Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I made a mug cake with Equal sweetener yesterday and it was awful. I was so excited to find the sugar at my aunt's this time that I made two cakes and ate them.
My aunt's smallest dog is an a--hole. He's a yorkie who gets into EVERYTHING if you turn your back, especially unattended food. He's so sweet and cuddly, but he is the devil. Once when I was dogsitting, he jumped on the kitchen table and ate a bunch of my food that I brought with me while I was in the shower. The kitchen is gated from now on when I shower.
What a stinker!
My aunt had a Rottweiler mix that two Easters in a row she deshelled the Easter Eggs & ate them.0 -

How much weight do you have to lose? Are you tracking your food on a digital food scale to make sure you're eating the correct portion?0 -
I confess that my period is coming up & I ate way too many sweets yesterday.
I had a whole Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Half Baked pint
3 Friendly's Cotton Candy ice cream cups
19-20 Oreos
Did some exercise yesterday & had enough to eat some of the Friendly's & almost all of the Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Half Baked.
Damn willpower & period.0 -
1) I spent most of Friday evening and Sunday reading this thread. I'm now up to page 250.
2) I have issues with mindless eating. I wouldn't say I binge, but I sometimes eat rather aggressively, just shovelling stuff in to finish all of what I have on my plate/the box I'm holding. And then I feel a bit sick and uncomfortable afterwards. I don't know why I do it. I think it has something to do with being bullied for being fat and being uncomfortable eating around people (my father would tease me about how much I ate when I was younger, not maliciously but thinking he was being affectionate, and it's made me a little awkward about eating when he's around). The stupid thing is that I've lived on my own for 15 years, so there's no one around when I eat, but I still cram stuff in like I was trying to finish it before someone sees me.
I was about to ask if you have siblings because that behavior is normally from a large family and it is fights for seconds. I used to tell my boyfriend he eats like a prisoner because he ate so fast. Then he would get indigestion and hiccups because he ate so fast he was swallowing air at the same time. Now I make him sit at a table and put his knife and fork down between mouthfuls. I would say you are getting pains because you are also swallowing air.
I actually only have a younger sister, and I can't really recall there being any fighting over the food when we were younger. Unless you count my dad, who would (and still does) just grab seconds without even checking, let alone asking, if anyone else wanted some.
Mostly, I think it's a shame thing. I don't want anyone to see me eat because I feel ashamed of my size, which was why I would sneak food when I still lived at home. Might be a remnant from those times. The silly thing? I wasn't huge then, just a couple of kilos overweight. I'm still only about 10-15 kg overweight, but the amount of self-loathing and self-esteem issues I have could make you think I was much bigger.
The air thing sounds plausible, though. I probably am.
Well, I think everyone hides naughty food. I have biscuits in my drawer at work.
But I only have one if I really want one. I won't tell myself I cant have them EVER again but if it is Gym day and I fancy something sweet I will allow myself one... or two. but no more and savor them.
It sounds more like you are secretive eating so people can't judge you.
Do you do it with just naughty food or all food? I would go with what JPW1990 suggests0 -

1. I used to edit my photos to make myself look slim. Like every single one of them. Now I don't, I post photos right away wothout editing. But when I show them to people "Look how much slimmer I got" I receive "Wait, but you haven't been fat at all!".
2. During periods I don't keep my diet and eat a lot of sweets. Then I feel guilty about it.
3. While working quite a lot on my body, very often I can't help thinking that this is all pointless. Whatever body I have, I will never love myself and, moreover, nobody will love me. What made me think weight matters?0 -

No work today, slept in, haven't walked yet. Stalling. I still feel too tired. Woke up at 4:30 am, didn't fall back asleep until after 5am, alarm about to go off at 6, shut it off at 5:55. Oops!0

I always keep a few in the freezer. I prefer to have something I know is decent enough in terms of calories/nutrition for those days when life just gets in the way and you need a quick and easy dinner.
If I didnt have them I would end up eating rubbish just for convenience.

It's a 20-40 minute read but man it's interesting and chilling. Enjoy! =D
And it's total fiction. I've lived in the Boise area my entire life. That never happened.0 -

Yup. First time in 100 days I spend the whole weekend over my calories and didn't do 1 iota of exercise. Which is really bad considering I watched some of the London Marathon and my cousin was running in it. Mwah ha ha ha!0 -

After a re-tally (Adding in stuff I had forgotten about), it turns out that I'm actually at roughly 6000 calories for the day. Go me.

I went to a Family Dollar store yesterday and bought generic "Fudge Covered Mint Cookies". To me, they taste exactly like Girl Scout Thin Mints. And they're only $1.75 for 32 cookies. This is bad. This is very, very bad. (But oh so delicious.)0

Went for Mexican with my daughter and her friend yesterday. There were 3 of us drinking margaritas, so we ordered a pitcher for the 2nd round. They brought out a half gallon pitcher with very little ice. I'm still bloated.
The chips may be a factor in that, too.0 -
Growing up, I always gave my dad *kitten* because he only bought cash cars, kept them alive as long as possible, and then when it died, he'd buy another clunker. I always said I'd never be like that.
Aaaand now my 15 yr old car is in the shop again, and I'm crossing my fingers that my mechanic will say "time to junk it" (instead of fixing it again) and FORCE me to get a new one (and it will be NEW.)
However, if he says "I can fix it for $400", the Cheapness DNA in me will fix it & drive it for another year. Thanks, Pops!0 -

Yeah, after putting $2500 in my sons 11 year old car this year, I decided he needed a newer one. He got it 2 weeks ago.
Sometimes a car payment is cheaper than repairs. Or the threat of more repairs.0 -

IMO, any year without a car payment is a good year. I did the stupid thing when I had my first real, full-time job. Ran right out and bought brand new, fully loaded, and had that $500/mo payment haunting me for years (this was mid-90's, my first apartment had cheaper rent than that).0 -

Wasn't all that much to look at, but the engine was killer. Met my husband when I had it, and he used to borrow it for work to show off. I guess he got bonus cool points for letting people know his gf drove a tougher truck than they did

Bah ha ha, yup, that makes it all worth it. I'm jealous of my mum because the men are jealous of her car. I just have a little hatchback 0 -
My workout this morning wiped me out, I'm ready to crawl under my desk and nap for a very very long time.0

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?
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.
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.
I was skipped ahead, not once but twice. The result was that by the time I hit the second year of high school, I was an unpopular 12 year old in a class of 14 year olds, the only crowd that would tolerate me was the out-crowd, and my desperation to fit in made me get into EVERYTHING they were in, as hard as I could. Got into massive conflict with my parents, because I didn't have any friends but the ones 2 years older, but I was 'too young' to do what they did. Cue me becoming a massive delinquent, sneaking out, lying and eventually dropping out of school and moving out of home 2 weeks after my 15th birthday.
I'm successful now, but that took until my 20's. My folks reckon letting me get skipped ahead on the basis of intellect alone was the worst mistake they ever made.
Wow! I'm so sorry that went that way for you! Who knew, though? I'm sure your parents intentions were good and it used to be encouraged more than it is now. Live and learn. I'm glad you were able to come out successful!0
