I found myself wondering earlier if a food scale would accurately weigh my boobs. Decided not to bother since I have no clue what they 'should' weigh.0

That's the cutest thing ever.
Agreed! And because you're creating a memory with your son that he will remember forever it doesn't count as calories!
The memories will end up being more delicious than the pie, methinks. Now I just have to think of something similar to do with his sister!
My dad and I bake cakes together. Just throwing it out there. You could also make fudge with her, my grandpa and I do that. My grandma and I always had tea parties when I was a kid. Good times.
Those are great ideas, but I'm hoping to do something outside the kitchen with her. One of the reasons I take my son grocery shopping is to demonstrate that the gender roles society has placed on us are artificial and that we can break them with our actions. I'm hoping to do something similar with my daughter.0 -

Yeah I don't know either, but with all the loose skin, calipers wouldn't help anyway.0 -
I upped my exercise this week in an attempt to try and make up for the large amount of alcohol I will probably be consuming tomorrow night celebrating exam results which came in today...

I love food so I pretty much work out so I can eat more and not feel guilty. I do not forbid myself from eating any foods because I would go crazy and eat an entire bag of Sweet Maui Onion potato chips if I did.0

That's awesome. I wish I had some cool memories like that with my dad.0 -

^^^^^ THIS IS AMAZING! What an amazing dad you are! If my dad had been like you, perhaps I would be speaking to him today.0 -

Agreed!!! Father/Son quality time calories totally don't count ... You are setting an amazing example for your son on what it means to be a father - kudos to you!!
As for confession ... So many to think of BUT if I have to pick one - one of the many things I struggle with in losing weight is hiding food and/or lying about food to other people. Like, what I've eaten or when - there were times right before I started MFP that I would stop at Taco Bell and order something, eat it in the parking lot and then head home for dinner. I confessed to my husband and now I'm on the path of being honest about my food.0 -

Yeah, my dad would take my other siblings to play basketball at the park, he knew better than to try to get me involved with that, lol. I would just get on the swings and monkey bars with my younger sister (we're not into sports). That is/was the good thing about my dad he always made sure to do things that we were interested in.0 -

How old is she and what kinds of things does she like? (sorry if you've already answered this; I'm a page or 2 behind on this thread)0 -

No worries. She's only 4 months, so I've got some time to think of something. I just want to make sure I don't wait too long.0 -
My new favorite show is Big Giant Swords, it's about some Irish Guy who blacksmiths Big Giant Swords, then uses them to destroy something. it's amaze-balls.0

Confession: Y'all are making me blush with this good dad stuff. Thanks for the ego boost!0

Confession: I've never had, or even seen, a TastyKake. I imagine they are amazing and I've been cheated.
OhMyGodAllTheNomz....Tastykake (just realized I've been spelling it wrong all these years) is a regional thing. They're actually a company that puts out a lot of different baked treats, but I think their baked pies are the best.
Regional doesn't include Idaho, obviously... sigh
Yeah, sorry. Their headquarters/bakery is in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, so it's mostly a PA/NJ/MD/DE thing, kind of like Wawa. There used to be local TastyKake drives to send to troops stationed overseas.
And the Flyers still score for a case of TastyKakes! (Mmm. Butterscotch Krimpets.)0 -
tincanonastring wins best dad award! Maybe you can have a superhero day with her where you both wear capes and "fly" on the swings. Or throw a baseball or football back and forth then have hot dogs. Or build rockets. Can't tell I was a tomboy can you?

Well, I've always been a daddy's girl so on the weekends when my mom and older sister would go to the mall shopping my dad and I would go to the car lots and look at all the new cars or go to car shows. I'm still more interested in cars and trucks than I am shopping! And, after he retired my dad was able to start restoring old cars as a hobby, so now he participates in the car shows. Good job - I applaud your desire to break the gender stereotyping!0 -

I freaking love this.
Me too. How about taking her to the DIY store and every time buying an item towards a long term project. Or if you know about cars teaching her some mechanics.
