      Most days, I really don't care if I am forever fat and unhealthy. I don't care if I have a heart attack and die. Then I think about how, if I did, my kids, although grown, would be devastated so I continue. And it just pisses me off.

      LOL Your honesty is awesome! You look great though. :)

      We got two brand new cars, courtesy (sort of) of a car wreck I had. The wreck occurred in my husband's car (not my fault), so that had to be replaced and given that we got good value in the writeoff, we were able to pony up the remainder in cash for a brand new, super unfancy 4-cyclinder Hyundai Sonata (2008). Then, after a couple years of dealing with crap, and in conjunction with me agreeing to never seek further medical expenses, we got a very nice payout from our insurance company due to our uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Had to go to mediation and play hardball, but it was worth it. At that point we upgraded my ooooold minivan (bought used in 2003), for a nicer new Honda Odyssey (a 2009 model), which seats 8 (our family of 6 plus two, this was a big deal to me). That one actually turned out to be a lemon of sorts and 8-9 months later Honda replaced it for us, and they no longer had ANY 2009's in the continental US in the color we had (and I refused to budge on this), so we got a 2010.

      I'm glad you're alright, but that accident looks terrible.

      All this talk of cars - need to confess I can't legally drive and therefore don't. Mind you, I've never bothered to take the test as I kinda hate it! So far I haven't needed to - I walk/cycle/bus/train.

      ETA: Was taught to use a manual though!

      Are you sure your fitbit is correct? I ran a marathon yesterday and only burned 2673 calories (46K steps). Unless you are running marathons every day or doing some other extended extreme exercise, your fitbit might be giving you inaccurate information...

      Also, how tall/heavy are you? Is your stride length logged correctly?

      1. I used to edit my photos to make myself look slim. Like every single one of them. Now I don't, I post photos right away wothout editing. But when I show them to people "Look how much slimmer I got" I receive "Wait, but you haven't been fat at all!".
      2. During periods I don't keep my diet and eat a lot of sweets. Then I feel guilty about it.
      3. While working quite a lot on my body, very often I can't help thinking that this is all pointless. Whatever body I have, I will never love myself and, moreover, nobody will love me. What made me think weight matters?
      That's actually how I think to.. I can confess that I have trouble loving myself and the way I look.. its why I want to change..I've had boyfriends in the past who seems to accept me for me but always while I was with them in the back of my mind I'm thinking " I don't love how big I am.. what makes me think they will love me as well" It's probably why I'm single now to be honest.

      I'm feeling really fat today. I AM fat for my natural body type. And I don't end up "curvy", either. I'm naturally fairly thin, so fat just looks lumpy and weird on me. :/ I'm trying pretty hard not to care. I've been doing pretty well in the not-caring department lately, so I hope I can snap out of it. I just want to fit into my clothes already without feeling like an overstuffed doll.

      This Is Just To Say

      I have eaten
      the plums
      that were in
      the icebox

      and which
      you were probably
      saving
      for breakfast

      Forgive me
      they were delicious
      so sweet
      and so cold

      I feel really guilty if I eat more than 1,700 calories a day. I'm honest with my log so it's not like I'm cheating myself, but that guilt will eat me alive one day.

      It's stupid o'clock in the morning I have insomnia again (and also wanted to catch up on this thread). I want something to help me drift off to sleep but am paranoid that meditations/soothing music etc. found on the internet will have hidden messages in them that I'll be too zoned out to be aware of... I know it's ridiculous!

      My 10 yo dog started limping a few days ago. I took her to the vet. I spent $550 and he told me she needs ACL surgery. That's another $2,500. He said there is a greater than 70% chance she will have to have the other leg done too..... that's at least $2,500 more.

      I'm having a really hard time with it. I love her but that is a TON of money. I feel like a horrible owner, but I keep thinking about how I can find a way to not do it.

      She's not in "that" much pain, but she is not that great either - just kind of quiet.

      I'm trying to justify it in my head even though I know I'm supposed to just do the surgery. I'm so bummed.
      How big is your dog? I ask because I had almost exactly the same situation last summer. 10 year old dog with torn ACL. MUCH more money quoted though. She's a (previously overweight) cocker spaniel/bichon cross.

      After doing a lot of research we concluded that the surgery recovery is really hard and long, and it didn't offer any guarantees. Also, smaller dogs (under 30lbs ish) often recover well without surgery. Here's what we did for Flossie:
      - put her on a strict diet. Expensive food from the vet. This was hard as she was used to being very spoiled with table scraps and any other little treats we cared to give her. She was overweight but not obese.
      - built ramps to backyard. No stairs allowed anywhere. Stairgates to prevent her going up and down anywhere.
      - No walks for about 6 weeks. Then very short ones. We are now back up to regular length walks.
      - No off-leash. Even now, we don't allow her to really run, partly for fear of damaging her bad leg again, partly because of the risk of the other leg going.

      Although Flossie still has days where she limps a bit, we're really glad we decided not to go ahead with surgery. We were advised that a 'wait and see' approach wouldn't cause any further harm, so I'd really say to give it a few weeks and see how your dog does. She now manages stairs with ease and jumps up and down to our bed. In general, she's as good as new. Losing the weight has been great for her!

      I, for one, don't think you're a horrible owner. Vet bills are expensive and although we love our pets like family, everyone has their limit financially. My dog got cancer in October. I couldn't justify paying for chemo (not that I would've had a chance anyway, she deteriorated so quickly). Some people have/find the money to make it work but others can't. From your picture I assume you have a family, so of course you have to have money to provide for them.

