My Fitbit One always counts my elliptical rotations as steps, I can't imagine I would ever exercise otherwise....

Last Wednesday at my local diet club meeting I won one of the door prizes. I selected the bag of baked Sour Cream 'n Onion Lays chips because for me, it's all about salt. I ate two servings on the way home, counting chips as I drove, and ate the last serving last night. There are 6 servings in a bag. Pretty sure I didn't log all of them. Should have taken the 100 calorie microwave popcorn box, but I always figure that stuff is "bad" for me. LOL. I won't be accepting any more ready-to-eat door prizes should I happen to "win" again tonight. The woman who leads these informal weigh-ins/discussions, says her husband asks if she's going to the whale watchers meeting. He is very un-PC. I am too, so of course think its funny and now call it that.
It's a diet club meeting and they give you chips? Boggles my mind a little bit, lol.dswolverine wrote: »I do a ton of cardio daily for the sole purpose of eating a lot of dessert at night. I was also happy at the fact that my sister, who hovers around a size 4, gained a noticeable amount of weight the last year (ok so it was maybe 8lbs but because she's so skinny I noticed it)
I started exercising so I could eat more. And same with my sister... I was always the 'fat' twin. Well, not anymore. And it makes me feel great. I'm a horrible person.
Confession of the day - I'm always preaching moderation but seem to do much better when I just avoid my trigger foods...0 -
Confession: I love, love, love to eat in bed. After a long day, some chocolate or ice cream and a good book in bed is my idea of heaven.0

As it is no matter how much my husband says he loves me, I think I'm hideous. I just love horrible food so much...
Same here. I could kick myself for not appreciating how nice my teen/young adult body was. I was self conscious about every curve. What a joke.

He isn't sabotaging me, he's totally supportive but he's not keen on doing exercise himself, and we're so ridiculously co-dependant that I'd rather just be with him than be out doing any exercise. We're like teenagers, and if I wasn't one of us, we'd make me want to puke. So yeah. I skip exercise so I can mush out with my beau.
ETA: and for the first time, I may want to change my body for the better heath-wise, but I actually like myself, because he loves my body and loved it 23kg ago, and he's the best person I know, so who am I to tell him he's wrong? He must be right, so I've learned to believe him
I bought an inexpensive exercise bike, and if I need to work out when my guy is home, I ride it next to the couch while we watch our shows. He doesn't mind, and we still get to spend time together. Bonus is that then he can hop in the shower with me after. Hey-o.

[/quote]I am dreading this come Friday. I rescued a kitten last July. My neighbour found her, and she was left out in the woods/fishing area with no other cats or anything. I was supposed to keep her overnight and ended up keeping her. First cat I have had in almost two decades. She was only five weeks old and weighed barely one pound. Last time she saw the vet was two months ago and she was eight pounds and the vet had me change her to adult kibble and told me she was at her max weight. She goes for a check up Friday, and I KNOW she has gained weight. Her neck is thick and when she lays on her back, she is all belly.....the thing is I feed her EXACTLY what the vet instructed. She gets one can of Science Diet wet food over two servings and exactly 1/4 cup of Science Diet Oral care dry food once a day.....the problem is, she eats everything she can get her paws on in the house. It is honestly like she never got over being hungry (when we found her, she was STARVING)....she eats paper, hay and rodent kibble from my degu cage, cotton of q-tips (I can no longer have a garbage in my bedroom or the bathroom because she tears it apart eating garbage constantly), one day she ate the entire outside leave of a cabbage that was on the table. Even two weeks ago she ate an onion ring and I had to spend $56 calling animal poison control, she is insane. I hope the vet has some answers for me and not just tell me she is fat and to cut back her food.....cuz I honestly think that might make it worse.....[/quote]
I adopted an adult male shelter cat, and he is so food insecure it is insane. He wakes us up asking for food at 3am some nights. We can' t leave anything out. I caught him eating Red Vines the other day. Red Vines! He also ate my partner's cake that he walked away from. I have a friend who volunteers with a shelter and she told me it can take more than a year for abandoned cats to feel secure about their home and food situation, and some of them never seem to quite get over it

Uh-huh. I was 120 pounds at 19 and joined a gym because I thought I was fat. I wish I was that "fat" now!0 -

What do you log it as?ErikThaRed wrote: »ErikThaRed wrote: »I log sexual activity in my exercise diary; and even looked up how much calories *kitten* burns...lol
But do you wear your heart rate monitor?
No, just found online that "The average man burns 4.2 calories a minute having sex, while women burn 3.1 calories. " and calculated based on that.
There's actually sex in under cardio, for me 3 calories for 1 minute. I used to log it but now my dairy is open...0 -

I think you mean you "trawl" through the threads looking for "trolling".

Last night I succumbed to my pre-TOM cravings and had KFC for dinner. I didn't log it.

Shoooooot... story of my dating life. Power through because you'll most likely regret it. They're usually pretty crappy in the sack.
I'll vouch for that, IME. They're usually pretty crappy at everything that doesn't revolve around them.
I'm amazed at how fast I can demolish an entire 4 oz box of strawberry milkshake Whoppers just eating two or three at a time here and there.0 -
I felt like I was starving earlier, and I ate a ridiculously huge lunch. When I logged it, it came out to about 1300 calories. Guess Im drinking water for dinner.0

No, I did mean troll, but both of them work as they are both methods of fishing. To trawl is to use a net, to troll is to use a line. Putting it in writing your way makes it look nicer, though, doesn't it?

I drank most of a bottle of wine last night and ate half a box of girl scout cookies. Alone. Guess what I'm giving up for Lent O.O0

I wasn't very hungry today and had the option of keeping a big deficit to make up for yesterday's binge, or having a chocolate... The chocolate won and I only kept a small deficit because I once again ate too many...0

My father died when I was 4, I have an older half brother who may or may not have known I existed and this past november, when I found out about him, I tried to contact him and he told me flat out he wasn't interested. I still can't fathom how someone wouldn't want to know their blood.0

Panera breakfast today with chocolate brioche, chai latte, a third of a scone, a quarter of a cinnamon bun, yogurt parfait - almost 1000 calories for nothing - just grazing through the break room. I recorded - some of it...0

I hate when people use bad grammar repetitively in their posts. I quit reading it because I feel like it’s a waste of my time. Bad grammar to me equals (1) Laziness or (2) Uneducated. Call me a snob, but that’s how I feel. I know my typing and/or spelling isn’t always perfect, but I at least try to make an effort to sound literate (and so should you).0

I always feel bad, but I tend not to respond to posts that are grammatically terrible. Typos are one thing, but if you can't even use punctuation, I click the back button. I kind of feel like if someone won't put the effort in to making a post legible, they aren't going to heed any advice they get anyway (I may be wrong, but that's how I feel)0 -
I'm very proud of what I'm doing, but I'll never admit it in front of my friends or people who know me. They will probably love the results but I don't want to share the process with them (I'm very willing to share it with all the people her and over at Reddit).
That's why I don't post pictures, because I don't want them to find out (even if the possibility is very remote).0 -
What is cookie butter?
Pure heaven in a jar. The taste of cookies, the consistency of peanut butter. If you try it, you will have a hard time not eating half a jar in one sitting, so be prepared.
I can't even be near Biscoff Spread. That stuff is like crack and I may find myself soliciting my services to get some.0 -
I used to starve myself. I lost over 10 pounds in 4 months, but I admit that I felt *kitten*.
And also, I used to try to make my friends fatter than me in any way I could, what a vile person I was. It sort of makes my laugh though, because of the extreme levels I would go to.0
