HONESTY BOX!!

gailashton

Well said and truly honest! Thank you for sharing and being up front!

I LOVE CHEETOS! And being naked.

If honesty is the case here, I must say that I just ate someones cookie at work and blamed it on the housekeeper. And I don't feel bad about it. Cause I'm sure they're stealing my foodies.

I cannot believe you ate someone's cookie on the job. I always wanted to have sex at work!!

I did that once, while I was working graveyard shift at an answering service. Had to wear the headset the entire time - he thought that was so sexy! :blushing:

1. I will never have a thigh gap, and I am OK with that, but I don't find girls who naturally have it disgusting. I do envy their ability to wear skirts and not get "thigh burn."

2. I have plenty of men on my list who are not pervs, and have actually formed good friendships with. Women can be pervs too, but no one cares when we do it.

3. Whether you think you can do it, or you think you can't do it --- you're right.

4. I love bacon, rock climbing, traveling, and Pembroke Welsh Corgis. I will get a puppy one day and name it Dr. Zoidberg.

5. I have had stretch marks since I was 11 years old, and I will always have them. I've always felt like it's a little unfair -- I've never been extremely overweight and I've never had children but I am stretch marked all over my hips and boobs like nobody's business.

6. It bothers me when people choose to identify themselves based solely on their status as a parent or spouse, or both.

I can not stick to clean eating during this pregnancy (usually it is not a problem and I love to clean eat)

I love to bake and eat too much of the cookie dough, could I die from eating raw eggs? (and I hate cookies)

I have had sex at work when I was married

I had a thigh gap until I quit deadlifting and running during this pregnancy

I approve of PDAs

I hate things described as food but really are just chemical products:ie chicken nuggets, corn dogs, etc

I love raw jalepenos and cold watermelon together, always have, always will

i think about 97% of the men on mfp are pervs and are here to babe watch thats why most of my friends are just us girls who are serious about weight loss :)

This is false. I am serious about my MFP.
185 days down and almost 60 lbs gone.

I don't know how much weight I need to lose.

carld256

Im scared im never gonna get rid of this weight

I'm more afraid I'm going to put it all back on, like I've done every other time.

But... but I like thigh gaps. lol

Stupid question - what are thigh gaps????

Thigh gaps are the gaps between skinny thighs. You know, when your legs are so skinny that your inner thighs don't ever touch, and when you stand up straight with your legs together they still don't really touch... there's a little gap between the thighs.

When I don't close out my diary, it's because I went over my calories. (and this happens much more frequently than I would like to admit). Or, as is the case today, I'm just too lazy to guesstimate.

treimnitz

I clean the house naked too, but only when no one is looking or around the house!

Ugh. I do the same thing. And the days that have nothing at all logged, I say it's because I'm practicing "intuitive eating", when really I mean "I've binged all day long and too depressed to log".

SmartWhatever

I'm not changing out of my pjs today and last night I went to a bar and ate all the peanuts that were put out.

I'm a single mom too. I also have issues with eating healthy all the time because of the cost. Its so much cheaper to buy the crap food. Which is so very sad.

same here.. i am convinced the people who don't think it's cheaper to eat healthy are either very, very wealthy or don't have kids. With 3 kids (2 of whom are picky) it's just not cheap. I have noticed that some versions of "lean cuisines" are twice or more the price and you only save 50 or less calories.. and i'm sorry, that's a huge price difference! For the money, i will buy the cheaper versions and cut 50 cal somewhere else. It seem that for the past month or so, all my splurges are on healthy food.

Hooray for me, I'm in the 3%!
I'm on the same type journey of trying to get healthy...20 lbs down so far and about 40 more to go...plus I'm now walking, jogging, biking, and doing the Couch-to-5K training.

3% here, too. Not interested in the whole flirt thing, but it is nice to have support along this uphill journey. Walking, biking, and many other exercises I have not ever really believed I'd do. I tried to run, but my ankles didn't like it at all, still. 11 pounds down and 25+ to go yet.

LOL I was thinking "designated hitter".

