On top of that I just want to be confident in myself and feel comfortable in my own skin.
Nope! Whatever motivates you!

Need to start seriously looking for another job, but every time I do the task is so daunting and don't feel like I'm qualified for any of the positions posted. Really depressing!
Oh, do I ever feel you on this. I am passively looking at this point. I'm clearly too busy to go all in right now, but I keep tabs on the big career sites, and some of the companies I'd prefer to work for just in case something good pops up.

Is it weird that I try to save earthworms trapped on the pavement of the green way I use? Fortunately only one person has seen me since its quiet out here.
I do this. Also kept saving them when we were digging up various parts of our garden. I put them in my veggie patch so I can pretend I'm doing it for my own benefit, when in fact I just can't stand to see those poor little worms squished or dried up!0 -
This is more advice than a confession: Don't cry in your Goggles when you go swimming, tears sting a lot when they go back into your eyes.
Why were you crying I hear you ask? I weighed myself this morning. I weigh exactly the same amount as I weighed back in February. I'm beginning to think this is all a big waste of my time. I work out 6 hours a week and eat a 890 calorie deficit a day. I don't know what else to do...
You're eating more than you think and overestimating your exercise calories, probably. Maybe make a new thread and open your diary and people can help... Also, you don't have to eat breakfast if you're not hungry... It's a myth that it kick starts your metabolism.
Surely I can't be eating 890 calories more without realising though?
I wear a Misfit (bit like a fitbit, but you can wear it swimming) and just go by that for the day. The only thing I put into MFP is my weight lifting because I like to see the progress, it doesn't add calories on.
I do normally eat breakfast because I am normally hungry enough to eat it (particularly after a 45min swim). I know that your metabolism is to do with chemicals in your body that is not easily adjusted, and if it is low, it is considered a serious health problem, so I know the whole "kick start" thing a BS all around.
And nothing can convince me to start a "I can't lose weight" thread, that's digital suicide. lol I'm a massive softy so all comments would probably put me off coming back to the forum.
This has really been a struggle for you. IMO, you should talk to a dietitian.0 -
Confession: I stopped at Wawa on my way into work before dawn to grab breakfast and it was so early that they didn't have hashbrowns ready yet. I'm pretty sure it made me way more sad than it should have.0

Thank you for your egg answers.
My husband thinks it's weird that I eat about a dozen eggs a week. I thought that was pretty normal (and healthy!). They're small eggs too. Yesterday I had 2 eggs for breakfast, then my supper that evening also involved 2 eggs, and he told me off (jokingly - kinda) for having 4 eggs in one day. Made me very pissy since I hadn't had any eggs for 2 or 3 days running up to it. Plus I'm feeling a bit nauseous and if eggs are what cures it, then eggs are what I'm having. It's got to be an improvement on crisps, which is what I really want.
He doesn't eat any eggs at all, so I'm not sure he can have an opinion on these things!0 -

Yeah that sounds about the same as me.Verablackrabbit wrote: »My Husband and I ordered pizza after only the 2nd week of our diet and I nearly ate the whole thincrust pizza by myself.
The next day there was leftovers, so to keep myself from eating it, I literally opened my back door and tossed it out into the compost.
Not to brag.. But we're doing way better now, and only 5wks of logs I've lost 13lbs.
And I'm back on my veggies only rabbit food diet.
I still love veggie pizza and when I reach my goals it's going to be my first cheat food. Maybe homemade though.
Later today I am making a cauliflower crust pizza. Look it up. It is not like a real pizza but it is guilt free.
Tried the cauliflower pizza and the only good thing about it was the stuff I put on top. Hope you have better luck!!0 -

When I've gone in for a soft, fluffy biscuit and all that's there are hard azz bagels or greasy croissants I leave mad. >_<0 -
I went to the gym (finally) yesterday but then I ate some chicken wild rice soup and I have no idea how many calories it was.0

PM me if you want more of my experience about this. PT is probably free though the state or your school district and may be wonderful. I put off a few things with my son that once I got started with them discovered they really helped in ways I had not imagined. He enjoyed it too. That said... Way to go little boy. You've got a good mommy who loves you.xLoveLikeWinterx wrote: »So I have a scale victory and a NSV for today.

My NSV- my almost-9-month old finally sat up by himself for a few minutes last night. The pediatrician was starting to mention physical therapy for him and we were getting nervous, but now he’s starting to sit on his own (yay! So proud of him!)
Congrats on your 10 pound loss.

