    So did I - and that way around! I thought I was the only person to have believed that!

    When I'm craving something sweet i eat spoonfuls of jam (jelly for Americans) out of the jar.

    /pedant on. Jam is made from the fruit, jelly is made from juice. Two different things in 'Murica

    I use "Sitting at my desk for work " as cardiovascular calories burned and in 8 hours its 430 calories. Does that count as burned calories?

    ... today I took the train for 45 minutes just to get a burrito.

    yep.

    I can't say I have had a burrito. Not even 100% sure what it is. Like a kebab isn't it?

    Where do you live that you have never had a burrito? I am agog at the thought of a burrito-less life.

    Not like a kebob--more life a gyro/schwarma with a thinner wrap.

    I'm struggling with the thought that there are good burritos in Canada. If it turns out they put gravy on those too I'm going to be so mad.

    Confession: My friend told me that sleeping more helps you break a plateau and I've been trying to get more sleep ever since.

    I had no idea. I like jam the best though!

    More than 20% of my calories today were from Lindt truffles. They were on sale at 50% from Valentine's day. Not even sorry.

    Confession: I'm not Canadian, but I have made gravy from pernil drippings before, and it's really, really good.

    My granddaughter told a friend of hers that they must have burned 200 calories while they were playing yesterday. So my daughter is mad at me because her child "knows about those things already". I feel like I committed a crime.

    But here's the thing...if one of my granddaughters doesn't eat ALL of the food that a parent puts on their plate (the girls are 10 & 9 yrs old), that plate of food keeps reappearing at meal times until the child finally eats it. But the boy, 7, can say "that's gross!" refuse to eat it, and it never comes back for him. He never even gets the threat.

    But I'm the criminal.

    I've had decent burritos in Vancouver, BC. No gravy. Not sure about the rest of Canada!

    There is so much good Asian food in most of the places I've been in Canada that I haven't gone out of my way to search for Mexican.

    As tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, here's a thematic confession. I live in the Chicago area, and it's very traditional to celebrate with paczki, a Polish treat similar to a donut. Something like 500 calories of delicious fried dough, maybe filled with sweet cheese, or custard, or jam, or chocolate... then covered in sugar. Mmmm. In the past, I've been known to eat 4-5 of these bad boys on Fat Tuesday.

    I'm considering only eating paczki tomorrow, so I can stay under my calories. For, you know, tradition.

    Yep, used to work in a town with Polish bakers and haven't had Paczki in the 13 years since I moved to NC. Yesterday I stopped at a store for some milk and they were had a special display of them. I had 2 yesterday and 1 this morning. And hmmm, didn't happen to track on MFP either day....

    I logged my snack tonight as an apple and caramel sauce and then just now realized I have cookies in the cupboard open that I won't be able to eat after Wednesday so I am going to eat those instead.....I am not changing my diary!

    And in 20 years, I bet they'll be wondering why their girls don't call or visit.

    I confess that my confession is somewhat judgmental, so I guess I'll keep it to myself.

    I went on a cruise with my husband last month. I gained ten pounds, he didn't gain an ounce. I was so pissed I told him I had a UTI and couldn't have sex for ten days.

    This is true, I tried Thai green curry for the first time while there and it was great. In my limited experience, I don't recall seeing any Latin@ food/people up there. But I also got food poisoning up there and do not have especially warm feelings toward any Canadian food.

    I am totally enjoying reading these! It's so funny to see the things we do and to know that I am not alone. I haven't done anything recently, but.....I buy the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines cream cheese frosting in the plastic jar......and eat it......by the spoonfuls. If that stuff is in my house its in danger of being eaten by me before it ever makes it onto cakes or cookies. One time, I even hid the jar in my room so no one would know I was eating it, then I wrapped the jar in several bags threw the jar away outside. This thread made me crave it for a minute. >:)

    Sooo happy to know I'm not the only one! I've had a terrible weakness for Betty Crocker frosting for years. When my husband wanted cake he'd buy an extra frosting for me so he could actually get a frosted cake.

    I ate an entire bag a chips last night for dinner (Family size bag of crisps- Lime and Black Pepper Flavour). Not even sorry - they were delicious!

    1. I don't eat cake, will give it to someone or throw it away because I only want the frosting. The cake just gets in my way. And the frosting MUST be chocolate.

    2. My son thought pizza was only the end crust and about an inch of pizza for years because that's all he ever got. I would eat the rest of his piece. I hate the crust. I was a terrible mother.

    3. FYI, he's now 23 & gives still gives me a hard time about it.

    Right after I had my son, a friend of the family commented (drunkenly) that I once looked like a model and now I look like a mom. Not sure if she meant to offend, but I've lost so much weight now that I'm lower than my prepregnancy weight (and I look better because I've been lifting). I've always got that comment in the back of my head, and secretly can't wait until the next event when I see her.

    I know she probably won't say anything at all, but part of me is hoping.
    Oh yeah I had one of those comments before. A few years ago after having my fourth child in five years, a guy friend from church was talking about a "hot" girl and how she looked like me, well me "before the babies." Wonk, wonk.

    I forgot about this one...

    Pre kids I worked full time as a vet tech. My husband, who is a hunter, would constantly go deer hunting on Saturday and after work and was never home. Oh, and every single year he'd get a deer and then have all his cave man friends over to stare at it, take pics of the carcass, and high 5 each other like idiots...Anyhow, one year I brought home some really stinky cat urine from an unneutered male cat and sprinkled it all over his hunting clothes. Let's just say that year he didn't get a deer! o:)

    Love it!!!! My husband's "friend" used to come to our acreage to hunt and get drunk almost every week-end during hunting season. My husband didn't hunt or drink, the guy was just using him for free hunting land. I wish I'd have thought of this!!

    I love to have a cocktail or 4 at night so I log my alcohol before my food.

    Since I went out for a run/walk this afternoon in single digit temps and blowing snow, I decided I would have a tiny salad and HUGE dessert for dinner. It was a layered bar of M&M cookie, Oreos and brownie then I put cherry cordial ice cream on top. Great trade off for the whopping two miles I did. Soooooo good.

    Confession: I am pretty sure that I would throw up if I ate that.

    I used to think I was so so so fat when I was a size 12-14. Like, "no one would ever love you" fat. Now I am a size 20-22 and I look back on my high school years and I wish I had realized that I looked pretty damned great and I'd -love- to be that size today. I'd be so confident. As it is no matter how much my husband says he loves me, I think I'm hideous. I just love horrible food so much...
