Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

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!)
Eggs make my stomach feel like I imagine I'd feel if I ate broken glass. So, normal for me is none. But I do have chickens and a turkey that lay eggs so that when my son wants eggs that they are very healthy eggs. My SO eats all the spare eggs. From what I remember of the responses (and I admit I skim on my phone so I sometimes miss great posts!) the range will be from none to over a dozen eggs a week.

@Italian_Buju I am glad you are still here. I was lurking for pages and pages wanting an update on your fur baby. It might be too much to ask of the universe at this time but I hope he gets better.
After the loss of my dog, I learned that all you can do is just spend as much time as possible with them and let them know how much you love them while they are still around. Work may make it difficult but I know he is feeling your love everyday.
@Susieq_1994 You are not a coward. You are a strong capable woman of the new millennium and if baby steps are what it takes to get better, then baby steps are what it takes.
I have battled with depression before(twice, once medicated and once not) and my sister has terrible anxiety(no medication). My sister will only speak to one therapist and she is kind enough to still see my sister even though she is technically retired. Do whatever works best for you ladies and I will send as many positive vibes as I can your way!

We all love eggs! Family of 4, we go through
5 dozen most weeks. Thank goodness we have chickens!
Confession, I'm starting the C25K on Tuesday and I'm kind of terrified!! Never been a runner, hoping I'll love it, we'll see how it goes I guess! I'm equally excited as terrified at least

Bye bye rental car! Back to walking everywhere in suburbia and being resentful of giant SUVs that splash me and try to cut me off.
I'm not actually upset. It was convenient to have but it also felt really weird.0 -

I can relate to all of this.
I am so sorry. I wish I could help you or at least give you a hug. This mad me cry.
Make sure you talk to someone/get help. I don't want you to have to suffer.
As a teen I actually tried to kill myself (pills). Please don't let yourself get to that point. Please feel free to vent whenever you need to!
I'm sorry for making you cry. My husband is always there for me to talk to, but I have to admit that I'm too cowardly to seek any sort of professional help.
I've wanted to die for a good long time, but I've never been suicidal--just hoping it'll happen by itself, I guess? :-/
Thank you ALL for your responses and for just being here.
I don't have time to read backwards to the original posts (will later) but wanted to echo what I am sure everyone else said which is that you are clearly a wonderful person and you should not feel so sad. Please get some help. I have 2 sisters on antidepressants and a friend. It's a medical condition that can be treated. And you will feel better. (Big hug)0 -

Mom is visiting for a week, and as usual woke me up at 6am by 'going gently down the stairs'. Sigh. I have a massive headache too.
She also brought back cookies and chocolates even though I specifically told her to. I still have a ton of chocolates and finished those cookies from 4 months ago last week (I used to eat the whole thing in 2 days). But she just wants to sabotage me and told me yesterday that she hopes I'm not losing more weight. I wish I could lose more just to spite her but I've been trying for a year and failed... Oh and she brought back 5 brioches that need to be eaten within 10 days too...
Confession, I feel bad for feeling that way and hating when she visits but I can't help it. It stresses me out and we always end up fighting over something. The good thing is that I'm probably going to spend more time at the gym this week just to get out of here.0 -

are you serious ? calling young girls *kitten* and hookers?sexualizing them ...how nice
they can wear whatever they want just like any other girl or women
geezus
Was it the "absolutely" the "no" or the "judgment" that tripped you up?
Amen. And I agree about clothes, heck some things that 10yo girls wear make me shake my head sometimes.
Me too. And I seriously question their parents judgement.
Sometimes I wonder if their parents know how they're dressing. I've heard of kids wearing one outfit leaving home and changing at school.
I would do that in high school. Change in the back of the bus. But I don't remember it being that extreme. I had a catsuit that I would wear under ripped jeans (oh, the 90's!). My mom hated that catsuit. LOL
As well she should have. Really, a catsuit?! I think we all need to see pictures.
I don't think I have any. It was long-sleeved and flowered and zipped up the back. The cloth would show through the rips in the jeans. I thought I was pretty awesome in that. Wish I had the body I had then.
ETA: I feel like I should add this from Wikipedia: A catsuit is a close-fitting one-piece garment that covers the torso and the legs, and frequently the arms.[1] They are usually made from stretchable material, such as lycra, chiffon, spandex.
How did you use the restroom while wearing this thing?! This is why women go to restroom in pairs.
Well, you didn't wait until the last minute, that's for sure!
I'm all about the jumpsuits right now and to pee, you have to undress to the waist and kind of sling it over one arm...let's just say I won't be wearing them to any festivals this year with any kind of port-o-potties because they are exceedingly difficult to keep off the floor.
Also, on the clothing note, I grew up in that part of the 90s where crop tops AND low-rise jeans were in style at the same time, so I'm just relieved that at least the trend now seems to be high-rise bottoms with the crop tops so you only see the upper half of the stomach. Way cuter.
I remember how bad I wanted a pair of low rise Levi's when their "belly button" commercials came out. Remember those?
Definitely! I also had a pair of super-low-rise jeans that had a LACE UP fly instead of a zipper or buttons...klassy klassy klassy. Looking back I cannot believe my mother let me out of the house in them as I think you could see my hipbones above the waistband. I definitely wore those to school though...
I had a pair of pants like that too. LOVED them. Christina Aguilera wore pants in a couple videos that laced up on the hips, and I wanted a pair so bad!
ETA: Although the fashion may be different, I suppose teenage girls are the same lol.
Right? I see them around and I'm mostly just relieved that there aren't visible g-strings like when I was their age. The leggings and crop tops are not nearly as offensive or revealing, thankfully. And I love that lots of very loose, flowy tops and dresses are trendy now. Way better than those painted-on ultra low-rise jeans and tube tops I loved...not to mention the platforms and huge wedge heels. I had a pair of six-inch wedge sandals that laced up my calves too about fifteen years ago...eesh. Ooh, and the huge chunky highlights on the flatironed hair.
I'm not even 30 yet so it's a little early for pearl-clutching but I seriously think teenagers today don't look nearly as, uh, trashy as my high school classmates did.
Oh ya, I forgot about that... I wasn't one to have my underwear hanging out, but there were lots of girls out like that. I guess I can no longer talk about "kids these days" when it comes to fashion choices

