I am much the same, but I use the lowest weight of the day in a spreadsheet that allows me to do a running 7 day average of weight. Usually the lowest weight is first thing in the morning just after my shower. I log the average weight every two weeks or so here.0 -

From reading all of the other confessions here, I'm pretty sure you're not alone with this one! It happens. Sometimes planning ahead and having all the candy at home will back fire. Hopefully this year will be better for you.0 -

my nutritionist says "weigh yourself every day, it's fun to see how much you way multiple times a day."
And I do. These weigh yourself once a week or month people don't know what they're missing.
Although, I'll weigh myself before and after a poo, and most of the time, the scale doesn't move, I'm like. wtf that was a 3 pound log, what gives?!0 -

Wow good job logging in! I'm jealous.
I'm almost back at 90 days.
I've been around since about 2012 and I have to confess that one of the reasons I quit logging in a few years ago was because I missed a day on accident and lost a really good logging streak. I was so mad. I wish I wouldn't let little things like that get to me.
Wow! 1000 days of logging in. You're my hero. Really. I'm really geeky about that kind of thing. I'm on day 86 and already feel like I'd cry if i had to start at 1 again!

This has happened to other students during a few classes I've been in, and depending on the timing/type of class, everyone either completely ignores it, or laughs because it's EVERYONE'S fear and the anxiety gets lifted. So not a big deal, and yoga is totally worth it!0 -

Hang in there. My drinking got pretty ridiculous after 40, and after several attempts, I finally quit for good.
I like to say my Drinking Novel had a lot of funny, epic, enjoyable chapters. Started off awesome, and included some of the most memorable times of my life...but towards the end they were just the same old boring depressing crap...page after page after page.
Dec 31, 2011 was my last drink...and I don't miss it. AT ALL.

I weigh every time I'm naked in the bathroom. When I was losing weight, I'd only log consistent (3 days in a row) losses. Now that I'm in maintenance, I generally log my weight on Fridays.
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.denielle715 wrote: »Confession: I'm a scale junkie. There are times I weigh myself 2 or 3 or more times a day.

I had a friend back home (in Texas) who cut my hair perfectly. Since I moved and I can't have her do it anymore, I've started going to a local beauty school. There's one instructor at one of the schools who knows what I mean when I tell them how I want my hair, so she makes sure it's right! Of course this means I get a different student cutting my hair each time, but they also learn a new way to cut hair, because they never know what I'm talking about!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.

I'm sorry you feel that way. You are young and beautiful! Maybe you can "disconnect" from that identity kind of the same way you transition into an adult from a child. Don't dwell on the past. Just focus on your future and on making the healthiest, best choices for yourself every day. You won't be perfect, but every little step helps!0 -

Confession of the day: a huge pet peeve of mine is too much movement in bed when I'm trying to fall asleep. My hubby has a terrible habit of tossing and turning SO. MUCH. before finally finding a good position. Me? I know my position, get to it, and just fall asleep. I definitely give him the evil eye in the dark when he won't stop moving.
I think I got this from my mom. When I was a kid, we'd go down for naps and she'd lay perfectly still while me and my sister would get all comfy. But when we moved, we'd get more than just an evil eye lol

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
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. 
Um. how old is this man/child? I have ZERO tolerance for people who do not use manners. Sorry you are dealing with that!0 -

Dec 31, 2011 was my last drink...and I don't miss it. AT ALL.
I have been drinking a lot the last few years (maybe after 40?) to the point I started getting really worried. I attribute a lot of my weight gain the last 3 years to eating out every night and drinking (by myself, at a restaurant bar, with a book). It was my 'down' time and gave me a mental break. Work was stressful, going home (even though I live alone) always made me fee like I needed to do something...clean, homework, etc. Then I got sick of how fat I had gotten, and how I had lost all this weight 3 years ago, gained most of it back, and was bursting out of my clothes again (had donated all my 'fat' clothes when I lost the weight last time). Lost 20 lbs then stalled and quit eating out almost entirely and almost stopped drinking again. I feel better, etc, but the last 4 nights out of 5 between going out with friends and traveling, I had wine and ate out again. Starting 4/1 back on the right foot.
Its hard to stop, and I am still working on it, but and when I don't drink I feel so much better. My family is 90% alcoholics (100% Irish) and I don't want to join that club. Until the last few years I wasn't much of a drinker. Now I am. And it needs to stop.
One other thing that scared me too, was the restaurant where I was going for food (really 2) it had become like I was a 'regular', there was a group of us that were there all the time, they knew what I ate/drank, and it felt like Cheers. It as 'family' on one hand, but one day I got frightened...is THIS what I want my life to be like? My 'friends' people I only see at a bar? And that kind of scared the crap out of me. I was starting to prefer going there than seeing my real friends and spending time with them, because this was just so much less stressful and zero expectations. You never let down a bartender, or have nuances with the folks at the bar you say 'hi' to every night. And one day it was like looking in a mirror, and I got scared. So I stopped going. Just stopped. Sometimes I wonder if they think I got hit by a car or something, I just disappeared.
Whew. Okay that was my confession. 0 -

