    Today is one of those days when I'm so much over I'm not even logging what I'm eating anymore and just adding quick calories because nobody needs to know that I had two bowls of ice cream tonight.
    Those days are so frustrating... at least you use quick calories. I just stop logging when I am that far gone. Sometimes, the next day after, I will go back in and log it just to see how bad I did because by then the damage is done. I feel better knowing that I am not the only one that this happens to. Sometimes I get frustrated when I see success stories where people post that they lost 20lbs in 2 months. It is taking me so much longer. *sigh* but I am getting there.

    I do the same thing! I just added my calories from last night. I am a slow looser, but it's working for me.

    I resent thin people. I've been fat my whole life, and have no idea what it's like to be thin. I know I shouldn't resent them, but damn, when I see a thin girl complaining about how those jeans make her *kitten* look big, I want to slap her in the face.
    Be mindful... Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Yes they are real and yes they are horrible

    OK. But this thread is no judgement, where people are allowed to air their complaints without someone telling them they are wrong. They are allowed to think and feel what they think and feel without worrying about offending anyone.

    I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.

    Did that taste as disgusting as it sounds?

    Lol sadly no, it seemed to do the trick, but I FELT disgusting afterwards. Though it's kind of funny now.


    Mix on serving of cottage cheese with some Hershey cocoa powder and some sweetener (splenda, stevia, sweet N low etc.) Stevia is my sweetener of choice. Mix those together and BOOM. Delicious chocolaty treat packed with protein and low in calories

    My husband and I have a 12 year old youkie named Mandy (our first child) who is on heart Medicin. The vet says do what you have to to get her to take them. (It seems to get harder and harder. Damn clever dog) So for the confession part 1: I fed her the Medicin in the last meatball so I wouldn't eat it. Now the poor thing has gas and looks miserable.
    She won't even play with my husband. Who teases Mandy about an invisible bone. She continues to nip at him with her tail a wagging. Confession 2: it's a little annoying after a while and I hope she actually nips him at some stage. Not that it would hurt because she had to have her bottom front teeth removed about a year ago.

    I had to smother my dog's bills in butter and wrap in a piece of ham lunchmeat. She loved the butter. (Real butter, not the fake stuff in a tub.)

    I confess that if I had to choose just one flavor for my food for the rest of my life, it would be salt and vinegar.

    That is a great flavor, I love it too, but almost always avoid it because I happen to like to have skin in my mouth.....

    I have completely irrational anxiety about talking on the phone to anyone but my immediate family. As a result I don't answer the phone when I don't recognise the number, most of the time I don't answer it even when I do. I absolutely hate having to call to make appointments (doctors, hair etc). Even my manager at work has taken the hint and now texts/emails me instead to ask if I can cover for someone.
    I can't remember if it's always been like this, but it is soo annoying sometimes!

    Me, too! I hate talking on the phone.

    I talk on the phone all day at work, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna pick up the phone at any other time. Text me for Pete's sake. My husband is the polar opposite; he is on his phone alllll the time. He had the day off yesterday, and he called me (I counted) 12 times. For nothing, really. And that was just me! I'm sure he was calling 100 other places, too.

    I could have written this exact post! I have four phones lines ringing in my ear all day long. I'm constantly on the phone. Except replace "husband" with youngest son in your statement for me. My husband IS always on the phone, but mostly with his large family or work-related. My youngest son is a high-maintenance child, but I'm always grateful that he's wanting to talk to me about anything and every thing. I make an exception for him as far as talking on the phone when not at work.

    My former dog took thyroid medication for 10 years, twice a day. I used to buy cheap processed cheese slices, tear off a small piece, and squish/fold his pill inside that. He gobbled it up. Just to be fair, the other dog got a small piece of cheese too, without a pill.

    I never used the cheese slices for anything else and they lasted quite well for a few days.

    As difficult as it is to get dogs to take medicine, by manager's cat is diabetic. Try giving a 16 year old Maine Coon an insulin shot twice a day, every day. The cat knows what is coming every time they try to approach him, poor thing. And, he has to go to the vet once a month for blood tests. Good thing is at least he is stable and doing better now.

    That is so hard! I have regular customer that had a diabetic dog, and he said she would jump right up for his shot cuz he knew it made him feel better.....but cats are so stubborn....

    I confess I don't log Ketchup. For no particular reason I just won't log it.

    MFP has murdered my love of ketchup. I am now forced to siracha everything. Oh man I miss ketchup, but I fear if I have some I will just pour the whole bottle down my throat I love it so much.


    Here is a lil backwards confession. I miss my fat gut every time I take a bath. It was like a perfect table to lay my computer, or book, or whatever on while i soaked for hours. Now that I am 25lbs less (!!!) barely anything sticks out of the water and I have to hold everything up.

    But one of those bathtub trays and enjoy your 25 lb. loss! Even with a tray I don't think I'd trust myself to have a laptop with me in the tub. That thing would be accidentally submerged within a matter of minutes.

