I love this thread, btw. The bad, the good, the ugly. The honesty is great.
My confession: when I see that a MFP friend has had a big loss (or even any loss), I'm super happy for them. But if they're losing faster than I am, I'm a little jealous, too.

I once ate chips out of the garbage can
I was so proud of myself for throwing the rest of the bag out then several hours later I was like screw this and went OUTSIDE and got them out and ate them. 1 -
Another: if I I see someone consistently logging "1 serving of chicken (3 oz)", I give it the side-eye. Did you *really* only eat 3 ounces of chicken, or did you just eat a chicken breast (which can be anywhere from 9 to 12 ounces) and call it one serving?
(of course, if you're doing that and losing anyhow, eh, have at it, I guess.)0 -

I do this too! 3 oz of chicken is pretty much nothing. I've never had a chicken breast that was less than 7 oz. I always know those are the ones who don't have food scales and are just estimating!!

Someone gave me a bicycle, and I'm on MFP posting this instead of out riding it because I'm trying to get over a little bit of anxiety. I haven't ridden a bike regularly since I was a kid, and I'm a born klutz. I do have a helmet, though.
To paraphrase melimomTARDIS, time to embrace the fear, pat it on the head, and get on with my life.0 -
Before Thankgiving I made a low cal crustless pumpkin pie. When it was gone I made another and another and another and...now I am finally tired of it!0

I have eaten an entire dozen Entenmann's Softees Donuts by myself on a few occasions. I have no doubt that I could eat an entire loaf of bread by myself as well. I haven't actually done it (thank God for small victories). I have an intense carb addiction.0

I use my little sister as my weight loss goal even though I know it's impossible for me to get her body size (I got a pear shape (5'8") and she's naturally model slim (size 0 and 5'11") with no exercise) I still berate and hate myself that I can't have the same body as her causing my low self esteem to get worse. As a result I sometimes push myself way too hard in workouts.
Now I'm learning how to do it in moderation.0 -
I deleted an mfp "friend" because we had a baby around the same time and a week after we had them she had lost all the baby weight plus an extra 5 pounds and I was up 30 pounds. I couldn't handle it.0

This actually made me giggle because it's something I would do. I made cookies the other day and was eating the dough and didn't count it because they weren't baked so they weren't really cookies yet. lol0 -

This is me. But we buy individually wrapped frozen chicken breasts that are 4 oz. each and I actually DO weigh them, they are all within 0.5 oz of 4 oz. so I usually just leave it as 4 oz. because I'm lazy and I use the bar code scanner.
My confession is that it's 10:30 a.m. and I've already eaten all of my snacks that I brought to work for the day.

Oh yes, those donuts are so good!!! I can see that happening... easily!!0 -
When I go out to eat and look it up in MFP, I'll look for the lowest calorie item (ie; Pho) not knowing how much it really is. I'm cheating myself so why do I do it?? Who knows! I haven't gone over once as far as my diary goes but I have no idea if I have or not. I guess I have cuz last week lost nothing! No gain but no loss either0

Another thing, I eat my roast/steak VERY rare, like blue if I can get it that way.....and even though I have not done it in decades as I know now it is dangerous, when I was a kid, if we had any kind of beef thawing for dinner, I would save the blood from the package and mix it into plain oatmeal and eat it the next day
I've been reading this thread over the last few days and I can't believe how few people have commented on this. I can't stop thinking about it, I think this is the worst confession in this thread, haha. I actually feel sick thinking about it. No judgement, just nausea

I never look at people's food diaries. I could care less what people eat. If it works for you, then have at it. I'd never judge someone for eating 12 donuts or 6 pies or whatever. I can drink a gallon of wine or a case of beer like nobody's business so no judging from me.

I stand on the scales completely and utterly starkers. You never know, my clothing could be suppperrr heavy. I also once tried to tye my hair up to see if it made a difference....
Also, for any friends or family who are non-MFP, when they ask how much I've lost, I say 1 extra pound than I actually have lost as inner-encouragment. Then when I actualy do lose it I can say 'Boom! See you could do it! That statement is now completely true' 1 -

Same here.. right out of bed, after using the bathroom, no clothes, before eating or drinking anything.

I had a panic attack at the gym the other day and cried when I got in my car :-(

Sure, with the frozen ones there's consistency in the size of them, and whatever they say I'd go with, too. With the fresh boneless/skinless breasts you buy in packages or at the meat counter, you just have to weigh them.

Not necessarily true! I do have a food scale, and I religiously weigh out EXACTLY 100 grams (slightly over 3 oz) of chicken at a time for my meals! But then again, I pretty much only eat chicken in sandwiches and (huge) salads--If I was eating it as dinner on a plate with just a veggie side, I'd probably eat double that or more. O.o 0 -

I know I do. I mean, sheesh, even a half a pound of clothes is a half a pound I don't want to see added on there. 0 -
I've fallen for stupid gimmicks and keep telling myself that each one will work, as long as I add the diet and exercise. I just never actually do add the diet and exercise.
Also, I have the diet of a 5 year old, I hate veggies.0 -

That's super awesome, then. Go you!
(I still think a lot of people just put in one serving, though. I know -- years ago I used to do it, too. Buying that food scale is a big eye-opener, isn't it?)

Abso-fricking-lutely! If I've forgotten and have my morning coffee/eat some fruit/put on my work clothes already/get out the shower with wet hair (water counts as weight), then I skip that days weigh-in till the next day!0 -

Samesies. My diary probably looks like I guess all servings of sour cream, mayo, protein powder, etc, but I really weigh every single thing and I just like being super exact.0
