My confession is that I have nothing bad to confess, only that I still eat what I want (within my daily kcal allowance) and I still lose weight!
Tonights dessert is a Little Debbies Oatmeal Cookie Pie!0 -

Ie-no hitting,spitting,or swearing (loudly). We don't tease/bully/mock each other or our friends.
However, you may color yourself from tip to tail in magic markers,sport a Mohawk, ride a dirt bike, do "stunts" on the trampoline, wear your Halloween costume to the store,play violent video games, eat dessert every night, make gross jokes at the dinner table...etc etc.
You are awesome0 -
My dad posted the most insultingly unflattering picture of me on Facebook yesterday. Usually I'd just let it slide, but really, it was not considerate of him at all to post it. I asked him today to delete it, but just in case, I logged into his computer after Easter dinner and deleted it myself.0

I made a traditional Filipino flan dessert for family dinner today. Ingredients include: 1 cup sugar, 12 egg yolks, 1 can condensed milk, 2 cans evaporated milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Had two smallish pieces for dessert. An hour later, my parents and I sat around the table and ate the leftovers straight off the platter. I had to stop because I felt sick. I'm probably a thousand calories over maintenance today.

Easter Confession: I'm not much of a cake person but I will do unspeakable things for some icing. Today my roommate brought home chocolate cake for Easter and I scraped off some (okay, a lot..) of the icing and used a knife to smooth it out so no one would know0
-
I confess that I'm feeling proud of myself for not exceeding my calorie goal -and- dropping a pound on top of it today. Usually I'm quick to disparage myself and overeat if I've had a bad day, but today...GO ME! =D0

I also confess that if you are friends with @tincanonastring and have not checked out his Easter diary then you have done yourself a disservice. It is most excellent.0

duckykissy, although tempted to say, "that's just ducky..."
, I will nonetheless say that I laughed out loud after reading what you conveyed, and that I can relate!
Although I used to enjoy the melted foamy 'top layer' from small marshmallows used to 'dress' my hot chocolate, when enjoying a warm mug of the stuff at my grandmother's, as a kid... and liked the tiny hard-as-a-rock-but-then-they-softened-with-milk, marshmallow-esque whatnot that were strewn about in a bowlful of Lucky Charms, during adolescence... and while I can handle the taste of one or two S'more(s), once per year, if partaking of a reunion-like cookout, which inevitably includes some young relatives delighting in the marshmallow roasting 'process'... I seem to have 'drawn the line' at experiencing (past or present tense) those instances and/or specific 'forms' of such, from amongst the remarkably expansive (and seemingly ever-expanding) realm of marshmallowdom...
...however, that being said, I still find the 'barely examined sight' of a(n un- melted_atop_hot_chocolate, or un- S'mored) marshmallow to involve my experiencing a mental reaction that could perhaps be described as 'somewhat hinky'... and the thought of ingesting them, by themselves, let alone in 'dressed up' forms of 'molded marshmallow flying solo' (such as sugar-encrusted Peep-age, or those completely-gross-me-out orange 'circus peanuts' -- a.k.a. 'condensed marshmallow candy' bits of looks-like-a-piece-of-molded-chalk-or-thermoplastic-polymer, and that I tend to only see in bulk bins of grocery stores, or otherwise appearing on various shelves during the Halloween candy-buying season), involves reaction-specific descriptors I seem to be at a loss for (or perhaps am not! ;P -- 'unappealing' and 'slightly stomach turning' suddenly come to mind )... and the thought of marshmallows being used like 'glue', 'tack', or 'mortar', as they're akin to 'functioning' within Rice Krispie Treats, and sundry other examples of composite baked mallowness, seems like voluntarily subjecting oneself to placement of 'superglue' between one's molars (yikes!)... and the entire 'concept' of 'Marshmallow Fluff' (it looks like thick shaving foam, or spray foam insulation!) makes me want to hurl...
But, I will say this (I said, as though I hadn't already said a ridiculous amount about this fun little topic ) -- when I saw, during a grocery shopping trip, that one particular 'resident' of a specific aisle's 'bottom shelf'-Land was none other than a bag of 'the largest marshmallows I've ever seen in my life' (I swear, they were the size of a small doll's head (!)), let alone that they were multi-colored (and practically 'waving' to me, in all their pastel glory (hey, look at us! we're huge marshmallows, previously seen only in dreams! we look like edible pastel Play-Doh clouds! and we're now available for purchase! good luck finding a use for us! making a S'more with us will require unhinged jaws! just one of us will suffice for a pan of Rice Krispie Treat carnage! two of us can froth-melt the top layer of an entire vat of hot chocolate! three of us can pad the fall from a four-story building! ;P )) -- and I not only laughed out loud (while being simultaneously 'freaked out' a bit, at the monstrous size, let alone the sudden confusion, in my wondering how on earth marshmallows of such volume might best be 'implemented' (as well as thinking, "what took the so long?! -- why did it take decades for anyone to figure out that expanding the product line of the otherwise staid, cylindrical, 'classic' marshmallow just might involve an increase in size?! (massive or otherwise) -- how did that take *decades* to figure out?! ;P ), but I also was tickled for the current generation of children, who would undoubtedly get a kick out of being treated to concoctions of various ingestibles made from such memorable marshmallow madness (albeit with some sort of minimum age guideline, if eating (or even playing with!) such monstrous marshmallows by themselves, what with their seeming to be almost hazardous, when considered from a few relevant perspectives).duckykissy wrote: »like some other form of marshmallow made from something not yet classified by the periodic table of elements.
I agree (while laughing at the comedically 'accurate' description of their confounding chemical composition )...
Peeps -- those rubbery ingestibles that are almost Nerf-like in terms of their 'physical performance properties' (are we seriously discussing the mechanical manifestations and mesmerizing molar machinations associated with Peep-osity?! -- why, yes, we are! ;P ), whose impressively elastic 'bounce-back' factor, when combined with their remarkable resistance to 'deformation', would seem to portend rather problematic dentition actioning, and potential molar response that is akin to being the closest that molars might ever get to experiencing what 'jumping up and down on a trampoline' is like -- yes, Peeps would seem to *be* their own form of chemical element, albeit one that is mystically transmogrified from some sort of magical combination of *existing* elements, and whose happens-in-a-manufacturing-environment 'behind closed doors', clandestine concoctive confabulation, is perhaps 'presided over' by labcoat-covered individuals waving wands, over vapors rising-almost-mist-like from various poured elixirs, until a 'Peeps Big Bang' -like moment occurs, and fulminating foof foams about, and in all directions, before being carefully pressed into all manner of molds, to yield the mass manufactured 'army' of Peeps that we see populating store and cabinet shelves near and far... and whose nothing-else-like-it composition begs the question (and especially at Easter) -- which came first? -- the chick or the egg?
(*What* was I just mumbling about...?!