    Me too. I take my tablet in the bath sometimes, but I am so nervous that I'm going to drop it one of these days.



    I take my kindle in when I take a bath but I perch myself over the edge of the tub tub so the kindle isn't over water, I know I'm weird. B)

    I do this too!

    Put it in a large ziploc bag the kind with the little plastic piece on top. That way if it falls in it won't be damaged and if your hands get wet the kindle won't.
    I do this all the time. And the touch screen still works it the bag on it.

    I am so going to try this. Yay!!!

    Great thread everyone! Now that I've caught up to the current posts I can finally post myself. Just getting to this point feels like I've smashed out a huge essay or similar. Like I've done the research required to participate or something.

    I confess I cannot stand listening to people eat. It takes me from calm to mad in 10 excruciating seconds.

    I confess that I have little interest in, nor affection for animals. Despite quite liking my cat, I glaze over with boredom when i see or hear anything animal related. I fake interest when it is unavoidable. Of course i believe they should all be fed and cared for properly and protected but beyond that, well it's just not very interesting to me.

    I confess now that I've admitted to that it may only be a matter of time before someone alludes to this being one of the common traits of a sociopath or psychopath. i guess it's a chance I'll have to take ☺

    I don't think it is! Everyone has their interests and lack thereof--My eyes glaze over during most sports, for example, and some people are bored to death with babies while everyone else makes weird cooing sounds over them. I don't think it makes anyone a sociopath or anything like that, since it isn't like they wish harm on them or something... ;)

    I'm one of those unmaternal types who are "bored to death" with babies. Everybody could be prattling on about how "cute" and "adorable" some infant is, and I just don't get it... I might as well be looking at a big bowl of broccoli as far as "cuteness" goes. Like, huh??? (fortunately I didn't have any kids, lol)

    Puppies OTOH... now that's "cute"! <3

    I support this 100%

    Seconded

    Thirded (is that a thing?)

    I am feeling a lot better about having to give my dog heart meds (orally) twice a day now. Do they have the cat declawed?
    Now here is the confession: Once I had to help my friend give her cat an injection (don't know what it was for) we had to wrap him in a towel to keep from clawing anyone. I get real upset in situations where animals make distress noises and I let go because I felt I was hurting the cat. The cat scratched her on the face. It wasn't the worst scratch but I still feel bad about it.

    No, he's not declawed. My manager and her husband have suffered a few scratches, but not too bad. They do just wrap him up in a towel as well. He's not too vocal about it when it's happening. He's mainly just distant and sulky (kind of like a moody teenager!) for a while afterwards.

    Yep. I had a cat who had to take a daily pill for a couple of years, and managed to get forcing her to swallow it down to a science. Weirdly enough once I learned how it was much easier than trying to get them to eat something hidden in food--I have a powder I'm supposed to give one of mine, and it's extremely difficult.

    Also, trying to put one on a diet when you have two who are used to eating together is extremely hard. I'm constantly feeling guilty that I can't do better at getting my fat boy (he's not that fat, but definitely would be better off if he lost a couple of pounds) to lose weight.

    Also just had to say I LOVE your avatar pic! So cute.

    Just a couple things (sorry for the lack of quotes but there's just so many comments I want to respond to):
    1. Thanks, everyone, for all of your "good luck" comments and advice with the phone interview stuff. I really appreciate it and hopefully will not fail miserably. :)
    2. I hate talking on the phone. Hate it. So yeah, this afternoon is going to be awesome. :/
    3. Hair in a tub/sink/on the walls, etc. totally disgusts me. :s
    4. Love animals. Kids/babies...eh. I get being proud of your kid and wanting to post pictures of every. Single. Thing. They. Do. On Facebook, etc. But I can't say that I like having to constantly scroll past it or give it the obligatory "like". Sorry. :#
    5. I don't expect everyone to always have perfect grammar/spelling. I certainly don't. But it's "lose". "Lose" weight. Not "loose" weight. "All 'loose' and no 'lose' makes Overlook an annoyed girl." ;)

    I also have no interest in animals. I am not saying I don't care about them...if you are abusing them, you deserve the same treatment, but since I am not an animal lover, I feel like it would be irresponsible for me to own one. I am allergic to cats, and though I grew up with dogs (and loved them), I do not like it when my friends' animals touch me. "I don't want you to touch me and I don't want to be your friend. Go slobber on someone who loves you!"

    I am actually kind of excited to start a bit of exercise since throwing out my back on 4/8. It's starting to feel normal again. Gonna start doing some walking tomorrow and incorporate some back strengthening exercises once I feel confident that my back will hold up. This is the second time I've thrown out my back. Last Thursday was excruciating. I am going to try my hardest to prevent this.
    A core/back strengthening thing that worked for me was starting to sit on a yoga ball (professor here so I sit in front of a computer a lot). I've never thrown out my back, but had to do a bunch of PT for an "overly-flexible" disc, and making the chair swap did a lot of good things for me. YMMV, obviously.
