    I've been a food monster today, and I've eaten up to about three hundred calories over maintenance so far... And I don't know if I'm done yet or not. Ugh.

    I swear every time I drink alcohol I end up waking up with acne. WHAT IS THIS?! I don't think I can chalk this up to different food choices since I've been eating more or less of the same things as I usually do, so I'm blaming it on the alcohol. :(

    Can anyone else back me up? Do you have the same problem?

    I just quick added calories for the cupcake and the (smallish) piece of cheesecake I just ate (which were both amazing, been wanting to check those two new shops for a while). I'm already 200 over maintenance and that doesn't even account for that 8 course dinner (in 6 hours. I'll definitely be hungry for it too). It actually feels nice to have a real cheat day, not just a 'my hormones are making me so HANGRY' day. I've killed all my cravings too, so the next few weeks should be easier. Hopefully.

    Ok confession - I couldn't find this thread for a minute. The only reason I did is because I got that pop up saying that someone posted here... what's going on? I got worried it was gone or something.

    Well alcohol depresses your immune system which controls acne causing bacteria

    Stress causes acne, people drink to relieve stress

    Alcohol damages the liver, the liver is the organ best for maintaining clear skin

    I read these on a trash website so take them for granted! and buy their products lol

    Confession: My shoulders are sore, and I blame @BZAH10 and @ythannah. I mean that in the nicest way possible. :)

    Awesome! This makes me unreasonably happy. I guess this is the first time in a long time I feel like I've actually helped someone else.

    I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.

    I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.

    And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.

    Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.

    Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.

    :D That was funny!

    LOL! I have been extremely stressed lately... exams are coming up, so who knows? Maybe that's actually why and I should consume all the alcohol. :P Or maybe I let my pillow case get by without being washed for too long.

    My confession for the day: Thursday is the only night of the week where I don't have to be somewhere, and last night I wasted it watching....


    Alex Cross


    That movie is freakin' terrible! I rarely sit down and watch a movie and I was hugely disappointed with this one. The acting was terrible, the writing was so stilted. I am usually not very judgemental at movies, but blech! Other super terrible movies (I think we've done this once before, but oh well): The Truman Show, The Village, Sex Tape - didn't finish that one, too stupid.

    Alex Cross was horrible....I wanted that two hours of my life back

    I was gonna watch Sex Tape though......

    LOL. I almost spit out of my coffee. But I thought the exact same thing when I saw the thread title.

    Thanks! I'm already at 1000 calories and it's 7.30am. And I have dinner logged at 1800, and that's only if I have a bit of everything. Going to be one of those days. My confession - despite that I'm still considering getting cake for lunch.

    Happy Birthday :#

    I love how we've all been worried about this thread today! I don't know what the issue is, but I bookmarked it so that I can access it quickly from the main page.

    Also, sure hope you give us a course-by-course review of your birthday dinner tomorrow!

    Confession: I saw a lady running at the gym today with no bra on, just a camisole. Though she wasn't big-boobed, I still couldn't help but think how uncomfortable I would feel doing that!

    I could never. Someone would get hurt.

    I say things wrong, repeatedly , although phonetically correct all the time. Quesadilla, i pronounce those L's. Salmon, I pronounce that L just to get people to say it wrong in front of wait staff who then correct them.

    Also, I do the best worst impressions ever.

    I had a friend who made fun of me for saying tortilla with the Ls so I started saying everything like that. I told her those Ls didn't want to be ignored anymore

    I have a thing about what does and does not touch my face and I can tell you that very little actually touches it. I like my skin to be as clean as possible. I wash my pillowcases every week with my regular laundry.

    Also, I hoard food. I can't have just one pack, box, tea, etc of something I like, I have to have 10 stored away in case I never see it again in stores. But I went through liking something a lot many times and having it discontinued, so that may be why I do that. I've been scarred by the food people.

    i totally do this too. all of my cupboards and freezer are packed to the max. mine is more of, "this is on sale, plus i have coupons, so it's only 75 cents! i must buy 10!!!"

    I also do this for both those reasons each of you posted.....I have a walk in pantry with several shelving units that my friends call "The Store"

    I have been told in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse they are coming to my house as we can all be well fed and clean for about a year......

    Happy birthday, Francl27!

    My confession: this thread fell to page 2 and I panicked that it had been deleted for some reason.

    I just found this on page three and had the exact same feeling lol

    So I never actually posted a confession, though I've replied to some posts.

    Friday the 17th is a holiday where I work, so the office is closed. I work in a CPA office and it's crunch time and here I am on MFP. Anyway, that's not even my confession. We get the Friday after tax season is over off work. Usually either my kids or my husband happen to have the day off too. This year - kids will be at school, hubby will be at work. Secretly I'm thrilled to have the whole day to myself. I can't tell you the last time I've had time to myself that didn't have to be used for errands or cleaning or laundry.

    This is no secret for me! I purposely take days off that no one else had or has and I don't tell them ahead of time, either. I work hard for my days off, so they belong to ME! I volunteer to work extra during the Thanksgiving / Christmas holiday period so that others can take time off and then I take a 4-day weekend both in Jan. and Feb. every year. It's great!

    I feel a little guilty that I DON'T wish I could spend time with the family.
    But when the day comes, when I drop the kids off at school, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to wipe that smile off my face. :smile:

    I fell asleep through District 9 last weekend. It was so ridiculous I thought my time was better spent catching up on some ZZzzzz's

    The only reason I sat through the entirety of District 9, I was really hoping to see some of those Shrimp People getting naked, or at least, some sort of Messiah leading an army of intelligent shrimp people to blow up earth.

    What happened in the end? I gave up after he discovered he had a shrimp arm and ended up living in the slums eating cat food.

    I have never heard of this movie, but the first posts about it are making me think wtf can it even be about?? It must just be the strangest movie ever?

    @BZAH10 - So, glad I'm not the only one with ten posts in a row!!! I also did the arm workout last night!

    I know! I don't mean to do it on purpose. I have limited times when I can catch up and then I just respond right away so that I don't forget what I want to say. Looks like I'm a "binge poster". :(

    Exactly why I do it too!

    I always pronounce the L's in quesadilla too, ever since I heard "Knock it off Napolean! Just make yourself a dang quesa-dilla!"
