Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I'm pretty self conscious about my body, I have super athletic legs, a fat belly, and average looking arms. I've been doing some serious weight lifting and while I've only lost an inch off of my belly, I noticed that I've developing some pretty mean trapezius muscles... totally not what I needed.0

I feel the same about Daryl. I think I would truly be heartbroken if he died.
Yep, if Daryl dies, we riot!!! I am hoping Rick comes back from the Shane direction he is going. Maybe Morgan can do that. I was very excited to see him in the last couple of episodes. I am very interested in seeing the spin off this summer about the beginning of the ZA and how it progressed.0 -
Confession: I never log the butter I put on my english muffin on the days that I can actually get breakfast... I just don't go overboard and shrug off the whatever-calories it was since I'm usually under my goal anyway.0

If you don't slather it on, you probably aren't adding to many calories anyways. I grew up with margarine and was surprised that butter wasn't that high in calories.0 -
So I've had to do some soul-searching since bring up my daughter here (you all are terrific, thanks). There are enough symptoms to indicate a possible eating disorder and some that indicate a physical problem. Her doctor and I will keep sorting through them and get her whatever she needs. But... assuming she does have an eating disorder, does it make any sense for me to be watching my weight on here? I really asked myself that and didn't log food/exercise for a few days. I'm still thinking about it. I'm at a healthy, normal weight. I met my initial goal (in my head) of losing the 2 - 3 pound creep up I gained in the last year. But I thought I'd build in a little cushion as I'm at the "high" weight of the three weights I like. We are not talking big numbers (five pounds to eight pounds depending on what end of what fluctuation you measure from...but at my leisurely rate it could be a year to do it...fine with me, just slow movement in the right direction). What I've tentatively decided (and I didn't tell her I was recording my foods, etc.) is to keep recording and keep adding in more exercises to my daily routine. My weekends are non-stop moving working on my house and landscape or being out and about with my SO. My weekdays I'm getting more and more built in. I figure that by keeping on track and adding in more activity I'll slowly inch down without it being a "thing". It just seems weird for me to lose weight when she is ordered not to, I know we're different people, I just want to be supportive of her health when I don't "need" to lose. UGH. I'm rambling.
That sounds like something to talk with her doc about. MFP could be a good tool for all of you to help her see what her eating looks like. There are many people recovering from eating disorders here too. If you are both concentrating on being healthy it may be a good thing.
Keep up the good fight. Your daughter is lucky to have you.0 -

I'm always very pleased at how much 3g of butter is, and how few calories it is! Mmmm butter.0 -
Inspection people are here. Everybody's freaking out a little. Except me. Think I'll just sit here and eat my string cheese until somebody needs me.0

For me it is Daryl....he is wicked with the crossbow, can survive in the woods, kill and cook me dinner, and has a soft spot for those that are loyal to him (Carol and Beth). He is also easy on the eyes! I love him (Norman Reedus) in the movie "The Boondock Saints".
I miss Beth. My jaw hit the floor the way she went out. I thought she and Daryl were going to hook up before she was taken.
*Makes a note to add The Boondock Saints to Netflix queue.

Mine's a little bit different from that, but I do recognize parts of it, especially the escape bit. It's really interesting - I've never thought about it like that, that it's a kind of me time when I don't have to think about other things.
Confession: I don't know how to drive. Full stop. I'm 34, and I've never even attempted driving lessons because I'm scared shitless of failing and of being too dumb/inept to drive. Ditto for the theory part. Nope. I'll fail that too, says the malicious little voice in my head. Luckily I live in a small town where I can bike almost anywhere, and I do, all year round. Though I have to admit biking in winter sucks horribly. The chains and gears get really stiff once you go down past -25°C...
Thank you! Sadly, I've forgot the name of the artist and Google is of no help. I'd like to credit them properly.
So what if you fail? It only costs you the price of the test. I was scared of driving. I failed my driving test 5 times. I passed on the 6th attempt. It was all mental with me. I would freak myself out and do something stupid. Then during my 6th test I made a mistake I thought was so bad I'd already failed, so the mental pressure was off and I drove just fine. The mistake was only deemed a 'minor' and I passed. Then I didn't drive for 8 years because I still secretly felt my pass was a fluke. Took some refresher lessons, since there was no pressure to pass they went just fine. And now I've been able to move to the countryside (impossible without my own car).
Oh and I drive a stick (I'm British). None of my 5 driving test fails were due to gear changes/clutch issues. I don't understand why people find that part so difficult, it just takes a little practice.

