    Confession
    I ruin songs for my teenage daughter. I sign along in a nasal voice when I feel the song is whiny. I ask too many questions about the meaning of the song or point out how sexist (or whatever it may be) the lyrics are of a particular song. I know he is talented but I change the station when I hear one popular Grammy winning singer whining about someone not being faithful. I don't mean to ruin songs for my daughter, it just happens when I point out something she stops liking the song.

    For example the GDFR song that sounds like it has an oboe in it. Then it does not quite sound like and oboe but a sax. Then I go back and forth pondering what musical instrument is making that sound. It drives her nuts. But, we have a lot of similar musical tastes so when she broke her ipod and I gave her mine she didn't complain. :)

    Then I think about songs I like and I could be called hypocritical. My kids knew the lyrics and sang along to Violent Femmes Blister in the Sun (for example, there are others) in early elementary school.

    Confession #2
    In general I don't like violent movies but I find Grosse Point Blank hilarious.

    I would be mad if you talked to me during GDFR! I love that song!!! It always gets me pumped for work. :smiley:

    Just to throw this out there, I've actually dropped 2 pant sizes! I'm now able to COMFORTABLY fit into a 14, when I've been a 16-17 since having my kid....nearly 3 years ago..

    I've been stalking Pinterest looking at work outfits because I want to be able to rock some new ones by January, dammit!

    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....

    Woo Hoo!!!
    Well, thank you! :smile:
    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?

    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.

    Highly inappropriate! So judgmental and stereotypical, right? Love the new profile pic, though!

    Yeah. I liked him and I still like him as a boss, but that had always haunted me. I cried about it afterwards.

    Thank you! I forgot my spoon that day and had to eat my yogurt with a banana. :)

    Speaking of music, I saw a video on Facebook of a mashup between Katy Perry's "California Girls" and Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country" today. Appalling yet slightly interesting, but Katy Perry and A7X together is just sacrilegious! I prefer my metal without the likes of teenybopper beats and Snoop Dogg added lol. :wink:

    I always feel really deflated when I come out of the gym. I really can't shake the feeling that the gym staff are talking about me and its starting to make me really uncomfortable. It is one guy in particular and he was the one I had to do my induction with. I don't know if it is a coincidence but whenever I get going he will walk over to another member of staff, start talking and they will start looking over at me. I was so close to bursting into tears and walking out today. I just can't zone it out. I'm sure it's me being paranoid, but I've never been paranoid about it before. I'm not paranoid when I swim in the same leisure centre or going running in the park. It is really putting me off going.

    I bet he is saying something like "I inducted her into this gym and look how amazing she is doing!"

    That's my thoughts too :smile:

    You should tell them they are making you uncomfortable, and ask them what they have been talking about while glancing your way. Even if they make something up, it will no longer be an elephant in the room and you will either feel better or feel worse and leave.

    I have logged baby food into my calories in the past by guesstimating. I taste my baby girls food to check temperature and just cause I'm usually curious to see if it tastes as horrible as it looks but I never know how many calories are in it so I will quick add 50cals just in case.

    When my son was younger, I would eat his baby food. As a snack. A little jar of fruit is usually about 50 kcal. The fruit is so good!!

    I used to purge when I was younger and I got down to 105 from 180 (I'm 5'8). It's such a struggle to do it the "right way" I still sometimes think about purging even though it's been several years since I became healthy. The time it takes can be really frustrating.

    So....what is it? An oboe or a sax? I can't decide which I think it is. Sometimes it is very oboe-y and other times it is more sax-y. :wink:

    I had myself a cotton candy Blizzard today. :yum:

    With any luck I'll be having one of those within the next couple of days... heading to the US tomorrow.

    Hurray for America! Haha

    Hurray for a greater variety of "junk food" ;) Actually, I'm supposed to be saving money because the house needs reshingling, so it's a good thing I'm looking forward to low-price spending.
    all this talk about DQ, I'm taking a trip to the mall to buy a new board game and DQ is right around the corner from the store I'll be at. I wouldn't DQ to think I didn't like them anymore now would i?

    I may compensate for your absence over the next few days...

    Where are you traveling from?

    Ugh...brownies...want.

    Because of this, I am totally getting a brownie sundae from the ice cream place down the street on Sunday. Haven't had one in forever. It's $5, but it's huge and amazing.

    If it's any consolation, that's keto cheesecake, which means it's only 400 calories for 1/4 of a cake (granted 325 of them are fat)

    I find more often than not when others look at you, it's a good thing. Next time you look at someone or point someone out, take note, I'd be willing to bet it's positive. Yesterday, I found myself looking a girl up and down when I shook her hand because I adored her outfit. I could tell she thought I was thinking something bad and I could kick myself for not just yelling "OMG you look so cute!" but we were walking into a meeting, kinda lost my window. Food for thought. :)

    Same. There are three stores within 10 minutes of my house. When they're on, it's great. When they're not, it makes me sad and disappointed.

    I just went in to work to help clean the place for four hours... which involved me scrubbing and scraping down all of their heavily greased up cooking equipment. It was not fun, though my right arm certainly got a huge workout. To compensate I was going to go downtown and get some bubbletea after I was done. I told my boyfriend I'm making bubbletea my reward for life.

    I DIDN'T GET IT THOUGH, and now I think it's too late :( There's always tomorrow ;)

    I have been busy this week with work and after work activities that I haven't been able to keep up with this thread. Today I had my gall bladder out (currently in the recovery room) and figured now was as good as time as any to get caught up as i am reading posts from monday morning.

    Yesterday was Mother's Day and I ate however much of whatever I wanted to eat. My lovely children made chicken alfredo baked ziti with steamed broccoli and Brazilian cheese puffs. I had two helpings and two slices of hummingbird cake (not in one sitting). All of that, I did not work out, and I did not feel the least bit of remorse.

    I Love Hummingbird cake. I have 2 of their cook books. I make a damn good Grasshopper Pie!

    I have never heard of Hummingbird Cake and never tried Grasshopper pie. I have to make a note to google and try these.

    Confession: I've recently developed a rather disordered way of viewing food. I've reached my goal weight (and am now underweight) and now I'm terrified of eating too much even though I knows I need to do so to fuel all my running.

    Friends and family are very concerned and scared. I'm trying to eat more this week but today thoughts of going on a cut are popping into my head. :confused:

    Not judging, because I think that happens to a lot of people - however, that is scary, and I think a mental health professional could really help you with this. It seems anxiety driven, like you are afraid to get big again. Getting some help could really turn this around for you. <3

    I actually am terrified to get big again. I can barely enjoy food. The logical part of my brain that is telling me that I need to fuel my runs (I have a half marathon this weekend), but the hysterical part of my brain is outshouting it. :anguished:

    It sucks and it's exhausting. I'm so tired of worrying about food and that's all I do. :frowning:

    My God you do look amazing...In your before/after. Just figure out what maintenance is and watch it every day. If you see some gains then you restrict for a day or two and get back. Maintenance is the key, not continuous loss. You sure don't look like you want to lose any more weight.

    Thank you, and logically I don't. I'm trying to eat at maintenance, but I can't get over the habit of leaving a safe deficit at the end of every day. :disappointed:

    I thought I'd be excited to finally be able to eat more than 1200 calories (which I learned after the fact that I probably could have done with losing .5lbs a week, but I found the forums too late) but I'm just afraid.
