I'm so glad I got groceries for this week already and hopefully I'll forget about this by the time I have to go again.
That's just evil.

I once found one of those large deli subs from Wal-Mart unopened on a city bus...and ate it. The whole thing, right there on the bus. It was there when I got on so I had no idea who's it was. I am prone to binging, but this was probably the lowest form of desperation I have ever stooped too.0

She has put me on methylprednisolone and said I can't lift weights or do anything that requires waving my arms around for at least three weeks. At the same time my thyroid function has been going down so she ordered more blood work. She also wants me to eat maintenance for the three weeks where I essentially can't exercise. My confession: I know it is illogical, but I'm terrified that I will gain back tons of weight while doing this or at the very least I'll completely derail the habits I've developed and it'll be too hard to start again.
Why did she say this? I mean, health is a personal thing so if you don't want to answer that is fine. Just curious. Strange that a doctor would advise NO exercise for 3 weeks.
I've managed to injure myself somehow and it is severely inflamed (apparently). It has been like this for awhile and I've probably made it worse by not getting it checked out sooner. So it is all my fault and I can't blame anyone else for it, but that said I'm still not happy about it. I was going to the doctor anyway to get the blood work done and I decided it would probably be time to mention that I've been having problems with my arm. This is the result of being honest!
To be clear I can still exercise - I just can't do my preferred methods of exercise. So I'm trying to figure out substitutions.
E.T.A. I injured my arm somehow. I just noticed I didn't actually say what I injured. I'm sure everything was as clear as mud before hand!
That stinks! Hope it gets better soon!
I was at the doctor on Monday because of a strained rotator cuff, so not allowed to do @BZAH10 famous arm workout for awhile. I did go to the gym last night and did the AMT machine and treadmill while holding onto the machine, but no weights.
Thank you! I hope yours gets better soon as well!

As soon as people tell me a woman "shouldn't" do something I immediately want to run out and do it.
Agree 100%. I'm a woman working in a "man's" field (Engineering).
I can do anything a man can do, only better. That includes swearing and drinking beer.
On a related note, I confess that sometimes I commandeer my wife's bath pillow & bath salts, turn on the shower radio, and soak in the tub for an hour.
I can't blame you. That stuff is seriously relaxing though I usually swap in my kindle for the radio.

I have a wonderful teen daughter and a good relationship with her. I am so proud of her and want her to have my support as she choses her path in life. I am concerned that she has an eating disorder. She eats fine all day then comes home and stuffs herself to the point of pain just before I get home from work. They are pretty healthy choices just too much in one sitting. Example, a slice of homemade roast chicken and roasted veggies followed by two bowls of steel cut oats, raisins and walnuts. She had to go to the trouble of cooking the steel cut oats, we don't have instant. That's three meals in 30 minutes. She then complains of pain for the next three hours. She does not throw it up (but she has tried.) She is fit - probably BMI of 19-20.
I made an appointment with her doctor (a very intuitive and good pediatrician who my daughter likes and trusts). My daughter agreed to this but the last few days has been pissy and telling me she does not have a problem (because she didn't eat to the point of pain for one or two days out of many days of eating to the point of pain). Please with my daughter luck / good thoughts as we get to the bottom of this and get her whatever support she needs. Thanks.
Good luck, I hope everything turns out okay.

Well, it was unopened. Other people on this thread have admitted to eating things out of the trash, so I wouldn't feel too badly! Apparently you didn't die, so it wasn't poisoned or anything.0 -

The Pop Tart love is running deep today. I confess that I don't eat Pop Tarts or Oreos or ice cream and now I'm feeling like the odd ball. I don't mind. I usually am the weirdo of the group in real life, so I suppose it makes sense here, too.0 -
I never really like pop tarts that much. Even with the ice cream, it isn't really appealing to me.
This, on the other hand, I might be willing to try:
And I definitely want some of these:

I "forget" to log my calories, then "forget" just what I ate and how much.
I also keep my food diary private so when I feel honest and log things, no one else can see just how bad I blew it that day.0 -

What about making an ice cream sandwich with regular poptarts?
Had the Cake Funfetti Poptarts today with Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Cookie Core:).0 -

