Once a month I go to Godiva and get a chocolate of my choice. Sometimes it makes the log.... but not always.0

While you're at it, try using a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon to eat ice cream with... I tried that once, to force myself to make the last partial scoops from a beloved flavor's container last as long as possible (instead, it merely tested my sanity (and I nearly failed said 'test' ;P )).
On a related note, it occurred to me that the dinky 1/4-teaspoon -sized measuring spoon I was using resembled more of a toy scoop-shovel that was better suited for hanging in the garage of a dollhouse, and (per the time it took for me to finish using said itty bitty piece of plastic, for the purpose of (glacially, as it turned out) removing barely visible 'samples' from the hard-as-a-rock ice cream (which was practically taunting me with its militantly-adhering-to-itself 'defiance' of that laughably small (and surprisingly flimsy) spoon)), the spoon would seem to have been errantly given a thumbs-up by quality control personnel, during the manufacturing process, what with said spoon having been labelled "1/4 teaspoon", but its capacity having been more like "2 or 3 molecules" (or so it would seem).

I use the tiniest imaginable spoon to eat ALL of my desserts, so that I can properly savor them rather than just gulping them down (I've always done this, way before I ever started counting calories.

My confession today is that I chew the skin around my nails on my fingers, when I'm not chewing them I pick them. It looks gross and it hurts but I can't stop doing it. I'm nearly 33 and have been doing it since I was about 11. Every now and again I stop it but then I always start up again. Nasty habit!
Same here! I chew on my nails, then when I've chewed them down to nothing I start on my cuticles. My only solution? Bitrex nail polish. I smear it all over the nails AND cuticles, and there's no way I am putting that near my mouth! Here's a random link to the stuff (I don't buy this brand since it isn't available where I live, but I *think* this is the same thing.) http://www.amazon.com/Super-Nail-Bite-More-oz/dp/B000AADFGG 0 -

My love for the movie Dirty Dancing will never die. It was on TV earlier and I have to watch it no matter what. I love the soundtrack. It's one of my not-guilty pleasures.
It's one of those movies I will watch on TV, even with all the adverts, even though I could just dig out the DVD and watch it ad free.

I made my daughter's first Easter dress and the sleeve fell off at church! Never attempted sewing again![/quote]
I laughed out loud at this one (probably due to anxiety). Although I am not a seamstress I did make my wedding dress (with help form a seamstress). I took it apart and refashioned it for my oldest daughters communion and am now in the process of altering it for my youngest communion. This would be my biggest fear.

I spend too much time here every day, doling out advice and encouragement, telling people about CICO, how to succeed, etc etc etc....
I have not lost any weight (that I have kept off) in SIX MONTHS.
That's right, I have "maintained" (read: lost weight, then stuffed my fat face) for half a year. It's a miracle I haven't actually gained.
I'm complacent, and I make excuses, and I'm basically just being totally crap at this weight loss thing. And you know what? I RESENT knowing how much I know about weight loss, because in the past, I'd have "mixed it up" byt going for a "kickstart" and doing a few weeks of shakes, or majorly low carb, or chowing down some "Fatblaster Max". And now I know that all there is for it is to stop being an *kitten* about it and get it done.
And I'm writing ALL this knowing I'm about to go on a 5 day holiday which I will AGAIN use as an excuse to say "I'll get back to it next week, this is special circumstances, I don't have much of a choice what I eat, so stuff it."
I need a damn good slapping.
In my books maintaining is a big WELL DONE!! I think we have all be there done that. I always hated that saying…. it took more than a year to gain it and it will take more than a year to loose it. Well because I want it all off NOW!!!
Edited: because I did the Quotes Correctly. 0 -

I bought myself a colouring book today. That in itself seems uninteresting but I haven't done anything artistic since I finished my degree 2 years ago and after applying for jobs for 8 months and getting nowhere, I realised that you have to know someone to get into any design based industry. After falling in love with design and getting an upper second (3 points away from a first) I thought that would be the job I would do for the rest of my life, but when life forced me to just get any job to earn money I realised not only that my dream won't come true, but I had wasted 3 years of my life gaining a useless degree. This resulted in a 3 stone weight gain in 2 years. It has been too painful to even doodle, I've had no inspiration at all. After getting upset last night about everything my SO said, "do what ever makes you happy". I took that as go shopping. While shopping today I came across a pattern colouring book and I decided THAT is what makes me happy. Being creative. So I bought it. I see this as progress towards being happy again. I might even pick up my old film camera again...
Just thought I'd say hi and sorry it went that way for you. I just wanted to encourage you. I LOVED art in school. There was a photo of me getting my A-level art in our local paper because it was one of the top grades in the country. But I didn't pursue it any further because I just didn't think I could make a career out of it. But I still find outlets. I make scale dollhouse miniature food and quilts. I sell what I don't keep on Etsy. I'm not about to quit my day job, but knowing people on 4 different continents have enjoyed them is pretty satisfying. It doesn't really matter if you make a career or even pocket money from your art, just do something that satisfies you! Even if that creative outlet is icing troll faces on gingerbread cookies...0 -

