Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I've been known to eat sugar straight from the canister. or sprinkled on saltines. Been years since I've done that.
Or, dip the spoon into the peanut butter, into the jelly, peanut butter and jelly with no bread. When I get a craving for sweet, nothing sweet is safe.
Chocolate chip cookie dough sans chocolate chips (because I don't keep chocolate chips in the house) - Yep. Done it many times.
Also? It really irritates me when a friend posts on MFP about their huge "binge" and it only works out to 300-400 calories.0 -

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.
Not to be mean or rude but it really sounds like you've developed a disorder. It sounds like food and the preparation of food has consumed you which is not healthy.
I have to agree
Please be careful, this could turn into a problem.

I highly doubt weighing 157 for the last several years is an issue.
I have read continuously "weigh everything", sort of the point to Iosing weight and keeping it off.
I also have thyroid issues. But thanks for your concern. I don't have any eating disorders.
I also work 65 hours every week plus take care of elderly parents, both of whom have medical challenges in addition to 2 kids and a heart patient husband. So anything that simplifies my life is awesome. I also have my own medical issues.
2 weeks ago I worked 95 hours in one week. If I don't prep food I sometimes wouldn't get to eat.1 -
Superbowl Sunday I ate 6 chicken wings, pringles, a tri tip sandwhich and a twix bar. Not to mention the beer....yaaaa.....0

People keep saying that no one can want it for you and that you will never be successful until you truly want it for yourself. Well, that's definitely true....
When I was younger, my family would get on me all the time about needing to work out so I would go to the gym. I'd then go to McDonald's drive through and bring home a quarter pounder with cheese in my gym bag which I'd proceed to eat while sitting in my closet. Every day. For weeks.
Not sure if this was before or after my butter sandwich phase.0 -

Wat.
I want to know more about this, but I don't know how to ask without crossing a boundary.
Visual inspection - floating, etc. Not putting it under a microscope or anything!
I'm fiber obsessed so I know where you're coming from... I will actually poop, do a quick wipe, then stand up to look before the poop gets covered up with toilet paper.

I've moved to a new state (I've been here about 3 months) and have been struggling to find a job (even with a degree from a top tier university) and have made very few friends (never having been in a military area, it has been hard breaking into a group with the other wives)…I have let being home alone 5 days out of the week cause me to gain all the weight back that I have lost…I am beyond disappointed and am struggling to be happy in my new home, which makes me unmotivated and lose my confidence a great deal. I was once 15 lbs down, and now I am just failing to get back on the horse with no structure in my day.0

It makes me feel better that I get to subtract 5 off the reading.
Okay that's kinda fantastic to me lol. It's like setting your clock a few minutes forward and that wonder feeling when you realize you aren't late, but on time.

I would say I only drink an average of 6-8 oz of water a day (unless I have a tough workout). I'm probably chronically dehydrated, but I never feel thirsty. EVERY YEAR (and multiple times throughout the year), I resolve to drink more water, and never ever do.0
-
Okay here goes...if I have a night out with the girls and I'm drinking, I'll sometimes log the calories as "misc." so people don't judge how much I've had to drink. It's a rare thing to get that crazy, but it still looks bad logging like 7 shots.

Used to eat:
Raw oatmeal and brown sugar, about half and half
Raw macaroni soaked in a little water
Raw pie crust sticks
I still have a thing for cookie dough, cake batter, raw cinnamon rolls, etc. When a recipe says "Makes 3 dozen", I may get get 1 dozen in the oven. Salmonella, I laugh in your face!
He he he... I do this... I love undercooked or down right raw foods! Beef, dough, batter, love it! I figure exposure increases immunity so we should be safe

For shame.
But do you hop on before, so you know how much you lost?

If I am hungry and know that I will go over if I eat anything good, I will just eat like 8 pickles, because they taste good to me and have 0 calories. My sodium is way too high.
I do not live in a city that has courteous cyclists or good bike lanes. Cyclists here ride on the sidewalk even when there is room on the street, and don't call out until they are right next to you and about to run you down - even if you are walking with small children.
Many of them also ride in huge groups NOT in single file in the busy part of downtown and on one lane roads and block and hold up traffic for ever... so now I have this angry reaction every time I see a cyclist near me whether I'm walking or driving. I know it's not 100% of them who are awful, but I have this emotional hatred reaction to them now and I often feel like telling the bad ones off (even though I never would because I am ridiculously shy).2 -

It really is a wonder how I ended up overweight.
I can go one step further, my brother and I once ate 13 pieces of toast each with butter and sugar. We used to call it bean toast as is (bien toast).
I use to buy cinnamon-raisin bread and easily eat half the loaf (or more) toasted with TONS of butter on each piece.
Hooray, self control

You have your own reasons and I'm not implying anything about you, please understand.
That said, overfeeding other people with treats is a *classic* ED symptom. I've done it; I've watched other people do it. It feeds your food obsession on one hand, and on the other, if other people get fatter you look thinner by comparison.
Not wanting to fall into that trap again is a big reason I don't bake anymore.