I think it was unfair to judge the guys on this site. In looking at the forums, there seems to be a lot of both genders not serious about weight loss. My honesty box? I am super happily married to a fantastic man. However, I have always gotten along so much better with guys, but am scared to friend any on this site because of the perception of people that think you just want to flirt. So I have not friended any guys. Stupid. I cave to judging people.

I want to reach into my computer and smack all the people that post "WTG!" and "good job" to a particular individual who routinely eats 600-800 calories (and doesn't eat back calories from her huge workout sessions) when they see the "so-and-so was under their calorie goal today" message. Read the food log, people!!! And she is constantly complaining about feeling tired and weak, but won't listen to the few people who tell her she needs to eat at least BMR because "it's working."
I want to be there for support like she asked (and particularly for the crash up ahead), but I just can't watch it -- I had to un-friend, and I feel like a tool for doing it.

I eat under my calorie count by quite a bit almost every day I workout, but not to lose weight. It's because I workout a lot.
That's why I "upped" my calorie count to more than is really needed to lose weight.
It's just hard to find 500+ more calories to eat at 7:00 PM at night . . . .

I don't really feel tired or weak though. I am actually full of energy all the time (because of the awesome workouts)!

MaraDiaz

I'm addicted to MFP.

I need to get lai...a life, I need to get a life. Yeah.

I didn't eat that whole ground beef patty on my food diary today. I tried, but I couldn't eat the whole thing. Never thought I'd have a problem over-reporting my calories! Maybe I'm just coming down with something.

I bought a size large dress in a fit of optimism at Goodwill today so I'd have something light to wear around the house. It really did look more like an XL. It sort of fits, everywhere but in the front. It's a major boob-smoosher. So that was a waste of six bucks.

mussmom

Hah- I would have no problem! Give me some peanut granola bars, chips, cookies... Nomnomnom.

1.) I am afraid that the feeling of being fat will never go away, no matter how in shape I get, because I was morbidly obese at one point. I think I will always have a fat girl mentality.
2.) I always freak out and have this lack of confidence thing before I go out to events where I know there will be a lot of females. I think this is because of # 1 , but usually, when I get somewhere, I start feeling like I am super pretty compared to the other girls, even if I am not in as good of shape. I feel like I look a lot younger than a lot of girls that are years younger than me. The benefits of being an introvert and a goth in highschool were that I didn't party so hard (all of the time) that I made myself age, and I never tanned on purpose.
3.) I am a paradox. Equal parts insecurity and arrogance. There is no gray area for me.
4.) I have a really difficult time trusting other females because I have made a lot of terrible decisions when it comes to making friends with the wrong ladies.
5.) I think it is weird that people deliberately damage their skin to fit into some image that society pressures them to pursue. I have many people in my life that tan and try to get me to do it, but I never will. I'd rather be pale now than wrinkled later.
6.) I like eating healthy, and I kind of feel sad when my funds get too low to buy 12-grain bread. Other bread tastes gross to me now. But its wheat this week, blahhhhhhh
7.) I sometimes get this debilitating depression and it makes me completely lose my appetite and I have no desire to do anything. This can go on for long periods of time, but I force myself to eat and workout and fake it like I am ok because I don't want people knowing anymore. People have judged me too harshly in the past and made the problem worse, so now I just keep everything inside.

I have guys on my list who flirt with other females on their lists, I have guys on my list who don't flirt at all. I don't flirt, they don't flirt with me. There probably are some creepers, but that goes for anywhere.

dear husband=DH

Thank you!!! I never knew what DH meant... I always kind of ASSUMED it was something like that, but wasn't sure. So now I know. lol

Also used in a more generic "dear heart"

Can also be damn husband, but that's for only when you're mad at them!

mstifb

But... but I like thigh gaps. lol

Stupid question - what are thigh gaps????

