Good for you!0 -
I haven't lost any weight in the past 2 months. I keep eating just a little too much rubbish. I know full well where I'm going wrong but keep repeating myself. How frustrating.

On occaising, I behave myself and log everything down to a tea, that is until I eat something that I know is going to completely blow my calories out of the water, then I just stop logging.0

I can't believe I shared that.
You're not alone. I do okay with peanut butter but my FIL used to eat a jar a week, sometimes more. Just with a spoon or sit with a loaf of bread and go to town. He now only buys the small jars once a month.
My confession: I've been lifting consistently for a little bit and have been hungry but I've been admittedly eating too much and just telling myself its an "extended bulk" to add muscle. I've been gaining but am leveling off finally and getting ready for some loss.

I shed a tear or two. He's been such an integral part of my growing up. His books are my go-to for when I need to retreat from the world. The world is a sadder, dimmer place for his passing.
His books got my dyslexic brother into reading when he had completely given up being literate. Very sad that such a bright light has gone to shine elsewhere but at least he isn't suffering anymore.0 -
I confess it's Friday night and I'm super sad that the troll thread in the Introduce Yourself section just got deleted because I had so many hilarious .gifs to post.0

And now I'm happy because he came back and I still had the URL for the last gif copied, so I could respond super quick!!
I have no life. No life at all.0 -

It's disgusting. I tried it. Don't go there!
My confession: I haven't been in the gym all week and only got one run in on Monday. I have a 10K race tomorrow that I downgraded from a half-marathon because I didn't train enough.

Same! I wear M shirts now and it freaks me out. I pick out a L at the store, try it on & I'm swimming in it.
Pretty crazy that I used to have to try on XLs to make sure they were't too tight...

I get really annoyed with anyone using "my" treadmill at the gym.0

I'm like this with my parking space at work.
Confession: My husband went to one of my favorite fast food places for lunch yesterday and I told him I hated him. I was only half joking. I've asked him not to go to two specific places for lunch because they are my favorite and if he goes at lunch, he won't want to go for dinner or on the weekend. The places are Chick-fil-A and Firehouse Subs. Is it too much to ask that he not go to 2 places when he goes to lunch every freakin' day and I don't go but once every 2 weeks or so?! And neither of those places are close enough for me to make it to and back and still have time to eat.

Careful! This is a sure fire way to burn yourself out. Or risk injury. You don't have to overwhelm yourself with changes or make it complicated. Just start by making one meal per day healthier. Then build on that. You'll find that once your body has the correct fuel in the right amount workouts are much easier and you'll feel so much better. I know you didn't ask for advice, so feel free to ignore of course.0 -

I feel like this when my husband goes to Chipotle without me. It is like betrayal.0 -
Confession: I just had to use the bathroom at work and was genuinely sad that I had already weighed in for the week.0

Yes! I'm at the gym 5 days a week at about the same time every time, and it drives me batty when I have to use a random other treadmill. Don't they realize I like watching Wheel of Fortune? lol...
Confession: There was this kid on the treadmills yesterday that upped his speed from 5.5 to 12.5 and I sat there and watched because I was sure he was going to go flying off the back. The mean person in me was a little disappointed he didn't. I'm terrible.0 -

He knows the rules. I'd go to your favorite place anyways. It's not your fault HE went there. YOU didn't get to go there yet, therefore he has to go again. Maybe he shouldn't have gone in the first place. If I were you, I'd throw a stink about it.0 -
I had a strong chocolate craving yesterday, and a limited selection available. I wound up eating 3 Fiber One bars, and am regretting it in a bad way today.0

I just feel cheated, because I already weighed in and had breakfast >_<

This marks the very first time on my MFP merry go round that I have logged fast food. Before I was very concerned and embarrassed that people would see my fast food and judge me harshly and laugh about how uncommitted and weak I am. Then I realized no one really gives a crap, and logged it in, and it helps immensely being honest somewhere about what goes into my body.
I used to eat fast food in my car, in back alleys where no one would see me. It is an addiction that I have to fight every single time I get paid. I am thinking about fast food right now, and wanting it badly, but I know if I have it, then I will quit the journey again.
It feels like a confession.. even if I am working on it0 -
I can't have any junk food in my house. I will eat it.... all of it... Even if it means an entire bag of chips in a sitting or two. My enormous appetite sniffs that stuff out. Meanwhile my bf can eat one cookie and save the rest for a week or two later. what the serious eff0

Good for you - sounds like that was hard to admit. If you're really craving something, why not work it into your day? Walk into the fast food joint (don't drive through). Order what will fit into your calorie allowance. Sit down and eat it like a normal person. No need for shame or hiding in alleys. No need for a binge.ButBurgersAreDelicious wrote: »This marks the very first time on my MFP merry go round that I have logged fast food.

I used to double up on the meals and sit in my car to eat all of it. Congrats on facing your food honestly.0
. I was incredibly lucky to have a friend introduce me to his books. They are pretty amazing.
