    *deep breath*

    - I am rarely in pictures. I delete them all if I can get my hands on it. I have this one from Disney because I sucked in and posed and even then I cropped my arm and legs out. I can't. My kids will have no pictures of me at all. I take the pictures of my family so I am behind the camera
    - I am missing my nephew's wedding partly because it is far away and would be hard to get to but also because I can't go dress shopping or be in pictures that I can't edit.
    - I think I look alright in the mirror and I like my hair, makeup, clothes...then my kids will take a picture when playing with my phone and I want to die of embarrassment.
    - I wish my husband wouldn't be interested in sex to help motivate me to loose (just kidding!) lose weight.
    - I don't have boobs or a nice butt to show off. I have considered a boob job. If only it was cheaper.
    - I work from home and I have read this entire thread while working (waiting for things to load) and y'all are hilarious. Ok not a confession but true.
    - I eat around 1300K a day I think and I record everything. I think my weight is more due to inactivity but I don't wanna work out during lunch 'cause Friends is on Netflix and the couch is like right there!
    - I stopped using MFP and going to the gym for several months, I am back now and I will make the changes to help the weight
    - I am pushing my husband to get a vasectomy because I am desperately hoping that the the birth control is the ONLY reason I am fat.
    - I want to have friends here to help be accountable.

    My husband got a vasectomy when I was 8months pregnant with our 4th. Didn't stop me from packing on 155lbs over the next 8.5 yrs. :'(

    Question out of curiosity: is birth control a source of calories?

    It is an IUD but I was hoping the little chemicals in my system were EVIL FAT HOLDING *kitten*.

    However I did balloon when I was in my 20s and got the shot. Truly packed on the weight and never got back down unless I was post pregnancy and not on any BC. I also had more time to workout though. :sweat_smile:

    I torture myself watching food-related TV. I can't stop watching Top Chef, Masterchef, Chopped, The Taste, Cutthroat Kitchen.....

    It's like I have to be near food even if I'm not eating it.

    I follow @foodporn on Twitter.

    What really motivated me to lose weight? Some woman I know that really annoys me lost weight and was getting thinner than me. Couldn't let that happen. Also glad that I'm now way thinner than her, as she gave up. I'm a horrible person.

    I truly did start to lose weight because I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, BUT... deep down? I need to be thinner than my sister. She constantly made fun of me for being fat when we were kids. Recently, we were the same size for a while, and then she took off a few pounds.

    This is war now.

    THIS! I was the fat sister when we were younger, and my oldest sister let me know all of the time. Now (outside of my baby sister who is a beautiful thin young woman) I'm the small sister. I won't lie it makes me feel really good. Especially considering that a few years ago, I lost about 20-25 pounds (of course I put it back on with an additional 5-10), and my oldest sister told me that she hoped I gained all of the weight back. Well this time it's staying off.

    I was the fat one aswell and yes it is one of the reasons I'm doing this. I'm gonna show them just how sexy I AM!

    There's a new TV programme here in the UK called "Weighing Up The Enemy". I've only watched one but the basis is we fear losing something more than we enjoy winning something. So 2 overweight people "bet" some money that they'll lose more body fat % than their opponent - the 2 are deliberately poles apart in terms of life/morals/beliefs (eco warrier v uber spender etc). The first episode had such two and eco warrier wanted to build an outside loo if she won and spender wanted a racing car track day...

    So nothing wrong with wanting to lose more weight than the *kitten* at work or skinny sister - whatever motivates :-)

    I threw away my scale because I hated having a number define my self confidence. Now i'm completely clueless as to how much I weigh... which may or may not be a good thing! lol

    I'll confess that my main reason for losing weight & getting in shape was pretty much the explosion of Facebook.

    My wife (who stays at 125 no matter what she eats....let the hate begin, lol) never gave me grief about my weight - 240 at my heaviest (5' 10"). We didn't take many pictures in the 00's...and they usually were on vacations & into an album they went - out of sight, out of mind.

    Cue 2008 & Facebook. Suddenly I was confronted with my fat *ss face & bloated gut every day. People were taking & posting pictures that friends from high school that I hadn't seen in 20 years could gawk at. I was mortified.

    I'm now down to 170 & have kept it off for 5+ years.

    So thank you, Facebook, for making me face what had happened to me & doing something about it!

    Working from home means that you can work out on your lunch break and nobody will care if you are sweaty!

    Related: I recently moved back to the town where I graduated from high school. When I shop, I go out of town for fear of running into someone I know.

    I haven't ever attended a high school reunion event because I've gained 60 pounds since high school.

    I post pictures on Facebook maybe once every three months, carefully angled and cropped.

    Ugh, the shame.

    Yesterday I ate an entire box of girl scout cookies after consuming well over 2000 calories by lunch... I finished it off with a cheeseburger and fries for dinner. I had to resist the urge to open another box of cookies. Tuesday is weigh in day and I usually have a "cheat" meal after. For some reason, I turned into a crazy person yesterday.

    P.S. I'm the troop leader and cookie manager so I had almost 2000 boxes of cookies in my house over the weekend.

    My confession is that I am nowhere near my goal weight, but I look AWESOME compared to everyone I went to high school with.

    Good aging genes for the win!

    People regularly guess my age at about 15 years younger than I actually am.

    Y'all are so brave and funny!

    - Sometimes I just have cake for lunch. 3 cupcakes. Or a mini-bundt cake. Or huge slices of cake.

    - Sometimes I have cake on top of lunch. (3 cupcakes in addition to my lunch :( ).

    - I believe that IIFYM is the best way to go and openly make fun of Paleo people and clean eaters, but I am currently doing a sugar "detox" (really just a very restrictive diet that cuts out the true loves of my life, being cake, bread, and cheese). I don't believe in the science behind it at all - why can't I eat peanuts? I'm going to eat peanuts! - but I'm loving my results and am super proud of myself for resisting food I never dreamt I could give up. I'm not even that scared I'm going to get off this "detox" and binge and think of myself as weak again.

    - When I was younger, we were taking some food to a potluck and I was sitting in the backseat with the food. I started sneaking some rice out of the pot with my hand and stuffing it into my mouth. My mother caught me and I'll never forget the horrified look on her face! I'm still so ashamed to this day. This was almost 20 years ago :'(:'(

    I am so guilty of this.

    Now one for me...I will throw partially full bags of chips and cookies away because I cannot stay away from them. I feel bad doing it but it's perishable at that point. We usually have it around after a party. I can't keep my grubby hands off of it even though it's not meant for me. I will even go after the kid's treats. No self control.

    I helped picked up the cookies for our troop this year. Two vans full of cookies.! So glad that I'm not the cookie mom!

    I do the same thing, but I watch "Hoarders" to feel better about how messy my house is. Sometimes it actually motivates me to clean it and throw stuff away !
