I changed a Co workers native language to swahilli once. Phone and computer.
Gotta lock your office people.
Haha! How do you fix that in settings with the language messed up?0 -
Confession 1: I feel as though people (friends, coworkers, etc.) judge me for wanting to lose weight and/or work out. Like they think I think I'm better than them. No, I don't think I'm better than you, I just want to be better than me. Does anyone else feel this way?
Confession 2: I have totally judged posts on this thread...mostly because of grammar and/or spelling.0 -

I have 3. At first I thought I had chocolate on my neck, then it occurred to me that I had not eaten any chocolate.
They are very large, very purple and will be difficult to hide. I don't bruise easily, which makes me wonder if this was done intentionally to "mark" me or something. I have no idea how I feel about that.
An ex of mine showed up at my house drunk one night and did that marking thing. The whole time we were together he never once gave me a hickey. Before he finally got "no" through his thick skull that night, I had a hickey on my lip and a small one on my neck. I would have had more but I realized what he was up to and started limiting his access. I didn't know it was even possible to get a lip hickey.
Related confession: I kind of wish I hadn't vetoed that one. He was more intense that night than he was the whole time we dated and it was really hot. If I hadn't known he'd come from the bar where he'd struck out with all the girls he hit on and figured I'd be his fallback, I probably would have gone with it.
Will you be my dating mentor please?
You're clever wrt .... Men.
I don't qualify as a good person to be a dating mentor. This one only went the way it did because we were friends for 10 years before we dated. I know how he thinks. He also pulled the same thing on Thanksgiving eight months after I threw him out - came over, said all the right things, answered all my questions the right way, and then the following morning tried to claim I wanted it to. I wanted the words, he didn't mean them, just kept talking until no turned into yes. I swore it wouldn't happen again and when he showed up again almost a year later, I made sure it didn't. Haven't heard from him since (it's been four or five months), so it was going to be exactly the same move as before.0 -
My confession for today is that I stress myself out over how other people judge me for being 30, single & childless. Most of it is probably just in my own imagination, but I feel like it's not "acceptable" for me to be 30 and single (with no prospects either). But at the same time for the most part I'm okay with being single and THAT stresses me out because I feel like maybe I should be more actively trying to change that since I am 30 and let's face it, the window to have kids (should I even want them) is getting smaller all the time.
Sooo I stress myself out over how I feel and what society thinks I should be doing because I care what people think about me when I know I shouldn't. *sigh*
(is this too much for a Friday morning? lol)
Probably less judgement that I used to get for being 25 with 4 kids ages 5 and under trailing me. I literally had someone ask me if they had the same dad. Honestly, with that many small kids, there would be no facking way in hell I could have found time to have sex with people who did not already live in my house and share my bed!

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.
I like the idea of a long term project. I've got next to no knowledge on cars, but I do have several friends who can build one with their eyes closed. I've been thinking I might get a beat-to-*kitten* muscle car and have her rebuild it with me, then give it to her when she gets a driver's license. The only problem is that it's not something we can start until she's a older.
Someone else mentioned model rockets, and that's a great idea. I'd love to foster some interest in STEM as they are typicaly male-dominated fields. Rocketry is something we could do early on, too.
My dad took me hiking, camping, and we made a garden together. He was really into birds so he taught me bird ID, but I got really into plant ID, which he fostered. I went to school for systematic botany. I think camping and gardening are both good, especially for girls as it encourages self-sufficiency and creative problem solving. Plus watching a plant grow from seed is one of the greatest things I think anyone can do for kids.0 -

I buy two, on purpose, so there is some leftover. Cream Cheese frosting with a spoon...
I contemplated buying a container of cream cheese frosting for myself while buying cake mix and frosting for my daughter's birthday cake. I picked it up and set it down a couple times. I LOVE cream cheese frosting on graham crackers.
My grandma used to do this for us when we were kids. Forgot about that, actually. Yum-mee.
My grandma did this too. She was partial to chocolate frosting on her graham crackers. I was probably a huge disappointment, I hate frosting.0 -

