AOJ to Restaurant Managers Boss: "Hey RM Boss, RM wants a cake from the supermarket, shouldn't this be something that our IN HOUSE bakers can handle?"
RM Boss: "Yeah, I'll look into that."
OK, when I read the first email, I was wondering why a restaurant manager of all people would order a cake from a Supermarket Bakery. Yikes.
Depends of the Supermarket. Wegmans cakes are delicious. I actually ordered cake from a local bakery once and it wasn't even as good.
That's because Wegman's is the greatest place on earth. So sad I don't currently live near one.
I live a half of a mile from ours. It's the best and worst thing.0 -

Vaping is the only thing keeping me on track right now. I can breathe and exercise better, plus the flavors keep me from feeling deprived0 -
I once was only 10 pounds (maybe a little less) away from ending my 50 pound journey and I gained it all back and then some when my grandmother died. I'm here trying to conquer the journey once again.0

It happens to a lot of people, I'm sure your friends would be supportive...0 -

I have tried them multiple times and different kinds but they don't do it for me. Hubby quit about four years ago and is still vaping. I joke that he's addicted to the vape now...still better than smoking!0 -

I'm never temped to go there either. Now, DQ, yum! aka, in for the Blizzards.
DQ!!! I love the Blizzards, but my favorite is still a vanilla soft serve cone with that cherry dip stuff. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad would take me and my brother to DQ after miniature golfing during the summer
Good times.
It's the dilly bars that bring back those memories for me. My grandparent's house had an alley behind it and on the other side of the alley was the DQ. I don't think we ever went to their house without a trip to DQ! It's still there, too. Haven't been for ages though.0 -

I know what you mean about not having a large chest, but you've been incredibly successful! Good for you!0 -
Oh no! I hope everything is okay...That is scary.
Confession: I was at work one morning about a year ago and an ex of mine came into my work (he worked for a company who sent a tech out to work on one of our printers). I hadn't seen him in about 10 years. (Worst morning ever...) The last time he had seen me I was really skinny (and young). I was so ashamed and embarrassed to be as big as I was. He was a real jerk so I really wish I could have been better looking.
I don't think I'll see him again which is both good and bad. Good because I really don't like him but bad because I'm losing weight again and I want him to see how good I look again afterwards.
Thankfully, he looked old.
Thanks! It was a couple days ago now but we aimed heaters all over the floor and it *seems* to be ok /crossing fingers
If I ever ran into my ex at my highest weight I would have felt the same you described here, I totally get it!

Aim for your goal weight because YOU want to, not because you feel pressured by a guy you're with. Never let a guy make decisions for your personal being. And yes, I'm feminist
Definitely. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that, but it would really make me personally question whether he was worth it or not. Actually, for ME the decision would be a flat out NO. But I don't know your personal circumstances so I'm not judging you. Be strong, though!0 -
No shame here. This may gross out some people, but I have no apologies... I eat *at least* 1lb of butter, 1/2 lb coconut oil, and 1/2 lb olive oil per week. I also eat lots of eggs and bacon. I make my own protein shakes using raw eggs. I'm a crazy chicken lady.

This reminded me of a problem I had at work a year ago (it was building up for two years). I felt very competitive feelings towards a co-worker of mine. She had leadership responsibilities, and I really respected her. She is beautiful, successful, and confident. She made some drunken threats towards me in my first few months of working there, and I kept them a secret, which didn't our personal relationship (professionally, we were great together). She apologized profusely, but I don't think I ever forgot it. There were only three other women we worked with who we around our age, and she was good friends with two of them. They would do things on the weekend together, never inviting me, but always talking about how awesome it was and it really upset me, because I was new and had no girlfriends in our town. Yes, it was as "highschool" as it sounds, and it was totally pathetic.
Anyways, I slowly noticed how I was letting her "presence" really destroy my self image. I started over-analyzing everything I said about her, I'd replay every conversation I had with her over and over and over again in my head. We lived close to each other, and whenever I passed her house, I would always look in her apartment window to see what she was doing (because it would always be "cooler" than what I was doing). I would dread running into her if I was in our town because she would always look so beautiful and put together. I couldn't make a decision for what clothes to wear, what clothes to buy, what exercises to do without comparing what she did (or worse, what I assumed she did). I'd laugh to myself if she had lipstick on her teeth, and was in general really critical of her. It got pretty intense, and my husband got worried.
This was one of the many reasons why my husband and I quit our jobs and travelled around the world. I now see that we got off to a bad start, and although she did some terrible things to me, she didn't deserve me making every thing she did have something to do with me. She was just doing the best she could, and it's a shame I got out of control.
I have never had mental health problems before, and I appear to people (even during this time) as being really outgoing, friendly and confident. I hope I have better skills now to deal with my competitive nature, and my insecurities in the future.
I'm glad you were able to get that figured out! That sounds unhealthy and stressful!0 -