I also never order ribs. I hate getting my hands dirty, even if it's because of delicious ribs.
I've never been a fan of spaghetti. I mean it's ok but def not something I would ever order when dining out. Maybe I haven't had GOOD spaghetti. But then again, I am not a saucy guy so I tend to like more noodle than sauce. And a noodle is just a noodle, correct?
I crush ribs without second thought. I do however go through a TON of wet naps cuz I hate that sticky feeling on my hands and face.
What??? Pretty sure your profile pic says otherwise! Haha. Those scrawny arms in the picture make me laugh every time.
LMAO touché... I am also not a fan of mayo. Stupid skinny arm child proof tops (They ARE child proof, right?)
Aren't all jars?? I used to have this small rubber gripper thing that I used constantly to open jars. It mysteriously disappeared from my kitchen. I didn't lose it. Husband is retired and spends way more time in the kitchen than I do, so naturally I blamed him. I throw a new temper tantrum now every time I cannot open a jar and my gripper is no where to be found. Never can remember to buy another one at the store! Simple solution, but temper tantrums are much more fun.
I have an old bottle opener. If I can get the opener part under the lid just enough to force some air into the jar, "POP", easy peasy and no risk of breaking the glass.0 -

Thanks! My husband and mom think I'm paranoid but I think he's a bit behind in things physically. Mentally he's sharp as a tack, ahead in verbal skills, he met all his markers for eye movement, smiling, etc. all really early.
Anything physical, though, and he's just not there. He rolled over at 7 months- he should've done it at 4. Just now started sitting up, 2-3 months late. His weight is 12th %ile and height is 14th %ile, so he's a tiny thing, and he was 3 weeks early. I would be totally ok with him seeing a PT, honestly, if it would help. I Googled exercises and I do them with him at night- I have no idea if it helps, but I'll try pretty much anything.

@JPW1990 I know it isn't rare. Have many a friends who upon getting divorced suddenly find themselves in the company of much younger company. I shake my head as a older guy, but honestly there is a LOT of draw to it. Mostly it can capture that feeling of fleeting youth. Ya know, Jerry Lee Lewis "Middle Aged Crazy, trying to prove he still can...".
I am pretty grounded, but who knows. Was just thinking out loud. No plans for divorce or younger women at this point.
honestly, this is why at 34 i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be alone.
totally not judging you (after my parents divorced my dad spent years dating younger gals and then five years ago married a girl that is ONE year older than ME. i judge him
)
anytime i go out i can't help but feel like i don't belong. there are young, stunning girls EVERYwhere, i can't imagine anyone settling for my older, pudgy butt. plus i'm also pretty sarcastic and b*tchy.
but seeing how i'm the reason my current relationship tanked, i really don't have anyone else to blame.
it's still kinda disappointing though.
I would too!
Don't give up on finding someone, I'm only 29 and sometimes it's hard since most gals my age are married or in committed relationships but most the time I'm happy as I have the rest of my life to be with someone may as well enjoy my "singleness" now. You'll find someone!! You are very pretty!
Agree that you are very pretty, plus you're pretty funny going off your additions to this thread and you will meet someone. I met my husband when I was 35 and got married at 37. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me. I used to tell myself I was "fundamentally unloveable". Everyone else said it would happen for me, they were right and I was wrong.
I must be an anomaly. I was reading through the past few days posts and wondering how people can only come up with a couple of things positive to say about themselves. And, why would anybody think that because they don't have somebody that there is something wrong with them? I never really thought I had super high self esteem, but I've always known my worth.
I am speaking for myself, but... you look around and all you see is "happy" couples and people dating, and there... is... nothing... going on with you. And I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I see some people who are just awful human beings and they are with someone. And then it's like "how come they can find someone, and I can't?" So you start to think there is something wrong with yourself and you must be completely unattractive.
I used to feel that way. And I am going to completely honest here. I am not a pretty woman. I am ok. When I am thin I have a great body. Think Marilyn Monroe at her skinniest without the breasts (A cup all the way). But women not as attractive as me ( which takes a lot as I am not pretty), heavier than me, no where near as smart as me, or as accomplished get guys. But somewhere along the way I realized I am ok. I still get down when I gain weight. Hate I am not pretty. That I am the least attractive female in my family. But I am pretty amazing. And if others don't realize it it's their loss. I am not going to settle. And I am a lot older than you. I hope you find the love of your life. I still hope I do. But if I don't it's ok. I am still a pretty amazing person. I don't need a guy to prove that to me. And I never will.
LOVE THIS! Except, every woman is pretty.
I never had a problem getting dates or anything like that, but there came a time in my life when I decided that I didn't want my kids to see me going out with so many different men. I went for about 5 years without dating at all and only met my current husband after both kids were out of high school. There's somebody out there, and he'll be worth the wait.0 -

Please help me settle a debate.
What is a normal number of eggs for one person to consumer in a week? Let's imagine this person eats meat, but not necessarily every day, and not big portions of it. This person happily consume plenty of wholegrains, fruit and veg, dairy (and too much sugar but never mind that).
So normal number of eggs in a week?
I'd ask in the normal forums, but I don't want my face ripped off by the 'eat all the protein carbs are evil' mob. (Not having a dig at you low-carbers, just at the way some people harp on about it!)
A seven day week (versus a five day work week)? I don't know, fourteen?0 -

DUMP HIM!! Imagine being married and the same scenario. I can count on one hand sex in last five years, it's going on two years now. It doesn't get better, only worse.
and to mr bunglex above - you look great, congrats! the hard work paid off
Please, take your own advice. You don't have to stay married to that.0 -
Hi All! I'm around, but there are so many new posts and I don't have time to respond. I have read them all though!

Not a judgement but why didn't you just make the hot chocolate? Not sweet enough?
Good question! I think I just wanted a quick fix? I don't even know, in hindsight.
This made me laugh! I've eaten baking chocolate before in a pinch. You know what - good for you for not keeping anything sweet in the house, though.0
