I really loath a few of my clients and totally understand why they can't make friends and their teachers hate them.0

I am supposed to go to the gym now but I am stuck in the Pet Peeves at the Gym thread. It is a train wreck. We are much nicer here (judging, but nicely?)

I can't handle the attitudes on that thread!0 -
First, welcome to the thread! Second, I'm kind of the same way: I watch cooking shows all the time, but never get the urge to eat. I can "memory" eat. For example: when everyone was posting about doughnuts earlier I can just stop, distinctly remember what it felt and tasted like the last time I ate a doughnut and that's it for me. No need to actually eat one. I can do that with almost all foods. Then I just eat my regular meals and snacks as planned. I really have no cravings. (And I realize I'm fortunate for this.)[/quote]
I often think of super powers I might like to have. I have now added "memory" eating to the list.0 -
I don't like to respond to threads that already have a lot of posts because I have to read all of the other responses before responding. I'm glad I started reading this one on Day 1.0

The 'pet peeve gym' thread makes me happy I don't belong to a gym.

Confession: I almost got caught by my boss reading this thread.

Since I started counting calories I plan my meals and snacks days in advance so that I don't go over. I get cravings all the time, but doing a Google Image Search of what I'm craving does it for me. I'm glad I'm not the only weirdy!
Embrace the weirdness!!! Yeah, seriously, I am weird in a lot of ways and I've learned to be proud of it.0 -

I would have difficulty understanding why someone would want chocolate on something like, say, a nice fillet of baked salmon... but don't find bread weird in the slightest.
I take it you've never had a chocolate croissant?
And I love that two of your daughter's Nutellas are actually PC brand, lol.
And... just in case you're curious... the same store that carries PC hazelnut spread also has chocolate croissants in the bakeshop bulk area.

I feel like I'm so honest about our relationship and I gush about her all of the time, all of my friends and family know but she keeps me hidden because of the fact I'm female. None of her work friends know and she hasn't even told her so called best friend even though she's said she would and we've had countless arguments about it. The only people who know in her life are her 'lesbian friends' that are already out. It's starting to get to me now and I'm beginning to feel like she's ashamed of me. I just want to have a normal relationship...
This is a tough one. A year and a half is a long time to be stressed over hiding a relationship but I really do not feel as though she is ashamed of you but she is not ready for herself to be public yet. I feel for your frustration though. My best friend didn't tell me for years although I already knew and I smiled like I didn't know that she and her other 'best friend' did all these amazing things together were actually a couple. I just waited until she was ready. She was in her 30's when she finally told me and almost 40 when she told her mom. Hang in there...
Yes, this is good advice. I'm sorry you are dealing with this, noaddedsugarx, but I'd try to let her know how important this is to you without turning it into an argument and give it a little more time. I hope this all works out for you both soon.
Thanks to the both of you. The thing is apart from this issue we have an amazing relationship. We do talk about marriage and stuff. She's the first woman I've ever been with and it was hard for me to come out too. I know it's different for everyone but now I feel like I want everyone to know and I wish it was the same way for her too. It's hard too when I see tons of people at my age in happy relationships, a ton of people I know have got engaged. She tells me things about her friends and their partners even if it's that they are having problems or whatever and it just makes me feel like I'm so insignificant in her life that I don't even come up in her conversations.. I dunno I suppose I will just have to hang in there.
No additional advice, but good luck. Hopefully being around your friends and family helps your to feel more comfortable in her own skin.0 -

I do the same thing! I have google+ set up specifically for 'food porn' - i stare at things i could never eat and go though recipes (and sometimes even run them through MFP to prove to myself that it would be such a setback) but the experience of doing all that kind of does make me feel like I had experienced it!

Wife and I moved to FL about 2 1/2 years ago and people are constantly visiting us. Someone different is here literally every 4-6 weeks. I like them as people and enjoy time spent together, but I dread it because it disrupts the flow of my diet and workout routine. They often have a hard time understanding that unlike them, I'm not on vacation and still have to live my "normal" life. I try to take a day or two off work when we have visitors but I'd run out of PTO real quick if I wasn't careful about it, and then have no time for an actual vacation of my own.