Like, if I ate 7 cookies and went over my calorie goal, I'll log one of them into each day for the rest of the week until today's goal is green... And that is my "placeholder" for those calories for the rest of the week to make sure I reverse the damage completely.
THAT is a great idea! I use the weekly nutrition tool on the app to see how I'm looking on a weekly basis but, when it's out of sight, it's out of mind. This would remind me that I need to make up for it on a daily basis!

My youngest (and last) is starting to wean. Rather than get misty over closing this chapter of motherhood, my first thought was, "Hells, no, you can't stop nursing - mama wants those extra 250 calories each day!"1

First confession: My wife bought a tub of pre-made cookie dough so she could quickly make some cookies for guests (and to make the house smell wonderful). After making a dozen, the tub has sat in the fridge for a week now...and I grab a spoon most nights and go down for a couple (oh hell, this is a confession thread, right?) six or seven spoonfuls of the doughy yumminess.
At first, I reasoned, "She won't be able to tell that there is any missing," but after a solid week of this, there's no disguising the fact that the tub is more than half empty. I'm waiting for the night she goes to make another batch, and realizes that so much is missing.
Second confession: I have considered buying another tub of the exact same cookie dough, scooping out enough to match the amount left in the original container, and then hiding that one in our garage refrigerator to continue to after-dinner snacking.1 -
I love salt too! I keep sea salt at my desk and sometimes pour it into my hand as well for that kick. I've done the same thing with soy sauce. I even put salt on my pizza. My blood pressure is very low so I have always thought that maybe it's my body trying to compensate.
I also love salt. Enough that half the time at home, I use lite salt (more potassium than sodium, but salty tasting still) in place of real salt.
I also have blood pressure of 104/72 at 240+ lbs, so that's not a real concern, heh.

I friggin log it anyway. And my diary is PUBLIC. Imagine logging, I dunno, half a box of club crackers and a truly appalling number of kraft singles, eaten in a single sitting?
My food diary is also a confessional of sorts. I log religiously and make public to my FL every thing I eat, even the other day when I mysteriously ate double my daily calories when I felt like I was turning into a wherewolf so much hunger. But, then when I topped it all off with a peanut butter and m&m sandwich grilled with honey butter with a side of whipped cream and honey for dipping, I realized I was not turning into a werewolf but just getting posessed by Paula Deen. Luckily I watch Supernatural and know how to rid myself of that demon. MFPers reminded me how to mitigate the damage with a weeks worth of small deficits and workouts.0 -
When they get older they'll figure out to leave haribo sugar free hellbears out where you can find them. Then you'll really think life isn't fair!
Google that if you don't know about them. The Amazon reviews are delicious, but not necessarily safe for work!
... oh dear, I just read the top 3 reviews at work and I'm pretty sure my coworkers think I'm crazy. I've had tears streaming down my face for a good hour and I think I might have done some damage to my internal organs from desperately trying to suppress the laughter XD

Pickles are my "freebie" food. I can eat a half a jar and still want to go back for more. On a side note, they also give me gas

I have curly hair and only wash it every three days, but I shower every day. (I use a shower cap to keep my hair dry.) I never thought of it as being something to confess...if I washed my hair every day it would dry out, crack, and frizz out to look like a lion's mane. Now THAT would be gross!
My confession...I use public humiliation/shame to motivate me. I eat much better with somebody watching me than I do when I'm alone. It's my number one reason for keeping my food journal public! I feel ashamed if someone sees me log an entire bag of cheddar and sour cream ruffles (oh my god...HEAVEN!), but at the same time I forbid myself from being untruthful in my food journal. I also try to refrain from using the "quick add calories"...0 -

Blogilates is really challenging, and one of the more physically uncomfortable workouts. I believe that Cassie is a demon sent to earth to punish sinners 'afore their time. It's been estabilished that the extra burn from Pilates is mostly from the extra lactic acid it produces. If you choose to follow her workout calendar you will find when the workouts come up again, you can get through further without needing a break as you neurologically adapt to them. It's a real ego boost. I've been doing them regularly since October, and seen a lot of progress.0 -
