    I can't possibly weigh every single thing that I eat, unless I walk around with a scale and I'm NOT about to do that. Sure I want to lose weight, but I'll make the best guess possible even if it means overestimating and undereating. It's impossible for me to make this a lifestyle if it means being an obsessive maniac over how many grams are in a freakin grape. I simply can't do it. That said, I'll make a conscious effort and do the best I can, but no way in hell I'm walking around with a scale to weigh every single morsel. Kudos to those of you who do, I'm not there nor do I think I want to be.

    What they said.

    My confession - the idea of weighing everything drives me crazy. I will overestimate and up my entry rather than weigh it. I have avoided foods at the work cafeteria because they are too complicated to put in.

    Qft! Everyone's confessing these complicated weighing systems but I never weigh anything. I'll measure every so often to make sure I'm not too far off track, otherwise I eyeball everything and err on the side of caution. And I don't feel bad about that at all ;)

    Confession, I just saw my favorite snack food in the vending machine here at work and I am sooo tempted right now to go buy it and eat it. Talk me down!

    Okay I read through and now it's time for me to 'fess up.

    My hubby works at a chinese restaurant and gets a free meal with every shift, some of which he doesn't eat and brings home to me. Sometimes I've already eaten dinner and I will still accept and devour the whole thing.

    Confession:
    After reading about the commando go-ers at the gym....I tried it! And, drum roll, no panty lines, no bunching, consider me converted!

    Is there .. um...no..hair pulling? I ... er... keep it short (TMI sorry) but would there still not be tugging?

    ETA: No judgement.

    How I think it would go if you used it:

    Confession: this made me laugh while eating and I almost choked on a cucumber.

    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....

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

    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!

    I am SO glad that's I'm not the only one! Heck no I'm not weighing after my shower!! I may have absorbed water into my skin and this home girl is not going to have extra water weighing her down!

    I wish we had cliffnotes to some of these very long comments. If it's more then three sentences, I sort of lose interest. :neutral_face:

    It's sad that I never feel guilty for drinking, no matter how much. My guilt comes from eating, even when it's very little. :#

    I am really bad at calorie restriction if it's not extreme. Any time I cut calories I end up below 800 for the day. I know it's bad, but I can't help it. So at night I stare at the number wondering what to eat to get it above 1000 at least.

    So what you can do is eat at that really low number 2 days a week, then eat at maintenance the other 5.

    RIGHT?!? No pulling wedgies after you run!

    I confess that I buy bags chocolate chips with intents to make cookies. Will open a said bag and say, " I'll just have a few to cut the sugar crave", and then have, in general, consumed all chocolate chips in secret over a matter of days. I hide them in my spice cupboard, and so my husband never knows there is chocolate around. I also have been caught eating the chips, and instead of saying I was eating chocolate chips, told him they were grapes and shoved what was in my hand in my mouth so he couldn't see.

    Also- I have taken to chewing gum like a ceasing smoker because it's the only way I can keep myself from eating food ALL day long. I will go through a full pack of gum in around a day and 1/2.

    On New Year's Eve 2011, I decided to stop drinking "for a while."

    4 months in, I said "Let's go for a year."

    After dropping that last stubborn 12 lbs to reach goal, and feeling FANTASTIC every day, I decided to go for 2 years...

    Now it's been over 3 years & I don't miss it. At all!

    Man, that's some will power right there! I envy you.

    Well, I'm 45, so I had a nice 20+ yr career. It was time to hang 'em up!

    I once binged on super hot buffalo wings because I knew it would upset my stomach and help me lose the last few pounds needed....:/

    When I'm too tired/lazy/unmotivated to make myself real food, I just throw two packs of ramen noodles in hot water, make myself feel better by using only one of the flavour packets, add some cheese and eat the whole thing.

    There's absolutely no nutritional values to those, but meh, a girl's gotta eat?

    Although, tbh, it does fit into my calories, on most days.

    I keep mine in the freezer. SO GOOD!!!

    Ugh, HORRIBLE confession: I've struggled with an eating disorder for years, so I have to keep myself in check. OK...my friends/family seem to always gift with food, and my co-workers always bring in baked goods. Instead of saying "no thanks," I'll actually accept it, take one bite, and then, because I KNOW my willpower is so bad, I'll dump something disgusting all over it and then throw it away (for example: cleaning spray, liquid white-out, perfume, whatever inedible, dumpable/sprayable thing is handy to make it impossible for me to take another bite). Gross and wasteful, I know, but I'm a disordered eater, so if I didn't, I'd be likely to fall into even WORSE habits, like binging/purging! Phew! Can't believe I just confessed that.

    I don't think that is a bad way to deal with it. Sometimes it is easier for me to accept food from food pushers, especially for informal little gatherings at work. I take my slice of cake, walk back to my desk, and throw it in the trash can.

    Calories-smalories...that's several days worth of salt in one sitting.
