I am chronically late. My family will tell me something starts an hour earlier than it actually does so at least there's chance of me being on time.

Me too, I totally run on CP time. However, I generally run like 5-30 minutes late, but I have several friends that can literally be more than two to three hours late for things.....

Then I have those friends that are usually on time and get stressed out when I wander out five minutes late. My boss sometimes claps if I am close to being on time for work......

We would not get along lol. Seriously one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are late. I find it very disrespectful.

I hate being late. It's my biggest peeve. And i get really mad when someone makes me late!

That sounds like my husband.
I'm chronically late... So I have to set alarms for myself to make sure I'm on time somewhere, or awake by a certain time.

I set my alarm to wake me up at 5:00am and 5:30am every morning, but I actually don't get up until 6:00am.

I've had to be at an interview at a certain time, so I set an alarm for what time I had to leave, but before that was my alarm for when I needed to start getting ready.

It was a pain in the beginning to set so many alarms, but now I'm rarely late

I am always late. But always in the 15 min category. I swear I don't know how to be on time. Yet I have family that are fanatically on time (my mother). It goes in the "I think I can get one more thing done before I leave" category. On the other hand I hate being early. I hate waiting around. Such a waste of time. And I am not good at social chit chat. I would much rather be late than have to wait. When I arrive everything starts or you have missed all the social crap and intros etc. and can just jump into it.

I have a friend who hates that I am always late, yet she is NEVER ready when I get there?!?!?

Early on in dating I realized my wife was one of these "if I'm 45 minutes late then I'm on time" people.

So, I started telling her things started 1/2 hr early (movies, parties, concerts, etc.), so we'd basically get there on time. She caught on, so then I'd start randomly telling her the correct start times, just to keep her on her toes.

Damn smartphones...it's too easy for her to look these things up herself now!

I agree, I think MFP should allow you to choose what it announces for you. Protein would be a big one for me!

It actually does.

Then you can choose nutrients tracked and have what works for you. You can also have more than three meals, and call those meals anything you choose.

Confession: My meals are named after the mealtimes that Hobbits use in Lord of the Rings (Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, and Supper) and I usually have something at each of these times (though I have a tendency to log my afternoon tea under second breakfast out of laziness)

I have three meals and three snacks and I don't like when I don't have something to log under each. But I refuse to lie about it!

Quirks, am I right?

It is 3 o'clock in the afternoon, last day before a 4 day weekend. I haven't done any work for HOURS and I don't plan to until 8am Tuesday morning

I understand the awkward social aspect of being early/on time, but I can differentiate between not showing up to a casual party on time and coming late when you are meeting someone for dinner, or a movie, or something else time sensitive.

My in-laws are chronically, maddeningly late. Like, late to my wedding (my mil scheduled her hair appointment at the time I asked her to be at the church, somehow she thought she could do both at the same time), late to my surprise 25th birthday party, late to my son's first birthday, 2 hours late to meet my parents for dinner. They definitely suffer from the "I can fit in one (or twelve) more tasks before I get ready" syndrome. It boggles my mind how little social regard they show for other people.

I only have one child, and I know it gets harder the more you have, but it also drives me crazy when people blame their kids for their lateness. I do have grace for emergencies and catastrophes, but not when they happen every single time, mainly because they aren't anticipated. I know that inevitably as I try to walk out the door, little guy will have a dirty diaper and need an outfit change. So I get ready early enough to deal with it and still be on time. But if it happens 5 time in a row and I still act surprised by it...

I had chocolate for dinner last night and washed it all down with a martini.

Confession:

I have an interview tomorrow for a job I really don't want to have to commute to. But I'm still going to the interview, a) because I set the appointment to go in, and b) because I need to work on my interviewing skills. I'm a terrible interviewee. Seriously, I freeze up. If it could be an "on the phone" or "texting" interview, I'd do amazing... But face-to-face interviews I fail at every time.

Is it wrong to go just based on the purpose of improving my interview skills?

Nah. I've been the interviewer many, many times and I see no problem with that. That being said, I wouldn't announce it to them or anything.

Well of course not. Lol
If the pay was right, I'd definitely consider the commute.

I hurt my back on Saturday, and haven't been able to work out or run, which I do religiously right after work, 5-6x a week.

Today's confession is that it's been so long since I just came home from work, turned on the TV & plopped down on the couch with a snack every day, it's been kinda nice...

...UNTIL I STEPPED ON THE SCALE THIS MORNING

Eeep.

Confession: I've been meaning to name my meals after those, but I've been too lazy. Thanks for reminding me

I also have to do this!! Awesome idea.

This thread is cheaper than therapy.

Sometimes, a little voice in the back of my head tells me not to bother losing weight because I have a very large wardrobe, thanks to a retail job in college. I shudder to think how much it'll cost to replace it all if I drop 5 or 6 sizes. (I try to remind myself that being fat costs more, but dammit, it's hard.)

Me too! Seriously, I have beautiful clothing that I truly love and I'm 27ish pounds down. My old clothes is starting to fall off of me. I know in my heart that I'm supposed to donate it or get rid of it but... I love it! It feels so dumb to admit that but it is true.

I'm still committed but I'll be sad to see some of my lovely clothing go.

Pick a few items that you love and pay to have them altered to a new size that will work for you.
