Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Because I can laugh about this now here’s a two for one confession. When I was in the Navy, we stopped in St. Thomas Vi. for a port of call, while at a club some ladies ask me to dance for a girlfriend of theirs that was celebrating her 40 birthday, the reason they asked me was that she had a thing for Sly Stone and Italian men in general.
So with a little persuasion and a little rum I finally agreed. It took me a little to loosen up and enjoy it but I finally did get into it. I actually made some good tips from other ladies and actually a couple of guys that were at the club.
A few years later, an old girl friend of mine from H.S. found out about this and asked me to dance at another mutual girlfriend’s bachelorette party. Again, it took some coercion but I finally agreed to it. The party was at a bar and there were other people there. Everything went well, no issues to report. Afterwards, I hung out (no pun intended) with a few other friends and ended up hooking up with a very nice woman in her mid-forties. I thought that I would never see her again not that I didn’t want to, it was just one of those things.
Here comes the pie in the face. So about a year later, a girl that I had been dating for a while and which we were getting serious, decided to take me to meet her mother (yeah I see the lights going off in your minds, you know what happens next). It was the most awkward moment of my life and I could not wait to get out of there, I was sweating and my stomach was a wreck. Neither her mother nor I could look each other in the eyes.
She and I continued to date but I was in pure hell not telling her but her mother begged me not to and honestly, I really didn’t want to either but it was pure hell withholding that from her.
We eventually did not work out and went our separate ways and I have no clue to this day if her mother ever told her the truth or not.
Phew - I let out a sigh of relief for you at the end of that story! Probably felt good to finally let out. Crazy, but highly entertaining - thanks for sharing!0 -

There's no reason to go spending $10 for lunch when there are always perfectly good leftovers.
I'm a tyrant. LOL
I'm the same way and in the same boat! When you have to cover for someone else's mistakes for so long, you kind of feel you have a right to dictate how they spend their money! If they mess it up, who do they want to make it all better?
My wife & I have been together for over 22 years...and we keep our money separate.
Coincidence? Discuss lol
Same here. Second marriage for both of us so keeping things separate is so much easier. Plus, we are both good with money and there are no secrets. Works just fine for us.0 -

And I have an eating disorder I can't tell anyone about.
The first step to start recovering from an eating disorder is telling people about it.
Or so said my therapist, psychiatrist and dietician when I went through it a few years ago.
Sorry you don't feel like you can talk to anybody.
Feel free to talk here. Yes, there are some crazy threads on these boards, but there are a lot of supportive caring people, too.0 -

When school rolled around again, I slowly began to eat. Then I would basically gorge on food. It was bad. I would eat almost anything and everything. I'd feel so bad about it that I'd throw it up. But the purging didn't do me any good. I'm back at the weight I started at in the summer of last year. Now I'm trying the healthy way. With fitness and nutrition.
That makes me tired just reading it! Sorry you had to go through all of this first, but I'm glad you see now how to do it the right way. It will take time; just be patient and keep your health in mind. Good luck!0 -

Well they look good...
Confession - I'm a pastry snob now. Only the good stuff is worth the calories at this point... for example, I'll never waste my calories on pastries from Panera or grocery stores (unless it's Wegmans or the local Whole Foods because their stuff is fantastic).0 -
I confess that I'm really digging seeing peeps' peep avatars. It's...cleansing to my soul... I also confess that someone on another thread expressed frustration at the amount of peep-related posts I put out there and I was not very peepceptive to her feedback. I'm afraid I was actually rather rude and used the peep cleanse to retaliate. The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM) must remain pure and I vow to never use it in a besmirchful manner again.0

There are 5 really good Mexican bakeries within walking distance of where I live. I've been here for almost two years and have only bought bread (not pan dulce) once.