I'm sorry that people judged you and I can't even imagine keeping up with 4 kids under the age of 5, but this comment made me laugh!0 -

Depends on what your scales max weight is. Mine only goes up to 3lbs and I know my boobs would make it say error if I tried that. Just have your husband/boyfriend/significant other hold them up while you stand on the regular scale. That works pretty well for me.
I don't get this. If you're holding on to anything, you'll never get an accurate weight anyway, how would you expect this to work?
I had too many chocolates and snacks again. 450 calories left for dinner (maintenance goal), which would be fine if I didn't want to keep a deficit to make up for my binge of 2 days ago... I'll be very surprised if the scale isn't up this month!
Sure you will. Step 1. Get on the scale (remember your weight). Step 2. Ask partner to lift your breasts for you (granted this will not work if you've got nice perky boobs, or small boobs. Mine happen to be extra large and pretty darn saggy from having two breastfed children so my hubby can just lift them right up off my body for me) Step 3. get back on the scale. Step 4 calculate the difference between lifted and not lifted. Vola, boob weight.
No, because science. I'll just stop there.
Well, it's closer than just estimating, right? Plus, someone gets to hold boobs, so there's that.
I'll volunteer if someone doesn't have anyone to hold their boobs.
Get in line, bub.
And, case in point that men are MUCH more forgiving of our bodies than us women are! This conversation seriously made me laugh. Thanks - I needed it this afternoon!
If i told you your body was amazing, would you hold it against me?
Hahaha! Thanks! Love your avatar by the way. I've recently restarted my Starbucks addiction. I did really good for a while, but I just can't resist that place!0 -

To make myself not feel so bad when I eat cookies or chips, I give every other one to the dog. And when I log it in, I will use the lowest calorie/serving I can find LOL. OH THE SHAME!!0

I love the office pranks.
I auto-corrected the word "the" for "poop" on my wife's phone. Childish I know, but she had the hardest time describing it in a text and it was funny as hell.0 -

My weight has been pretty consistently low the last few years, but I don't think people realize how much I actually struggle with food and being healthy. I'll go maybe a week with being super on point, great clean foods, exercising, no overeating...then I'll just binge for like 2-3 days.
I'll one day decide I deserve a 'cheat day,' and go to the grocery store and buy EVERYTHING that I love, cookies, ice cream, chips, dips, pasta, pizza....of course only intending to eat it on that one day...but then I buy so much food and have so much left over that I eat that crap for multiple days, which then totally cancels out all the awesome days I had before. Then I feel awful, gain tons of water weight, get guilty and have another few days of being on point. It's just a horrible cycle. My body composition and general appearance sucks because I'm always going up and down with the way I treat myself.
Losing weight and being healthy is soooo simple.....but so hard. I can't believe after all of these years I still can't seem to grasp the basic concept of moderation. Ugh.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.

My dad and I do remodeling things around the house together. Or if you're good at car repair, you could teach her that? I've always enjoyed the fact I know my way around a hammer and a Phillips-head Screw Driver 0 -

I emphathize with you. I went through a brief period of my life that I did this and I know how miserable it was. I knew what I was supposed to do, but I couldn't seem to maintain it for very long. My issue was being in a very unhealthy relationship and needing to make some personal changes at the same time. When I finally got through those two things I could focus on myself much better.
Not very helpful to you, I know. But, just wanted to say that you aren't alone in your struggle. The ever-present balance between right and wrong, should do but don't do, etc. haunts a lot of us. It's even present in your screen name! I do love that.0 -

