We've got friends over for lunch tomorrow ...it is a rule in my house that we always offer 3 puddings ...
Can I please please please be invited over for lunch?
And is it a choice of one of the three puddings, or may I have all three?
(Yes, I have a sweet tooth. I've been known to eat second helpings of dessert on many occasions. )

I have a bike but I haven't ridden one since I was a kid and I am scared that I forgot how (I know, I know). I don't want to look like a damn fool falling off it. I have had it for years. I even lent it to a relative for a couple of years.
You'll be fine, you will remember. Just when you start back, don't be a dummy like me and decide that your dog walking time will fit in with bike time. My 105 lb German Shepherd saw a cat, I saw road rash. Shook it off like it didn't hurt and gimped on home so I could go snivel about it in private.
There's a confession, when my dog wiped me out on my bike, I did try it again, and he made me flip it again. I don't ride a bike anymore.

I had a cheeseburger and fries for lunch, so I skipped dinner to make up for it. I was starving by this morning...cheeseburger was worth it.0 -

My confession is that I freaking LOVE exercise and get really bitchy/angry when I am injured or otherwise unable to move.
I also get really good endorphin highs even though I don't run much.
My sister was an Olympic-level distance runner and she was impossible to be around when she could not run. I have never been on that level as an athlete (different body type) but I am exactly the same way--it just isn't as obvious to others in my case.
so how do I go from absolute hate and loathing to feeling like you?
I was you 6 months ago. I hated exercise and now I have to have it, and get upset when I don't get at least 3 workouts in a week. It started with starting, really. I went to a fitness camp and got kickstarted on nutrition and just moving, I started making myself go for a mile walk at least 3 times a week and was meeting with a trainer once a week for strength training. I can now run 4 miles 3 days a week, and do strength training for 1 hour 3 days a week. It has been cold too much lately and I have missed some runs so I have been cranky a lot.
I am in the middle of changing from loving being lazy to loving being active. After I make myself work out I make a point to notice what feels good: I feel less achy, more energy, proud of myself, happy and relaxed, can eat more now, etc., etc. Then when I should work out but am not feeling it I remind myself of those things "that headache you have? You can fix it without meds! And be in a better mood! And get more snacks..." I think it's working. It's a process tho lol. Hence my confession - after 3 days in a row 13 hour shifts last weekend (plus an hour commute each way) on my first day off I was SUPER LAZY! Kept my pj's on all day and only made like 285 steps! Huuuge nap in the middle of the day too! And I loved every minute of it!1 -

I do this type of stuff on the weekends..I like to splurge on fast food nachos from time to time0 -
I use my stress to binge eat. Today I ate half a bag of peppermint patti mini's.0

I will try to use ANY excuse to NOT workout.... including the classic "I broke a nail".0

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad to hear you only hurt your pride.0 -
SOmetimes when I work out, I'll just stop and let the heart rate monitor run out like a clock at a basketball game and count those towards my calories at the end of the day.
Lets see what else.....
I have only ever started a diet on a Monday cause come on... who ever really starts their diets any other day of the week?
I sometimes binge eat and then make myself workout when I have that sickish feeling so that I can REMEMBER IT, should I ever do so again in a very "Look at you... look at your choices" kind of way.
I have every Zumba workout set known to man and dont use them.
and lastly, I literally get ANXIOUS if I dont get a second serving of something be it dinner, a snack, at a party, etc. I feel like Im missing out on something.0 -

Yesterday my work bought delicious pizza for a meeting we were having. I was able to not eat any pizza but it stressed me out so badly that I got super flushed and ended up with a rash on my chest.0

Gotta admit I would not pitch a fit.
I would file for divorce.
(ETA: I love "tried to tell me".)0 -

Thanks for starting this! I love raw hot chocolate powder. I started MFP monday and was doing well and today ate (4) homemade white chocolate chip cookies someone brought in. Why can't I say NO? First thought give up! Now I need to get back on track.0

Glad you're ignoring that first thought! Log it and move on. You will make better choices tonight/tomorrow.0 -
I feel guilty after eating anything for 2 or 3 hours afterwards, no matter how light... Pretty consuming when it's all you think about all day1

Sorry for your stress, but you conquered the craving! The rash on your chest is temporary, whereas over-eating pizza can have long term effects. Good job! (not saying pizza is bad; just noting the personal victory by choosing not to eat the pizza instead of letting it choose you)0 -
