/sweat loss.
Water is filling and almost calorie free (((;

@ythannah Why thank you! Yes that is my hand. The nail polish is BarryM, not sure of the shade I'm afraid, I can check it when I get home if you like? I only got it a couple of weeks ago so it should still be in the shops.
And the nail varnish covers all the sins

I am definitely going to be buying poptarts but will wait until my surgery/recovery and will definitely be making ice cream sandwich with them as well. As for the poptarts vs. Strudel debate, I like both. Part of me also wants to try the gummy bears with the sugar substitute to get the plumbing moving again despite the warnings the reviewers gave.
I am also craving donuts from the Italian Bakery.... soo good. They also have the best sheet cake. It is the only "store bought" cake I will eat because it is so liquor laden that it squeezes out when you press it with a fork.
Also, the store was out of the battery I needed for my food scale. Not too happy about it.
Edited for autocorrect
Haha I love this. Maybe we should both get the gummy bears and write reviews for them later.
This thread makes me hungry.
Also, I love your cat too. So cute! She looks like my cat Lovey. I need to get a picture of her up here sometime (when I'm home).

Please do, if you remember. I've never seen that brand here, not in regular stores anyway... but I am taking a trip to the US in a few weeks!0 -
I went to buy cat food last night and I bought my husband and son a chocolate moon pie. I didn't even realize that they still made them. I haven't had one since I was a kid. Anyway, I ate my husband's on the way home. Lol came in under my calorie goal, but I feel like a jerk for eating his treat.0

This has been happening since February, it's driving me crackers. I can't even get my hopes up that I will break the boundary anymore.pofoster21 wrote: »I had a complete breakdown/tantrum this morning. Got on the scales and I'm back up to 214lbs.

Don't let that get you down! I have been bouncing around the same 3 lbs for the last month. I find I get "stuck" in a range for a while then suddenly drop. Just stick with your eating plan and keep moving and it will eventually come off.
But of course if you think talking to someone will help do it! I just wouldn't freak about bouncing around a certain weight. Sometimes you just have to "wait" it out. Now go brush your teeth! You'll feel better.
Yea, I feel really gross. I'm going to have to go buy a toothbrush and paste from the local shop on my break...
I have been bouncing at the same weight since before christmas.... it really sucks and I feel for you...0 -

Yep, I just googled and realized it's a UK product. I'm in Canada, and we used to have Boots stores here many years ago (and they may still exist in larger cities) but now there is just a limited selection of the Boots line carried in one of our major drugstore chains.
I'm originally from the UK and used to travel there pretty frequently. I've bought tons of products from Boots that became my favourites, that I can no longer get.0 -
Feeling great today! Was finally able to fit into pre-prego jeans...two years postpartum, and they are still my "fat jeans", but I digress. I still see it as good progress!0

Ah thank you both. I'm almost at my wits end. I bumped up my exercise routine to 6 days a week this month thinking I WILL get through it, which is probably what caused the explosion in my head. I'm completely wiped out now, pretty much falling asleep at my desk. And I am no use to anyone when I'm tired. Didn't go to the gym today, but I might go for a 30min run when I get home.

Oh wow! TUC biscuits used to be my fave when I was a kid. (Crispy, wafery salted cracker, for anyone who's not familiar with them). Spread thickly with butter. I've never seen them here in Canada, which is probably a good thing.Check it out. And after my previous post I want to just dive right in and bathe in chocolate biscuits.
The last picture is the batch that came in on Monday. If no-one claims them, they join the pile in the first picture in the kitchen lol
Lois, I'm sorry you're feeling so down, BUT STEP AWAY FROM THE SNACK CUPBOARD!
I hope you're feeling brighter soon.

a while back there was talk of being at a crossroads and making decisions as to whether the grass is greener on the other side. Last night hubby and I were looking at property in the GTA so we could be closer to the States and start doing things we wanted to do more in life rather than just go to work and make money but despise everything else around us and only do things to please others in our lives.
We got a call around 9:30 from our contractor's wife who we haven't spoken to since last year when we finished our basement. We hired this guy, who was 29, to build our deck and replace flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. He was really good at what he did and he developed our basement as well. We were more of acquaintances rather than friends but we got a long really well. My hubby sent him a text a few weeks ago to see if he would be willing to do some more work for us. While he was working for us, he would talk about how he wished he had more time to do the fun things in life rather than just work to support his two kids and stay and home wife.
On the call last night his wife told us that he had passed way in a car accident in January; she had only just opened his phone. It floored us and I am still shocked (and couldn't sleep for most of the night). This guy was so young and has two little kids (about 2 & 4)
My point is, is that life is so short and we get caught up in so much trivial things and take life and all of its pleasures for granted. You never know when your number is up. It really puts things into perspective.0 -
I think I am going to try putting my arm in a sling so I can do zumba today, but not worry about waving around my damaged arm. I'm not entirely sure if this is a good idea or a bad idea, but I feel really guilty if I don't exercise.0

Awww, maybe when I find out the shade, you could find another make that does a similar colour? Or if you REALLY want it I'm happy to post you it? Can't cost much...0 -
I was super worried that since I ate half a tub of ice cream that I screwed myself over for a loss this week. Stepped on the scale this morning and BAM down a pound, I definitely happy danced around the bathroom. Lol0

Me too, I don't think it hides anything...but seems to keep the jiggle at a minimum. I can hardly do anything without them on!
I always hate the way my clothes feel in Spanx. I have a small waist compared to the rest of me, and I feel like the waistline in my pants always squeezes me to death when I've tried to wear Spanx. Same with dresses. I don't like all the fat from my backside pushed up into my waist.0 -
My confession: I used to be able to adjust my intake and see the ounces and pounds drop really easily. (I'm in maintenance, so we're not talking much.) But something about turning 33 recently has ended all that and now the scale WON'T budge off a certain number and I just wanna drop those damn last two pounds! Trying really hard to stay motivated to stay consistent and not make things worse this weekend.0

I'm so glad I got groceries for this week already and hopefully I'll forget about this by the time I have to go again.
That's just evil.
I don't think this is the word you mean to use.
The Pop Tart love is running deep today. I confess that I don't eat Pop Tarts or Oreos or ice cream and now I'm feeling like the odd ball. I don't mind. I usually am the weirdo of the group in real life, so I suppose it makes sense here, too.
Nah Bzah...nothing odd about that. I'm actually allergic to whatever is in the Oreo cream filling and it's amazing how many bewildered looks I get when I say I don't eat them. Same with Doritos and American made Nutella (it's different overseas). We can be weirdos enjoying other desserts.fitfatty88 wrote: »AgentOrangeJuice wrote: »AgentOrangeJuice wrote: »AgentOrangeJuice wrote: »Basically, PRO TIP if you're not eating the Ice Cream Shoppe flavors of Poptarts, broken up no top of real ice cream, you might be doing it wrong.

Thank you! I used to eat Dorito's, but no longer do and I've never had Nutella.0
