any funny stories from weight loss/dieting?

Nuari2016

So often I'm experiencing my dieting plan with slight grimness blended with determination and boredom, which is very unlike the rest of my life - I tend to be a cheerful person overall. Today I had a moment of humor that I thought I'd share instead, to inject more levity into my MFP life. I'd love to read your funny dieting stories, too, if you are comfortable sharing

I haven't been to the supermarket yet this week, and so I started my morning slightly worried about what I could make for breakfast that would a) fill me up, and b) make me enjoy it enough that I wouldn't go AWOL with a naughty food. I suddenly thought with excitement, a slice of Ezekiel bread, a slice of cheddar chucked on top & a few minutes in the toaster oven = faux grilled cheese sandwich! I whipped it together and put my plate on the kitchen table while I went to get a glass of water, mentally patting myself on the back for my creativity. Unfortunately, I came back to discover that one of my cats was thoroughly and with immense enthusiasm LICKING THE CHEESE off my sandwich

Thankfully there were just enough supplies left in the cupboard to re-make my breakfast... which I ate after I banished the culprit from the room.

For the life of me I can't think of a funny story about this journey -- although I know I've had them! Thought I'd post anyway so this fun thread doesn't fall too far down. I know all of you have great tales to tell!

We had a rescue dog named Zoe, she lived until 17. Puppy n new to us. Hubby grilled a very pricey piece of salmon, it was delicious! Had half left, decided to take on a weekend trip. He offered to clean up n I could water the plants on the deck. Came in n saw empty platter, asked why he didn't put in dishwasher? He thought I wrapped the salmon n left platter. Both looked at Zoe n she burped. Gayle Minneapolis

My dog thinks when I get my exercise mat out it means play time lol hes all "why else would you be crawling in the floor" lol a little Chihuahua mix and very hyper.

I also almost killed myself at the gym one night trying to use their pull-up machine for the first (and last) time lol it has this platform for you to put your knees on to help support you but I was too heavy and it didn't really support me so I went straight down and then decided I needed to get off but I wasnt strong enough to pull myself up to the starting position so I had my fiance step on the platform to gold it down while I got off... then I realized that if he let the platform go it would shoot up and clatter.. ao I decided I had to try to hold it down with my arms (my weak arms thay already couldnt help pull me up) so I am on the side of the machine leaning in under this support bar and I tell him to let go.... CRACK! ! I get totally crushed between the platform and the bar! I yell help to my fiance who freaks out but succeeds in getting me out (and the damned platform clatters up anyways) and I felt so stupid. Adter he asked if I was ok and I confirmed that I could indeed breathe without pain (but I was sore for weeks, no bruises though) we laughed.. it was scary then and I will NEVER try it again no matter how strong I may get but I can laugh now lol and thank god no one else was in the gym that night to witness lol but I'm sure the staff gor a laugh if they watch the cameras!

When I do the walk at home DVD. My beagle thinks she should be a part of it so she stands in front of me and every time I kick my feet out she get a tap. This causes her to move away, very slightly. By the end of the DVD she has turned around so many times, she acts dizzy .lol