3+ years of 'dieting' at home, whilst having an at-work affair with packets of biscuits, bars of chocolate, cakes an bread. I am still slightly horrified at the amount of time and money I have wasted by not committing to this properly.
So, he has reluctantly agreed to mind my wallet. And I'm losing weight. Last night, I had to pop to the shop to buy some bits, so I asked him to give me some money; but I also told him "Ask me for the itemised receipt, and the exact change". Because otherwise, I know what I would do.
I'm extremely embarrassed that I have to co-opt someone else's willpower to achieve this simple, small weight loss. But hey, I suppose self-knowledge is the first step towards self-improvement...
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.
Is there a way you can tell them exactly what kind of help you need from them? I don't know if I'd go full-disclosure right away as far as your diagnosis, but that's just me. It may be best to do so. Either way, I think if you just specifically say, 'Hey, doing X or saying X would really help me" I'm sure they'd both be more than happy to do so! It's probably more a matter of they are not sure exactly how to go about it.0 -
I was diagnosed with posterior tibial tendinitis and am in a giant boot totally grounded from all things (walk, run, bike, lift) for four weeks. I cried right in the office. My entire deficit is because of my activity. I was eating over 2000 calories and losing. Now I'm down to 1600 to maintain 1350 to lose 1/2 a pound. A tiny part of me is glad because I was burned out but I have to really reign in my logging for the next month and it's mt birthday! Wah!0

I've stayed within my calorie goal but damnit I can't get off the alcohol. It's my Achilles heel.
Sounds like you drink in moderation, though? That should be ok unless it causes you to eat poorly. If not, I'd not worry about it too much (barring any other issues).0 -

He is 50, (but don't tell his partners family, they think he is 40...) with the intellect of a 3 year old. Which ironically is the age of his daughter. I feel more sorry for her.0 -

I had a day out yesterday, and I had so much sodium. My friend said to eat lunch before we met up, so I had Taco Bell on the way, then when I got there she hadn't eaten yet. So I ordered nachos. Snacked on some fried food out of her order. Had a piece of pizza. Changed locations, ate more pizza. My hands were so puffy this morning that it hurt to make a fist, and I feel all kinds of bloated.
Well, that's silly! What did she do that for?! I retain water very easily and I HATE that feeling so I have to be very careful with my sodium intake, which is hard because I really only like salty / savory foods.0 -

Do you have a cosmetology school near you? Yes, the stylists are students and just learning, but they are supervised and generally eager to do a great job AND the prices are reasonable. Just thought I'd throw that out there as an alternative for you.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
In all fairness, when Cutler is your QB, what are you supposed to do? Us Bears fans have to have some QB to admire.
At least you have a qb. Try being a Vikings fan right now
I'm a Jets fan. Talk about lack of QB!0 -
I'm too scared to stand on the scale to see what my weight is right now
Is it possible to get on the scale backwards, have someone else record your weight for you, and then after you feel ready (a couple weeks, months, etc.) you can weigh again? That way you at least have something to compare your progress to.0 -
I confess I only live in Illinois because I was born and raised here and feel obligated to stay close to my mom and dad to care for them as they age but have every intention of moving as soon as possible!!
I often exercise extra so I can eat more chocolate or ice cream
I have 4 laid back awesome boys and am grateful I never feel pressured to buy them name brand Uggs or NorthFace jackets or pay for things just to "keep up with the Jones" like my sister is with her teen daughter .... I do however have every intention of spoiling a granddaughter rotten should I ever have one!
I think I could be the dog lady and have meaningful relationships with
My 4legged friends and not miss human companionship all that much!0 -
My confession is that I cannot be trusted around chocolate. To the point where I lie about how much I've eaten, even though I know I'm only lying to myself. If I tell you I've had one brownie, it's safe to assume I've had two or three. I'm an addict.
I'm also not above eating hummus with a spoon if I don't have another hummus delivery vessel (my favorite being crackers).0
