Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))
Replies
-
I'm so tired of the other two adults in my house not being able to clean up after themselves, and I have to wash dishes any time I want to eat/drink/cook anything.
So I'm about to throw away all of our dishes (99% is just Tupperware that we lost the lids for ten years ago) and go get each person:
1 cup
1 saucer
1 bowl
1 plate
1 fork, butterknife, spoon
and each person will have their own color. That way, whenever someone complains about not having and clean dishes, I can point to my stack and say, "Not my problem."
On the same subject, we all have so many clothes that we end up piling them in the hamper because all the drawers and closets are full-but none of us every actually wear more than 2-3 outfits. So im going to goodwill this week.
And if my FREAKING MOTHER IN LAW doesn't learn to CALL before she just shows up, I swear im going to act like I don't know who she is and im calling the cops on some crazy lady who insists she knows me and wont leave my yard. -_-0 -

I got the munchies last night. I had 300 calories left, so I grabbed the peanut butter. I finished off the jar. I logged it as 4 tablespoons, but I'm pretty sure it was more than that!
My husband stocks up on groceries, so there are 3 more jars in the pantry.0 -
My first post on these forums is going to be a truly ridiculous confession...
I've managed to rid my house of pretty much everything I'd be inclined to snack on. I've been very diligent about logging my calories and working out every day. I've been so proud of myself!
Last night, I was craving food - nothing specific, I just wanted to eat SOMETHING, despite knowing I wasn't actually hungry at all.
So my parrot has these little treats that are basically 1.5cm balls of seeds and crushed nuts, called Nutri-Berries... I ate 4 of them before I even realized what I was doing.
I even tried to look up the calorie content online, but I guess no parrot owner has needed that information. I am a ridiculous human.

My good friend has been begging me to try Nutella for a while now. I kept saying "nah". Finally broke down and tried a small spoonful and now I'm hooked. I wish I'd never tried it because now it's like a freaking DRUG for me! I could eat it straight out of the jar. Ugh. Once I'm done with this one, I'll NEVER buy that stuff again!! (God, is it good!)0

Just get one more jar. Then you can stop.

A tip is to put it in the fridge. It'll take a good workout for you to get a pea sized amount out, it may be net zero in calories. Or not.0 -

Kids would either kill, or greatly delay that.
Some people say that's selfish. I figure it's selfish to add more people to an overpopulated planet just because I think I'm supposed to.
People also ask "who's going to take care of you when you're old?"
Well if that's the reason you had kids you are doing it very wrong.
YES! I've loved all the responses to my original post about not having kids, but this one is spot on! I don't see having kids as being necessary. So having them just to have them seems ridiculous. And maybe I'm selfish too. I also like to do my own thing, and spend my money on myself (and my dog )
I'm glad I'm not the only one. In my day to day life I have a small group of friends and family. And everyone around my age that I'm close to has been in a serious relationship for about a decade. So I am always the odd person out at social events.
I really need to try to find single friends so I have someone to hang out with!

I told my grandparents that I do pole dancing, and my granny was so happy she gave me a hug. They then went on to defend my choice to use it as a form of exercise to my older sister. I LOVE my grandparents! They really understand me.0

Confession: I feel bad for all the people eating peanut butter out of the jar without stirring syrup into it first. I can't have peanut butter and syrup in the house at the same time.0

Sorry! It wasn't meant to be a "vs" conversation at all.
I ate about 1000 calories over on Saturday (couple drinks, some chicken nugget things, chocolate). I didn't really care until I realized how many workouts I had cancelled out.
And... I can't remember if I put on deoderant this morning...0 -
If I'm not at 10,000 steps by bedtime, I'll stay awake and dance like a lunatic around my bed until I'm done. Then I collapse.0

My other confession is that occasionally I've had extra cals after midnight and logged them for the next day.
I am guilty of this also!0 -

This is EXACTLY why I haven't tried it, or the cookie butter!

I have no self-control around bread. I allow myself a bagel once per week to keep the violent urges in check.0

Let my just start by saying that I have two children, 4 & 1.5 and I applaud you people who know you don't want kids. Seriously. It's not for everyone. It's okay to be selfish. You know what you want and that is a good thing. After my cousin got married, her husband got a vasectomy (he was like 22) because they knew they never wanted children.
Confession: I'm not a kid person. I really don't like other little kids. Just my own, I love them to death, but could care less about other peoples kids.0 -

