    Confession: every time I see someone refer to their "weight loss journey" I want to set something on fire.

    LOL. I loved how people started calling Courtney from The Biggest Loser "Journey" because that's all she talked about.

    After a week of being sick and ravenous eating, I'm at my heaviest since July, 235.2.

    Also, I've been measuring my brown rice wrong, it says a serving size is 1 1/2 cups 146g, well I was measuring the 1 1/2 cups and sticking to that, which is like twice as much as 146g is. So I measured out 146g and I'll be going with that from here on out.

    I bought a scale today and weighed my cereal. Who knew there was such a difference! Well, a lesson learned for sure.

    I still sneak a smoke once in a awhile. UGGGG I know

    I sneak a smoke every now and again. I don't see any problem with it. I used to be a half-pack a day smoker and so long as we don't defer back to our old habits, having one every few months (i mean 5-6, if that) isn't at all bad. I have been better lately and not even having one that frequently. Planning on keeping the trend going and being completely rid of them.

    If I have even one cigarette, I'm absolutely sure I'd be back up to a pack-and-a-half a day within a month. I had my last cigarette on July 31st, 2012 and it's only been in the last month or so that I've resigned myself to the fact that I will never, ever, ever be able to smoke one again.
    Good for you!!
    I think that's why, in some ways, quitting smoking is 'easier' than losing weight - because you can be absolute about it "I will never, ever...." whereas with food, you will always have to eat. It's such a slippery slope.
    I quit in June of 1986 and I still believe that I am one away from a pack a day. I haven't had that one in almost 29 years.

    Interesting.....I quit in January 1997, and I would not be able to smoke now if I wanted it. I can't even be around it, it makes me gag and I can't breathe. I can't believe I used to do that. I even would play an entire set of tennis with a cigarette hanging from my mouth!

    I have 450 calories left for dinner and I'm trying really hard to ignore the small voice in my head that keeps saying 'just one snack'... So I had a cup of black mocha nut coffee instead. And now I'm going to be up way too late tonight.

    I got decaf coffee specifically for this. It's not as good a cure as caffeinated coffee, but sleeping also stops those food cravings, so I want to do that sometime too. Also I'm a little bit of a coffee snob and am having trouble finding decaf coffee that tastes decent.

    I ate 6 cookies my husband made today. This makes me dissapointed because in all other aspects I am trying so hard. I got all my steps and jogged this morning but this totally blew my calorie goal for today.

    I hate mixing flavors when I eat. Typically I'll eat what I like the least first, until the last bite, then move on to something else, and finish with what I like the most. The only exception obviously are things with sauce, burritos, sandwiches, pizza, and some salads... And yeah I don't like it when foods touch either.

    Oh and I always eat the crust last in pies because it's my favorite part.

    I eat from the crust down, as it is my least favorite part lol

    I LOVE these confessions. They make me feel not as guilty or weird!
  • I take shots of straight lemon juice. It burns your throat, but it curbs your appetite pretty well :)

    I had a bunch of organic dried figs this morning. I did not log them, but I probably will later.

    This is the extent of my crazy food cheating. :)

    I confess I thought this was some sort of rude pun. Are you being clever or have I admitted my own terrible inner workings?

    Pun? I'm not seeing the joke. Explain it please!

    I love figs and dates, but they are really not something I should be eating. My body just cannot handle the carbs. Eating a cup of figs is about as close as I ever get to a binge.

    I guess some people don't understand the attraction. I love bacon wrapped dates, but I admit I really love fresh figs. I have a dwarf tree and eat all the figs off it. I don't share.

    I LOVE fresh figs. When I was a kid, my uncle had a fig tree. Fresh warm figs, right off the tree are, well, heaven!

    Watch your teeth if you're doing that often, it will screw up your enamel.

    I've pretty much taken February off food tracking and running. I've gained a few lbs back but it's not too bad and I'm determined to get back to the routine on Sunday

    I really hate tomatoes, especially cooked tomatoes. I used to let people know if they asked, then they'd serve lasagne or pizza and be all surprised when I just couldn't eat it because it's got tomatoes in and they make me wretch.

