Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I have short term will power.. If I don't see close to instant progress or have someone motivate me to keep going other than myself, I will just give up for awhile, get depressed and there goes a extra 15lbs from eating my sorrows away..

I go to bed hungry some nights.

These are some confessions about the last couple of months.
a) I sneaked out and went to the supermarket just to buy a bag full of sweets and snacks (white chocolate bar, milk chocolate bar, bag of chips, two containers of ice cream, croissant) and ate it all in one sitting when I got back home.
b) I hid my food stacks from everybody.
c) When I went to get cookies or bread with cheese in the middle of the night I held my breath in order to be as quiet as possible so that nobody would wake up from my scavenger hunt through the kitchen.
d) I ate other people's snacks and didn't say anything when they wondered where half of the food went.
It's pretty bad, I know.

Remember that Seinfeld episode, where George is at a party and he sees a half eaten eclair in the trash (on a paper plate, not touching any other trash) and he takes it out and eats it?

I've done that.

I forgot to brush my teeth this morning. Realized when I was about halfway to work and I'm feeling pretty gross...

This happened to me once, and it was enough to traumatize me. I now keep a toothbrush (several actually), a tube of toothpaste, floss pics and a bottle of mouthwash in my drawer at work. I always have floss and mouthwash in my bag too for whenever I am not home.....

I know everyone does what works for them, but I don't like that people don't input their weight gains. It's part of the process; you're not always going to lose. I do it because I want to be completely honest with myself. I can look at the date/week of the gain and see where I went wrong. I gained 1.4 lbs last week because I ate like crap all week. I was disappointed in myself, but I put it in anyway. Now, I'm back to where I was two weeks ago. That misstep pushed me do better this week.

I look at it differently. I never have gains from overeating. They're from water. I can easily add 5-10 lbs of water in a few days, then lose it again a few days later. Posting a 6 lb loss twice a week seems dishonest, and counterproductive. I'd rather stick to what I know are actual fat losses, so I can keep adjusting my macros accurately.

Same here. But I'll update my weight if my lowest one month is higher than my lowest the previous month (I'm mostly maintaining at this point). Because then I know it's a real weight gain (I'm guessing this month, probably).


My kids wanted to try the Halloween cake molds that my mom brought them. So I volunteered to help them make little chocolate cakes, you know, to make sure my recipe was good. But somehow it didn't give me enough of a chocolate fix (WTF?) and I went and had a Lindt chocolate afterwards. I'm hopeless.

(Also, little cake molds are cute, but frankly useless for cakes that rise. Is there even such thing as a recipe for cupcakes that don't rise?).

3. Non-weight loss: I've complained for months and months on end about my brother's cat... But when he's not around, I treat the cat like he's my child, and show him bundles of love and feed him even though i refuse to feed him when anyone else is around(it's my brother's cat, he should feed him)... And then complain about the cat when my brother's home... I think this is due from the fact that I wanted a cat for years, and was always told "no", but my brother brings a kitten home, and it's suddenly cool... Not.

Sometimes it just happens that way.....you can't take it personally. My daughter asked for a cat for YEARS and I always said no because I did not want a cat. Last July my friend found a five week old kitten abandoned outside and asked me to keep her overnight as her older cat is aggressive.....the cat is still here. LOL

My daughter left for Uni in the fall, she was not impressed that she asked for a cat forever and then we got one five weeks before she left for school. It was not planned, it just happened....it really had nothing to do with her, and more to do with this kitten that stole our hearts......

As a parent, I would find it odd that you wanted a cat for so long, and now its in the house and you complain about it. It would make me feel like you do not know what you want, and glad I did not get you a cat if you are only going to complain about it......

I'm confused about why you have a guy in your avatar if you're a girl.

I hate social events though so I totally get it.

It's meme from MTV. Where celebrities read outloud the mean things people tweet about them. The guy is a rapper named Big Sean

I assumed this whole time you were the guy in the picture......

I gave up chocolate for Lent this year and its been REALLY hard.....I cannot wait until Easter, I am going to have a large piece of chocolate for dessert that night!!

I really don't know how to do this weightloss thing. Like I workout and try to keep track of what I eat but it's just not going anywhere. In fact it seems to be going in reverse. I'm not as strong as I used to be.
