    I don't understand Pinterest either. I signed up, pinned some stuff, didn't really know what else to do with that site. I haven't logged back in, in at least a year give or take (?)

    Nor me. I signed up after people were obsessed with it and have never really used it because I just didn't get it.

    Confession.. I binged so badly on the weekend. Ate all nasty things... Chips, chocolate, dougnuts, pizza.. Up until then I'd been doing really well and losing weight at a slow but steady pace. I feel a bit peeved with myself for munching through an extra 3000 calories. Hoping i can be real good this week!

    Just a sip. Can I have a bite? Let me taste it. It is on my finger, I have to lick it off. Someone should finish it. A little one won't hurt.

    It turns out, these tiny bits can really pile up. Yesterday, I finally stopped to add them together and, as near as I can figure, it was 200 calories worth of nothings.

    Jeeze...

    A diet confession...I often will take a bite of something and if it not delicious and truly worth the calories, I will spit it in the trash or a napkin (especially, any candy or dessert!).
    I have never spit anything out, but I have not finished something when it wasn't worth the cals. This is how I judge whether a cheat is worthwhile. Based on the joy it will bring me, I may or may not consider it.

    Confession: I have a sinus headache, which usually kills my desire to eat, and I'm not-so-secretly glad about it.

    I'm one of the unlucky people who never loses her appetite when she's sick, unless it's a stomach bug (and even then...).

    I'm having a bad day. We are going climbing in Brecon at the weekend, as preparation for the Ben Nevis challenge. I need a new coat. My boyfriend has been pulling out of various cupboards a collection of goretex coats. I have very subtly been telling him not to bother, i'll find my own, that i like, that fits properly etc. Last night he made me try on all of these coats. Not one of them fitted around my hips. It was a long exercise in humiliation. His comment was, 'oh you need one the same size as me then'. It didn't help. I went to bed and cried. Yes, i know I'm fat. I don't need to parade that in front of the people I love. I'm beginning to think this whole Ben Nevis idea was ridiculous. A woman my size has no business trying to climb mountains. Apologies for the self pitying rant. Feel very low today

    I totally know how you feel. I hate getting handed lab coats on site visits and knowing there's no way it'll do up and having to get get one that drowns me most places to do up over my hips. My favourite situation is when they apologise that they only have xxl or something and they're too big for everyone.

    You can definitely climb that mountain though. Go out and get a coat you feel comfortable in and you can do it!

    Yeah my hips are frigging massive :( Although 3 inches down on size from last month). The problem is, the high street outdoor shops don't cater to coats in my size (that have to accomodate my gargantuan hips, a wicking top, a mid-layer fleece and a top fleece). Anyway, out of hurt and anger this morning, I've ordered a £200 coat from Berghaus to try, in cherry pink!

    Oh my gosh you so have to climb it! I would love to climb it, but my SO isn't into that kind of thing so you have to climb it for me! And what are you on about "woman my size", you can be the first woman your size to climb it then :wink: Don't let a coat put you off the idea, once you do the challenge you will realise a coat is a coat and it is totally worth getting it in a slightly bigger size. About 8 years ago (and 3 stone lighter) I travelled around Borneo for a month and I climbed Mt. Kinabalu which is 4,095.2m or 13,435.7ft above sea level and I was 13st which is... about 170lbs. It was a struggle but it was damn worth it once you get to the top!

    I am really excited about the climb (it was people here that persuaded me i could do it) and I'm so looking forward to it. My boyfriend has now decided he is going to do it with me (its an overnight climb, in the dark, on behalf of the alzheimer's society). I don't have a problem with having to get a bigger sized coat, i have a problem finding a bigger sized coat, and i have a bigger problem trying on a succession of coats that don't fit and having to say to my partners, nope, too small and generally feeling like crap about myself (my problem, not theirs). Outdoor shops do not cater to 15 stone women who want to climb mountains.

    I will climb it for you Lois :) I'll be posting pics and videos on my justgiving page (which you can get through my profile) so you can experience it yourself ;)

    I wouldn't have said either of my partners would do this either, although my boyfriend used to be in the army, those days are long gone. But after i signed up to climb Ben Nevis, my boyfriend decided he would too, which I think is great for him, because its encouraged him to go to the gym and get fitter. My girlfriend won't do it, says she couldn't, but is coming climbing in Brecon at the weekend, so we've found an activity that we all like to do together, that isn't sitting in front of a screen.

