If eating less is good, then eating a lot less is better, right? I hear we under estimate calories in and over estimate calories out, so I set my goal low and don't trust the calories burned. I am afraid to eat them back. I don't feel tired or weak, in fact I feel better than I have in a long time. Most of the time, I try to eat better because I am eating less. This week was a bit of a bust because my 7 year old gave me a pound of strawberries for Mother's Day and they had to be turned into Strawberry Shortcake. The little darling knows I am trying to watch what I eat and decided a big box of chocolates would make me sad, so he made a HUGE basket of all my favorite fruits. (I'll never be able to eat it all, unless I start a Bing Cherry Binge.)
I tell myself that I will eat more when I feel worse.
Confession 2 - Sometimes I open the freezer door just to stare at the Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Sometimes when I don't have any calories left I'll smell food haha.
Still not as bad as the guy I knew that would sprinkle salt packets into his mouth. >_<
Yeah that's a bit gross.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »Confession: I cannot stand slower than time pedestrians crossing the street.

LOLOL. Perfect.
I also can't stand the people who walk slow in a grocery store with the exception of the elderly or people who have a medical condition. Also it grinds my gears when people take up the whole aisle with their shopping cart or decide to have a family/friend reunion in the most annoying places.0 -
My daughter is getting her braces off today. She's super excited about that...I'm just happy I only have to work a half day!
Which just so happens to end in 30 minutes. Whoo Hoo!!! 0 -
Speaking of grocery stores, I don't understand how people that don't need those electric scooters can just drive them. I used one when I still had to be in a wheelchair just to see what it was like and I was nervous the entire time! It's not fun to drive, lol.0

I had my first "way out of my calorie goal binge" last night. Other than the slight hangover, I have no regrets about it. I feel like I should feel guilty, but I feel like I really needed that.0

Oh, kiddo's birthday party is next Saturday, (all the foods will be eaten that day) and we're heading to the beach that Sunday for her birthday trip. I'm not sure if I'm ready to venture out swimsuit shopping, even though I need a new one....
I am going to the Bahamas in less than 3 weeks and must find a swimsuit (I went from a size 22W last summer to now a 12/14) so last years suit is not an option. I have tried on dozens of them and have found none I am really happy with.0 -

Aw that's awesome, I was so pumped when I had my braces off- it was the summer before my freshman year so I couldn't wait! We did the whole before and after picture thing too! Ahhh brings back great memories of being 14! And lucky you get to have a half day! I'm stuck here another 2 hours and 20 mins

That's my problem too. I've been drawn to the "monokini" (I think that's what its called lol) but I don't know if i could pull it off.raelynnsmama52512 wrote: »Just to throw this out there, I've actually dropped 2 pant sizes!

This will be the summer before her 8th grade year. I plan on doing a little mini photo shoot kind of thing with her. She loves taking selfies anyway so I'm sure she won't mind. I'm excited to see what all my hard earned money paid for. She's already planning on having fruit snacks and gummy bears. Probably before we even get home.
Oh, and I'm SUPER excited about my half day even though I've had to take short lunches all week to make up for it. It's TOTALLY worth it!

Yes, congratulations! Find something, even if it isn't a bathing suit, that you feel comfortable and good in - that way you can enjoy the beach!0 -

Is that the one with the sides cut out? I like those too, but I can't ever seem to find them. I bought a swimsuit last weekend and I ended getting a bikini top and high waisted bottoms. Very retro looking. I'm still not 100% comfortable with how I look in a swimsuit, but I'm working on it.

Thanks, I could not pull off that monokini look, too much skin and stuff going on with this rapid weight loss. I like that look on others though. I like the old fashioned super high waisted two piece look too.0 -

I really want to lose this weight by January so one of my coworkers will stop talking about it. The words "you'd be a pretty girl if you'd lose some of that weight" were spoken and they've stuck with me ever since.....
I don't understand. How can a person say something like that? I just don't get it. Do people have no filter at all?0 -

I found some at Walmart relatively inexpensive, but I haven't looked other places yet lol.

HUGE pet peeve of mine, probably because my husband is a major culprit of this. He views grocery shopping as an enjoyable, social event. Um, no. He's gotten angry at me before for not stopping and having in-depth conversations with people we know. Hugs and acknowledgements and "how's your life?" questions all around. I believe it is rude and insensitive to the other shoppers. Needless to say, we no longer shop together.
Oh, he's also one of those people that stops the cart directly in the doorway as you are walking in to use the wipes to clean the handle. Yes, I'm glad he cleans the handle, but PLEASE walk inside and don't hold up everyone behind you!0 -

I was going up for an early promotion 6 months after I had my first son. My boss had to write a package of all the good things I've done and it would be compared to a few others and one would get the early promotion. I had to make sure I didn't get into trouble and I made a good score on my PT test as well.
I ended up not getting it and my boss told me, "It's good you didn't get it, because if people saw you up there receiving it, they might think you couldn't pass a PT test." Just by looking at me.0 -

I bought two (fun) retro bikini's on Ebay last year. They both feature high waists and one has a skirt. They are fun. I have probably seven or eight bikini's (my daughter stole two) and these are sassy and more modest than most. Plus they have amazing support up top. If you message me I'll look up the link and pass it on. They were pretty inexpensive ($30/top and bottom combined) and well made.
edit - these are new, custom made.

