    Back in 2009 when I started my weight loss blog (which I'm still writing) I put on 2kg intentionally since I wanted to be my heaviest ever weight.

    Oh, I don't log alcohol calories. Because I hate seeing how in the red they make me, and how much I drank.

    Same.

    I have enough socks to clothe a small nation. I categorize them:
    Trouser socks
    Casual socks
    Exercise socks
    Riding socks (horses)
    Working at the barn socks
    Wearing at home in winter socks
    Mismatched socks in the closet awaiting the rediscovery of their mate stuck to some other random fabric or piece of clothing

    I have to have several hundred pair and 100 singles awaiting their reunion.

    No judgement from me! I don't ride, but I do have:

    Boot socks with cute tops
    Plain boot socks
    Stretchy socks to go under capris when I wear my boots
    Black and white stripey socks to wear with black Toms because it's cute!
    Socks to wear to bed
    Good running socks
    Old running socks
    Woolen socks
    Trouser socks
    All the mismatched socks, put together in the very back of the bottom drawer of my chest of drawers. (Once a month I pull them all out and see if any of them have mated.)

    It's not that I love socks, it's just that the Academy close to my work puts socks that aren't in packages in a big bin in their shoe department, and I like to root through it to see what I'll find for cheap. . .

    It's not a problem until I run out of room!


    I am out of room! And I periodically look at them as well to see if they have mated and strangely the do! Also the teenage trend of wearing mismatched socks has helped. Now if they are the same general size and texture I match them up and wear them. :)

    I call it the 2 out of 3 rule. Colour, texture, shape/size. If they match on 2 of those 3 things, they're a pair as far as I'm concerned :)

    Well, on running socks, if they're the same brand and more or less the same, then I mate them. . .but regular socks. . .I just can't do it. They have to have their right mate. When our GSD was young, I would save up socks that never ever mated and use them to stuff Blue Bear (her favorite stuffed toy from early puppyhood) when Bear lost his stuffing (which was my old socks, LOL), but now she's old and Blue Bear is just an old favorite that mainly lives in the toy box. . .but I still can't toss socks!

    YES! Confirmation!!! Thank you, Ceci. :p

    They also tell you not to have alcohol for 24 hours. They should just say, "If you drink alcohol, it won't take as much to get you drunk." Or so I've heard. :wink:

    Confession - I drank alcohol after giving blood yesterday. No noticeable difference and I was disappointed. :(

    Confession - I liked this thread better when it was a confession thread, and not an "I can eyeball food" thread.

    Quick, quiksylver296 needs measuring spoons! :D;)

    quiksylver has a food scale... ;)

    Love the sock confessions. I'm in that group. I just cleaned out my sock drawer last weekend and was amazed at how many I have. I also have about 30 pairs of pantyhose. I haven't been wearing dresses for years, and now I don't know if anyone even wears pantyhose anymore. So..... I kept them. Moved them to a different drawer though. I might need that space for more socks....

    I have an entire large rubbermaid tub full of mismatched socks that I brought with me when I moved from Texas almost 4 years ago! I just keep adding to it, hoping they will mate!

    The only time I ever wear matching socks is when I first buy the pack. I NEVER wear matching socks. As long as they are the same height and type of material I'm happy.

    YESSSS!!!!! I have a plastic shoebox (okay, it's a tub, not a shoebox) under the bed that is nothing but tights and pantyhose. . .because, well, what if Princess Kate invites me to tea? And sometimes I wear a pair under my tights in Winter. And can't you use them in projects?

    Okay now. . .I think there is definitely room for a support group.

    Hi. I'm Snarling. I can't throw away old socks.

    Okay, I' ve been thinking about the blood in oatmeal thing. I do love bleu steak and make a mean tartare, but have never eaten blood in the raw form.

    But, growing up, I would get all the blood from the packages of beef and fry it up in a pan with just a little salt and pepper and save it back to eat on sandwiches as a meat spread. It's probably a little disgusting, but it was GOOD.

    Unsurprisingly, I will drive 3 hours to get good homemade black sausage. . .

    Confession: You people and your mismatched socks are giving me the shivers. My socks not only have to match one another, but generally somehow correlate to something else I'm wearing (shirt, undergarments, etc), even if they're totally not visible (Like I have ankle boots on under long pants today - no one is seeing my socks).

    Confession: I'm way too lazy to actually log workouts on either Fitbit or MFP, so I just let my step count handle automatic adjustments, and eat over my calories if I feel like I need it.

    I will not workout if I don't have gum or headphones and because of this i have both in my gym locker.

    I have to have gum and chapstick or I'm out.

    Confession: I told my husband not to get me candy for Valentines Day. Not because I don't want to waste calories, but because I'd rather waste them on 5 Guys Burgers and Fries.

    I think we were separated at birth.

    Me too, just a pound.. if that. Haha. :)

    I can't believe I never saw this thread before. Most of these are making LOL because I can relate.. and others, well I'm not judging but I'm a bit surprised!

    Last week my energy was down (not taking in enough protein and calories in general.) So I let myself off the hook all week long. I didn't exercise, and I overate. EVERY DAY!
    Monday I ate 2 brownies and 6 Lindor truffle chocolates... in one sitting.

    When I "binge" it's almost always chocolate, and a bunch of it. :s

    HAAA! This is so me. I'm wearing knee high boots and I specifically chose brown socks to match. Who is seeing them but me? LOL

    Bluetooth headset charged and ready, or I will be upset my whole run while wearing my corded headset. Which is nuts - I don't really notice my corded headset. Much.

    I sort my socks and roll up pairs together when I put my laundry away... but I currently have 4 loads of laundry in a pile that need to be sorted and put away.
    I had a light breakfast this morning so even after my big lunch I still had over 1000 calories left, so I went and finished a box of ice cream (540 calories worth). So now I'm going to have a sad dinner if I want to keep a deficit today...

    After driving all the way to the gym, (30 min drive btw), if I forgot my mp3 or the phone (Pandora) or the earphones, I will drive all the way home to get them and back to the gym to use them. Or I'll skip the whole thing altogether.

    Usually the last one.
    Mostly the last one.

    Only once it wasn't the last one.

    If I'm over by just a few calories at the end of the day, I'll add in more of my exercise to keep the number green.

    I'm also done updating my weight on MFP, because it keeps dropping my calories and I'm too lazy to set it manually.

    I quick add calories to avoid diary entries like "Pringles, one tube."

    AWESOME!! I thought I was the only one who quick added calories like that! ;)

    On New Year's Eve 2011, I decided to stop drinking "for a while."

    4 months in, I said "Let's go for a year."

    After dropping that last stubborn 12 lbs to reach goal, and feeling FANTASTIC every day, I decided to go for 2 years...

    Now it's been over 3 years & I don't miss it. At all!

    I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.

    When I was a kid I liked my chocolate milk lumpy because I liked the taste of the wet powder chunks. Next time mix a little milk (dairy or non-dairy, what ever) with the powder and it's like a powdery chocolate paste. It's good, trust.

    As a kid, I used to not stir my chocolate milk at all so I could eat the paste at the bottom of the glass...sadly, I cannot have this in my house because I would surely eat it by the spoonful! ;)

    I prelogged a 30 min run/walk and ran more than I thought I would, so I had five minutes left when I finished. So I danced for five minutes. If you saw my dancing, you'd know why this is a confession post and probably one that needs judging!
