Also I'm the girl standing next to you at the grocery some in front of the freezer for that amount of time, for that exact reason. If I could have it my way it would be wine chips and ice cream! LOL0 -
I love melted salted butter.

Confession: I can't tell my family (beside boyfriend) that I am eating healthier and exercising. They would make fun of me, when I being up the subject.0

I feel like a cheat about my profile pictures (here, on FB etc.) because they are so flattering and sometimes when I look in the mirror or a glass window I look like a total different person.
It´s like I have two faces (depending on my mood or whatever) or when looking in a mirror sometimes my brain tricks me into only seeing my chocolate side automatically and only sees the most benefical things about my face in the best light...half an hour later in a window or even worse on a picture others made it´s completely different.
My question/fear: which face do others see? The good mood or the bad mood one? Am I seeing myself more attractive when I am feeling good or am I seeing myself uglier when I am in a bad mood? What the hell do I look like?
Shall I go and see a therapist? :-D
I look vastly different in photos than in real life, but in the opposite direction -- I look significantly better (I hope!!) in the flesh than I appear in photos.
And I don't think it's entirely wishful thinking on my part because I've had people look at photos of me and ask, "Who's that?" or squint at it and say in disbelief, "That's YOU?"
A lot of it is just down to lighting and angle anyway... incandescent light is more flattering than fluorescent, dim light even better, lol.
Plus onlookers are viewing you through their own filters anyway, so they're not getting a neutral perspective.
No therapist required.
I read somewhere that if you saw yourself, really saw yourself, you wouldn't recognize you. You don't actually know what you look like because you've only seen pictures or reflections. That kind of blew my mind and I wonder if it's true that I wouldn't recognize myself through different eyes.
I don't recognize the person my SO claims to see through his eyes, apparently she's MUCH better-looking than I've ever seen myself... that's as close as I can get.
Or he's delusional. Lol.
I think mine is. That or I just got really lucky.0 -

No worries. You can color grey.
My poor son is 20 and has been going bald for a year. His hair is half gone.
I started finding grey hairs when I was 23. The worst part is I can't colour my hair, it won't hold any dye and ends up looking like straw within a couple weeks (doesn't matter if it's permanent, demi- or semi-permanent). The most recent time I did try to colour it, it didn't cover the grey anyway.
Aw, dang.
I've been coloring my hair since I was in my late 20's. I'm 41 now and have no idea if there's any grey under there or not. I don't wanna know!
i was 10 yr old when i got my first grey hairs. woke up one morning with a big patch of grey, from root to tip, about 4 inch long and inch wide. got a bit of stick at school for that but not too much.
been getting steadily greyer ever since, although now at 42 i am about 50% grey.0 -

Confession to add to the redhots lunch above^^. I sometimes eat Lemon Heads in place of a meal. Don't necessarily plan to replace the meal with them, but once I've hit the 200 calorie mark I figure I might as well.

Side note: Sometimes I think I look pretty decent in the mirror then I go to take a picture and I look like a double-chinned troll. I hate mirrors and cameras. They're pathological liars.
Well I don't know about that. I have an identical twin sister... and the first thing that caught me off guard when I lost weight is how much I looked like her (she was thinner than me, now it's the other way around).
But maybe it's different when you grow up with a double of yourself.
So I have to ask, does your SO find your sister attractive? I think I would find that a bit odd.0 -
Straight.... I will be making rotis for my husband, and butter it with the whole stick and I'll lick the top. I'll also heat a pan, butter it with the stick and lick the melted butter on the top of the butter stick. I hope that makes sense. It's bad....0 -

Excellent question. He answered like I expected him to - smirking and not saying anything.0 -
Sorry forum lagged out and posted twice somehow.
Oh and I spent another $23 at the Lindt store. Now I have $85 of chocolate to eat by October, I think. I might have to share.0 -
I sobbed when I heard about Terry Pratchett. For hours. If you look on his Facebook page at the comments under the announcing of his passing there is an amazing tribute about five comments down. I ate all the chocolate in the house last night while my kids rubbed my back. I grew up reading his books.0

I spent $140 on tea yesterday. (And didn't even consider asking my husband. He doesn't care)0

