    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?

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQl5aOV0tYn-z3T8W4P6NvhQY5GuSjmL3HeJO00XQwimgwU_BRENSPLz10

    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.

    YAY I made you laugh!

    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.

    That sounds delish. I haven't had ramen in yearrrrs. Since college days probably. Hmmmm, now I'm craving it bad!
  • I will go to the gym for an hour plus workout and then go home and take a nap.

    I just ate a whole almond bar, I did log it though, even though I went over my calorie goal. But today I don't really care, my fitbit won't give me any extra calories if I manually enter any activity on MFP -.-''

    I did that for years, occasionally taking one bite even when I didn't want it. Then I'd bury the cake/cookies/candy with other trash in case the food pusher came by to make sure I was enjoying it (happened often). What is UP with food pushers anyway?

    I just ate a Sicilian Parmesan Steak sandwich from Mr. Hero (steak, Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, provolone cheese, and parmesan sauce with this awesome garlic seasoning on top of the bread) and I'm so happy that I have another half to look forward to tomorrow. :D

    But the flavor packets are the best part! I make some for my kids for lunch occasionally and keep some of the broth and just drinking it from a coffee cup (my salt confession is on like page 20).

    I have a wild addiction to Trident Hot n Spicy noodles, now I buy them, throw away the noodles and have the seasoning packets with vegies :D

    I know, right? Depending on the person, I might do the throw away method or I might say no. If it's somebody who I know will raise a fuss and be a pain about it, I just throw it away. If it's somebody who I know can handle the no, I'll just turn down the food.

    I went 757 calories over my goal yesterday. And it was mostly wine. Oh well ;)

    Doesn't that count as fruit?!?!?! :wink:

    My favorite confession? Using a deluxe chocolate cake, stirred with water and at a whole bowl with a spoon. Yummy!! (but, alas, those days are gone)

    I've eaten bouillon cubes before. Also licked a cube of salt and drank packets of soy sauce. No excuse!

    I have an entire large rubbermaid tub full of mismatched socks that I brought with me when I moved from Texas almost 4 years ago! I just keep adding to it, hoping they will mate!

    Every time I throw the singles away in a 'this is ridiculous just get rid of them' spurt I find the mate stuck to a sheet or something like the very next say. Makes me nuts.

    I keep trying to quit. So far this year my record is 5 days. :(

    I was eating a WAY TOO BIG Hershey bar because I had a crap day. Father-in-law wagged his finger at me and shook his head. He is a nice man but I felt like being violent momentarily.

    Single socks only mate in the wild, not in captivity. Try hanging them from the trees in your front yard.

    So if i know i will be drinking, i usually give half of my calories for the day to red wine and eat veggies and chicken breast so that i can drink without feeling guilty

    That sounds like my typical Friday night

    If there was an eating contest for animal crackers I would win hands down and Joey Chestnut would bow his head in shame. Those things are like crack to me.

    I gave my wife a chocolate bunny for easter. The little *kitten* was still sitting in the house, mocking me.

    I say was, cause I ate him today.
