thats tough when its your parents or close friends that just never seem to understand. They then make it out so that you are the bad guy.transparentenigma wrote: »I am allowing other people too much influence over my actions, and not paying enough attention to what I want and as such, my diet/healthy living lifestyle and exercise is suffering.
But you realize it and can put a stop to it! Don't let others make you feel guilty for it, either! You take control of your life for YOU. Putting yourself first and others second is not selfish. You can do it!

I confess that my feet hurt so bad and I was so tired when I got home from work and I still had like 700 calories left over...so I pulled out a bag of chips and counted out servings logging them as I ate and ended up with 300 calories under my goal. Not my proudest moment: "13, 14, 15...*logs 160 calories*...."1, 2, 3...", but still not as bad as I used to be if I'd had a rough day at work. ^_^
haha I do that when I've got a lot left over. I input a bunch of different servings first so I can set my limit, but seriously, the other night I was counting out servings of Dots with every one that went into my mouth.

On a different note, I sort of wish I had Resting *kitten* Face, or Resting Impassive Face, or something. Instead I have Resting Despair Face, which prompts complete strangers to try to cheer me up all the time.
It's weird that after you stop, it's still always there in the back of your mind. I used to in early high school (terrible coping with PTSD stuff) and still, when things get horrible, it pops back into mind. It's weird. Addictions are like that, I suppose, no matter what they are. It definitely is strange to experience it again. Proud of you for stopping and rationalizing it all through!0 -
Confession - Sometimes I pretend I had a bad day so my husband will rub my feet.0

I can't stand other people's dogs. So gross. My coworker bright in her full size great Dane to the office and everyone oohed and awed as he slobbered over everything! The only dog I was somewhat attached to was the one my ex gave me. I had him for about a year and when we broke up, my parents took him in. Then he was adopted by my aunt on a farm where he is now. I don't really miss him. I will always be a cat person.quiksylver296 wrote: »ladybuggnorris wrote: »glutenfreechic wrote: »Great thread everyone! Now that I've caught up to the current posts I can finally post myself. Just getting to this point feels like I've smashed out a huge essay or similar. Like I've done the research required to participate or something.
I confess I cannot stand listening to people eat. It takes me from calm to mad in 10 excruciating seconds.
I confess that I have little interest in, nor affection for animals. Despite quite liking my cat, I glaze over with boredom when i see or hear anything animal related. I fake interest when it is unavoidable. Of course i believe they should all be fed and cared for properly and protected but beyond that, well it's just not very interesting to me.
I confess now that I've admitted to that it may only be a matter of time before someone alludes to this being one of the common traits of a sociopath or psychopath. i guess it's a chance I'll have to take ☺
I also have no interest in animals. I am not saying I don't care about them...if you are abusing them, you deserve the same treatment, but since I am not an animal lover, I feel like it would be irresponsible for me to own one. I am allergic to cats, and though I grew up with dogs (and loved them), I do not like it when my friends' animals touch me. "I don't want you to touch me and I don't want to be your friend. Go slobber on someone who loves you!"
Yes! I walked into a gym Tuesday and a dog came up to me...in the gym! He had that look like he wanted to be petted. I walked around him. People looked at me like I had two heads. I don't like other people's dogs. I am mildly allergic and can break out in hives. (I feed my own dog high-end food which helps with my allergies.)

When we lived in our old condo, my husband suggested that i take my cat for a walk down the hallway to check the mail. 20 min later he pops his head out the door to see we've made it 10 feet. The cat had no concept of "going for a walk" and would take 2 steps. Sit and look around. Lick himself. Go 5 steps in the opposite direction and repeat.

I agree with the thing about addictions always being in the back of your mind. I thought I was "cured" from bulimia and haven't binged and purged in years. However, now that I've started to lose weight again the thoughts have returned. Whenever I mess up and eat something that brings me over calories, the thought comes to the front of my mind. I have not done it yet and I don't intend to, but it's bizarre... I thought I'd never have these feelings again!

I don't get a lot of things when it comes to having a baby, then again, I don't have kids. When I got married, I never had a shower, we had everything we needed. I have no desire for a baby shower when the time comes, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to by me anything. As for the gender reveal parties, IMHO I think they are dumb and if you think about it, the terminology is wrong. Technically, it is a sex reveal as you know what sex the child will be. The gender comes later when the child will identify with either male or female behaviors. When the time comes for me to have a kid, the sex reveal will happen at the hospital in the delivery room.
I also dislike the idea of push gifts. I heard this term about a year ago during a conversation between colleagues. Why should a father to be have to buy an expensive gift for the mother to be. The baby alone is the gift (not a new car or expensive piece of jewelry)

I have never taken any cat I've had for a walk, but it was all too easy to imagine this happening. I admit I just snort laughed my head off and I am still occasionally giggling about this.

This triggered flashbacks in my mind to the 'polar opposite' behavior of a sibling's dog, when said dog was a (new, very young, and very tiny) puppy, and she'd zoom-zoom-zoom! all over the place... and then when taken outside (while still a wee thing, and so new to the world), she did the same kind of skitter-skatter-esque 'running all over the place', and practically 'jump-flying' (as though it was one of the first times (oh, yeah, that's right -- it *was* ;P ) she'd 'discovered' the outdoors (and had perhaps 'missed the memo' that she wasn't a squirrel )... and it was so comically delightful to see this little being go 'buzzing' all around... and she'd zoom over to a tree, and you could 'swear' you'd 'heard' her 'think-say', "you're HERE! you're HERE! you're WONDERFUL! what ARE you?!!!", and then 'voomp!' -- she was 'off to the races', and had bolted to 'anywhere and everywhere' in the yard, seemingly thrilled to be exploring the environment...

I tried this with the first cat I had. She was always trying to get outside so I thought I would take her for a walk. Bought a harness and a leash. I carried her outside and set her on the ground and gently tried to walk. We didn't move. She planted herself and refused to budge. She was totally confused by this leash concept. After a few minutes I picked her back up and carried her back inside never to try again. Harness and leash went in a drawer until I eventually threw them out.0 -

You never tied two cans together with a string to make a "telephone" when you were a kid? That's what I think of when I see his username.
I wasn't parsing his name correctly. I didn't "see" it at first as tin can on a string. Then one day it just hit me and I got it. 0 -
