Another confession: There's a guy in my office, Mr. Foot Shuffler, the guy I want to throat punch, that pronounces Missouri, Miss er uh. Like with an "a" at the end. It irks me a lot more than it should but every time he says it, the throat punch urge becomes really strong with me.
Much like @tincanonastring I overreact to insignificant things.
Ditto. This is the story of my life. Big, huge crisis? Fine. I can handle it. Pen clicker? I will stab your eyeballs out with the pen. Popping gum on the treadmill next to me? I will shove you off the machine. (good thing this is the confession thread; I sound terrible!)0 -
My boyfriend of two years and the father of my son's decided he couldn't be happy with me (Sex stopped a year ago, his decision) and he finally ended it with me a couple weeks ago, (what a coincidence the day before I started my weight loss journey), anyways. We still live together until I can move out (My choice to leave because I couldn't stand the thought of watching him walk out). Anyways we went to dinner last night to discuss how we're going to share the kids. Anyways we ended up talking about our relationship and he was just saying what he thought I wanted to hear which was a trigger so I overate. On the way home we started arguing about it and when we got back to the house I made myself throw up because I knew I had overate and felt horrible then cried myself to sleep.
Confession: Had a binge. Made myself throw up. Am throwing myself a pity party online because my real life friends suck.0 -

So sorry your husband is an a@@, Stay strong and think about how much he is going to wish he had not made the decision to give you up when you are smoking hot again! I cannot say I know what you are going through (been married to a wonderful man that has accepted me in all my forms for 33 years) but I do know that this will make you stronger. I would be getting out of his house as soon as possible so you can move forward with the next chapter of your life and hopefully with a man that deserves a strong woman like you.0 -

Wow. Sorry you're dealing with that. I would have left a year ago when the sex stopped, personally, but I've been called heartless.
You will become stronger like the PP said. I have not put up with that type of garbage for years and years.0 -
There is a Weight Watchers in my neighborhood that I often pass on my walks, and although there is absolutely no indication that this is true; I always feel like the employees are watching me walk by and thinking about how I need to get in there and sign up.0

shamrock shakes! Luckily they contain no calories since I am of irish heritage. also guiness and potatoes are "free" foods for me as well.
I've heard you burn more calories digesting them, then they contain if you're Irish. Negatives Calories do exist! I'm only 1/4 Irish so I'm not sure if that means I only count 1/4 of the calories or what? I'm going to have to do more research.

I am irritated that my gym (a small one at my workplace) is closed for 3 days and 2 of those 3 days are my normal strength training days! I suppose they really do need to replace the flooring, but why could they not do it on the weekend instead of on my days?0

There was this running gag about that pronunciation in Calvin Trillin columns (which I used to read collections of when in my early teens, also Mike Royko). I have a good friend from St. Louis and another friend and I like to use that pronunciation sometimes to bug her. It always makes me happy, because I am a bad person.
My when-I-wanted-to-kill-someone-once story about pronunciation of place names is when I lived in northern Mass and was making a plane reservation with a travel agent to go visit a friend in Louisville, KY. The travel agent acted as if she couldn't understand what I was saying (Loueeville? Lou-ah-ville?) and then made a huge point of correcting my perfectly proper pronunciation of the city: "oh, you mean LeWISville." No, it is NOT Lewisville, and you shouldn't be a travel agent, you idiot.
On the other hand, I love crazy US renditions of places named after foreign cities, like Cairo, IL, and all the various places named Versailles.0 -