Only very tangentally a fitness-related question...does anyone have experience with DHS deliveries? How likely are they to be on time?
I would love to go out dancing tonight, but I have no dresses that fit me which I have not worn too many times already. I am waiting for a packing which has a bunch of new dresses in it. It is supposed to arrive by end-of-day Pacific today. This morning it was in India. Now it is in Germany. I don't have much hope!0 -
whew! Finally caught back up... this has been a busy thread today and I was off of it for 3 days over the weekend and never caught up yesterday. Work got in the way all morning... and I have been feverishly reading all posts for the past 3 hours. I am so happy to be back on top of this!
You are all free to keep posting now... haha!0 -

That is really impressive! I have another confession. During workouts you have to push yourself . I used to try to do this by picturing how I want to look during the summer and at my friends wedding, and who I want to impress. I would tell myself how good I'll feel later and the health benefits. The only thing that truly helps me push myself and increase intensity is thinking about the food I'll be able to eat with those extra calories.

My confession is I've always seen myself as fat when I looked in the mirror and I was only 85 lbs I'm 4ft 8" so although thin not sickly! But now I'm 137 and for the first time what I always saw in the mirror is now my reality and I hate it! Trying so hard to just get down to 100 lbs but it's just not happening! Ugh0

Well, the one time I did buy bread, I made a HUGE sandwich, ate it all and gained 5 pounds. I am looking forward to the summer and an excuse to make a cold-cut sandwich again, with cheese and real mayo. Once a year will not kill me. I am really unreasonably sensitive to carbs and just cannot do bread on a regular basis.
Reality...no fun at all!0 -

I used to think I was chubby, too when I was really thin and in shape. I look back at that time and wish I would have realized how good I looked. But think of it this way. When you hit your goal weight you'll appreciate it more than if you had never gained weight! Don
Don't let it get you down

Thanks glad I'm not alone! I always wished I took more photos or didn't wear baggy clothes to hide myself! I just hope that I can get the weight down so I can truly feel good in my skin! Having 5 c-sections doesn't help either. But my motivation is to lose the weight so I can have the tummy tuck if I have any loose skin left which hoping I won't! Going to be a tough long journey but I'm willing to do it for me!0 -

Confession: I am the only person I know that benefits from looking at pictures and recipes of delicious foods and watching cooking shows. It helps me control my appetite, like it's some kind of replacement for eating. It's very, very strange.
I'm so glad someone else feels like this. It actually sort of upsets me to look at them if I'm eating a lot because they make me feel guilty.
But if I'm eating very few calories, it does function like a replacement for eating. When I was a lot lighter I actually *preferred* looking at pictures of food to eating it. It was bizarre, really. It was like a way to experience it vicariously, but it was as if real food would be disappointing after the images. Very strange.0 -
Confession:
I recently started a new eating regimen of 200g of protein a day to fuel my body for max weight low rep lifting. I don't want to try and piece together information from all the "beginner help me" threads, yet I'm hesitant to start my own thread because of all the lolbroscience responses I'm sure to get.
This is probably the most therapeutic and helpful thread on the MFP forums.
Just sayin..
post 666 is coming.0 -
I'd been having a pint of beer pretty much evening, and it always put me over my calorie limit for the day. I just pretended to not have had it. Result: I gained 5 pounds. Only been having beer once a week now. 0

Honestly, before I was restricted from doing it, everything that worked for me came straight from the intro to health and fitness 101 textbook I had in college. Most of the conflicting info I've seen since then seems more focused on min/maxing and attributing magic powers to one school of thought over another. The basics aren't any different than what was in that book 20 years ago, though.0 -

Confession: The guys from Supernatural are going to be in my state, about 6 hours away from me this weekend and I really really want to drive over to see them. Sometimes, younger girls try to make me feel weird for liking those guys, but then I have to say - hey, those guys are MY age!0

I'm eating today's extra calories in homemade jalapeño macaroni and cheese. I regret nothing.0

I am not proud of this, but there is a part of me that is really glad I was huge in the past because people think you are somehow morally good to have lost a huge amount of weight. It wasn't why I put it on or why I lost it but it really makes me feel good when people comment.0

The flip side of that is that people assume you are morally bad for being fat.
I gained weight due to health issues--it was pretty much beyond my control. I'm a bit angry about that.0
