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.
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.
You can't post in other languages?? What is going on here? I was not aware of either of these things......
After I posted this, I came across a third thread that was closed for the mere mention of Lent.
Yep, any thread in a foreign language will get closed. There was one yesterday entitled "Bonjour."
My real life happens in two different languages fairly equally. I speak 12 languages. I can read a simple conversation in several more. Nobody is ever saying anything bad in any of the foreign-language threads.

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?!?!
This happened to one of the girls in Boot Camp when we had our final timed 2 mile run. We were both close to the maximum time allowed. It was a stressful time and I think I am the only one that saw. I felt bad for her, but we all did things in Boot Camp we couldn't help!
Ah, distance running. The only hobby where nipple bleeding and soiling yourself are part of the fun!
Nipple bleeding?? What kind of distance running is that???
I've always been told that marathon runners can have thier nipples chafe until they bled. That's why there is some sort of glide gel they wear.
Well, for chicks it doesn't even take marathons if you're wearing the wrong bra.
Oh so true. No stronger sign that you need to buy a new one.0 -
Tonight's confession: I find it hilarious when I say something completely sarcastic and ludicrous in a chit chat thread and someone takes me seriously.0

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.
I did the same thing today! Ten weeks of being "righteous" and then, boom, I could NOT stop eating today. Is there a full moon or something??

We are not allowed to discuss Lent?
Can we still discuss lentils?
I dunno, those lentil threads can get pretty ornery some days, too.0 -
I have in the past eaten just two tubs of shop brought mash potatoes for dinner, mash is my favourite thing apart from chocolate.
I also used to regulary share a ben and jerry's tub of ice cream with my partner, this was almost a weekly ocurance.
I haven't either of these for a month because I really couldn't bare with how bad my body was getting.
I will be have a small amount of mash every now and then though.0 -

I know the feeling, I really do.0 -

If I have a night out with the girls *drinks* I count half the wine for one day, and the other half for the next. Those days I have to not eat much to make up for the excess cals.
I have stopped hanging out with the girls because our social events revolve around food and booze.
I often eat at night. I wake up hungry all the time. AND It sucks. Worst is I often get into the peanut butter (all natural kraft) AND I EAT IT BY THE SPOONFUL!
Sometimes when I'm seriously craving sugar, and have nothing, I will take Smuckers Strawberry Jam by the spoonful. Shameful I know.
I have had digestive issues for years AND was labelled IBS until I discovered gluten-free and yeast free diet. Since I feel fantastic, BUT I AM TIRED Of people saying "it's just a fad". Its not. Its a new life for me! I secretly wish they could spend a mnth gluten intolerant, and be forced fed gluten and yeast and know what its like to feel like a 9mnth pregnant woman, with serious abd pains, that u feel like u want to burst AND know what its like to *kitten* fire on a regular basis. I think then the judgment would stop.
I also cant stand it when skinny people complain their butt looks big or asks if a certain piece of clothing makes them look fat. I think these people are just looking for reassurance and compliments. SOMETIMES I feel like saying "yes it makes u look fat and huge and u better get a butt tuck or something" lol. BUT I'm not really that mean. Just annoyed.
I hate it when my doctor tells me I need to lose weight, Like I am somehow lazy or no willpower. I have avoided seeing my family doctor simply because I didn't want to hear his broken record report again saying my BMI is still too high. Thing is I have radically changed my diet and lifestyle and kick *kitten* in the gym. I hate how "numbers define us". What digs me the most is I'm sure I can jog faster and longer than he probably can.
I had also stopped taking my cat to the vet for general every 6mth checkups because they had told me she was fat and I felt like a bad mother. My cat is on a calorie reduced diet as well AND has successfully lost 2lbs safely over the last year. *she is healthy and well* *and gets her vaccinations and check ups regularly* no one freak. NO animal abuse here lol.
I secretly always believed I was single because I was fat.
That turns out to be not the case at all. I was single because I didn't let people in, or I let the wrong men in.
I sometimes fantasize about eating junk food. all the bad stuff. while I chew on celery sticks or eat spinache salad.
Even though I am curvaceous and have a high BMI I love my body.
This feels good to let it all out!
off to check out "hungry for change" now.

I watch Big Trouble In Little China about 3 times a month, it's my favorite movie.0

I totally feel like saying "screw it" and eating everything in sight. I don't even care what the repercussions would be. I want chocolate and Chinese food and alcohol and chips and cheesecake and...
If those things were around, I would totally be binging. As it is, I am mentally tallying everything I have available and thinking about eating it all!
Total bad attitude today.

I collect all of my weight in my midsection and have really oddly shaped hips and love handles and no curve at the top of my butt. So even when I've been thin, all of my bottom clothes (including every type/size of underwear I buy) roll down to try to expose my butt crack, and all of my shirts that have any fit to them roll up my love handles to expose my stomach. I feel like all my clothes are conspiring to shame me. My mom yelled at me once for my pants sitting so low, so I yanked them up below my boobs, the only place they stay out for any length of time, and she finally conceded that occasionally exposed butt crack was actually the better of the two looks for me o.O0

Haven't seen that movie in years, but I loved it! I have green eyes so I'm always on the lookout for Lo Pan and his scary super long pinky nails. LOL!

I intended (and pre-logged) my breakfast as an over easy egg and toast. I broke the yolk when I put it in the pan, so I made a second egg the way I wanted and ate them both. I'm not going to change my food diary because I didn't intend to cook it that way.
Didn't mean it = doesn't count.0 -

"We're getting close, real close. And now for some more bad news... Ready?"
So hilarious. That line gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME

This weekend I bought a box of HoHos... and ate it in two days.
I won't be doing that again! 0 -

It's like a jelly donut on steroids, fried in lard. If you do ever give in and get one, go to a real Polish bakery, don't settle for the grocery store knock offs.
Straight talk right here^^^^^
If it ain't a real one, it ain't worth the calories! The real ones though...oh yeah baby
*adds to wishlist* Sadly I don't know of any authentic Polish bakeries around these parts...0 -
When I feel like a total loser for overeating, I look in this thread to feel better. Not that I'm calling anyone here a loser but I just don't feel as guilty when I read some of these confessions. That might not be such a good thing. I should probably stay away from here.0
