Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

My confession is that I threw away the homemade cupcakes my stepmother gave me because I didn't know how to log the calories.1
-
I confess that I'm feeling a little stabby towards my 100-pound co-worker who is happily munching on Wendy's fries and a burger while my stomach is loudly protesting. It's not her fault, and I'm glad she can literally eat what she wants without worry... but it would be so much easier if I didn't work in an office of stick-thin women who love crappy food (that smells soooo good...)
I keep telling myself that they don't taste as good as they smell, because honestly fast food never does.0 -

It gets it off my mind for the time being and keeps me on track knowing that if I still want it, I can have it for my weekend cheat meal. I've found that eating clean all week when it finally comes time to cheat, I don't even want that bad food as much as I thought I would and can keep the portions under control pretty easily. Works for me anyway.
That's what I do, too. Makes it easier to stay on track during the week knowing I can eat it sometime during the weekend if I want to, and like you said, by that time I'm not even craving it as much as I thought I was lol.

I manage a warehouse as part of my other duties as assigned portion of my job, and I have one guy that (instead of calling or god for bid emails) someone will walk to their desk/office to let them know that he'll be bringing their requested items to them at a later time.
I can't manage stupid. I really can't.0 -
I just put both my boys down for a nap and am craving my addiction food (cake) so badly. I don't have any in the house and I put the kids down for a nap because I will not wake them up to drag them to the store. I am considering my options of what on hand I have to curb my sweet tooth. I have single pack cookies, one more jello temptation cheesecake... Christmas candy... chocolate milk. Ugh.... ANY quiet cardio I can do instead?0

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.
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.
It only bothers me when it's someone who is simultaneously trying to correct someone else's grammar (or more often, their "grammer"). I have a few friends really bothered by it, so I confess I'll occasionally post something to their fb like:
I'm so threw with you're getting sew upset with how people should of spelled they're when they mean their, like those too houses over thataway.
It's usually the "should of" that pushes them over the edge.
I used to have a boss like this. She was a horrible, lying, racist wench anyway, but her ignorant grammar corrections made me twitch. She was constantly correcting memos and sending them back around with her edits, but she would say "mute point" and "I seen" constantly. Rawr!
My boss just used the non-existent word "conversating". It took me remembering I would like to keep my job and paycheck to NOT correct her. Now, had it been my mom that said it, I wouldn't have even hesitated.

OK, maybe so, but I hate it when people send a simple question via email when they are sitting in the office next door. You can't take 10 steps and ask me in person? I already get too much email.0 -
I'm sad that I never even peeked into that one. I just snorted at the title and figured it was a typo and would quickly spiral out of control like all the low carb ones tend to. What happened?jennifershoo wrote: »I'm so sad that the Crab thread got deleted. That was the Best Thread Ever.
The best collection of seafood-related diet puns ever. That thread should have been stickied, not deleted.
I didn't feel like people were making fun of the OP, they were just HAVING fun.0 -

Well, did she say that to you? That she never watches what she eats?
I mean, none of my co-workers knew me when I was hideously obese (peak BMI was around 45) and the vast majority still don't know I ever was. My BMI was about 26.1 when I started and has since dropped to 22.3. I could sit around and eat a burger and fries, but I would definitely make sure it fit into my calorie budget for the day. I just don't get to eat whatever I want with reckless abandon and stay 'thin'. You never get to rest on your laurels with this stuff, unfortunately.
I think there is a lot of assuming going on that this person is eating the same quantities of food as you did before you started dieting and somehow magically staying thin. I can assure you, nothing could be more wrong. You could be watching her eat the only real meal of her day right now. Watching Supersize Vs. Superskinny really set me straight about this and got rid of that particular piece of fatlogic.

Back away from the kitchen and nobody gets hurt!! Go do some crunches, situps, squats or if you have a kettle bell - do some kettle bell swings. Your body will thank you later. If nothing else, eat a piece of fruit, it will help with a sweet craving usually.0 -

For the effort, of walking to someone to tell them he'll bring it later, he could have just taken the item.0 -

Walk / march in place and do arm circles or move them like you are doing jumping jacks. The moves will be quiet but it will get your heart rate up! Plus, if you keep doing this every time you crave sweets you will create a new habit: crave a sweet? move your body instead. You can do it!0 -

Oh my. Is he new? Or been there too long and/or doesn't like technology? Or is he just one of those people that HAVE to be interacting and talking to people at all times? Either way, I empathize with your frustration.0 -

Ah, gotcha. I read it to mean that the requested item wasn't available yet. LOL
I'm in distribution, it's usually silly to walk all the way to somebody's office for anything. If they are managing their people, they shouldn't be in there during the shift.0 -

My favorites are actually the yellow ones. I don't care for the red ones... that's for Haribo, though, I don't like starbust or Swedish fish...lakersfan89 wrote: »I just put both my boys down for a nap and am craving my addiction food (cake) so badly.

Well, in my experience... Have some cake. Because you'll eat chocolate milk, candy, jello to get rid of the craving... and it won't work... and in the end you'll end up having all that plus the cake you were craving in the first place. So look up a recipe for a single serving of cake, or go buy a single serving of cake somewhere, eat it, have a light dinner, and move on. Or if not today, make room for it in your day tomorrow... or the next day. But don't eat other things just helping it will help... it won't, and will just add extra calories than you wouldn't have eaten otherwise.
Seriously. I give myself 200ish calories (ok sometimes 300) to use on what I'm craving. I haven't binged once since I stopped restricting myself.
So I sticked to my plan for lunch... except I had an appetizer, and it was definitely not the healthiest... duck mac and cheese croquettes. Totally worth it though (probably 450 calories worth, I had 3 out of 5).0 -

He's a nice guy, I don't think he gets a lot of intelligent conversation at home.0 -
I don't log my beverages most days. Usually its water and noncaloric diet pop but every once in awhile its something with calories and I still don't log it.0

Yes, that thing should have been preserved! I didn't feel she was being made fun of either, but I don't think she ever came back and I was concerned she'd leave MFP altogether. Hope not.0 -
Yes. Red is the best of any candy, everyone knows that.
ugh...people...green. Green gummy bears, green apple jolly ranchers, sour apple dumdums...go green! Unless it's a sucker from Frisch's Big Boy or a popsicle, then go orange. After that comes purple. Then red. But never blue or yellow.0 -

Confession: our local grocer used to stock bags of jolly ranchers that were all green apple. I would get them and keep several in my pocket at all times like an old man with peppermints.
I'm still sad they no longer carry the green only bag.0 -
I was at work and had to make a choice, a small red Laffy Taffy or one of those 2 pack Starburst, I really wanted Starburst. I said "watch it be freaking yellow or orange". I opened the wrapper and I got 2 yellow ones. Everyone laughed at me
That's the saddest story I've ever heard...

I starved myself on Saturday so I could go out and get wasted. Then ended up going to jack in the box anyways....I love those damn tacos!0

So I was already over my goal after lunch so I had a Lindt truffle, just because 'at this point 80 calories isn't going to make a difference'.0