Most of it is probably just in my own imagination, but I feel like it's not "acceptable" for me to be 30 and single (with no prospects either). But at the same time for the most part I'm okay with being single and THAT stresses me out because I feel like maybe I should be more actively trying to change that since I am 30 and let's face it, the window to have kids (should I even want them) is getting smaller all the time.
Sooo I stress myself out over how I feel and what society thinks I should be doing because I care what people think about me when I know I shouldn't. *sigh*
(is this too much for a Friday morning? lol)
Awww, don't get down on yourself. I have plenty of girlfriends in the 30-35 bracket that are also single and childless with no prospects at the moment. It's pretty common these days. I'm in a serious relationship and have had a previous marriage, but I'm 34 and no children. I understand what you mean about the pressure and sense of being judged sometimes. I still think though that being single and/or child-free is preferable to rushing something that's not right for you at the moment.
I get judged for being 35, married and childless. People seem to feel the need to query me on why we aren't procreating and then scoff at me because I say we don't want to. "You'll change your mind!" or, when I say I don't really like kids (I mean I don't dislike them, but I'm not someone to coo over a baby) they say "It will be different when they're your own!" - really? You want me to have them in the hopes that I'll like them once they're here?
As for Shiba - I was 30, single and BLISSFULLY happy being single. Like, no plans for any relationship, perfectly content in my singledom, free as a bird, independent... then this dude came along and screwed it all up for me I was NOT looking for a relationship, it came and found me.
Argh, I'm 32 and constantly told I'll change my mind. Me and my boyfriend have been together 11 years, no rush to marry and no desire for kids. Really bugs me getting asked why don't I want them too. I just don't. Never have. Don't go gooey over babies, maybe I'm wired wrong, but I'm just not interested. There's no reason.
I have four kids and they are my life. However, since I was a child, I wanted nothing more than to be a Mom. I have a friend who is 35 and does not want/have kids. Her mother told her she is selfish for not having kids. I, however, think it would be much more selfish to have kids that you don' want. They are a lot of work. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting kids. I have decided that is what makes you the world's greatest Auntie/Uncle! Said friend loves my kids and spoils them rotten and gets all the "kid love" she needs from them.0 -

After that one jar, you 'll be ok as this happen to me in the exact way when I first tried it. To this day, I always have some in my pantry but don't attack it anymore as I tell myself "you know what it tastes like so why go there" and have it in moderation through time. Not easy but do-able......through time.0 -

I confess some MAJOR assumptions were made about a parenting life from some child-free individuals, and that irritates me because we still save, we still buy what we want. We can still have fun while being parents and it makes me sad how some child-free people see us.
I have lost 30 pounds, and though I have a really long way to go, I have really noticed the loss in my butt. My underwear and pants just hang there now. Every time I look at it in the mirror, I am all "Damn, girl!" It's enough to keep me going!

My fitbit is probably 1/3 steps from driving (I'm in a car from 2-3 hours if my 8.5 hour shift). I don't eat calories back unless I'm actually exercising and I'm hungry afterwards.0

Every one and their mother is too classy for velveeta, but I'm not.
Try it with Rotel and a tiny bit of milk and some browned hamburger and homemade tortilla chips if you haven't yet. It's so good. I have been known to eat this in place of "real food" on more than one occasion.

I actually have a mini-crockpot that is only used for Velveeta, Rotel and Jimmy Dean Sausage

I use the charity miles app on my phone, but generally only when I'm out walking for exercise. Out of curiosity, I set it once just to see how much I do when I go out for regular grocery shopping - usually takes 2-3 stores. I was happy to see the number when I was done, until I realized it must have counted the stop and go at stoplights. Either that, or I really did walk around in Aldi, Walmart and Kroger for 3 miles, not likely. I felt kind of bad, but since the whole point is that the miles you walk equate to charity donations, I figured it was for the best.0 -

I only started losing weight last month, but I started karate in October, and my butt is the first place I noticed an improvements on both accounts. Turns out that kicking really works those muscles!0 -

The opposite for me. I've been smoking more to compensate for eating less

Sometimes, I eat in bed and don't even remember. I wake up in the morning wondering why I'm not hungry, and then, I'm sad when I remember.

Not sure about the total mileage in those three stores, but I know when I do my normal rotation through Target, it's about 1 mile.0 -
I have regained most of the weight I lost in the first half of last year. Since then I have been working crazy hours and spent 75+% of my time in hotels. I have constantly in that time been swearing I'll get back on track and not let being away be a reason to ruin my progress. With the end in sight I have decided I'll just get back on track once I'm home and have some time off in about a month.
I think I've made better food choices since....0 -

Ditto. Nothing wrong with not wanting kids! And not only I don't like other little kids, I cannot relate to them at all. Heck I don't even have the patience to play with mine sometimes (but I have twins thankfully so I don't often have to), let alone someone else's. I'm guessing it's because I was never around little kids as I was growing up though... Everyone in my family is pretty much the same way.0