I remember girls used to pull their thong up on purpose so it was showing and the Head Teacher called a girls assembly in school to stop it from happening.
Ps. When I'm on this board I find myself constantly questioning if I should Americanize words cos a lot of you are from there. I've thought this about Mum/Mom, sunbeds/tanning beds, Head teacher/Principal, bum/butt, *kitten*/*kitten* and I'm sure there's more...
Jumper always got me. How does that equal sweater? LOL
I have a friend who got very irritated when I told him that every time he mentioned his "jumper," I was picturing him wearing one of these:
Nice.
I have to admit I had some of those jeans with the fold down button fly. I believe they were even acid wash with ankle zippers. I also, I'm sad to admit, had a pair of low rise skintight jeans that had no pockets but did have a huge attached faux belt. I wore these AFTER I had my daughter and I thought I looked hot. I looked ridiculous.
I'm glad I dress more classic and age appropriate now.
I'm 44 and my daughter is 16. We are just about exactly the same size (she's a bit more slender and a bit taller but same clothing and shoe size. We have different coloring and face shapes but people instantly know she's my daughter.) We very often look at each other in the morning and realize that we're matchy matchy. For example a blue knit v neck top, jeans, boots and hair in a ponytail. It makes me laugh and makes her stomp off to change. She's fairly conservative and classic in her dress and dresses up often. My work is often in a lab so jeans are often fine. I tell her that either I have good taste or she has horrible taste in clothes. She wears a summer dress that I bought 22 years ago and looks lovely in it. She took and kept some jeans, riding boots, pumps, and a few dresses. So my question: What is age appropriate and what is ageless?
I am a smaller size right now than I have been since before I had children (they are now 31.29 and 27 years old) I am discovering all kinds of new options in clothing and wonder at times if what I am putting on is age appropriate. Just today I was showing my daughter - the 27 year old some things I bought to wear on vacation next week and she said "Oh wow mom, we can share clothes now - well - after I have this baby anyway" and we both cracked up.0 -

Oh hey thanks for asking....he is actually exactly the same....I am surprised he is still alive to be honest, I feel like he is not eating at all anymore.....he is refusing even treats and his food bowl never seems to go down, but he is still there....I hate going to work now because I am scared every time I come home he is gonna be gone....I am trying to spend as much time with him as possible.....
When I go out other than work, I try and stop home as often as possible and check on him.....I hate being gone 9+ hours at once while working, it is really worrisome. I am so touched that someone asked, lol, I just have had no online time at all this week and it is nice to know that I was not forgotten about.
We have all been thinking about you and your little guy. Glad he still hanging in there.0 -
Now that I finally go caught up on this thing it is confession time: I did something really stupid the other day and injured my foot and have not been able to effectively exercise in 3 days. All I want to do it sit around and eat. I go on vacation on Tuesday and so wanted to lose a little more weight before wearing my new swimsuits in the Bahamas and that is just not happening. I'm a little depressed. On a positive note, my foot is feeling somewhat better today and hopefully will be good by the time we leave on our trip.0

I think age appropriate is a term that can be over limiting. Certainly if your daughter is approving then it is fine. I think all ages can look good in similar clothes. I think all ages can look good in short or long hair. Perhaps quality and fit and cut are more important than an exact style.
Congrats on your good work. I'm sure you are looking great!0 -