nice to know I'm not alone! I'm pretty happy with my current state of life, my job is awesome, financially am doing better than I ever have been, social life isn't great but nothing at all stressful really going on. I feel like I have no reason to have this awful relationship with food and myself. I used to be very overweight when I was younger, and it definitely affected my entire being and way of thinking, so maybe I just still have that negative relationship haunting me.
I want to feel good and look good for myself....but I also just love food, plain and simple. Food excites me and makes me happy lol. Pathetic sounding, but true! It's funny because when some people look at me, they probably just think I'm like any other young 'lucky' person with a smaller body, but I struggle so much on the inside with it. I hopefully will learn to get everything under control now, because I know later on in life my body won't be quite as forgiving. Scary 0 -
I have been eating super clean since January 5th and have lost 30 pounds. My confession is that I have no willpower. I make sure I am never alone at home (always with my husband or one of the kids) so I don't eat junk food. If no one is with me, I go to bed. I recently took over as office manager at my work. Today, while tidying up my office, I found the old office manager's stash of snacks (popcorn, a peanut butter granola bar and a snickers bar). I have already eaten the popcorn and the Snickers bar and am considering the granola bar right now. I am so disgusted with myself right now! I was sure if I went this long the self-control would get easier.

I really wish I hadn't read this. You know, I've purchased a lot of things that people mention in threads; ice cream, peanut butter, fireball whisky & rumchata... Apparently, I am highly suggestible.
Guess I am too. I bought the Biscoff Cookie Spread because of this thread along with a box of animal crackers because of my pals had them in her diary and I thought they sounded yummy. Light bulb! I'll dip the animal crackers IN the cookie spread.
Further confession: me, too. I tried peanut butter and pickles on a sandwich thanks to one of these threads, and now everyone thinks I'm a weirdo. And I tried the hot chocolate powder thanks to this thread. Spoilers: it's excellent with both peanut butter and cookie butter.
I, too, am apparently easy to sway.
I definitely thought the "spoilers" sentence was going to end with "peanut butter and pickles," and I was afraid.

OMG I did this today. I only had one Apple fritter bc it was HUGGGGEEEE It's not work bothering me but I ATE IT!!! IT WAS GOOD!!!! AND I LOGGED IT now my whole day is shot
Twas not worth it but I am an emo eater. I needed to be comforted by the goodness that is an apple fritter.0 -
Bah, this is terribly embarrassing, and I feel like I will regret posting it on here.
I have a horrible addiction with sugar, and it seems to control me the way gambling or psychoactive drugs control behavior and cravings, but...I work for Starbucks in a Safeway, and we have a garbage can container of organic wastes, so before we throw out all the foods into the organic waste, the plastic wrappers or packing is removed.
I opened up the organic bin to dump some food in there and I noticed it was sky high with whole sized Nestle's caramel bars...so I stole two bars and put it in my barista apron.
I frickin' picked out chocolate from some trash can.
They've done studies on animals with sugar and cocaine and the animals went for the sugar over the coke EVERY SINGLE TIME. So don't feel too bad.0 -
I wasn't hungry and didn't feel like eating anything this morning.
Ate a lot of rice anyway and now I feel disgusting.

I have 2 problems emo eating and emo shopping.
It started last night with fiber one cookies and mrs frields cookies. I ate 3 of each. I figure they balanced each other out. DONT JUDGE ME LOL
Today I first chose to emo eat and stopped short a full day binge. I had and apple fritter and for lunch I went to Victorias Secret and bought a bikini.
I didnt look at the price but I had a limit of $100 the total on a bikini bottom and top was $105.97 I got a free gift with it a beach tote. I will not rationalize it with a beach tote I prolly wont use. It is too much but damn it my boobs didnt get the lift they need in this top. I put it on and I felt great buying it is in the budget so I'm gonna ride that high and have something to feel good about and something to remind my self look in the mirror, DO NOT RUIN WHAT YOU'VE WORKED FOR BC UR STReSSED.
Dresses and bikinis make me happy. Half the dresses and Bikinis I have still have the tags on them not bc I cant fit them just bc I havent worn them yet. I have a problem. I know this.0 -
Going on 6pm and only now have time to eat lunch. Thinking this will count as one of those "accidental IF" days.0