nonoelmo, it's really important that you keep a positive, self-image for yourself and of yourself, because if your daughter has an eating disorder, it's going to be very important that you show her a healthy, self-image includes taking care of yourself in every way you can. Most young girls have no role models, particularly with self-esteem, this would be a good way for you to help her. (It's OK to ramble )
Well said!

I love Monster too. I had a similar experience. The cashier told me I was going to have a stroke because one of his friends that drinks them had one. He kept going on about how they aren't good for you. I was like Ok...
I too drink 1 Monster a day. The White Zero Ultra is my kryptonite!

I don't know about cutting it, but I volunteer as tribute to wash it for him.

Me too. I about lost it when I thought Glen was done for. When he showed up all badass, I yelled, "Yay!"

Why am I just now hearing about this?! What is it called and when does it start?! I need this in my life to get me through to the next season. After I finish rewatching all the previous seasons, of course.

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.
Susieq_1994, from this day forward, I shall think of you as a confection-concocting 'MacGyver'...

I am the geek that DVR's Talking Dead after the show and get all this info!! It is called Fear the Walking Dead and it is supposed to start this summer. It is supposed to be on the other side of the country and the time frame will follow from the beginning of the outbreak and follow through up until (and probably past) the time Rick came out of the hospital. All that stuff we didn't see at the beginning of the Walking Dead.0 -

Fer the Walking Dead is also supposed to take place in Los Angeles.0 -

It's taking place in LA. Part of me is excited for this new series because it still involves Kirkman and Gimple so I know the storytelling will be excellent. The other part of me isn't...because I like the unknown aspect of The Walking Dead. The 'what happened?' 'how did everyone get this way but other people didn't' 'is it global or just a North America type issue where the rest of the world has abandoned us?'... it's a little more fun to not know lol.0 -

I've seen it, I just totally forgot Norman Reedus was in it. Not sure how I forgot this, but I did. I will go home TONIGHT and watch the crap out of this movie!

I dunno, every zombie pic/book/story leaves how it started up in the air. I'd really like one to delve into how it started - if man-made, then watching the story of those in the know as they come to grips with what they caused would be fascinating. If it's supernatural, then that opens up a whole new can of worms & would be a very interesting story thread to pursue.
That's just me, I love ZA fiction - but I'd be very interested to see another facet of the genre.

On another note, it was unbelievably awesome to run into my ex's girlfriend yesterday. She is a lot bigger than me. I got a perverse inner chuckle to hear him say to her that he should never have left me for her... when we broke up i was extremely overweight and she was a twig
Catty and bitchy I know but mwahahahaha sucked in
Ah, gotta love Karma, right? That is awesome. Not catty and bitchy - completely normal.0 -

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?
I agree with this as well. Don't beat yourself up. Just make the best decision you can and move forward. Good luck!0 -

After all the vehicle talk, since I've started driving my daily driver has usually been at least 10 years old. Still miss my old 92 Dakota that got totaled. Right now it's an 03 Wrangler with a 5 speed and I commute 45 miles/day, but it's paid for, dirt cheap to insure and repair and a blast to drive with the top/doors off....even in the rain.
Sounds like fun! I'd drive it until it dies.0 -

We don't have cable so we've watched on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I'm not sure if I want to know how it all started. A part of me does, and a part of me doesn't. Wonder if this will be available on Amazon Prime too?

The CDC doc kinda broke it down for us, but we never saw the progression. I think that would be interesting to see how fast it went and how people reacted to it.