Hugs ❤️I am battling a very deep depression at the moment and sneak off to restroom to cry, reapply makeup and put on a happy face and go back to work. No-one at work knows just how low I am because I act so happy. I feel so weak because I can't pull myself out of this. =(
Are you getting any kind of help? It's perfectly ok to ask, I promise!
Yes, please go talk to your doctor and don't "minimize" your days, your coping methods, or how you feel. Please take care of you.

I am finally caught up...for now. I have several confessions to make so bare (just kidding) with me.
1. My step-daughter (the one that lost the baby) and her boyfriend broke up on Mother's Day, so she will be living with us for the time being. The being may be several years because she's wanting to go to college and can't afford to do so living on her own. I have all the emotions about this.
2. My cat that I've had for over 10 years has been missing since last week. We live in kind of a wooded area with coyotes and hoot owls along with other creatures and I'm afraid he became dinner for something. The confession part; I'm not as torn up about his possible demise as I rightly should be. I feel terrible about that but I think it's because of all the other "stuff" I have going on right now.
3. The flight is booked, resort reservations are made, and rental car is reserved for my husband and I's 15 year anniversary trip. We are going to Siesta Key, Florida for 7 days and I am super excited and terrified simultaneously. I have only flown once, when I was 5, have never been to the beach (live in Kansas), am extremely pale (see above) so I'll probably be horribly sunburned, and it will unfortunately be during my TOM, so that's going to be horribly uncomfortable.
4. I have spent the last 3+ hours catching up on this thread as I was terribly behind because of having been so busy last week.
I'm sure there are a lot more, but I really should attempt to do some sort of work today.
Sorry you are having troubles.
The ocean is amazing so try to enjoy yourself. Even if you just sit in the sand and watch the waves, have fun. I hope the flight goes okay. I've only flown once but I really liked it. Make sure to use sunscreen!0 -

I burn very easily, and I found a product that works really well. It will seem odd (it did to me at least) that Scentsy sells sunscreen, but they have one called Layers and it is SPF 50 and I do not burn when I use it. There is nothing more miserable than getting a bad sunburn on the first day of a tropical vacation. I did that in Hawaii once and the rest of the trip I had to stay out of the sun, it was terrible.0 -

I guess some people never got the message that you don't have to speak out loud every thought that pops into your head. Ugh.
I've been running races for a lot of years, and I know for sure that you can not judge somebody's fitness level or ability by looking at them...0 -

I'm not judging, I'm playing Devil's Advocate.
By your logic, I shouldn't be annoyed by people using the R-word because I'm not considered mentally deficient, but I CAN dislike anything being "bastardized" as I am a child born out of wedlock.0 -

The little darling knows I am trying to watch what I eat and decided a big box of chocolates would make me sad, so he made a HUGE basket of all my favorite fruits. (I'll never be able to eat it all, unless I start a Bing Cherry Binge.)
I tell myself that I will eat more when I feel worse.
Confession 2 - Sometimes I open the freezer door just to stare at the Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Sometimes when I don't have any calories left I'll smell food haha.
Still not as bad as the guy I knew that would sprinkle salt packets into his mouth. >_<
Yeah that's a bit gross.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »Confession: I cannot stand slower than time pedestrians crossing the street.

LOLOL. Perfect.
I also can't stand the people who walk slow in a grocery store with the exception of the elderly or people who have a medical condition. Also it grinds my gears when people take up the whole aisle with their shopping cart or decide to have a family/friend reunion in the most annoying places.
HUGE pet peeve of mine, probably because my husband is a major culprit of this. He views grocery shopping as an enjoyable, social event. Um, no. He's gotten angry at me before for not stopping and having in-depth conversations with people we know. Hugs and acknowledgements and "how's your life?" questions all around. I believe it is rude and insensitive to the other shoppers. Needless to say, we no longer shop together.
Oh, he's also one of those people that stops the cart directly in the doorway as you are walking in to use the wipes to clean the handle. Yes, I'm glad he cleans the handle, but PLEASE walk inside and don't hold up everyone behind you!
I had to laugh at this! My husband is the same way! He'll have a 20 minute conversation with someone he just met. I'm the opposite. I will smile if I make eye contact with someone, but stay on your side of the aisle and get off your phone! Grocery shopping is serious business! Pay attention people!

I've been a proper piggy the last 3 days while I've been away with work. But I've really enjoyed it!0

Confession: I get irrationally angry at my husband when his ex does effed up stuff. We are constantly dragging her to court (and I'm the one that makes the $$ to be able to pay the attorney). Today's latest: She didn't pay her portion of a medical bill from their son from last year and now the doctor's office is threatening to take him to collections (even though we paid his portion).0

I bought my favorite frozen waffles yesterday... it has been a while, but I was willing to use up 340 calories for one in the morning. I rechecked the nutrition facts and was shocked to see that they cut the calories by 40%. They apparently removed a lot of fat. And it shows. I was very disappointed that they've ruined my favorite waffles.. even if I saved 100 calories in the process.