Confession: I want BZAH10's shoulders. Well, I want a matched set of the one that shows in her avatar, lol.
However, in reality, it is unlikely that I have the self-discipline or the perseverance to do what it takes to accomplish that. Sigh.
Why, THANK YOU! I sincerely appreciate the compliment! The thing is, my shoulders are the easiest body part for me to sculpt, so I kind of (probably) over do it, just because I like seeing the results. Also, when I watch TV at night I sit on the floor and stretch and I keep 2 3 lb. dumbells next to me and do all kinds of shoulder exercises: arm circles (forward & backward), up & down presses, several others that I have no name for (sorry!) but I've found using the super light weight and high reps works really well.
Genius! I am getting 3lb weights tomorrow I have pathetic weak shoulders and have no reason I can't work em when I am watching a tV show... I just always thought of using heavier weights doh!0 -
I'd love to ride bikes for exercise, but I don't know how! I never learned how to ride a bike and I feel like I'm too old to learn now lol0

I have been on a food bender for the past few days. I'm having a lot of trouble getting back on track. I'm so disappointed and ashamed of myself right now. 0

Same. I don't even track my calories on here because I don't cook for myself, so weighing my meals would be really inconvenient. I mainly like to use this site to track my progress, since it's much simpler than, say, creating an Excel spreadsheet.0 -

Exactly! My SO refused to believe I wore 32C until I told him it was the same cup size as 36A. WhIch used to be my size until I abandoned the old "add 5 inches" formula and now my bras fit much better.
I feel so much better saying I'm a 32C lol, but they're even more difficult to find than 36A.
I confess that I'm 30 years old & bra sizing still confuses me.
Band size = inches around your rib cage, right under your boobs
Cup size = 1 letter for every inch bigger your chest measurement is in comparison to your band size.
So 32C = You measure 32 inches right under your boobs, 35 inches around your chest
36A = 36 inches right under your boobs, 37 inches around your chest
Not all bra makers play by these rules, but that's how it's supposed to work so says the all powerful Google
Confession: Despite a lifelong fascination with boobs, this is the very first time I've ever seen bra sizing explained.
^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^
Tincan captured my thoughts perfectly!!0 -

Nonsense! This is actually a really common question on one of the bike message boards I frequent. Here's a thread with some personal experiences and "how-tos" buried in it. It will definitely help to pick the right kind of bike--something old and beat-up with upright handlebars and thick tires, like a mountain bike or cruiser.
Learning to ride a bike as an adult
And honestly, if you have a local bike shop and can swallow your embarrassment/pride to ask, I bet the dudes and gals who work there would LOVE to teach you how to ride.

I had some ice cream and chocolate for breakfast (to make up for the incredibly overrated overnight oatmeal I started with).0

I LOVE this thread!
Confession #1: I have read everyone else's confessions (seriously, I've read this entire thing!)
Confession #2: I poop at work - not even ashamed. Girls gotta go when a girls gotta go!
Confession #3: I live in England, therefore I have no idea what half of the treats are that you guys love so much, but I REALLY want to try them!
Yes the amount of times I have to google something that's been mentioned on this site lol

I'm normally very honest about my portions but last week I decided to have a serving of peanut butter 2 tablespoons as a late evening snack...well instead of using my measuring spoon I grabbed a regular tablespoon and had it heaping over, and only logged the 1 serving

Dude, don't hate me for this, but grab yourself a kitchen scale and weight out a serving of PB, then weigh out what your normal amount is using the measuring spoon. I'm so, so, so sorry.0 -
Holy cow, where do I begin?! I'm in remission but here's what I used to do:
I had two bathroom scales, I weighed myself on both of them first thing after bathroom in the morning AND last thing before pj's at night. "Accurate weight for the day" was the average of four numbers.
I logged my "new weight" when I've actually reached a pound or two below it. (Still do that)
I also claim the bathroom scale weight doesn't tell half of the story.
I have had my own cooking devices (frying pan, Tupperware boxes...) and no one was allowed to use them in my house in fear of remaining fat in it. I didn't trust the dish-washer.
I spent many months with indelible ink in several points of my body to remember the exact spots where to measure myself for inches loss.
I almost permanently damaged my metabolism by following the stupid, dangerous 'Dukan Diet' for NINE MONTHS! FYI, no fruits, no sugar, no fat at all. For nine months.

Are these the same thing as Red Hots? Because I just ate $0.75 worth of these from the little machine down the hall. Now I'm all shaky from too much sugar.
Nope. Hot Tamales are the chewy ones. They are equally delicious, though!0 -

I've done that too. "Oooo. I've got 140 calories left. Perfect time for candy!"