I'm having a hard time staying within my daily calories on a regular basis these days.0

That dessert sounds amazing!
I never make desserts like that because I would be completely stymied as to what to do with 12 leftover egg whites, other than make meringues or Pavlova or something, which would also have to be eaten... aargghhh.0 -
I ate a bunch at Easter dinner and had two slices of pie and I'm totally full, but I have my Easter basket next to me and I want to eat all of the candy inside. I feel like I should just binge on all of it so it will be gone. lol
Also, I hope the Russell Stover brownie and cookie dough eggs are good, I'm saving those.0 -

My kids got some peeps from "The Easter Bunny" and I can't wait for them to open them so I can eat one, even though I am pretty certain I never like or enjoy them. I just feel like I HAVE to.

SUPER PEEP CLEANSE!
My confession is that I think I am addicted to lasagne.0 -
So...much...chocolate... I think my stomach may explode. And yet I'm fully planning on sneaking off to Target tomorrow to buy some marked down Easter candy
When I get sick from eating something, I generally never want to eat it again. Like clam chowder
Why doesn't that ever work for chocolate?!! 0 -
My parents had a friend who liked stale Peeps. They'd buy them at Easter, poke a hole in the cellophane, and wait until the next year to eat them when they were hard a as a rock, then buy a new box for the next year.
Wait until they go stale? I'm confused. The way they taste I thought they were made of packing peanuts, plastic and sadness and their ground state of being was stale.
Oh, my... "made of packing peanuts, plastic and sadness and their ground state of being was stale" -- that is just too...wondrous a description.
Alas, if Peeps personnel (and particularly the Marketing Department associated with Peeps-R-Us (or whoever the manufacturer is)) were to somehow latch on to this 'classic trait' of a Peep's "ground state of being", said Peep's peeps could perhaps harness this aspect to the benefit of the Peeps conglomerate...
...with closing narration for some sort of commercial or print ad opining (and in a setting-the-record-straight sort of fashion), "Peeps -- they don't get stale -- they just turn into another form of perfect."
...after all, an 'advantage' (scary as it might be) to not exactly being food (and involving more of an FDA-allowed confectionery cataclysm (and I mean that in the best possible way (if it exists))), means that some things don't (seem to) have a shelf-life... and akin to Twinkies 'aging in perpetuity' (and with their texture intact, no less (which is disturbing)), and a McDonald's supposedly-made-of-meat, preservatives-doing-their-job-just-a-little-too-well 'hamburger' engaging in its own impersonation of Dorian Gray (<--- awful color reference unintended (after all, what 'food' is ever gray? (besides White Castle 'sliders', that is)))... marshmallow -- mallow as in tallow (?) -- and being a form of sugar-laced edible construct created with tallow's companion, gelatin, never met a timelapse with which it could not 'win a stand-off' (or so it would seem (has anyone ever encountered or otherwise *heard of* a 'spoiled' marshmallow? -- they're essentially a unicornian entity!))...
{ ...it would appear that the sudden ingestion of massive amounts of sugar on this day has caused my brain to behave rather mayhemically... and found its preferred form of frolicking whimsy to be that of Peeps commentary exiting my fingertips, as they Riverdanced across a keyboard (my fingers, that is, and not a chorus line of Peeps (in case there was any confusion... )) }
Lastly, the following is an interesting read (who knew that someone out there makes masala chai -flavored marshmallows (?!) (or margarita and red velvet, for that matter?!), let alone that "flavors with more oil content, such as the masala chai and triple gingerbread flavors are particularly prone to interesting aging effects" (!) (the evolution of taste associated with oil-infused marshmallows, in addition to informing me of an entirely unexpected reality that exists, would seem to represent a field ripe for a new kind of connoisseur-ship (and perhaps akin to wine sommeliers, could someday involve marshmallow aficionados who not only advise regarding, but also debate, the merits of various 'pairings', let alone whatever might be considered the 'ideal' 'aging' time for a given oil-infused marshmallow flavor's taste-evolving timeline ))) --