    So now I just tell people I'm allergic to them (I'm really not). Terrible but there's no other way to get people to accept I just don't like pizza.

    I tell people the same thing about Strawberries. I hate them. The smell... it even makes me queasy to see people eat them. I say I'm allergic because there is no way I can eat something that has them in it, or has even been touched by one (if I'm served a glass of champagne with a strawberry on it, I can't just pull it off, I can't even had the wine poured into a new glass, I have to give it away and buy a whole new glass that's never seen one).

    I feel the same way about mayo or mayo like sauces. I can't eat any food that has mayo on it or in it. Mayo to me is nothing, but a mouth full of disgusting.

    I can't even think about avocados. They're slimy, greasy, green, disgusting things disguised as food, LOL!

    Love to go fishing, can't fathom the idea of touching a fish and having to take it off the hook. Last time we went fishing, my wife had to take the fish of the hook for me.

    Today is my kids birthday and I ordered donuts at the local shop for their school party. I figured I'd buy one for me while I was at it, considering I had to go out at 7am in this freezing cold to buy them.

    I was up completely starving at 6.30am and pretty much had to have some food (PMS)... so I made something that typically fills me up for hours (two eggs and some refried beans), but there wasn't that much left in the can of beans so I finished it and ended up eating twice the serving I usually have. Then I went to get the donuts, and willpower failed and I bought myself two instead of one (the last two flavors I wanted to try from that shop).

    And that's how you eat 1000 calories for breakfast. For what it's worth, my stomach isn't too happy about two donuts for breakfast. But it was delicious and I'm definitely full now... and hopefully it lasts because I have 800 calories left today if I want to stick to my deficit...

    Oh and obviously there is cake tonight. Ice cream cake. Definitely won't fit in my day, but I'm probably going to end up eating at maintenance again...

    Confession: I talk to my dog like she's a person. And I sing songs to her all the time. Original songs about how awesome she is...

    My dog's name is Bagel and his theme song is "Who's That Bagel?" sung to the tune of Who's That Lady by the Isley Brothers.

    I sing to mine, too. His name is Tucker, but he gets called Woof or Tucker Woof about as often as he's called Tucker. His is: Old McTucker Woof had a farm eieio and on that farm he had a Tucker Woof eieio. With a woof woof here and a woof woof there, old McTucker Woof had a farm eieio.

    I want to confess about a judgement I made on a friend's status update, but I'm afraid she will see it and I don't want a confrontation.

    Yeah, I have to despoil anything I throw out because I want to eat it. So spray it with cleaner or ruin it with water, or tear it up and throw it in the bin unwrapped. Otherwise it's likely to be rescued in a later moment of weakness.

    Confession: I've watched so many British documentaries I use the word 'bin' as often as 'garbage' or 'trash' now.

    Probably because then is actually correct.

    If I'm over by just a few calories at the end of the day, I'll add in more of my exercise to keep the number green.

    I'm also done updating my weight on MFP, because it keeps dropping my calories and I'm too lazy to set it manually.

    I quick add calories to avoid diary entries like "Pringles, one tube."

    I seriously laughed out loud at the Pringles example. Sounds like me except Cheez it's are my weakness.

    Ok this is kind of cheap and silly, but I've lost enough weight so far that my boobs are disappearing. I don't want to buy new bras just yet so I'm thinking about stuffing them lol.

    Ah! Mah boobs! They're disappearing with a quickness. :-( I'm so sad about this. I went from a D at my highest weight to a meager B now. I've never been a fan of large breasts, but they HAD to have looked better than the sad sacks I sport now. Doesn't help that two crotchfruit sucked all the life out of them also. *sigh* Saving for a boob job, for sure. Just a lift. No implants.

    It took me a minute to figure out what crotchfruit were. That's hilarious. I'm going to use that one.

    Same here!
