My confession: A very long time ago I was craving, really, really craving chocolate. None in the house so ate 4 squares of Laxettes (almost tastes like chocolate) Certainly got rid of everything the next day lol.

I feel like a loser because I don't ever really have any GOOD confessions for this oh, so worthy thread, but here goes.
Confession 1: I packed an awesome lunch today and wanted to devour it before 11 this morning. I don't take lunch until 1. I managed to make it until noon, but now I'm sad because my food is over. I often get sad when my food is over.
Confession 2: I totally had Dr. Pepper last night with my Auntie Anne's pretzel bites and didn't log it. Oops.
My youngest (8) has a bad habit of taking bites out of her lunch why she packs it. The school policy is no junk food (crisps/chips, chocolate, cookies/biscuits) so it's not like it's something sweet. Came down stairs yesterday and she had half her sandwich gone. This was after her breakfast.
Errrrr, what?! How is that even enforced and why? I'm all for encouraging healthy habits, but this seems a bit extreme.
My children's school is the same. I'm used to it now.0 -
I managed to eat a whole 160g bag of chips, as well as two candybars last night... over 1400 calories of junk.0

All the discussion on clothes last night sent me to Marshalls on way home. Ended up with 2 cute skirts, a few sweaters and 2 exercise items. Oh and super cute black sandals. The skirts and sweaters I justify as looking good at work. Work clothes are always allowed. No excuse for the like 450th exercise jacket I now own.smashley_mashley wrote: »geraldinemyoung17 wrote: »Is this thread about diet and exercise confessions, or just about anything?

- I don't measure my portions, I just guess, so I am pretty sure my calories are not right.
- oh, and I HATE beets! Just typing this gave me the huzzes.
It can be Anything!
I was at work reading this thread and didn't get a chance to look at all the dresses from modcloth and 1861 so I spent a few hours after dinner. I love what I saw but feel that I need to hit my gw first (I don't want to buy fancy stuff only to shrink more and it become too big). I was also browsing all the leggings and tights from sock dreams. Now all I want to do is go on a massive shopping spree for dresses, leggings/tights, and cute shoes.

It makes me feel better that I get to subtract 5 off the reading.

I can't keep peanut butter in my house. I eat all of it. I do keep the powdered stuff but only eat it when craving something sweet. I'll mix up 2 tbsp of it. Takes care of the cravings but isn't good enough to indulge in.0 -

To confirm - lick the spoon, not the toast.0 -
Enjoying early morning post breakfast back in bed cat petting extravaganza before I need to start my day. Much purring is involved.0

Good thing you confirmed... I was wondering for a second there!0 -
I gave myself free reign to eat and not exercise while I had a cousin staying - there was a lot of standing in lines (that burns calories, right?) and eating churros and lactose free icecream.
I've maintained my weight and that has made me super pissy.0 -
I don't know if I'll be disciplined enough to keep doing my biofeedback work while I'm at IAFC next month.0

US and Canada sizes are the same. I believe UK is 4 larger (well, 2, because they jump by even numbers.WestCoastJo82 wrote: »I love so many of these dresses! Anyone know how UK or Canada sizing translates to US? I think UK is 4 more, but don't know about Canada...

This was me this morning! Been 'good' (I hate that word in relation to losing weight) all week - exercised, below calories - and nothing, not 1 sodding pound off! And I'm fat enough that this weight should be shifting easier than that! Also fighting the urge to binge away disappointed feelings!

I blame all the romantic comedies that I'm hopelessly addicted to.
One morning I was walking from the train to work and a man asked me if I wanted to get coffee. I turned him down, I was not interested in him, I have a boyfriend, it was before 8am and I needed to get to work. But this lead to a discussion of ways we'd been asked out, my personal favourite was when someone wrote his email address in a book I was about to buy after starting talking in the bookshop. But a girl I worked with had had a message, not on Craigslist, but in a magazine or paper, saying you were the girl in the robot t-shirt, I was the guy talking to you... She didn't contact him! I thought having been the subject of one of these was pretty cool though.
Awww...:) Yeah, that's the kind of thing I would love to have happen to me someday. The closest I ever came was a guy approaching me to tell me that he couldn't help but notice...that my shirt was on inside out.

Two guys have approached me, one when I was 17 and when I was 19. The first one was impressive, I was walking with a friend and he told me he was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, honestly I figured it was some kind of joke and turned him down, it was just so odd. Second one was in the subway and he was probably 10 years older than me or something... It's actually sorta annoying when it happens and I would have a hard time going through with it.
My confession is that it's still pretty nice when that happens, lol!0 -

My children's school is the same. I'm used to it now.
my kids school does this too. sort of. The meal must be "balanced" so you cant send a bag of chips and a can of pop and call it lunch. You can send a snack sized bag of chips along with a sandwich and an apple.
If the lunch you packed is not a "balanced" lunch, they will give your child a sack lunch from the kitchen, which is a cheese sandwich on wholegrain bread, a fruit, a carton of milk, and a oatmeal cookie.
Then you get a nasty note about the inadequate lunch you packed. So that is how they enforce it. I know this because I asked the school at length about it.
My son has a sensory disorder, so basically his lunches are the same thing, everyday, with no variation. I was worried I would get nasty notes about it, but they assured me that was not the case! Thank goodness.

I confess that I just sent two Jehovah witnesses away this morning. First time I see them show up in this neighborhood... they started talking to me about out of control children nowadays, while my dog was barking at them through the screen, then my kid showed up and I appreciated the irony.
Got no time for that.0 -

I confess, that one time when I was a teenager, my friends and I were high and invited the Jehovah's Witnesses in and asked them all sorts of questions while playing a Violent Femmes CD.

Office Lunch and End of Financial Year Party - Uh Oh....
In my defence this is rare and I did bank calories/kilojoules to allow for most of it.... but before seeing it like this I never would have given it a seconds thought. This is my maintenance kilojoules (approx 7000) for two whole days!!
I don't know if I should be, but I'm impressed lol.0 -

After having engrained in my brain in high school thanks to my Father, I suck in my gut all the time....on the couch, walking, everywhere...all the time.
Let's not forget about Mom....she used to call me 'Thunder Thighs'...

I confess that a previous confession in this thread made me turn the toilet paper around to the face the wall, just to see if my sister (who we're always teasing has slight OCD tendencies) will turn it back around 0

my next door neighbor is a hoarder, he keeps it contained in his house and garage, it doesn't spill out into his yard. It took him a couple years to get his cedar shingle siding painted, which was kind of annoying and I try not to judge him. However, every now and then he likes to show me how sophisticated he is by blasting classical music like beethoven from his front porch.0

I confess that while I only purchase organic produce and I avoid processed foods, I really, truly love Diet Coke. I do get the irony, but seeing a Diet Coke in the fridge first thing in the morning makes me indescribably happy.0
