    I confess I've been suffering some serious vanity issues this morning, worrying about how I'll look once the rest of this weight comes off.

    Ahh but imagine how you'll feel!!

    @FeraFilia I think @MrStabbems is imagining how you will feel ;):D

    hey! @lstrat115 I only care about how ppl feel on the inside!

    ...wait. Dammit.

    I confess that I really am tempted to skip the gym tonight because I have the house to myself all evening and just want to make a dinner (that I like) and have a glass of wine and relax.

    Why not both?:):)

    I confess that I still basically have no idea what I'm doing when I go to the gym

    I confess I wish I weren't such a cry baby. I've cried way too much, even at the stupidist things. I read something on here today that made me ball. (Or is it bawl?)

    I confess I'm so demotivated by my job that it will get me into trouble for missing deadlines. I worked so hard last year I burnt out. My workload and stress reflected poorly on my manager so I then got a poor performance review from her. This year I just can't bring myself to give a crap about my job. My main focus has been on health and wellbeing which is working out well but being motivated at work, not so much.

    It's "bawl".... but I understand. I'm overly emotional. I cry often over the smallest things as a stress relief. There's nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, it's far better to be an openly emotional person than someone that hides that built in human trait. You feel whatever you want to feel Lady :)

    I seem to tear up a lot now that I'm working out, eating healthy & losing weight. I guess stuffing my fat *kitten* with donuts & burgers before was like a corking a bottle so that all the BS inside didn't spill out.

    I had quit smoking ciggs for over 3 years now. But, broke down and had one today. I feel guilty for doing so now, but remembered why I quit in the first place. :s

    Part of me is retreating deep into myself (no nasty pun there). I am hiding the part that wants to lash out. I'm numbing the part that wants to feel. I'm pulling away.

    Just hiding the part that wants to lash out from hurting, because it's not right or kind. Numbing the part that wants to feel, so I don't hurt. Pulling back so I keep a tight reign on myself. Just because I hurt doesn't give me the right to hurt others.

    Makes sense and is a mature and responsible outlook and action on your part. Each of us is responsible for our feelings and our response actions taken based on them, or based on what is our best action. You are a descent person

    Just see someone eating pizza in this heat. Wanted to slap them for not understanding the rules of food.

    I confess Relay for Life weekend really irks me, not because I am a monster against cancer research or people getting together having a good time but because Relay For Life CEO's are money grubbing a holes. At least 60% (probably slightly more these days) of the billions made this weekend will go to their salaries. Roughly 15% goes to setting up the relays all over the nation and only leaving only 5-15% going to actual cancer research. I research before donating to any organization. My eyes were opened when I started my Cystic Fibrosis fundraising team years ago. 90% of our efforts go to CF research and that's how it should be. You are better off donating directly to a cancer research hospital, St. Jude's, Make A Wish or find a local cancer chapter where the money benefits an actual local cancer patient.

    *that felt good to say, steps off soapbox*

    I quiet agree. not about relay for life as I don't know what that is but over here we have "cancer research" and all the money goes into lobbying and renting out very expensive private office space and pay for pods and fancy chairs not to mention giving staff nerf guns (hundreds of them) to de-stress..

    Exactly. The "big" chapters are big because they are more of a company than a fundraising campaign. It's a bit of a scam, really. Stay local, stay small. Then your money really counts. Instead of supporting these huge entities and their CEO's.

    Edited to add: not all big fundraising events are scammers, St. Jude, Make A Wish and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation do really put most of your money where they say they are. There's a few more too but just research it before blindly signing a check.

    I confess I already knew a lot of this, but don't have the heart to tell the folks at my church because they spend all year raising money for Relay, and it's been the biggest non-religious event on their calendar for the last 10 years... well before I showed up.

    So I'll go walk with them today. Bake cookies for the overnight walkers. And generally be the cheerleader I'm supposed to be.
