Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I'm Jessi, and apparently I was ahead of the curve. Seems there were a crapton of Jessicas born when I was in middle school and high school. I was the only one at school, but we had about 12 Jennifers.
Jennifer was by far the most common girl's name for years, including when I was born and when you were born (checked your profile). Even now I get called Jennifer all the time when people can't remember my name even though the only similarity is three syllables.
I was almost named Jennifer, but my mother changed her mind at the last minute. Apparently if I'd been a boy I'd have been Derek. (I only have a sister, so this has not been tested.)0 -

I have the 8th most popular name of the decade I was born in. My sister is 3rd, my youngest sister is 14th, I have cousins in 4th and 6th (all female). I have a male cousin in 3rd.
My husband's name was 3rd most popular in the decade he was born in.
My kids are respectively: not in the top 200 (157th spelled with e rather than a), 18th (classic name, after his great-grandfather), not in the top 200 (57th if you add an e at the end) and 24th, yet they all have normal names. Hooray!

Confession 1 - I miss this thread and can't wait to catch up.
Confession 2 - Flights to Orlando make me *kitten* despise Disney (both the World and Walt for creating it) and children in general (or maybe their *kitten* terrible awful parents).
Confession 3 - A hefty portion of my expense reimbursement will be for alcohol. I will defend myself with Confession 2 if challenged.
Confession 4 - So. Many. Peeps.0 -

Hi!
Got my son the "mystery peeps." They weren't much of a mystery, since you could smell what flavor it was as soon as you opened them.0 -

Welcome back. This thread missed you.0 -

You chose to have those children--it is your job to figure it out.
Giving people with children so many special privileges in an already overpopulated world is so incredibly irresponsible. It makes me very angry.
That doesn't sound at all judgy! (rungirl - you better not let judgy pants know if you have a messy house because of said children!)0 -

I don't even know much about you @tincanonastring but I did enjoy your posts and I'm excited to see what you post next!0 -

P.S. I fully understand they mean full-sugar soda, but it makes me twitchy regardless.
I'm with you on this one, definite pet peeve.

Welcome back! Hope you are done traveling, if not soon!0 -
I lie to fam and friends how much weight I've lost so I feel better about myself. Not fooling anybody though ... big belly ... even bigger butt.0

I have a very unusualy (ancient Welsh) name, which looks on paper to be close to Ellen. People call me Ellen. I correct them. They continue calling me Ellen. I correct them. They continue calling me Ellen. It drives me nuts, it's like they don't even try.0

So today was the last day of my French class, and to celebrate everyone brought in food (I brought in a big bag of chocolate covered raisins). I ate a bunch of things and have no way of logging them, so I'm feeling a little down about myself. I feel like I have fallen a bit off the wagon in the last couple of days, and considering I only lost two pounds so far I can EASILY gain those back right away and have to start over
EDIT: Checked BabyCenter, apparently my name was #96 for the year I was born.0 -

I went to a very small Catholic school from 1st through 8th grade - there were 6 girls in my grade, three were named Jennifer.
Apparently I was almost Jackie, but then went and got born on January 1st, which is the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, so I am Mary.

They come in flavors?? I thought they were all just marshmallow and colored sugar. I had no idea.

I don't log all my calories and I'm not ashamed to admit it.0

I confess that I've done a lot of procrastinating at work today.
I also confess that food has been on my mind almost constantly for the last three days.
Finally, I confess that I am in denial about being on a plane back to China in 3.5 days.0 -

It's only recently they've been doing that. I think they actually started with some of the Halloween ones to jump on the pumpkin spice craze.0 -
I'm a Jennifer too.
We're meeting a bunch of family this weekend for dinner. I shot down everyone's restaurant suggestions until one met my nutritional standards. I felt bad because many of the suggested restaurants were ones I would have jumped at in the past and now everyone unwittingly has to conform to me. They are also all kind of pissy that I was being difficult.
Oh well. Too bad, so sad!0 -
I didn't do a single thing today. I wallowed in my laziness... 0

I have a habit of binge eating. Then beating myself up for it.0
-
I am consuming my remaining calories in hot chocolate, candy, and cookies.0

A privilege? I have twins. Being able to park closer = safety. Clearly you've never had two small kids try to run off in a parking lot.
Nobody's responsibility but yours. Here's a thought--leave the kids at home if they are that out of control.0 -
I get really bummed when people don't ask if I want anything because they assume I can't eat at a location because it's "unhealthy". 0

I haven't had a Pap smear since before my three year old was born. Actually since before I got pregnant...like a few years before.
I cannot relax enough to get it done, and I have made several appointments. Sometimes I even get as far as to change into the gown.
As soon as the nurse/doctor comes in My brain goes "RAPE! DANGER! FIRE!!!!" And I am unable to get my feet in the stirrups.
When not on anxiety medication, I have similar experiences doing mundane things, like buying yogurt. (How long have I been in the yogurt section? Too long? Should I just leave? I bet they all think I am some sort of yogurt fetishist. Well now I can't leave without the yogurt....I've come too far!)
I have the same issue with paps
I have even vomited in the DR'S exam room waiting
Last time she took advantage of the fact I was having surgery, and did it while I was under, not sure what will happen next time.
Once I even took a mixture of perks, gravel and lorazapam
Still got so worked up it never happened

There are a lot of places which, on the surface, sound like nothing will be doable, but if you poke around on their nutritional info online, you can find something just about everywhere. Even easier if it's only diet related and not allergen related.0 -
Occasionally, I celebrate the fact that I put in effort, instead of celebrating results. I celebrate by eating junk food while watching movies and I over do it. I have eaten an entire pint of ice cream along with half a bag of chips, after doing an exam (I didn't even know if I did well on the exam or not....later I found out I didn't). Also, I make excuses when I planned to go out and exercise, such as having a test in a couple of days. But then I end up doing nothing productive.0
