Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I have a (please don't judge me) question about hard boiled eggs.
Do you use a 'hard boiled egg' (say usda or whatever entry) for your hard boiled egg (weighing it of course) or do you just use a raw entry for the eggs you buy? I buy large eggs that say 70 calories per egg, but with the hard boiled listing it's now 78 calories.
I'd just use the raw entry, and if the eggs are a standard size, I think the calories on the carton work fine. At the risk of being judged for being too into measuring, I weigh eggs all the time because when I make omelets it's easy, and at this point I can guess within a couple grams what the eggs will be (my eggs range from 40 to 65 grams, without the shell, and are all over the place because I get them from a farm and they aren't sorted by size). So when I make hard-boiled I log "eggs, raw" and the grams I estimate it to be.
I seriously doubt that hard-boiling makes them more calories, and anyway I can't peel a hard boiled egg without losing some of it!0 -
I also dislike baby showers. Where you all sit there and ohh and ahh over clothes that will just be puked on anyhow.
ps I have no kids, shocker right?
Next time try paying more attention to the politics behind it, you'll have more fun. The baby shower isn't about the baby, so much as it's a competition between grandmothers to see who can outdo the other. Bonus if you have a competitive aunt-to-be or two in the mix. Who spent the most, who got the best reaction to their gift, who didn't show/left early/got there late. If the grandma's don't like each other, or one or both doesn't like the other one's kid, you can play passive-aggressive comment bingo. If there are step-grandma's involved, it may be even more entertaining, especially if the step-grandma is the more responsible or involved than the bio grandma.
Oh, yes, you are so right! I AM the step-grandma and I'm by choice the LEAST involved. The other 2 grandmas are in constant competition. I find it highly amusing. At my step-daugther's baby shower for her 2nd baby I gave her three free professional house-cleaning sessions. Needless to say, I WON that shower! I got the best reaction from that gift and I took a smug satisfaction in it. (big confession there because I'm not normally like that; lots of issues and family dynamics involved)
Baby showers for second babies are a huge pet peeve of mine
I have several friends that have had one, I have never attended a single one

Thanks for the help about eggs/hard boiled eggs. I have secretly been dying to ask this question and only felt comfortable asking on this thread. haha

I'm kind of worried that all the talk about posters in other threads will incur the wrath of the gods and will expose our nice thread to condemnation.0

I am a MONTH behind on this thread but I am determined to read every post! I really need a life--that is my confession! Also, there was so much peanut butter obsession going on...my hubby told me to get him a new jar because he was out. When I put it in the pantry, what did I find? A GIANT unopened jar from Costco. So now I have this giant jar and the big jar I bought--taking up room in my pantry. I don't even eat peanut butter coz it doesn't like me. I'll have enough for a year.0

Sometimes I feel guilty that I don't take my dog with me on my runs, but then I remember how ADD she is. She loves running, but I'm afraid of hurting her... She'll be at full gallop and then stop dead to sniff something. I don't want to jerk on her neck by accident
Ha! My dog now refuses to run with me on the leash because I jerked her neck once too often when she stopped to smell the pee-mail. But we have a trail nearby where dogs can be off leash and she happily runs with me there. Since I got pregnant she stays running right by my heels, almost like she's guarding me. I love that dumb dog.0 -

I won't weigh myself every morning until after I've pooped.
Some days it doesn't happen until much later.
Loving these stories...I have a colostomy, so I typically subtract 5-6 oz. from what my scale says, to allow what's in the pouch...eewww...gross, I know...but, it makes me feel lighter0 -
I got a haircut today, and the stylist asked me if I was a runner (I had mentioned my legs were sore). I have admit, it made me feel kind of emotional. A few months ago, I was seriously out of shape and 25lbs heavier. To think that someone could look at me and not think "stay at home mom, let herself go" was a huge deal to me.
I'm not very touchy-feely, but I wanted to give that lady a hug.0 -
I am sitting here at work, keeping up with this thread and repeatedly talking myself out of things to eat..... mainly because I am not hungry. I have seen several suggestions that I will be making a list of to try out in the near future!0

We've talked about it, but he thinks I'm petty. Yesterday, I asked him where his stuff was, he said in his gym bag at work. Today, I hid the deodorant, when he asked where it was, I said, "It's gone".
I don't think you are being petty. Not long after my BF and I became serious and he started spending weekends with me, he brought his own bathroom stuff and just left it at my house. He likes his own "guy" stuff anyway and wouldn't want to use my "girly" stuff. The only thing he does use is my toothpaste which I understand, why would he use a different tube if I've got one in the cabinet anyway. If it's a matter of money, could you just buy him his own stuff to keep at your house?0 -
I can eat an entire Box of cereal so I can't have cereal in the house! Not proud of that at all, self control where are u?0

I had to give up peanut butter once I realized I couldn't stick to 1-2 tbsp. I fell off the wagon 3 weeks ago and I've gained 20 lbs. I don't exercise at all. (Even lost 80lbs in 8 months without it.)0

Does anyone notice that it's like the same 3 or 4 people who blow up these threads? And get all nasty and judgmental? They seem to follow each other around.
I hope they never find their way to this thread.
I didn't read that thread, but I often see a group going thread to thread with their snarky 'expert' replies. There is one dude who is a total tool.
Yep he is the worst. I am pretty sure I know who you mean. I am surprised they let him continue.
If you say something he doesn't like and don't come back to the thread, he will hunt you down on other threads and chastise you for not returning.
Not cool.
Not exactly sure whom you are referring to, but whoever it is seriously needs to get a life! Who has time for that?!0 -

I hope I'm not the only one who deals with this, but I've gotten more uncomfortable with my body since losing weight. I'm losing from my boobs the most, so my shape has changed and I'm disproportionate and it feels so weird. Like, I'm losing weight, isn't that meant to boost my self-image? It's tiring, to say the least.0

Feel like I have to defend myself here, and I don't even know why. I had a shower for my second, my kids are almost six years apart first one is a boy and the second is a girl. I had given most of our baby stuff away to friends, and I needed supplies. My friends offered and I wasn't going to say no.0 -

I only attended my step-daughter's baby showers. Not her bridal shower nor any other shower of any kind. I do not attend them. For anyone. I do always send a gift. But otherwise I have no patience for these things. For those that enjoy them? Great! Please feel free to take my place.0 -
