    I assume like throwback Thursday except you share too much information? First time I heard of this as well.

    I have never heard of this before......

    I think there's a thread where people say they're playing (I'm way too lazy to look into it), then they message each other questions with random #'s. The person who receives the message then posts the answer ON THEIR NEWS FEED with the same random #, so the person who sent the request knows it's the response to their question, but no one else knows the question. One person is enough to gunk up your entire news feed for a few hours, making you miss important stuff from people who are actually posting relevant stuff, like their evening workouts and diary completions.

    ^^ This, exactly. What's worse is that in addition to doing it in the first place (have a tough time understanding how it is possibly entertaining), the participants seem to view their volume of activity as a measure of popularity on this site. I understand that MFP is a form of social media, but srsly??

    When I'm fighting a craving, I eat other stuff to avoid the "bad" food and end up going way over my calories for the day. Also, I have no self-control when it comes to sweets. I've had to learn to just buy a serving instead of a package of something...I'm not done til it's all gone... :(

    This is totally me with certain things. I try to buy the single serving stuff when it's available, but this weekend, I wanted plain tortilla chips and had to buy a regular sized bag. So after I ate what I wanted, I had to give the bag to someone in my house to hide from me! It sounds silly, but it worked. I didn't waste money throwing them away, and I have no idea where they are so I can't eat them all now :)!

    On the topic of hair...

    I don't have a regular hair stylist. I know a lot of people that do hair, but I avoid getting my hair done by people I know. I don't want to get upset at them if they mess my hair up. I also used to be a receptionist at a salon, and it really upset me how bad the stylists there trash talked their clients... Even the ones they were friends with.

    I've spent the last couple years getting my hair done by randoms. I hate it, but I know if I ask for recommendations, I'll just get referred to someone I know.

    Oh, here's another one. I was at the gym yesterday and hopped on a treadmill next to some ladies who were together. I was already going when I realized they were loudly talking about a multilevel marketing (pyramid) scheme I really despise. I was so enraged that even with my music up loud, I could still hear them talking about how their product can cure insomnia, diabetes, and asthma all at once. As I was running I just kept mouthing "shut up" over and over again. At least all that anger did give me a nice work out!

    I'd leave my husband for Ron Swanson. (Yes, he knows)

    I'm pretty sure my husband would leave ME for Ron Swanson. He has a total man crush on him.

    I think its brilliant that a) you're strong and brave enough to ask your boyfriend to help you in this way and b) that he does it to support you.

    I wish I could get over my shame/embarrassment/humiliation and ask my partners to support me in similar ways (slap cakes/chocolate/ice cream/junk out of my hands) and that they would do it. My girlfriend says she's trying to support me, but she doesn't really get it. My boyfriend makes no comment, on anything. probably for fear of getting his head bitten off. Not that i would. I need their help.


    I haven't even confessed to either of them that I have a medically diagnosed eating disorder and was seeing a counsellor for it before i moved in with them, over a year ago.

    Aw hun :( You should definitely seek their support - they love you, they'll want to help you, but you need to tell them how! I think people are often wary of holding someone they love to account when they're trying to lose weight, because they worry it will be seen as them confirming that there's "something wrong with you" - that they don't love you just the way you are. And yeah, because they may be afraid of getting their head bitten off! But if you just make it clear to people you need them to reinforce your own resolve, they are usually so helpful and supportive.

    As for your medical history, that is your own private business to tell them or not as you choose - but I think you would feel better if you did, not just because it would help them to understand why you need what you need, but also because then they will know how strong you are - that you've been through that and come out better.

    Take care of yourself - and let your partners take care of you too! x

    Is tincanonastring still reading? My son told me for easter this year he'd like a HOLLOW chocolate bunny, as tall as his 3 yr old sister, filled with marshmallow peeps.

    Holy crap.

    I cannot stand people who talk loudly on the treadmills.

    I've had at least one Jim Beam and Pepsi Max every night for the last week or so.
    I've stayed within my calorie goal but damnit I can't get off the alcohol. It's my Achilles heel.

    Mine too! Sweets don't bother me and I don't think I've ever binge eaten, but I like to have a few drinks at night to relax.

    LOL if you have binge eaten, you'd know it! (wrappers everywhere, feel like your gonna be violently ill if you move a muscle, try to recall what all went in, but are unsure of exacts items or quantities. and then comes da SHAME.)

