    This Is Just To Say

    I have eaten
    the plums
    that were in
    the icebox

    and which
    you were probably
    saving
    for breakfast

    Forgive me
    they were delicious
    so sweet
    and so cold

    I wear the same stinky workout clothes for several days without washing. Ewww gross, I know. Always change my socks though lol
    Questions (not judgement of course):

    1) do you mean you don't change out of those workout clothes for days or are you "airing" things out like some of these other ladies?

    2) For the ladies airing stuff out would it be just as easy to take those clothes in the bathroom+when you shower and leave them in a sink full of water and Woolite while you shower and the drain the sink while you dress and then hang them to dry for the same lenght of time they would have "aired out"?...without really costing you any more time if thats the issue?

    3) Is it the scented trash bag, and what do you do with the yellow drawstring tie it at your waist like sweats?

    4) What is the difference between, judgement, curiosity, "nosy" -ness, and concern?

    I resent thin people. I've been fat my whole life, and have no idea what it's like to be thin. I know I shouldn't resent them, but damn, when I see a thin girl complaining about how those jeans make her *kitten* look big, I want to slap her in the face.

    Me too!!!!!! In fact it pisses me off. I think it is because I just WISH that the hunt fr the perfect jeans on a perfect body was my biggest issue. Maybe it is jealousy? But either way.... I feel the same!

    I second these questions.

    Socks are the only thing I can only wear for two workouts in a row but only if I absolutely MUST (usually because I forgot to bring a fresh pair of gym socks and have a class to rush to) because my feet don't sweat as much as the rest of me, which gets pretty damn ripe since I sweat like a beast. I've started getting into the habit of wearing my sports bra in my post-workout showers and washing them with me and line drying overnight. I have enough workout tops and pants to last several lifetimes so it's a fresh pair every day of the week.

    As one of the airing out people, can I just say that I don't really sweat except for my hands and the top of my head? I work hard, and those places sweat a lot, but I'm just not a sweaty person. Even when I got hot, I don't sweat.

    ETA: BTW, I always wipe down gym equipment after using it. I air out my clothes. I'm not a dirty person, and I'm not rude.

    I sometimes wear my HRM for a few minutes after I finish working out just to get to log a higher calorie burn.

    I also ate most of my kids Halloween candy... You know... to make sure it was safe to eat...

    Confession: I get really really excited when I poop before breakfast.

    I won't weigh myself every morning until after I've pooped.

    Some days it doesn't happen until much later. :(

    These two posts explain a lot of the mysteries of my youth. Meanwhile, I was apparently wasting my time explaining to my friends why they should not make fun of heavier girls when I guess I should have just been practicing more bob and weave.

    I weigh out veggies like sweet potatoes at the grocery store on my food scale, yes I bring it with me. It's a flat black smooth one and looks like an iPad from a distance. It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.

    I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.

    I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.

    All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.

    Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.

    Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.

    Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.

    When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.

    I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.

    I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.

    I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.

    Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.


    Wow! I wish i had you at home with me. I actually like the idea to bring the scale to the store. And i am aiming to soon start premeasuring and vac sealing once a week for easier prep. You, my friend, are my type of compulsive. My goal is to be a little more like that.

    Damn!!! You're amazing. You should get a job taking weight loss clients grocery shopping !

    I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.

    I've done that and will do it again. No regrets. That stuff is delicious! I put it on my ice cream.

    I wash them, just not every time immediately after wearing them. Just once a week.

    No, no, no.
    I got MRSA from the gym when I was 19 (in college.) I was a healthy person, and I got it because someone didn't wipe off gym equipment.
    I have to shower right after the gym and throw all my clothes in the wash.
    But I do sweat buckets during each session. Lovely family trait.

    Sometimes I log just my coffee so I don't lose my days logged in streak or adjust my portions so it doesn't look so bad.

    I'm gluten free on top of making lifestyle changes and I am tired of explaining my choices or that my "diet" isn't all a choice.

    I gained 10 pounds over the holidays but never adjusted my current weight in MFP. I've lost 5 pounds of it already but technically I should have recorded it.

    I gained eight and never logged it either. I only log losses and will only continue to do so if I feel like it has stuck around too long. I am on track to be back to pre-Thanksgiving weight by late February.

    um. no. Not really a people person.

    I developed those habits as a coping skill and a result of things said in the forums here. When all along I should have gone to see a doctor. However, the extreme OCD quirks have helped greatly in getting the medical community to actually listen and run tests, I hope to have answers for next week. They took 13 vials of blood from me on Friday to test to see what exactly is going on.

    I confess that I religiously record every single thing I put in my mouth except one tiny thing. I drink water all day long, and let myself have one bottle of diet dew with dinner. I know it says it has 5 calories...but seriously if one serving of the bottle has 0 calories I don't see how two servings have 5 calories. Bogus.

    I'm so rebellious :wink:

    No, I get that. Thank you for wiping the equipment!
    It is just my MRSA flairs up from time to time due to in-grown hair, slight irritation, etc. Showering my icky sweat off helps (plus the doctor told me to.)
    Otherwise, it is month of antibiotics, stomach troubles (have those already) and someone poking at my skin with a scalpel.

    Also, not to judge, but more than one person said they throw out a bunch of food. Why? There are so many starving people in this world, and doesn't that waste money? Maybe I just don't have a big food budget.

    I had a similar experience several years ago. Instead of spoonfuls of chocolate powder, I grabbed a handful of chocolate chips and put them between bread slices. Grilled chocolate sandwich. I was desperate! (But it was so worth it...)
