Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I am now 170lbs I spent 2 years going from 191 to 123. I had the help of a fabulous online trainer. I ate 2 cinnabons yesterday with at least 64 grams of carbs each. My exercise has been off. I;ve been feeling sad that my ex died. My current boyfriend calls me names. We broke up when I was 135lbs. I started going out with him again at 151. He calls me fatty or fat *kitten*, thunder thighs. I know I am responsible for my weight. My exercising was so strong when I lost weight the first time. Many days I get hungry and eat over the limit. My preparation isn't the best. Plus I am drinking 2-3 glasses of water. I know I can turn this around. My fitnesspal helped me once but its so easy to gain weight back. The biggest thing I've said is I'll start tomorrow. That's BS. I will not say that again to let me be unhealthy today. I got this...
Well you can drop 160 pounds easily by dropping your jerk of a boyfriend, IMO.
And I'm sorry your ex died
Exactly what I thought. You deserve so much better!
Me too! Me too! You are worth much more than that!0 -

That is NOT what I planned on wasting my one new car buy on.
Confession: I judge people who don't know how to drive a stick shift. I feel internally smug and superior towards them.0 -

That sounds like a good thing...unless you're causing injuries from over-training or something.0 -

Me, too! When we bought this car, the girl working at the car lot had to have someone else pull it into the garage because she didn't know how to drive a stick. I was thinking, 'you gotta be freakin' kidding me! You work at a freakin' car lot!"0 -

You are responsible for your weight, but you are not responsible for his mouth. Don't let him talk to you like that. You can definitely turn this around! You've done it before you can do it again.
E.T.A. I am very sorry for your loss.

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!
Overall, that's not necessarily a bad thing to have! But, it can hinder you at times, particularly if you are repeating a pattern from a parent that you don't necessarily like. If you buy something brand new, what will you get? (I can relate because my dad and I are both the same when it comes to money.)
I wouldn't go overboard. I don't have anything I need to compensate for with a ridiculous car, heh.
Honestly we might just do a 2 yr lease on a economy hatchback, and sock money away for a cash car after the 2 yrs are up.
After the last couple of years of the War Machine, driving a headache-free car sounds like heaven on earth
Sounds reasonable. Good financial plan. And yes, driving something reliable is nice. That's the reason I keep my 2003 Tundra. I know the entire history of it and it runs great. Still looks good, too. I really want a new Tundra because I like the new body-style, but I'm not giving up mine until it dies.0 -

I also really, really want Toyota to make a ridiculous luxury/sporty version of the Prius for those going through midlife crises and name it the Toyota Priapus. It would just be so perfect.
That's exactly when that salesperson would have lost my business!0 -
Add me to the bad mood party...
I have a UTI, and I'm so cranky about it. I went to the doctor, and they won't prescribe me antibiotics until the lab work comes back. I've just been eating tons of chips to make myself feel better.
I'm way over committed this week, I feel like garbage, and I just want to lay on the couch and eat cake. Woe is me.0 -

The purchase was already made! (And I don't regret it.)
Although I think it's funny that since I made that post my floating MFP ads are trying to sell me a Porsche.0 -

I bought some last week, stress-ate about a third of the jar, then threw the rest into my outside trash can so I'd stop eating it.

I have a friend who went to trade school to be a diesel mechanic, and wound up working at an oil change place. Didn't know how to drive stick.
Actually, I've had a few experiences at oil change places where the techs couldn't drive my car. *insert smug feelings here*0 -
Still driving my 2001 Nissan Xterra at 193K miles. I bought it pre-kiddos and pre-hubby. Love, love, love no car payment!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'm sure I'm with you on the calorie count.
Between yesterday & eating the 18 Mint Fudge Oreos (like the Girl Scouts Thin Mint), the whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Half Baked, some of the Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Cookie Core, & three Friendly's cups of Cotton Candy with Pop Rocks I had another bad eating day today.
Today I had a lot of Edy's Cinnamon Bun Fun & most of a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
At first I was going to restrict my calories to punish myself for being a pig, but my sister knocked some sense into me not to do it. For the time being I just need to avoid buying ice cream, gelato, cookies, etc. until I can be satisfied with just one portion.

Also, in my forensics class we were discussing a local case where a man had murdered his wife, and this one douchehammer said that "she probably cheated on him". Turns out I can't set people on fire with my mind 0

I'm quite pleased that in our family the 'learning to drive car' is my husband's old stick shift Ford Focus, so all three of my kids will be able to drive stick. We're Brits living in Canada, so for us it's completely normal to drive stick (manual), but a lot of people can't.quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »Confession: I have always wanted to buy ONE car brand new.

I don't know, it just annoys me when she gloats in my face about all the food she can eat when I have to limit my consumption or exclude completely certain foods in order to prevent myself from going into the 200s and feeling like crap. It also ticks me off when she doesn't give a care in the world about what she eats, complains about how fat she is and how I am fitting into clothes of hers that are too small, but then goes ahead and makes fun of all the "healthy junk" I eat.
She actually accused me one time of faking my hypoglycemia events -I asked her to do something for me when I was trying to bring up a low blood sugar, and she made that comment. That's how ignorant she is. Oh how much I wish for her to actually feel what it is like to experience a low blood sugar or the fatigue that comes along with staying up all night trying to flush out ketones so that you would not go into DKA.
Rant over.
I am also a T1 and am wondering why you have to exclude foods? As long as you take your rapid at a proper carb to insulin ratio, you should be able to eat literally anything you want!
I will confess I am feeling a bit judgy that you would wish this horrible disease on anyone.....esp someone you love....I am SO thankful my sister nor my son ended up with it....
The last post is crap, although I think it is -not common- but does happen among non diabetics......nobody has ever come out and said that to me, but I wonder if anyone ever thinks it.....
I only exclude certain foods that constantly and badly spike up my blood sugar, no matter what I do to change my insulin dosage or timing for it (Curse you, oatmeal. I could add fat to it and pre-bolus by a half hour, and I would be lucky if I am below 300 at the one-hour mark). I found it easier to exclude some stuff than deal with being 200-300+ for a few hours and then feel terrible because of the high.
I feel like if she was a bit more compassionate, I would feel a bit different. I don't know if she's painfully ignorant or painfully stupid, but she should have the common sense to not accuse me of faking when my blood sugar is out of control when she does not know what it feels like to experience those BG swings. I admit to not having that much support outside of some online diabetes communities (I was diagnosed as an adult, so my parents never had to learn about diabetes management -all they know is highs are bad, lows are really bad, and ketones are the devil), so a little part of me wishes someone in my family would understand what I am going through.
I always thought you could not be diagnosed with type 1 as an adult. Now I worry! Star whoosh....the more you know!0 -
I am starting to feel like francl!0

I agree. My sisters and I all had to learn to drive on a stick. We also all had to change a tire, by ourselves, before we were allowed to drive. My son will have the same requirements!0 -

I confess that I am one of those individuals who can't drive a stick shift. My brother took me out once several years ago and I was doing alright at it, but have never attempted again. I remain confident I could pick it up though lol.0

Eh, you'd do fine. All that matters is not having the mindset of "I could never do that!".0 -
