Gah, sorry. Didn't mean to put the thread on a downer or anything. Lol. I hope I wasn't coming across as a "woe is me" or anything. It's not like that at all. The past is the past, I've learnt and moved on and I've got a great love and appreciation for my mum and my family due to it.
On a funnier confession: I buy these little bags of baby snack treats for my nephew when he comes round. I got him these apple cinnamon biscuit things that I thought he'd like. Last night I got a craving for something sweet but I try to keep anything like that out the house. So I grabbed a bag of these biscuits thinking "What the hell, they're only 70 calories a bag". They're bloody yummy! Long story short, my nephew came round to find four empty cookie bags and a bowl of grapes as his treat. I've reasoned it off as me ensuring he gets his five a day.0 -
Spent the weekend coming to terms with the idea that I might not get under 200 ever again. Down another shirt size, legs still aren't budging. I need to look into getting a DEXA and see how much of what's there I can realistically do anything about.0

The silly the about that thread is that if you were to state you were 120 and losing that way, you get a lot of "you to therapy, you do not have a sustainable goal" responses.
You have a healthier attitude about it than me.
I've never really been neurotic about my weight before (it's how I got fat!), but that thread was part of what drove me over the edge to deciding it was time for a real diet break/maintenance period. Something about the whole "well, not everyone can do it but I'm tougher" thing tends to get under my skin--or has lately--and plays with my frustration at feeling stuck at 125 such that I start thinking "hmm, maybe I should aim for a more aggressive goal, maybe it's perfectly healthy and won't mess with my running and strength goals, blah blah, after all so and so says she can do it and I'm just as tough."
Not sensible, I know, in that just because I could doesn't mean I should, and I know that and have a reason for why I'm doing what I am.
But I get competitive or something, it's messed up.

My mom came over Saturday night and made this simple dinner that I loved as a kid. It's basically steak, potatoes, and spaghetti sauce with bouillon cooked for a few hours until the steak is super soft. I can't eat a large quantity of red meat ever since I got my gallbladder out, but think I ate 10 whole potatoes that night. I had more for lunch on Sunday. Definitely hitting my potassium goals. And going way over on calories.0

When my kids were younger and still ate baby snacks, I discovered that the Garden Tomato flavored Gerber Lil' Crunchies were pretty delicious. My husband was like "are they really eating all of these so fast?". And I was all nonchalant... "yeah, they really love them. Get some more on your way home, ok?"0 -
I've got to get up at 5am tomorrow and I'm away with work for the next 3 days. I know there is no way I'm going to be sticking to my goal. But I figure it's only three days, how much damage can I possibly do??

They're 7! They don't really say the hate you do they?
All the time! They started at 4...
Soap in the mouth! It works!
AHHHH NO SOAP! My parents used to do this to me growing up, so gross!
I used hot sauce. Just a tiny bit on a teaspoon...it kind of backfired though, they all love spicy food now. LOL.0 -
Confession: I have "only" lost about 7 pounds in the last few months, but have seen a very noticeable difference in the way my clothes fit (including being down TWO pants sizes), so something is definitely working. I get so annoyed with not seeing the scale move faster - even though I KNOW that's not the "important" thing - that I end up sabotaging myself, gaining a couple pounds of water weight, and having to take that off before I can lose actual fat again.
Logically, I know I'm doing just fine and should calm the hell down, but unfortunately I'm not a Vulcan, so that accounts for exactly zilch.0 -

Bwahahaha!
I am actually up 10ish pounds (not on purpose) but my clothes fit the same. I'm hoping when I get back on track with food, I'll actually drop a size.0 -

I don't think I ever want another dog again. Mine barks all day long at everything (thankfully we have a pretty quiet street or I can't even imagine) and drives me INSANE. And he'll destroy every tissue or paper or toilet paper roll he can get his paws on. And he hates dogs and might attack them so I don't even dare walking him. I'm so over dogs.
I had the greatest black lab ever. He lived to 15, and he was one of the smartest dogs I've ever known. If he barked, you knew something was up. He was my best buddy. When he died in '07 it absolutely devastated me. I was a wreck.
My confession is, I can't bring myself to get another dog. The reason being, although I've known a few great dogs,
I've known TONS of stupid, aggressive, loud, clumsy, disobedient, destructive, smelly, just plain dumb dogs. And if I got a dumb one, I'd resent the hell out of him.

I'm the same way. Our current dog is smart, mellow and quiet. When she dies, I don't want another cuz I don't want stuck with a stupid, barky, spazzy dog.0 -
I understand this. Our dog is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest dog there is. We have a bunch of dogs in the extended family that come and stay from time to time, and they all annoy me, even though I love them.xMrBunglex wrote: »I don't think I ever want another dog again.

