I'm also done updating my weight on MFP, because it keeps dropping my calories and I'm too lazy to set it manually.
I quick add calories to avoid diary entries like "Pringles, one tube."
All of these. Trying to break that habit though now
I also will guesstimate things instead of actually weighing because I'm lazy....I even have the kitchen scale and everything.

I confess that I have never had talenti. I'm pretty sure I've had gelato...maybe? I'm nervous to try it because I already occasionally have to get Ben and Jerry's half baked...
There are a lot of foods that I've read about on MFP that I've never tried before. The descriptions people give make them sound absolutely divine. It is about the time it really starts sounding good to me that I decide I will never ever try them. I do not need that much temptation in my life.I need to find someone who buys talenti so I can try it, just to see if it lives up to the hype. Any more than a spoonful would make me sick, so not really worth it to buy it myself.

I watch my 600 lb life and feel secretly superior. It shows that there are people a lot bigger than I am. (I know, I'm sorry)0

2nd Confession: I haven't been called for the job I applied for last week, but it's still posted online so they're probably waiting until it closes, but why wouldn't they want to get a head start on interviewing me? Aside from my hulu watching on a friday afternoon, I'm very good at what I do.
Backstrom looked entertaining, but I never got around to watching or DVRing. Worth watching, OJ?
I like it. I can't think of anyone else other than Rainn Wilson to play this role! It fits him so well

No judgement here either. I regularly read YA novels. I feel a little weird buying them sometimes, but I just like them. Maggie Stiefvater is my favourite YA author.
I have a training session after work, no time to go home in between. I was still hungry after my normal snacks so I stopped and got a donut.
#NoRagrets. (But I'm not telling my trainer)
Our city recently built a new library with a designated teen area. Basically, they did it to keep teens from running rampant all over the library after school (it used to be a big problem), but I'm secretly annoyed because I look like such a creeper if I try to access my beloved YA novels. *shakes fist*0 -
I can hardly manage to quote 1 person on my phone let alone multiple people, but I did want to thank those people who responded so kindly to my fear of judgey co-workers/my anxious brain. This is the best thread on mfp. I don't post much but I enjoy keeping up with this thread daily.0

Interesting... my husband and I are at a crossroads like that. We live in a city where there are good jobs and lots of money but not a lot to do for people who are dinks (Double Income No Kids). We have considered moving across the country where we are closer to the Eastern US so we can explore all the different cities out that way but the jobs and $$ is just not as good. I also want to start trying for a baby soon and feel bad for my parents/his parents if were were to leave b/c they would be missing out. It's such a hard balance some times. Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.

This is interesting. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and our economy is flourishing, despite the price of oil. My husband and I had considered moving to Atlantic Canada for a couple of years, so our kids could experience it, but there is no way we could afford it on the going rate for wages, as compared to what we make right now.[/quote]
I am in Edmonton and have a secure job that is not affected by oil prices either. Hubby and I have considered a move to the Atlantic, he has family in Nova Scotia. we also considered a move to southern Ontario but the numbers (cost of living vs. Income) just don't work for us right now. Maybe it will in a few years once we save some more.

That movie is freakin' terrible! I rarely sit down and watch a movie and I was hugely disappointed with this one. The acting was terrible, the writing was so stilted. I am usually not very judgemental at movies, but blech! Other super terrible movies (I think we've done this once before, but oh well): The Truman Show, The Village, Sex Tape - didn't finish that one, too stupid.
@quiksylver296 The Truman Show?! You hate that movie?! I'm starting to rethink our pretend internet friendship.
Yep, Mo, almost got up and walked out of the theater. So, so, so bad. But, for totally cheesy but still love it, how about Crybaby with Johnny Depp? So bad, it's good. Or the fourth Indiana Jones - and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I love that one because they spoof on themselves. So funny!
I love Crybaby. I haven't seen it in forever, but I pretty much love anything with Johnny Depp.
With a few exceptions I can't seem to bring to mind now.
Am I back to internet twin, then, Mo?
Confession: I made my 10-year-old son read then watch The Princess Bride. He hated it. I love it, so, so much. (By "making my son read" really means I read it as his bedtime book.) Favorite line - "I'm not a witch. I'm your wife!"
We are indeed friends again, @quiksylver296 . I love that movie so much, I got if for my first anniversary from my husband. I also love Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Or maybe, I just love Carey Elwes.
I have a 14yo daughter to whom I am contemplating introducing to Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
And Carey Elwes is hot.0 -

Thanks. Now I can't get that song out of my head.

I was feeling tired last night and just ate a whole bunch of food (probably 1000 calories) that I didn't need in the evening. Still felt full at bedtime. I normally eat two meals a day (known commonly as intermittent fasting), and I wasn't really hungry. Just tired. You know, emotional eating. Anyway, I am over it. Back on track today and feeling much better. But I won't check the scale until Sunday...0

Awesome! This makes me unreasonably happy. I guess this is the first time in a long time I feel like I've actually helped someone else.
I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.
I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.
And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.
Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.
Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.
Sorry you feel that way IRL, here I think your posts are great!
Thank you. I'm at a crossroad: do I make some personal changes and see where it goes (could be better; could be worse)? Or do I just keep living my mediocre life? I know the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there, so I just don't want to make the wrong decision. But, no risks, no rewards, right?
I read a quote recently that reminded me of myself: "My decision-making skills resemble that of a squirrel crossing the street."

Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.
I live on the East Coast (Boston area) right now. FWIW I would say if you want to move, the time to do it is before kids. If it wouldn't harm your career trajectory, you can discover a new place and enjoy your childless freedom. you could also afford a smaller place like and awesome loft etc. You can always move back to your parents when you have a baby, or not. Plus even if you did have a baby, they are pretty portable until they high kindergarten. However, the benefit of inlaws/parents when you have a little one cannot be understated.
But I like to move around and get a three year itch when I stay one place for too long.
Boston is on our list of places we would love to visit. My husband is 7'2" and my husband hates flying as he gets quite claustrophobic (even when getting the emergency exit rows or the bulk heads). We have flown to Vegas, San Fran, and New York. We were in NYC for Christmas and New Years 2012 and after that he was done with flying. So far, from where we live, we have driven to Seattle (13.5 hours), Spokane (10.5) hours, Minneapolis (19) hours and we've done this one twice as we are Vikings fans, and last but not least, Chicago (26 hours and we stopped in MN to catch a Vikings game). 28 hours was about our max we could do in one shot and Boston is about 42 hours w/o stopping. Hence, why we would love to move closer to east once we save some more $$$.
I wish I had kahonas to pick up and move every three years to check out new places. The stress of trying to find a new place to live and work would be a bit much for me, I think.

My confession I have a son in College in Dekalb and another in Iowa. I had to look up distance of Quad cities because I didn't consider that close to Dekalb. About 100 miles in between if anyone cares
I am 65 miles from where tornado touched down
I guess distance is relative. 100 miles is in the neighborhood to me.
Those storms went right over us and triggered all of our storm warning systems.0 -