The problem, sadly, isn't one that can be resolved in a night. I don't know if anyone else is in an interracial relationship, and normally, I don't even think about it, but issues have come up recently with his friends not appreciating my whiteness being involved with him. And I've finally had a tiny taste of what he has had to deal with for a very long time, and it's opened up my eyes, and makes me realize how selfish I can be about some things. But the issue for me, is I don't bring that stuff home. I never make racial jokes, or comment, but he is forever joking around every time we have a difference in opinion and says it is because I am white. I feel like he is putting a big space between us by bringing those types of comments into our relationships. Like he is highlighting a meaningless difference. (Not meaningless in the world in general it seems, but in terms of our relationship)
And that was a whole lot more personal and ranting than I wanted it to be. SORRY! To stay on topic, confession wise: Sometimes I think I would be happier if I just stayed huge. Because when you're bigger people don't notice anything about you except your weight. And that is comfortable, because it is like a disguise.
I was in a relationship with a guy of another race and he was forever pointing out differences & making comments about it, things I never would've even noticed or thought of. I felt the same way you do, like he was putting a big space between us over something that shouldn't have mattered. We weren't together for a long time so I'll never know if it would've become an issue (he had some other major issues that led to us breaking up!) but it was eye opening for me.
I hope you two can work it out!
That sucks.I confess that I haven't read the most recent Stephen King books, even though I've read all the others (agreed about the Stand... end kinda sucked, but I still loved that book). To be honest, I read them all pretty much in a year when I was 14 so I've forgotten most of them...
I did like Firehouse Sub, but a medium was not enough for me (I got the New York Steamer without mayo on wheat). So I went home and finished last night's shepherd's pie too. That's what happens I guess when you're up at 4.30am and have breakfast at 6am because you're starving.
Confession - I actually feel sad for people who are so proud to be 'clean eating'. I kinda pity them because they deprive themselves of delicious foods for no reason. I always feel obligated to reply that I've lost 80 pounds eating 'bad' food.
I'm glad you got to try it. I really like it. Would you go back? Maybe try something different, the hero, or hook and ladder. I never finish my whole sandwich because I devour my chips and most of my 32 oz. Dr. Pepper. Glad you tried it and like it though.
I might go back. I don't know. I'm a bread snob and I'd rather have a good old baguette on my subs I guess... plus it would probably be more filling.
My confession is that someone mentioned on another thread that grilled cheese sandwiches is the first thing they learned how to cook... I have no idea how to make a grilled cheese. Quite sure that when I tried, it was burned outside and the cheese wasn't melted enough.
Grilled cheese was literally the first thing all 4 of my kids learned to cook and I can remember my oldest cooking the thing on like 8 out of 10 heat. Just like you described, black outside, half-melted cheese at best inside. On our electric range, the perfect heat is 4-5 out of 10 (medium heat) and it takes about 4 minutes the first side, 2.5-3 on the second to make perfect, golden brown grilled cheese. The kids like theirs less toasted, so it's more like 3 and 3 minutes.
That was me. I used to babysit my younger sister in the summers and I'd make grilled cheese for her and several of her friends (and myself, of course). Loved it. We had a perfect square pan for making 4 at a time.0 -
Bumped into my ex while jogging on the trail last night.
I must confess that my super ridiculously petty self was THRILLED that he did a double take when he saw me (I'm down 28 lbs and 17% of my BW since the break up) and that he was not looking so hot (guessing he's put on 20 lbs since the break up).0 -

Welcome, my friend. I'm so glad you joined us. Now, do yourself a favor, if you haven't already, read the last 179 pages to this thread. You can thank me later...with cookies or cake.
Haha! I'll get right on that. NEW CONFESSION: I just lied to my best friend about reading these posts. I'm a terrible person. 0 -

I love that some of you are actually teaching your kids to cook. I'm always astounded at how many of my thirty-something-year-old friends can't cook. Not everyone needs to be producing Masterchef-winning meals every night but I think it's a pretty essential, basic life skill to be able to roast some vegetables in the oven or throw an omelette together or grill some chicken. It's pretty damn hard to handle feeding yourself properly if instant ramen is the peak of your culinary abilities.0

I overestimate my protein/meat intake on a daily basis I'm pretty sure. And before you start making "meat" jokes, I'm 100% serious. I weighed out what I thought had to be over 4 oz. of a boneless chicken breast the night before last only to discover, it was barely over 2 oz.
Confession: I'm terrible at this "estimating my food intake" thing. I think I'm eating more than I do, yet I'm not loosing (just kidding) any weight and my waist doesn't seem to be getting smaller and I'm starting to get pretty fed up with the whole thing. If it were not for my muscle definition starting to show and grow, I'd give up.
Have you taken measurements to find out for sure? A lot of the time we can't see changes in the mirror. Measurements & progress photos are the only way I really see changes.
@ShibaEars I didn't take any measurements when I started last May, but I sure wish I would have. I took some last week, didn't write them down because I'm a total idiot, but my stomach doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. My BF is decent, I think, at 21.8% as of this morning, but my stomach is always distended like I'm always bloated. It's very disheartening.

That's a very common pronunciation of Missouri, especially for people who live in the Ozarks.
I get it though, I want to throw my laptop through the window every time I see "Your" used instead of "You're". It's incredibly common. I have no idea how people get away with this and have jobs.
Oh, now you got me started: to instead of too, loose instead of lose, there instead of their, your instead of you're (I know you already said this) These are all big issues for me, I can't stand seeing this ignorance. I know sometimes it is just a typo but it still drives me nuts.
Confession: I correct spelling in emails before I reply or forward them.

And Eck-spresso? I hate "supposably" instead of supposedly. One that always makes me giggle is I've heard of someone using "excrucianating"