Confession - for some unknown reason I've been getting the Rachel Ray magazine in the mail. Currently literally drooling over the latest issue.0

Confession: I drank an entire bottle of wine last night and forced it to fit my calories by putting half into today.0

No worries. My kids used to say it when they were little too. They grew out of it when they got older. I didn't really hear that from them as teenagers. My response was always. "You don't have to like me, but you have to do as I say"0 -
My daughter's stupid dog attacked a baby bunny in our backyard this morning. I'm SO over that little a-hole monster. If she didn't love him so much, he'd be gone. Mind you, he's a Chihuahua/minpin mix and he's far more vicious than my pit has EVER been.
Years of running has taught me that the dogs that are more likely to bite you are the little annoying yappy dogs. The big dogs usually just want to join me. Lol0 -
Here's my confession: Mother's Day was a bust for me. I actually wound up buying my son a phone yesterday. We didn't make the 4 hr drive to see my mom. And my daughter texted me happy Mother's Day in the afternoon when she realized it wasn't next week. (I suspect my mom reminded her)
Today, I was off work because a contractor was supposed to come and do some work in the family room. He was a no-show so I went to the store and bought and ate all the things. Like that's really hurting anybody besides myself. Ugh.0 -

Every one else's dogs annoy me after a while lol. Everybody has different behaviors they can tolerate that other people can't. My friend has a Beagle and I know I could never handle one. But I also know that my dog, who is "perfect" to me could likely drive other people crazy lol.
Picking a breed that suits your family (a general "your") is important. Knowing what you want/don't want in a dog will help you narrow your choices. (Example: I couldn't personally handle hounds, but Shiba Inus are perfect for me.)
You could also foster dogs for a bit until you find one that you connect with.0 -

My gym partner works later than I do, so I usually have to wait at the gym for 20-25 minutes for her to arrive. Lately we've just been doing lifting workouts, but I asked if she wanted to do some cardio today. She said okay. Secretly I was hoping she'd say no so I could go in early and run by myself. (She would be mad if I'd just gone in early without asking her if she wanted to run too)
My confession is that I'm selfish and I get sick of having to do everything on everyone else's schedules.0 -

I agree with this! I tend to do whatever everyone else wants to do too its easier, but lately I have been doing more just on my own because I am tired of always arranging everything to meet everyone else's schedule.0 -

Yeah, I did too. I don't want 'stuff'. All I ever want (and yes, I have expressed this previously) is something homemade/heartfelt. I loved it when they were little and made macaroni pictures or little photo frames at school. One of my treasured gifts was when my youngest painted a picture of me and the teacher framed them. I still have it on my wall.Italian_Buju wrote: »I am now going to bed irritated like I do nearly every single Mothers Day.
I was upset this year because nobody gave me a card. My husband made me feel like I was being bratty about it because they took me out for a nice lunch and to the bee farm.
At the risk of sounding terrible, I was slightly put out that my in-laws didn't really acknowledge that I was celebrating Mother's Day, too. We went to their house for lunch, got my mil a big box of chocolates, and nada for me. My mil has kind of set a precedent of making a big deal out of stuff, so it was weird to not even get a card from them. Obviously I'm not their mother, but isn't it strange to do it one year and not the next?
That would irritate me as well. I feel like the day is about mothers in general. It's almost like ignoring a shared birthday.
I felt that way about my mom and mil not acknowledging me on mother's day so I just started sending them flowers so I can spend the day doing what I want instead of trying to keep pleasing them.0 -

Truth. It seems while we've all bonded and made new and great friendships, the spirit of the thread is waning.
Confession. I took a 30 day challenge not to weigh myself. After a week of crap eating, I weighed myself to give myself a new new start, hey you jerk, don't do this, look at how fat you got in a week.
At 243.2 lbs this morning, most of which is constipation weight i'm sure, you better friend me now because I'm racing to Onederland and you won't want to miss this ride.
Sorry I don't get it? What is Onderland? Getting into the 100s? I don't 'friend' people normally, but I'll join... If for nothing else to apparently force some confessions? I agree this thread isn't anywhere near as funny as it was in the beginning, but its still been pretty darn interesting and educational! And supportive.
** edited because I forgot myself and cursed. I confess...I curse a lot.0 -

And this is why I never ever want a gym partner. That and I get pretty annoyed when there are two people yacking next to me on the treadmill.0 -

I drank enough prune juice to kill a Klingon but nothing moved. I think I'm going to explode.0

I was never a soda drinker and definitely not a diet soda drinker. I always thought it was gross. A few weeks ago I got a craving for something carbonated so I had a diet soda. Then I had another. Now I'm wanting one every day, for the purpose that it alleviates my hunger and takes my mind off of eating for awhile. I have a hard time breaking habits so I'm a little worried. Nothing wrong with diet soda but I would rather not be drinking it every day and using it to stave off hunger.0

Confession, bought iced oatmeal cookies (the soft and chewy kind *drool*) my kids later asked for a few. I lied and said I couldn't find them and we must've left them at the store. In truth, I ate the whole package while cooking dinner. Not like I meant to, I looked down and thought hmm, a few won't hurt since I'm not eating the dinner I fixed. Went to put them away and surprise, surprise it was empty. 0