First post here but serial lurker! I totally do this too. If I'm hungry at night and have run out of calories I just spend all evening on the internet looking at recipes I want to make and it doesn't bother me so much. And I watch shows like Masterchef and don't feel hungry either, just engrossed in what they are making.
Confession: I'm a vegetarian and hate cooking meat but I find it fascinating watching people on cooking shows cook meat and seafood and have often thought it looks delicious. Bit of a weird one I guess!

I just go...did you just call me honey? I literally did this the other day on a conference call. A guy called the women on the call girls and I stopped the call and called him out. I do this when people flush the toilet on calls too.
I find it worse when I'm the only female in the room, which is not unusual in my industry, and someone uses something like 'boys', I call them out every time.
I confess that my Chicago upbringing has instilled a bad habit of saying "you guys" all the time. It's like our "y'all", and it doesn't even occur to me that it's technically gender specific unless someone points it out. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm saying it.
I am Canadian, and have always said ya'll, I get picked on a lot for it
I am also Canadian and get picked on for saying "You's guys". I think it is a rural thing...maybe a Saskatchewan thing? After all, I did not know that "Bunnyhugs" were a Saskatchewan thing until this thread. Star whoosh - the more you know!0 -

Eeeh, non-stop company and house guests would annoy me. I'm thinking since it's only been 2 1/2 years maybe the visits will slow down. Or, maybe stop being available for house guests? It may backfire and they all may plan their yearly vacations at your house if not! Then again, I'm an introvert.
I'd definitely NOT change my diet or workout routine. They can work around it go sight-see or whatever. Apparently, I'm not a very flexible person either, time-wise.0 -

Diners, Drive-In's and Dives is food porn for me. It's not always top notch cuisine but most of the food looks pretty good to me.0

I think of "you guys" completely neutrally also (I'm in Chicago, for the record). I use it for mixed groups all the time and never thought about it. What am I going to call women, "gals"? I think not.
Boys would be different.
Once upon a time there was a judge here who was also in the military reserve, and he had a habit of referring to everyone in his courtroom as "men" (as in, "men, I expect everyone to cooperate in discovery!"). For some reason that never bothered me, I just found it comical.0 -
@amehh91 I guess my second confession is that I am a serial lurker. Lol! I find all the message boards informative and/or highly entertaining.
I have a vegetarian friend that loves to watch me cook, even with meat involved. If it's weird you're not alone.
Masterchef is good, but Masterchef junior is amazing! Those kids are incredible. I keep telling my 10 year old to cook me dinner, but she refuses. I tell her she needs to step up her game or she'll lose when I enter her into cooking competitions. For some reason this doesn't concern her.0 -

Why would a rabbit eat eggs? WHY?!?!?!
That thread is going to make my head explode.
What a strange thing. I confess I've never been to an easter egg hunt, I never left eggs out for the easter bunny either or santa for that matter
This was so weird. I honestly didn't think anyone actually believed in the Easter Bunny either. I'm sure it's no weirder than Santa (although rabbits eating hard boiled eggs just is, they eat carrots in childhood understanding!), but I just did not know about it.0 -
lemurcat12 wrote: »Another confession: an industry magazine with a photo of me looking pretty good (one of the first photos since I lost the weight) came out, which I've been waiting for. But it turns out a woman I used to work with who is the same age and has a similar resume as me for the first part of her career, but then went on to be way more successful, is on the cover and there's this great puff piece about her with lots of people I know and respect quoted with anecdotes about how amazing she is. I like this woman, and she deserves it, and I'm generally happy with my career and life (and not that ambitious most of the time, as demonstrated by the fact I'm screwing around here), but I'm currently jealous and kicking myself for being a lazy slug who consistently stepped on my own feet and squandered all my opportunities to be extremely impressive and successful like her.
It's stupid, and I know I have amazing good fortune and should just count my blessings and will get over it soon, but I want to go home and cry. (I'm going to go lift weights instead.)
Good for you! And congrats on the magazine article! Keep in mind that when she saw herself on the cover she probably had some regrets or reservations of her own: maybe she wished she handled things differently, or taken a different path, or spent more time with her family, etc. We all have our doubts about where we are in our life whether we are on the "cover" or on the "last page" (literally or figuratively). No one is perfect.
Thanks! I appreciate that, and I'm over it today, thank goodness.0 -

I'm very similar. When I first started limiting calories and would want food at times I was used to eating, I'd simply go peruse epicurious or some cook book or just start planning dinner or a menu--it channeled my thoughts about food and I'd stop being hungry (or simply be excited for dinner).