    Yea I completely get that. I despise clothes shopping and I despise changing rooms even more. If I have a good day I'll pick up all the clothes I'm brave enough to try on and then face the corner of the cubical changing until I'm dressed. I cannot bear to look at myself when I get dressed. Even at home I face away from the mirror until I'm done. So many times I've gone clothes shopping and ended in a puddle of tears because nothing fits.

    I'm sure your girlfriend will change her mind after the climb this weekend. It would be good if you did it as a threesome, and it's great you have found something to do. Is it climbing as in wall climbing or climbing as in hiking? If its wall climbing you will have amazing arms!

    Thank you for climbing it for me! I might have to Photoshop myself into a picture of the top! lol

    I have logged on MFP for 1104 days.... but I hardly ever log all my day. It has made me eat correctly and I still stay in/under my cals mostly, but I just hate logging now. Also, I don't log my beers :(

    So basically, I found out at my current job that they're making the most lazy do nothing manager on our property a Director, which means he'll get paid more to do even less.

    I'll also be giving my notice to my current employer today. Things should get real interesting.

    I'm approaching my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventieth post. And as everyone who has been in this thread knows, I like celebrating milestones. so for my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventhieth post, I'll be celebrating "First Times." So send me message, asking what the first time I did something you want to know I did, and I'll make it part of my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventieth post.

    Confession: I am totally using work resources to look for new workout clothes and check this post. Boss is away...time to play.

    LOL, I look for new board games, comic books, video games, star wars news and read this post, while the boss is in. When she's away I stream Hulu and Netflix.

    When my boss is in I tend to have to put out fires...he attracts chaos.

    Confession: I hate Pinterest! It's not organized enough for my OCD brain!

    Me too!! I thought I was the only one! Pinterest FAIL.

    You can count me in that group as well. I don't like how it's organized.

    I just don't get Pintrest at all.

    I've never even been to the site. I've yet to understand why I would want to.

    Admittedly, I barely ever even go to FB and don't have an Instagram account yet.

    Honestly all this Mother's Day talk makes me sad that I never got that kind of relationship with my mom. All those facebook or twitters messages to the 'best mom ever' etc just reminded me that I would just never say that about mine... and I get a bit jealous. I'm also not sure my kids will ever say that about me as lately there's been more 'I hate you's' than anything else.

    They're 7! They don't really say the hate you do they?

    All the time! They started at 4...

    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"

    Flash Back! My mum said that to us! Now I love my mum more than anything. I think after about a month after moving out, my dad rang asking me to come home for the weekend because mum was crying because she has lost her best friend. (I'm the only daughter) I'm tearing up right now just remembering that. :'(

    Awww... I cried when my daughter moved out, but had no husband to let her know to come visit. LOL
    She's coming to stay with us for a couple of weeks in August. :)
    Planning a staycation.

    I like the idea of Pinterest. I have pinned some recipes that I use from time to time. But, when I'm on Facebook on my phone and somebody posts a recipe, I want to "pin" it so I can try it later, but that function doesn't work at all. Useless. And, I don't really like the way it's organized either. I don't understand how people say they can waste "hours" on it.

    I tracked everything yesterday, including weighing out my ice cream, and stayed under calories. I confess I'm pretty pleased with myself for stop the free-fall and getting back on track.

    Better to rant here than to rant to people that actually know him... sometimes you just have to let it out.

    That was my thought, too. I don't rant about him at work or to my family. I love and respect him and don't want people who know him to think less of him. But I still feel guilty. :)

    I only log foods on MFP when I know I will be close to going over my calorie goal. If they fixed their broken barcode scanner I might be inclined to log more.

    I used my barcode scanner yesterday on my iPhone and it worked. Was it broken before?

    This is the only "social media" site I use. I put it in quotes as technically I use it to count calories and track things but I do visit the forums a lot and try to interact socially! I don't have twitter, facebook, instagram, or anything and I love it. I can't handle all that crap especially with people treating them more like diaries than anything anymore.

    Confession: My SO pissed me off to tears on Mother's Day. He got highly intoxicated the night before. I don't think I've ever seen him that drunk. He puked ALL night. No sleep for me. Then he slept in - not me, the MOTHER, on MOTHER'S DAY!!! Then he wouldn't go with us to our trip to Craters of the Moon cuz he was "sick" (hungover). I think he owes me another Mother's Day.

    Tell him you want a "Mother's Day Do Over"!

    Or paybacks on Father's Day...