The calories are impressive, but what really got me was the carb number - that's my carbs for a month and a half. I'm pretty sure I'd be in a coma, or wishing I was.0 -

My other confession is that occasionally I've had extra cals after midnight and logged them for the next day.
Don't worry I've done this too! I figure as long as the days even out over the week to under my calorie goal it is all good
If it's after midnight isn't it actually the "next" day? I always do this on my 2 midnight shifts because I sleep when all the sane people are working and work when they sleep.0 -
My confessions are: (not really embarrassing but still weird)
1- I usually save half a spoon to eat from the container.
2- sometimes when I'm bored hungry I heat the meal I fantasize to eat but don't eat it. (My family don't get it, but it's calming - and then they eat it ) 0 -

You have your own reasons and I'm not implying anything about you, please understand.
That said, overfeeding other people with treats is a *classic* ED symptom. I've done it; I've watched other people do it. It feeds your food obsession on one hand, and on the other, if other people get fatter you look thinner by comparison.
Not wanting to fall into that trap again is a big reason I don't bake anymore.
This is a byproduct of ED (erectile dysfunction)?? Lol. (And yes I realize this isn't what you meant so no need to follow up with an unnecessary explanatory post)
Confession:
1. I'm a smarta$$. (Yes Captain Obvious it's true, I am)
2. I'm a Tennessee Titans fan (that was difficult to admit
3. I felt better about myself after reading only a few of the posts.
4. I have secretly thought to myself while reading some posts "man, that's messed up".
5. I'm a scale nazi I weigh nearly everything
6. I'll never be happy with how I look and that motivates me. I am however happy that I'm healthy
7. I always tell myself after I take time off from working out "this time when I go back I'm not worried about how much I lift". That ceases to be true within the first month
8. I get pissed off when people tell me that they are jealous of me because I can "eat anything I want" (I'm 5'7" 135 lbs). They don't realize that I eat CLEAN and work out. (You cannot out exercise a bad diet....crap calories don't build muscle.
9. Sugar is like crack to me. If I allow myself to eat junk that's all I'll want all day
10. I couldn't make a list and not have ten items but We aren't OCD, we think (lol).0 -

Same here! Except that I ate almost DOUBLE my maintenance... With a molten lava cookie mountain, half a container of Speculoos (Lotus) Caramel Biscuit flavored ice cream, and pizza.0 -
Confession : I take my shirt off and look at myself in the mirror almost every time I use the restroom at home. I'm really not a narcissist and don't like attention from others. I think I do it almost because I have a hard time accepting how much I've changed. I don't recognize myself in pictures sometimes. It is a very weird feeling.
This habit totally reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.0 -
I have not logged my weight in over a week (let's stop lying, it has been 2 weeks) because it went back up 5lbs and It makes me sad.0

Also, I haven't had soda in over two years... but every few months I dream about drinking it. Had the last dream a few days ago. In the dream I didn't realize I was drinking a huge Dr. Pepper until I was halfway through, and was disappointed in myself for drinking it... I was disappointed in myself IN MY DREAM. Thing is, I really have to real desire to drink it except maybe two or three times a year - super hot outside... see someone having a cold (insert favorite beverage here)...and I might think about it, but don't otherwise care.
I have dreams where I'm convinced I smoked a cigarette and I wake up mad and disappointed in myself. They're extremely vivid dreams. I only occasionally have an urge to smoke a cigarette again as well.
I do this with alcohol! I quit drinking about three months ago and I have dreams where I drink so much I black out and I wake up freaking out! It's so crazy!
I quit drinking 5 years ago, and still have these from time to time.
I quit booze over 3 years ago, and I still have these on occasion! Usually involves ridiculous stuff like being drunk at work & getting fired, or getting hammered at a big family event...SUCH a relief when I wake up and realize it was a dream!

Confession: Easter brunch killed me. Quiche and blueberry cream cheese coffeecake and cheesy hashbrowns and bacon and sausage and cake and cookies and... I feel like a total slug. I did not step on the scale this morning, too scared to see the result.
Oh, and I totally forgot I was supposed to be doing a plank challenge this weekend (that started on Friday). Do you think I can knock out the two I missed before lunch and not tell the person who challenged me that I forgot?