Oh hon, it makes me sad that you're putting pressure on yourself, in addition to the pressures of being a new mum, because of something that is ALL on him. You know it's not OK to plan to cheat on your pregnant wife, right? And that's his fault, not yours?
I know its not ok. I also know I can leave him at anytime I am in a position to be able to. We made the agreement to work our issues out.
But even despite that its really taken a toll on my own self image. I'm not trying to be unrealistic with my weight goals or anything or my ways of reaching them.
I'm not starving myself or anything or doing exercise until I drop I'm taking it slow and aiming for one pound a week. Its just I feel terrible everyday. I haven't shared with anyone in real life what happened. Its just nice to get it off my chest.
Oh good! I'm glad to hear that. It really bothers me when someone is completely dependent on their SO and thinks that they are stuck. I really hope it all works out for you!0 -
Oh and last confession! I made a MFP profile years ago and put in 140 as my weight even though I most likely wasn't because I didn't know it, so when I started using it again this year it kept saying I hadn't lost anything even though I lost almost a stone because I'm still way over 140. So I made a new profile with my January start weight then put in my new weight the next day so that when I check in it says 'mellb has lost 11lb so far', which I think makes me a bit shallow but it's nice to see it

Also, want to sign up for the midnight walk up Ben Nevis (UK's highest mountain) but worried i'm not fit enough, and I won't get fit enough in 13 weeks.
You won't know unless you try! I'd bet you are fitter than you think. I would also bet that the challenge would be good - a tangible goal to work towards. I say sign up!0 -

You came back though! And statistics show that you are far from alone on regaining lost weight. It happens. You're back now, and this time you know, since you did it once already, that you can do it. Good luck to you. 0 -
Having friends on here doesn't motivate me. The success stories do. I read them over and over and over and imagine imagine imagine the day when I can put one up. I am officially 5 lbs less. The least I have weighed for such a long time, half way to my first goal of 10lbs.
It's taken like three months to get here. I want to cry because it is slow. I want to cry because I am not fit. I want to cry all the time basically. I never knew how much stock I would put into the stupid scale, or how badly I want those numbers to change. Or how much I hate that I put so much stock into those stupid numbers. The worst part is that it's my fault. I go on hiatus, I get so busy during the day that I forget to log. I go over, or stay under and I just don't have this *kitten* under control, and most of the time I feel like a failure.
Friends don't help because it's the same thing "GOOD JOB!", "way to go" "Keep logging!"
That's just.. congratulating me on the things I just SHOULD be doing. I want to be OUTSTANDINGLY good at this. I just don't feel the NEED yet. I need mean friends. Ones who tell me it's not good enough, and give me *kitten* for not logging. And who I can tell "Today has been the worst day, I feel like I ate an entire blimp" and then cry on the phone to them, and they tell me to "suck it up" and to get my ducks in a row.

I bought a box of strawberry Pop Tarts due to this thread. Not the little box either. I told my family they are mine and I DO NOT plan on sharing.0

I understand but I wouldn't say "judge" the kid. I feel bad b/c it is so hard to lose the weight and learn on your own how to correct the behaviors you grew up learning. I definitely judge the parents though. How can they do that to their kid? (but then I see them in the grocery store buying sugary cereals, salty snacks, pre-packaged food, and not one fresh veg or fruit).
This is where I lay the blame as well. It is really sad, but sometimes the parents have no idea about nutrition, either. No excuse as you really should learn both for yourself and your children.0 -

YES, THIS! I've done MFP before, it was when I started adding friends that I started slipping, and eventually stopping all progress.