    I exercise in front of a full length mirror to see me jiggle... Makes me try harder each time I see them move.

    Could we get video?

    Oh no. That wouldn't be pleasant on the eyes. :neutral:

    I was like this for years, and then found a hairdresser I really liked. Then she went on her own and works out of her basement now, so I go there. I love the way she cuts my hair, but don't like her colours any more - I think the lighting is bad in her basement maybe? Anyway, not sure what to do about it. I can't just not book with her because I know she'll call me.

    I was DREADING it yesterday because I knew I hadn't lost any weight. I got on anyway, and turns out I put on 2lbs. I'm not sure that was actual fat I've put on, or some sort of water weight/need to poo weight on top of maybe 1lb. Definitely didn't eat enough to put on 2lbs though.

    Edit: I just realised that wasn't the most encouraging reply, I'm sorry. :confounded:

    I ate an entire container of full fat cottage cheese last night :/ then walked up and down my stairs until I "burned" enough calories to be in the green.

    My confession for today is that I REALLY want to throw my stapler at the man sitting at the desk in front of me, but my boss won't let me because apparently we need him :neutral: He is the most rude, vile person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. For example, he thinks it is hilarious to burp the word BOLLOCKS or that in his opinion it is perfectly acceptable to interrupt a woman because he will probably be right anyway. :angry:

    A stapler won't do much.....your boss never said you couldn't throw a brick at his head, did he?

    If tempted, encase in jello.

    Confession: I'm a scale junkie. There are times I weigh myself 2 or 3 or more times a day. I always weigh first thing in the morning, without clothes, after peeing.
    But I have finally gotten the control to only log my weight once a week (on Sunday's).

    I have a pretty good walk that I do on my lunch break. It's down the road a ways, up a super steep hill, down the other side and back around. It's fairly difficult, but I know a few people from my office do that route every now and then. I thought I was all alone, huffing and puffing up the hill and I was a bit gassy so I was letting one slip every now and then. I make it to the top and not 50 feet behind me is a co-worker...apparently I'd been crop dusting him the whole way up hill. I feel super bad about it and now I'm embarassed. I hope 50 feet was a good enough buffer to the let the smell disappate before he walked though it. Oops.

    HAHAHA this is awesome!

    Totally been there, done that!

    I started a contest at my gym on Saturday, so I binged on BBQ the night before weigh in. According to my scale, I'm down 11 lbs so far...

    I weigh whenever I'm naked in my bathroom. Whatever time of day. I actually enjoy watching the fluctuations. I find it interesting and it doesn't freak me out. I only record losses though.

    I went to a work party last night and ate ten buffalo wings, five potato skins, and 5 marinara meatballs while drinking three glasses of whiskey. Then i went home and ate a banana doused in way too much peanut butter with chocolate chips, brown sugar and cashews. Then I ate more cashews and dipped a chocolate bar in peanut butter mixed with yogurt. After my best estimations I ate about 5,000-6,000 calories yesterday. I was so full I had to lay on the bathroom floor and I threw up.

    I've always been skeptical of "blender bottles" 8.00 for a cup? Well I bought one last night and love it lol, no more clumps from stirring my protein.

    I bought the Rubbermaid one with the plastic mixing paddle doohickey, set me back about $12 I think. It was mainly for transporting protein to work in the mornings but I was surprised at how well it blends.

    Wish it was half the size though. I only need room for about 10 fl ounces.

    Confession: I'm preparing to cut some of the folks who haven't logged in/never post/disappear and reappear at random off my friends list to trim it down...and I'm giddy about it. I'm a special kind of jerk sometimes.

    I message inactive pals on 2 days, I cut them after 4 days of inactivity. DO EET, it's liberating.

    Ruthless! I give em at least 2 weeks. Unless they are people I know personally who stopped logging for certain reasons.

    Confession: it's more liberating for me to clear out my Facebook friends list than MFP.

    I like to give them at least a week, unless it's a pattern of missing 4 days, logging for 3, missing two, logging for 5, missing 5, etc.

    I give the IRL people a pass. Though @ladybuggnorris and her "MFP glitched, I swear!" plan is still tempting. Ha!

    You would all cut me. I log every single day in a paper diary, it's just I only get on to MFP a few times a week, so I log several days at once on here. I never miss a day, I'm just a late logger. But it doesn't matter, as I confess I've never understood the friend aspect of MFP and have no idea what it is for and what difference it makes. I'm a crap online person.