      As for cheaper options, would a vet school in your area do the surgery for a lower price?
      One of my friend DID opt for chemo for their much-loved German Shepherd but it was brutal for all involved (and extremely expensive). She said they would never do it again. The dog unfortunately didn't make it.

      Before inset down to catch up on today's posts, I will post my confession for today. I ran out of White Chocolate Wonderful today, my re-order has not arrived and is not expected to until Thursday (included in my order is the Dark Chocolate Dreams) My uncle suggested to me on the weekend I should just make my own dark chocolate peanut butter by roasting peanuts in the oven and while still warm, throw them in the food processor along with some high quality dark chocolate. Well, I didn't have any peanuts on hand so I took my husband's Kraft Whipped PB and melted in the microwave along with chunks of 70% dark chocolate I stole out of the trail mix bag.... all I can say is.... heaven! I haven't been this excited for breakfast tomorrow in a long time:)

      I do not think it is humanly possible for that to happen.....my DVR is always so full, plus I always have series on the go online and a never ending list of movies, most of which I will most likely never get to watch because it keeps growing! How does one run out of stuff to watch?!?!?!?!


      I don't get out much. Work/gym and that is about it. Also, it is me being the introvert. It is kind of like reading a book series, once you are done, it takes time before you find another one that is worth your time. right now I am letting The Following and Vikings just run its course so I can binge watch them...I find it easier to follow the storyline that way. most other shows that I watch I am all caught up on... there are still lots I haven't seen but am not sure if they are worth the time.

      If you have a DVR you have cable right? I only have Roku too, just this week the new season of Son's of Anarchy came out and I'm up to episode 6.

      Finished season 7 (which, sadly is the end).... just wait for the end of season 6.

      I am not in the best of moods today, and I'm afraid anything I post here will be really negative. Sooooo I'm just going to lurk in the background :)

      Me took. I snapped at my hubby on the drive to work this morning. At 11 I realized I have way too much work to do to go to the gym for my lunch and worked straight through. Left work feeling like I just want to quit my job because I just feel overloaded with no hope in catching up. Then I realized I am just about a week away from TOM and now completely understand why I feel the way I do.

      I also have been off track for weeks. I think I am just gonna stay where I am und try again after surgery in three weeks. At least I will have some time off work!

      Y'all! We don't ever keep pop tarts in the house, but my SIL sent us a care package today with red velvet pop tarts! After all the pop tart talk on this thread, I couldn't help myself and I ate a pack for dessert after I was already in the red, so now I'm a total of 600 over my goal. Sigh.

      At least it's better than the thousands I was over yesterday! Stepping down from binge-city one day at a time...

      I am now 170lbs I spent 2 years going from 191 to 123. I had the help of a fabulous online trainer. I ate 2 cinnabons yesterday with at least 64 grams of carbs each. My exercise has been off. I;ve been feeling sad that my ex died. My current boyfriend calls me names. We broke up when I was 135lbs. I started going out with him again at 151. He calls me fatty or fat *kitten*, thunder thighs. I know I am responsible for my weight. My exercising was so strong when I lost weight the first time. Many days I get hungry and eat over the limit. My preparation isn't the best. Plus I am drinking 2-3 glasses of water. I know I can turn this around. My fitnesspal helped me once but its so easy to gain weight back. The biggest thing I've said is I'll start tomorrow. That's BS. I will not say that again to let me be unhealthy today. I got this...

      And he is responsible for his behavior.....why do you put up with this??

      I have literally almost doubled in weight since I have been with my SO, who, has never said anything, ever about it....if I was ever called a name like that,ever once, that would be the last time.......

      Yeah, Rick has kind of lost it. So has Shasha. She's bonkers now. This is really mean and I feel terrible for saying it, but I wish Carl would just die already. I'm surprised he's still around.

      I'm glad Glen made it. :smile:

      @pofoster21 are you sure your FitBit is correct? I know different people burn differently, but I average 12K steps a day and maintain at 2100 a day (33, 5'5'', 130-135) and I'm really not doing much more than walking now. I would think a marathon would get you a lot more than 2700...

      I'm sure I'm with you on the calorie count.

      Between yesterday & eating the 18 Mint Fudge Oreos (like the Girl Scouts Thin Mint), the whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Half Baked, some of the Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Cookie Core, & three Friendly's cups of Cotton Candy with Pop Rocks I had another bad eating day today.

      Today I had a lot of Edy's Cinnamon Bun Fun & most of a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

      At first I was going to restrict my calories to punish myself for being a pig, but my sister knocked some sense into me not to do it. For the time being I just need to avoid buying ice cream, gelato, cookies, etc. until I can be satisfied with just one portion.

      Problem with me is that I'm a good baker and VERY creative when I want to be! I don't have to buy any of the actual desserts--I can have a bare minimum of ingredients and make something crazy out of them.

      My husband usually talks me off of that ledge. :) I'll be doing damage control for the next week or so, with my regular deficit. :(

      I don't use a Fitbit. I use a gps tracking device. And on average a 10 min mile burns 100 calories. In addition MFP returned a similar number on mile per hour times time ran. So, yes I am fairly sure it's close to accurate.

      I think it would depend on the type of cancer and what the odds were for that particular dog. Emery had lymphoma, and it was already in her liver. If I chose to do chemo, her living an extra 10 months after would've been considered a success. It wasn't worth putting her through that and spending upwards of $10,000 for less than a year.

      Sorry about your friend's dog. Cancer sucks.