I just don't want to eat healthy and don't know how to get myself to change. Salad feels like a waste of space on my plate and honestly many times I'd rather see that space be empty than filled with non-starchy vegetables. I can and often do happily eat just meat or meat and starch. If I put salad on my plate it's often for show. Even though I'm the only one who sees, still just for show. I dutifully buy vegetables and put them on the plate and throw them away. Either I throw them away because they go bad or I throw them away because I put them on the plate with no desire to eat them.
But give me potatoes, corn, onions, or cabbage and I'll eat them happily. I love the less nutritious vegetables to death.
Today I put spinach in my meatball wrap. But I only did it so it would look good in my food log. It added nothing of value to the wrap and it was only about half a cup (raw! so hardly any).
Whew, I haven't been able to talk about vegetables anywhere and my best friend always comments on my diary that I need to eat more vegetables.0 -
I had to go grocery shopping today - after being told I must eat at maintenance for at least three weeks. I totally did not buy brownie ice cream or Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mix.

I think it's awesome you are an engineer! I think I remember you saying that you were a young, single mom as well. You definitely can do anything
Definitely! I had my kids at 19 and 20, then got divorced and finished my engineering degree as a single mother of 2 babies.
I'm all about empowering women. We are strong. We are invincible.
I did the same thing! Young mother, then got divorced and finished my engineering degree. I love working with mostly men, women can be so b****y sometimes in an office environment! My daughter is now in engineering school - strong women make strong women

Nah Bzah...nothing odd about that. I'm actually allergic to whatever is in the Oreo cream filling and it's amazing how many bewildered looks I get when I say I don't eat them. Same with Doritos and American made Nutella (it's different overseas). We can be weirdos enjoying other desserts. 0 -

So yay! I was under my calorie goal, but whoops! That wasn't healthy lol.
Also, can someone tell me the correct spelling: is it donut or doughnut? Or are both acceptable?
Canada: doughnut
US: donut
Canada: Timmy's
US: donut

Oh hey look at this
http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2015/04/23/spotted-on-shelves-peeps-jurassic-world-dino-eggs/
Reminded me of someone who sadly seems to have been AWOL.
And now I want some pop tarts. Although I like ice cream sandwiches made with Special K pastry crisps more.0 -
What have you guys done to me??? I bought some brown sugar and cinnamon poptarts last night.... AND TODAY I FINISHED OFF THE BOX. Six poptarts today!!! Holy crap, how many calories is that? Apparently 1260, over my calorie goal. Luckily I ate almost nothing else today. Should I hit the stationary bike?
And I was claiming to hate poptarts!0 -
I can eat the Special K pastry crisps, only 100 calories, perfect! Plus to me they taste like mini pop tarts, especially the strawberry. Never tried a pastry crisp or a pop tart with ice cream.

Bwahaha! Sorry! I can't help but laugh. This will be me if I give in and buy some.0 -
I don't understand Pop Tarts. They taste like gooey, sugary cardboard.
Toaster Strudel, I can get behind, but Pop Tarts? Blergh.
I can't have either, but given a choice from when I could, I'd be Team Toaster Strudel. At least, until I got to the Toaster Strudel post in that breast milk thread. Don't think I'll ever look at them the same again.
Yeah, no. No thanks. Too strong of a mental picture there.0 -

It looks amazing, but since I was sitting here eating tuna while looking at it, that makes it an evil post.0 -

Rather than just having a salad have you considered making like a mixed veggie bake? I'll chunk chop like zucchini, yellow squash, onions, potatoes, and green & yellow peppers into a glass pan and mix it up with some olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and Trader Joes sells something called 21 Seasoning Salute and I bake it at like 350 for like 30-45 min (pending on how thick I cut everything). If you want them a little crispy broil it on high for a few minutes at the end and toss some grated parm on top.
Orrr...in the summer make a quinoa salad with diced up tomatoes, cucumbers, tri color peppers, fresh parsley, and red onion. Some fresh lemon or lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil for dressing. So you can get your starch on but have a bunch of veggies masked in.
Life doesn't have to be iceberg lettuce and grape tomatoes lol.
Not judging, I just hate to see veggies get tossed.0 -

I keep my food diary private as well. I tend not to go over by too much. But I definitely could be eating better stuff.0 -

I am not a veggie person either. I throw out some but more often that not I just don't make them lol. I buy frozen so they aren't rotting in my fridge and are available when I do want them. I include veggies in my lunches, but honestly one serving a day is usually what I eat. And I feel the same way about salad that you do. It's never my first choice of food!
I'm trying to work more in though. Broccoli & cheddar omelets are really good, and I love BBQ'd red/yellow/orange bell peppers to eat with steak or include in fajitas/wraps.0 -
