Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I've been trying for weeks to cut back on sugar (mostly chocolate) and the cravings are a lot more controllable now. That said, i've already pre-logged my white chocolate pistachio Easter egg
for Easter Sunday, a half split over 2 days so I don't go over sugar goal. But who am I kidding? I know i'll probably devour the entire thing in one day. 0 -
*coff* I miss carb fuelled poos. Those suckers couldn't wait to vacate the premises.........0

And that's why I do moderation, lol.
In January my sister brought back some chocolates, I had been avoiding them (except a square of dark chocolate occasionally), and I ended up eating the whole bag in 2 days (ok I had some help, but still). Since then I bought a lot of chocolate... and I mean a lot. It's in my cupboard, I know it's there and I can have some anytime I want... and I just have a square or two every day. I haven't binged once in a month and only been a bit over a couple times.
Cutting back and restricting is nice and all but unless you plan to never cave in, it just ends up badly, in my experience.
My confession is that doing that, I actually realized that I'm actually ok with just having a square of chocolate, and I don't need half a bar to be satisfied anymore.0 -

I used to do this with nesquick powder when I was little. Sooooo gooooood!0 -

You've made an opening for a confession I've been thinking about for a while. I also love JJ Watt but I'm from WI. BUT I can't stand Aaron Rodgers. I feel like I'm the only person in this state that doesn't worship him.
I like Aaron Rodgers... and I'm a Bears fan. *shame*
So then I might be the only person in the world that doesn't like him

anyway I only hate myself 50% for bingeing I guess that's a self love win
Confession: Salembambi is my girl crush.

In all fairness, when Cutler is your QB, what are you supposed to do? Us Bears fans have to have some QB to admire.0 -

Anyway...he's dead. And as happy as I am about it...I'm a little mad. But mad because he never had to face what he did, ever. He was never punished. He'll never be punished. And oh how I want him punished. I wish that I could have watched him die. And I think that makes me kind of awful.
None of your feelings make you an awful person. I think it's 'normal' that you feel such hatred towards him, he must have had so much hate within himself to do the things he did to you and he didn't care how badly he hurt you.
This is really well put.
He was the most miserable person I've ever known. And that makes me feel sad for him...but he was the most evil person I've ever known as well. And now I feel confused.
Just wanted you to know that I too was in an abusive relationship. I am now married to a wonderful man and have two great kids. It can get better!0 -

I like anchovies when I get those salty cravings! I have to have them otherwise I find myself thinking constantly about crisps and chips and other delicious-but-not-good-for-you salty alternatives.
I LOVE anchovies! Fresh ones mind, not tinned ones. I have an anchovy salad at least once a week. My co-workers love me very much.0 -

I don't think you are awful.
I'm glad you are safe now. Please take care of yourself!

It's actually super hilarious because most of the time it's some really obscure song...and I become really embarrassed. Thank god it only happens when my boyfriend is away hah!
I am like this when channel hopping music channels during the ads. If either chandelier or elastic heart by Sia come on, I have to dance around like a loon. Scary faces and EVERYTHING.0 -

Again, thanks for reading
I'm sorry you've been through so much. Be proud of what you've accomplished (congrats on the weight loss!). Unfortunately we can't change the past but just try to do as many good things as you can from here on.tincanonastring wrote: »Confession: I've got the month from hell coming up at work in terms of deliverables and travel and I've got a *kitten*-ton of things going on in my personal life (not bad things, just time commitments, taxes, etc.). I've already come to the realization that I have to take an MFP posting hiatus to get everything done and have decided in advance that I will not attempt to catch up on any threads except this one when I come back. No matter how many pages I miss, I'm reading it all. *kitten* those other threads, though. Every one of them.
Good luck on getting caught up afterwards! We will miss you.

Thank you to everyone who responded to me. It is nice to get it out, even in this small way, and I appreciate all of your well wishes and understanding.
Thank you.0 -

I'm a few pages behind so I don't know how many have commented on this. If this makes you awful then I'm awful too. I am glad on your behalf that he is dead. A lot of people will not understand because unless you've gone through this type of abuse, the fear and bottomless rage you experience can't even be expressed adequately. Even thinking about things that happened years ago I clench my jaw and my breathing gets jagged and I have to distract myself with something else. I've been made to doubt myself so much that even if I am feeling one hundred percent one way I end up questioning my motives and whether or not I'm behaving this way for attention.
A lot of the people who abused me are still alive and when I hear news of their long over due demises I am going to throw a big party. I am going to refuse to feel bad about it. I am going to try to revel in the giddy relief I will experience knowing they will never find me again. They are disgusting human beings that don't deserve to be alive. You are normal, you don't sound awful and you deserve to be happy.0 -
Oh i'm all for moderation. I've ditched 100 lbs by not cutting anything out/restricting completely. When I say 'cut back on' I mean trying to find that 80%/ 20% balance rather than having 50% of my diary filled with sweet treats.I've been trying for weeks to cut back on sugar (mostly chocolate) and the cravings are a lot more controllable now. That said, i've already pre-logged my white chocolate pistachio Easter egg for Easter Sunday, a half split over 2 days so I don't go over sugar goal. But who am I kidding? I know i'll probably devour the entire thing in one day.

I. like you, am at that point where I can just be satisfied with a square of dark chocolate but if there's two things I have a weakness for it's white chocolate and nuts (cashews and pistachios specifically). So i'll be nomming that Easter egg all day and will regret nothing.

No, you're not the only person that doesn't like him. And shame on you, Talkradio!
