I hate change, though. It's a flaw. [Heh, I just noticed that you said that too in a subsequent post--not directed at you!]

Confession: I bought both the White Chocolate Wonderful and the Dark Chocolate Dreams and was pretty meh about both. Neither really had much flavor, I felt. Now the jar of coconut macaroon cookie butter, that stuff is dangerous, especially if you like coconut. Had to chuck the jar after tasting because I would have made myself sick eating it.0

There's an App called Meerkat, and basically it broadcasts you doing whatever you're doing with your phone or ipad camera. I've been streaming myself playing games on Meerkat.0

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.
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.
I get "stuck" too. I've been logging on MFP for almost 100 days, and I'm only down 5 pounds. I'll lose half a pound, gain a pound, lose a pound and so on. I didn't budge for almost 3 weeks and finally dropped like 2 pounds at once. It's a slow, frustrating process but don't give up.
Even if they weight isn't budging, think about all the other health benefits you are getting from exercising and eating healthier.0 -
i am a BINGE eater, and i love it when its happening...but i want to hide my wallet and throw out the bad food left in my house when ive finished. ill do great for a few days of healthy food, then i give up for an entire day of grease, sugar. I can laugh about it. lol0

I totally hear you! I have been bouncing between 214 and 212 for over a week now...I just want to get to milestone #1 (15lb lost) at 210, so I can keep going to my ultimate goat of 160-180. It sucks to get stuck!0 -

I need some sort of Selective Post Amnesia that makes me forget tasty food products I've never heard of but would probably enjoy. Enjoy in a way-too-much sense.0 -
My wife does Zumba in the living room in the evenings and even though she's been doing it for months I still get so distracted staring at her butt that I cannot concentrate on anything else for the hour she does it.
This made me laugh so hard that I had a coworker stop in my office to see what was so funny. I had to blame a cat on the internet.0 -
Confession: I have a pretty nice backside and I didn't even realize it. I was turned around, looking in the mirror with a mirror so I could see how long my hair was getting when I noticed what a nice hourglass shape I've acquired since losing weight. And, it's only going to get better from here. Isn't my husband a lucky man!0

i kinda envy you 1. for the glorious find 2. actually eating it 3. the $ you saved on food.

Toasted buttered poptarts. Yep, butter them up like a piece of toast. I haven't had poptarts in years because I can't moderate when it comes to this.

Yea, I feel really gross. I'm going to have to go buy a toothbrush and paste from the local shop on my break...
On the plus side, though, if that is your hand in one of the pictures I love your nail polish color!

We have already established that it is Lois's hand and the nail polish is Barry M, a UK brand. 0 -
I realized last night I have this issue with feeling guilty if I do well at something. I am doing an agility class with my dog and I was able to pick up the new stuff last night that the other people weren't getting. I felt like one lady in particular was giving me stink eye because she wasn't doing so well (but seriously, who wears flip flops to something they know involves running and direction changes?). The instructor complimented me at the end and it took everything I had to not downplay it.
It kind of sounds like I'm humble bragging, maybe I am, maybe I should just turn it into actual bragging: Me and my dog are doing awesome in agility. Unfortunately I can't seem to allow myself to enjoy it and feel proud of her and I because... well I don't know why.
It's not wrong to feel proud of being good at something, is it?0 -

Thank you! I saw that after I posted. I read this thread every day, so I have no idea how I'm always lagging behind and trying to keep up! Well, maybe because I actually have to work and get stuff done, too.0 -
I slept in over 30 minutes late so my whole routine was off and I was rushed this morning.
Their is a very good chance I forgot to put deodorant on.

I think a lot of people, especially women, struggle with this. I know in school, I got excellent grades. I was in the top 2% of my high school graduating class and went to college on a 100% academic scholarship. Most of my friends didn't realize it because I would always pretend like my scores were poor on a test where I may have gotten a 95%. I was embarrassed that some things came so easy to me.
I still downplay my accomplishments to some extent. I've had managers/directors tell me to be more outspoken about what I'm accomplishing, so I'm working on it.0 -
Okay, I chalk this up to my OCD, lol. Whenever I scoop something out of a jar with a spoon (i.e. peanut butter), I weigh the spoon first. Then I weigh it again after I'm done dishing out a serving. That way I can lick the spoon and track what I ate off the spoon as well.
Jesus Christ this is brilliant.

It's the culture, we don't keep score in peewee sports leagues, everythings about sharing, and making everyone feel good, we're weeding out that killer instinct to get in and get after it and scream for the rafters when you take it.0 -

Of course not! That is really awesome. Healthy for both you and your doggie. And yes, wearing flip-flops to an agility course is just silly.0 -

I agree with that in more recent years. I'm too old for that, though.
Of course, I grew up on a farm. I didn't play any sports; we didn't have the money to haul me into town for peewee sports and such in the 70's-80's.0 -

I had this problem when I was younger. In 1st grade I was sent to the 2nd grade class for reading. At that age (for me anyway) that was traumatic! I had no friends, they were all older than me and it singled me out and different. Everyone called me smart and I didn't like that. I struggled. In 2nd grade I was moved to the 3rd grade class and couldn't do it another year, so I acted like I wasn't able to keep up. Looking back that was stupid. Maybe I could have skipped a grade if I'd just stuck with it. Oh well. Live and learn.0 -

I do this too. I tell people I'm totally awesome all the time (and I am), but I rarely give actual reasons why, since it feels so awkward. My hubby-to-be is pretty good at bragging for me.
Edit: Spelling is hard.0 -

It would've been for me too. I don't like being singled out and while I want to be good at things and be acknowledged, I get embarrassed when I do finally get that acknowledgment and try to brush it off.
I had a quick internal argument with myself last night after I was complimented. I was about to make excuses, brush it off but told myself to shut up because why can't I be good at something? I'm kind of glad it was after everyone else was gone because I feel like otherwise it would draw more attention to me.0 -

Not wrong! From some of your posts, it seems that you are a little down right now, and sometimes when you've been down for awhile, it's hard to remember how to be proud and hold your head up high, but that's exactly what you should do!0 -

Most of the features are things they already have for free on other sites. It came out around page 7 or so that it also breaks the existing scripts people are using, so that your only option now is to pay them the $50/yr to set your macros by gram. That's really going to be the tipping point for me. If karo doesn't get updated, or if the net carb script breaks, there's no reason for me to be here over SP.0