I don't know what thigh gaps are either but if that means my thighs won't rub together when I walk, then I want one! :glasses:

mstifb

just a few things i have been honest with myself about lately and not caring what other ppl think ..... :happy:

1. sometimes i buy unhealthy food because i cant afford the healthy stuff (single mama here)
2. i tried steel cut oats and i HATE THEM (sticking to quaker instant oatmeal packets)
3. watched my first epidode of Dr. OZ and im hooked (he is a funny looking man :indifferent: )
3. i think a thigh gap is creepy!!! and i never wish to have one EVER!!
4. i don't have a public food diary because some mfp members are cruel bullies and i dont care for their opinion
5. i don't log everyday because i have a million other things to do
6. it is going to take me forever to get to my goal weight because I LOVE PIZZA & CUPCAKES (eating pizza tonight)

*EVERYTHING SAID IN THIS FORUM IS ALL FOR FUN PLEASE DONT TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY. LETS HAVE FUN!! :drinker:

Thanks for posting this! Let's see if I can make a list:
1. I buy a lot of prepackaged stuff because I work sometimes 10 hours a day and I don't cook much. It's easier for portion control and gives me a taste variety. I also love using SlimFast and or Muscle Milk as my meal replacement for breakfast and lunch. I don't always drink my 8 plus glasses of water but considering I used to never drink water AT ALL I've come a long way!
2. To go with #1 I think people that eat "clean" are cool, but doesn't mean I have to do that. I hope to eventually make more of my own meals and eat "clean" some of the time, but I know it will never be something I do 100% of the time.
3. I would love to do the Turbo Jam and or Shredd programs but I have fibromyalgia and degeneration and a bone spur in my neck so don't know if I'll ever be able to do something so intense. My body would probably not handle that very well.
4. I have no idea what thigh gap is but if it means my legs will no longer rub together, then that's great!
5. Many times I eat under my 1200 but I don't feel like I'm starving and I try to get as close to it as I can. Also some of the calories it shows I burn as exercise I don't think is accurate because I am on a beginner level and I think the calories shown is more for a higher level.
6. My diary is public to friends. I always welcome positive encouragement and helpful suggestions, as long as it is only that and not the negative or holier than thou type of posts you referred to.
7. I've been logging everyday and hope I can keep it up. It helps me keep focused.
8. My DH and my kids don't want to eat "healthy" and that's ok - I'm hoping one day they will want to do that and I encourage that, but I'm not going to disown them because they don't. They support me and that's what matters.
9. I'm with you on having a limited budget so I do buy frozen dinners that are on sale, etc. The people that complain about what we're eating should buy our groceries for us - but then again, there's still some stuff I wouldn't eat because I'm a picky eater!
10. I love all my friends and will welcome any friend that is positive and encouraging! This is the last one for my list!! :flowerforyou:

chanty1234

1. I feel fat most of the time.
2. I don't wear sleeveless shirts or dresses because I have huge arms and its my biggest complexion.
3. I have never worn a bathing suit in public
4. I am very shy, but sometimes try to hide it by fronting that I am strong and outgoing
5. I eat chocolate at least once a week.
6. I am scared of loosing weight and then gaining it back.

Kathy53925

1.I refuse to only eat "clean"....it may take awhile to get to goal but I love fattening greasy food!

2. Exercise and MFP has become an addiction for me.....

3. I log everything....I don't care what people think how I eat....and if they say mean crap then I ditch thier *kitten*!

LOVE your spunk and I agree...except the greasy foods. I had to learn not to like them. I had 2 years of living hell with a bad gallbladder!! FINALLY had emergency surgery New Years eve! (2004 or in there)
(Dumb *kitten* doctors would NOT listen!!!)

Well I think this thread has its very own uber creepy example, so I'm inclined to believe you.

Hahaha!

Today I feel like throwing in the towel.

Treat yourself nicely. Have a little treat, take a bubble bath, read a fun book. You can stick with this.

And I can understand that! I'm talking about only eating 600 calories total -- not net. Literally logging more calories burned than ingested. I know there are a couple people on this site that think that's healthy if you've got enough stored fat to burn, but I just can't get behind it.

I think I can put together an AFFORDABLE dinner with fresh ingredients with better quality than a frozen dinner. I don't want their sodium and preservatives as part of my diet.

For example, tonight I'm doing steamed rice, microwave broccoli, and a bit of salmon. The rice is bought in bulk and cooked easily in a rice cooker. Broccoli could be fresh or frozen, and can either be steamed over the rice cooker or zapped in the microwave. To cook the salmon I used an indoor griller similar to the George Foreman machine (that you can find for pennies on the dollar at Goodwill or in yard sales). But mine is a Griddler by Cuisinart.