I'm so sick - well not really, I'm not bed-ridden. But I haven't been this sick (proper sick-headache, fever, and cough) in well over a year so I'm kind of hamming it up and totally used my sore throat as an excuse to have a big serve of ice cream. And it was FREAKING delicious.0

Ok, here it goes.... AGAIN no judgements. I didn't care what i looked like for a solid year or how much I ate. I could eat a whole large pizza w everything on it BY MYSELF. I could eat a whole box of cookies and 1/2 gal milk in one sitting. I use to go to all you can eat buffets and go up at least 3-6 times, I ate until I was stuffed like thankgiving stuffed for a year. I gained 65 lbs and every time i start feeling good, I go off my diet and gain again, and when I do... I gain twice as much as loss. Reason? I lost my son a year ago.... And struggling to care again. Really wanting to change this time.
I am so sorry for your loss, mskurski.
Whatever the underlying reasons are for us--since I have not dealt with anything so hard--it really is frustrating that it seems to come down to caring. Once you care it's possible to do pretty much all the rest, but how we can make ourselves care when we don't, I wish I understood.0 -

I am all caught up from this weekends posts. My, you all have been chatty.
Confession: I found out last Sunday (as in on Easter) that my 19 year old step-daughter is pregnant, which means I am going to be a grandma at 35!!! I have been really struggling with this fact and didn't handle the news in the best way. I even drove 2 hours to tell my best friend the news. She, even though she teased my relentlessly, made me feel much better about the whole situation.
We even came up with a cute name for the baby to call me...MoNana. :
Whoa! That's big news. For what it's worth, I think that having young grandparents is really enviable. Three of my grandparents died either before I was born or when I was quite young.
This so much. People have kids quite late in my family. My grandma was 46 when she had my mum, and 76 when I came along. Thankfully she lived to 100 so I did get to know her a bit, but I am a bit jealous of people who still have grandparents beyond their early twenties.0 -
Confession: My coworker who had the stroke a couple weeks ago passed away this weekend. I was off yesterday (and today) and no one I actively work with has reached out to tell me. A former coworker (still with the company, just not the department) texted to ask how everyone was handling it, which is how I found out. I'm obviously sad, but also kind of pissed off. It's an odd mix.
Also, I hate the flood of posts you get on Facebook for your birthday. I haven't really talked to most of these people all year, I don't think I need a stupid post from them now.0 -
The last two weeks i have felt like there has been no progress made and my motivation has plummeted completely, therefore, I have not been eating as well as i should have and my workouts have been minimal. I NEED to get back on track! I still have 30lbs to lose!0

Sorry to hear that, I can understand your irritation.

spamarie, I can relate to the envy of which you speak... and would give years from my life (were it some sort of 'barterable currency'), in order to have even one more second with my grandmother (it's been years since she passed, but just typing that brought tears to my eyes (suffice it to say, I'll always miss her))... and similiar to what you conveyed, when I catch glimpses of adults in a mall or public establishment who are with what appears to be one of their grandparents, I secretly wonder if they have any idea just how lucky they are to still have a grandparent in their life...0 -
I confess that I had a pretty bad ice cream binge yesterday.
I ate two pints of Talenti Salted Caramel Peanut & a Pint of Jeni's Brown Almond Butter Brittle that I am counting in other days this week.
I also had the rest of my Talenti Egg Nog, Edy's Mint Chocolate Chip, Jeni's Savannah Buttermint, & Jeni's Goat Cheese with Red Cherries that I just plugged in my diary yesterday as my later snack & dinner.

Yeah totally- I thought I should test the weirdness waters with the popcorn confession, but I often eat with chopsticks for self pacing... only around people who know and accept my weirdness though
(or on my lonesome)
My other weapon of choice is the mighty teaspoon.
I never can fully enjoy food by knife and fork. I'll just be there thinking about how I miss my spoons and sticks
Ah, but there are no weirdness waters in this thread. Or it's all such a cascade of weirdness that one mere drop will never stand out.
I'm envious of your ability to use chopsticks. I've never been able to master the skill, as manual dexterity is not my strong suit.
Ah but the more incompetent you are with the sticks the longer your food lasts that's the beauty of it totally got judged
I've used a fork to eat yogurt a few times at work & everyone laughed.

I was off yesterday (and today) and no one I actively work with has reached out to tell me. A former coworker (still with the company, just not the department) texted to ask how everyone was handling it, which is how I found out. I'm obviously sad, but also kind of pissed off. It's an odd mix.
Also, I hate the flood of posts you get on Facebook for your birthday. I haven't really talked to most of these people all year, I don't think I need a stupid post from them now.
Agreed, this is why I don't have FB. You find out very quickly who your real friends are...and who out of your family really give a Sh**0
