My other confession is that occasionally I've had extra cals after midnight and logged them for the next day.
Haha! I did that last night / this morning! Shared a peanut butter snickers bar at 1am, logged it for today

I also sometimes weigh foods before and after cooking, just to see what the difference is.
And before mfp, I lost about 20 lbs doing medical weight loss, but am too embarrassed to admit that most of the time. Don't know why. It certainly got me going in the right direction, was under medical supervision, and working with a nutritionist. But still feel embarrassed.
What is medical weight loss?
For me, appetite suppressant prescription medication, along with seeing a doctor, weighing in and meeting with a nutritionist to figure out meal plans at least once a month. The part that most people think is terrible is taking "diet pills", aka appetite suppressants.

I like logging my cheat days, I may consume more than my weight loss calorie goal but it's usually not as much as I think. Then when you complete the entry and mfp tells you that if you eat like that every day, you'll only be half a kilo more in 5 weeks, it reminds you how awesome cheat days are and to get straight back into it the next day.

I have 6 more pounds to loose before I'm my pre-pregnancy weight. I still feel terrible about myself because that weight isn't the weight I want to be. I should be happy I've lost this much (I was logging with loseit) but I just feel like ths is not a good enough number. Even though I keep getting compliments from family.0

I can go all day eating healthy then as soon as my kids go to bed and I'm alone I eat until I feel like I'm going to puke. Binge eating...how do you stop?0

Just before my period, I get huge cravings for really bad-for-me food... This week, in 2 days I ate a whole package of Oreos. (But I had them with skim milk! Does that help at all?)
I really wish menopause would happen soon. (No chance; it's probably at least another 5 years away.)
The rest of the month, I can take it or leave it. Those few days, no cookie or chip is safe.
I used to do that all the time, but it was more than 2 spoonsful.Will_Run_for_Food wrote:I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.
It's much too good. Now I don't think I even have any in the house.
I always change my socks & underwear, but the shorts, bra, & t-shirt get aired out. In the summer I hang them & my towels on the clothesline outside before I even go into the house from the gym.funjen1972 wrote:I wear the same stinky workout clothes for several days without washing. Ewww gross, I know. Always change my socks though lol
Actually, the bra gets hand-washed once a week. The shorts & shirt, in the laundry maybe every other week. And I was just given a second pair of shorts that fit, so maybe they'll only go for a week from now on!

I missed the cutoff date for joining a team on the 5 boro bike tour and I'm afraid I won't have anyone to talk to.0

Same here! My step 'goal' is set at 2500 and I don't always make that.
My confession is that I eat Scotch mints every day and don't log them anymore because I have no idea how many I've had. Been eating them since I quit smoking 34 years ago. Damn, that's a lot of mints (not to mention sugar)!0 -

I'm sorry that totally blows

Also, my husband likes me overweight and tells me that every day, and I'm afraid he's going to leave me once I hit my goal weight. I know it's just his deep rooted self esteem issues rearing their ugly head, but it still hurts.
To the first part... It's not even possible to lose that much real weight in a week. Did you just start? First week is water weight. I think you should talk to someone if that is not enough because 2lbs a week is the best you can hope for and that is if you are very obese.
Second part... Why would you think he will leave you? Have you talked to him about this?

Yes, yes, yes. All so true for me. What's that thing my mom passed down to me and my sister? Resting B!tchy Face. Yes.
You're also describing me to a T. Except I got Resting B!tch Face from my dad. People are always telling me "Smile!" "You look sad" "You look mad" when my face is simply neutral and (as far as I'm concerned on the inside) expressionless.
A good friend once told me that when she first met me she thought I was "aloof". Which was her polite way of saying I look stuck-up if you don't know me.0 -
My confession: I live vicariously through the people in this forum, because I have no physical friends. It's like watching the group of cool kids in the playground back when I was at school.

I'm avoiding visiting my mother, partly because she always makes some comment about my weight. I don't think she's being malicious, or that she even realises she's doing it, but it makes me feel like crap when I was previously quite happy with my progress. And I know it won't stop when I reach goal, because she's always been like this even when I was slimmer. I think she's just uncomfortable about her own (perfectly healthy) weight and is projecting.
It's rubbish that I allow this to comes between us, but I can't bring myself to have this discussion with her because of all the awkwardness that will ensue. I'm sure I'll regret this some day.
Have you ever talked to her about it? I know this is tough as I have a similar situation with my mother, but I got tired long ago of ignoring it, putting up with it, ME feeling badly and her not "getting" it, so I just finally talked to her about it. Wasn't easy and we don't have a very good relationship anyway, but you may find that a HUGE weight is lifted off your shoulders if you just say what you need to say!
You are right! I generally have a good relationship with my mother, which is why I'm sad I'm allowing something so insignificant in the grand scheme of things to come between us. Perhaps the next time it comes up I will say something.

Confession: I can not bring myself to talk to my husband about my weight or trying to take off weight. I talk to him about everything and am a very confindent person. But hubby was teenage sweetheart. Apart for 17 years and we reconnected and got married 3 years after I lost 75 lbs. since we got married I regained 55 lbs in 4.5 years :-(. Everytime I start trying to take it off I get secretive with him since I don't want to discuss it with him. To the stupid piont of him thinking I am hiding something. Since when I am into weight loss I spend times on boards like this so he sees me on my ipad typing and reading but if he asks me what I am doing I won't answer or I close tabs ect.
So once he asked me if I was up to something. And the answer is that I am just scared to dealth that he will agree with me and say your right you are fat and I am not really attracted to you glad you are losing weight. And then I would not take off the pounds or I would put them back on but have to live with knowing that my hubby thought I was fat and unattractive.
This is all in my head since my hubby has loved me since I was 16 and I was a chubby teen.
But so my own fing crazy monologue makes my hubby wonder if I am having an affair since I don't have the balls to just say baby I am working on losing weight..
End confession.

You could always leave out the weight loss part and tell him you come here for fitness/health/nutrition.
That's how I ended up here... every fitness-related question I googled always turned up multiple references to MFP. Eventually I just joined, especially as there was merit in tracking my sodium, fiber and protein intake.0 -
... double post, MFP blip...
Phew. It's not just me, lol.My confession: I live vicariously through the people in this forum, because I have no physical friends. It's like watching the group of cool kids in the playground back when I was at school.
I don't really have friends either. There's another mom I get along pretty well with but we only see each other on the rare days she picks up her kids... but I've been so disappointed by friendships in the past, I don't actually care. Well, except when people talk about going out with their friends and post all the pictures and it makes me feel very lonely. But I haven't had a close friend since my first marriage 15 years ago.0 -
Confession: I have close to -0- sympathy when someone is sick. My husband has what has to be his eleventy billionth man cold of the season and I don't care. At all. All night long, "honey, bring me a sweatshirt. Honey, I don't feel good. Touch my forehead, do I have a fever?". He slept wearing a hat, for God's sake. I couldn't have rolled my eyes back in my head any further without risk of injury. I'm a little better when my son is sick, but that's because he doesn't whine about it. Even so, most times I give him some tylenol and tell him to rally.0
