Right now I'm obsessed with exercise, I made the guy I work with stay late and deal with a problem so I could go swimming. I told them I had a doctors appointment. They all assumed it was a female issue because I wouldn't go into details.
Me too, and I love it! I want to go out and play right now, but there is ice all over the ground. I still might go for a walk, though.0 -

Ah yes. "female trouble", the unquestionable excuse.
Just as an offhand observation... Is it just me, or is a woman trying to pull her wedgie out of her butt while running fast on a treadmill while trying not to hey caught absolutely hilarious?0 -
Irrelevant question - I am using the android MFP app - how do I add a bookmark to a discussion please?0

Since I'm Protestant, I don't practice Lent.
I'm never provocative about it (I would never seek to offend someone just for the sake of it) but every year I make a silent protest against Lent by making sure that I eat a substantial amount of meat every Friday, preferably red meat.
Also, I once unintentionally created torment for my old boss during Lent. Our team was having a snack day and since I forgot about Lent, I brought a George Foreman and burgers. The whole floor smelled like a backyard barbecue and my Catholic boss was just drooling over the burgers but never let himself have one. Several others succumbed to temptation.0 -
It seems like some Protestants do observe Lent. I know that Lutherans do, because I take a Zumba class at a Lutheran church and we have to change our schedule due to Lent-related activities for six weeks. I'm pretty sure that Anglicans do too.
My confession: I am not religious at all, bordering on slightly anti-religious. Still, it bothers me that people are not being allowed to discuss Lent on this site. As long as they are not assuming that everyone has the same practices, it seems like a valid diet-and-fitness-related discussion.0 -

When I make a cake with chocolate buttercream frosting, I always leave extra frosting on the beaters and in the bowl so I get to enjoy the deliciousness!
I use this recipe (minus the egg yolk in the frosting.) It is absolutely the best chocolate cake ever and the best frosting!

My granddaughter told a friend of hers that they must have burned 200 calories while they were playing yesterday. So my daughter is mad at me because her child "knows about those things already". I feel like I committed a crime.
But here's the thing...if one of my granddaughters doesn't eat ALL of the food that a parent puts on their plate (the girls are 10 & 9 yrs old), that plate of food keeps reappearing at meal times until the child finally eats it. But the boy, 7, can say "that's gross!" refuse to eat it, and it never comes back for him. He never even gets the threat.
But I'm the criminal.
I was also raised to finish everything on my plate, even if I was full. I am now obese. If my kids are full, I let them be full. Otherwise, I am raising another generation of over-eaters, who do not listen to what their bodies are telling them. If they say they do not like something, we have the three-bit rule. They have to take three bites and if they still do not like it, they don't have to eat it. My children are not at all picky, they eat until they are full, and they are all very thin. I feel as though I am doing the right thing.0 -

Love this forum! I have tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard! The "silent protest against Lent" cracked me up!0

I was shocked when I moved to the US that Americans would spoil some delicious cake with way too rich buttercream frosting. Then I realized that most of the cakes were not even that good in the first place.
My mom once embarrassed me to no end at the grocery store because she took pictures of all the birthday cakes there (and even got told off by a manager). It's just not something we do in France. We have more... 'distinguished' cakes, lol!0 -
This thread is hysterical, and don't even need to enter a confessional lol
I can eat entire bag of Lays Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips in one sitting!0 -

My two and a half year old calls it the "face face" song. When he sings along it's hysterical, and he doesn't understand why I'm laughing.0 -

Heathen! Just kidding, almost any frosting not involving coconut flakes just happened to always be my favorite part of the cake.0 -

I've kept buttercream frosting in my desk drawer at work. (I was a WW leader -just a second job sort of thing - at the time too.
) When one of the co-workers who used to come by for spoonfuls of frosting got married, I held her engagement party. I went to her favorite bakery (their cakes are lovely and decadent without frosting, btw) and got her a cake completely and entirely covered in frosting roses. Roses on top of roses so that we all got a piece with at least 1.5 frosting roses per slice. 
Yes, we Americans like our frosting!0 -
I have eaten a 20" Cheesesteak with Lettuce, Tomato, Fried Onion, Raw Onion, Ketchup, Mayo, Extra Cheese, bag of chips and a large drink with several refills in one meal many times. Sometimes I wish I was 300 lbs again, those Cheesesteaks were so good0

I have days where I don't eat hardly anything and I know that is probably hurting more than it is helping. I workout at least 3 days a week and recently when I put my info in MFP gives me a couple of paragraphs telling me I am not eating enough calories..0

You're right. Lutheran and Anglican churches, while Protestant, are not as far removed from Catholicism as other denominations such as Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, etc. and still maintain a lot of the same traditions.
I didn't realize Lent was taboo on here. There's been other threads that discussed religious fasts unrelated to Lent so I don't see what the big deal is.
My next confession: I talked about religion (sort of?) on MFP.0 -
I went to Starbucks today solely to take a dump in their restroom. (don't judge, our water is out!)0

I hide stuff in my car. chips. chocolate in the winter......eat it then don't log it. idk why because its only affecting me.. its like i think just because nobody saw me eat it it didn't happen. I also smoke and afraid to quite again cause last time I gained 40 lbs. excuses is all they are and I can't stop making excuses

I always share my "bad" foods so I don't each as much of them. (Its really not to bad except that my hubby cant figure out why he isnt losing weight lol!) Also, I have been known to creep the break room for goodies and if there is something like cake I will take a piece and only eat two or three bites or just the icing and toss the rest. It lets me be "bad" without killing my calories for the day! I have hadbinge recently. Like I seriously couldn't stop eating. I ate cookies, then a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, then a yogurt, then a peice of chocolate pie, then an icecream sandwich. I mean seriously I was nauseated when I finally managed to stop. I have no idea what came over me I just did it....
OP you are so right, I feel so much better now! LOL! Thanks for this post.0 -

Big bra cups look really weird and kind of scary to me.
I'll let you in on a secret. I'm a DD and my own bra cups look really weird and scary to me sometimes. I mean, I'm strapping a pair of soup bowls to my chest every morning. . .
Ok just embarrassed my self busting out laughing at this one!0 -

I just 'accidentally' ate about 1200 calories worth of pancakes & toppings, despite telling myself all week I WILL HAVE ONLY ONE AND NO CHOCOLATE/CREAM/BANOFFEE SAUCE WILL BE INVOLVED.
All three were involved, in gratuitous amounts. I regret nothing.
Good thing I'm going running tomorrow.0 -

I do this, but with some stuff called milo. Tastes divine in powder form, much nicer than making it into a hot drink. So I've stopped buying it.
I eat nutella by the spoonful. Heck sometimes I don't even bother with a spoon, scoop it out with my finger - clean of course and I don't double dip!
Quick added calories are a great way to hide food. I probably do this a few times a week.
Ahh that feels so much better *takes big bite of donut, er I mean "quick added calories"

Yep--two Lent-related threads were closed yesterday. One of them was not even heated or contentious at all.
I'm also a bit weirded out by the "don't use any languages other than English" rule. It seems strange to me that a respectful discussion in another language is taboo.
Other than that, I confess that I like it here.0 -

Same here! I thought I was the only one that hates taking selfies. (I can't even say that word out loud. Sounds so childish).0 -
This happened to me while I was running my first 10k. Again, no bathrooms on course. Ugh, why does running make the grossest things happen?
Better question: why are there no restrooms on the route?!?!0 -
I just ate two Paczki's. One right after the other. They were SO good. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I'm rescheduling it for two weeks from now just so that I have time to work them off. I suck at my life.0
