    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.

    Noticed that you've been MIA lately and remembered you said you'd be busy this week. Hope everything is going well!

    Aww. You're sweet!

    Inspection is going fine (as expected). It's just super boring waiting around until sombody asks to see X, Y, or Z. Plus I have to kind of look busy, but can't actually commit to anything in case they need me. Makes for a very annoying two days.

    Sounds exactly how it is when our auditors are here. Thankfully it is only once a year and they are only here for one day. Always dread that one day, though. Our audits always come back clean, but it's just having them here, over my shoulder, milling around the office, etc. that I dislike. Oh, and I have to be "fake cheery" all day. NOT my strong suit.

    As someone who's been one of those auditors, I feel your pain. We know you don't want us there, but we have to be there, and we both have to pretend to be happy about it. All the while, we have to make sure we get the job done quickly enough to stay in budget, thoroughly enough to make sure we're catching the major things and providing quality service, but not so knit-picky as to tick off the administrators and have them switch firms.

    That's why I prefer tax, but you learn less about bookkeeping and financial statements that way. Thankfully, I was interning at a firm that allowed me to try both.

    So very true! Yes, finding that balance between making sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and not being nit-picky is tough. Thank you for providing insight from the other side.

    @ythannah wow I would've been really annoyed if someone commented on how much food I could eat. Like for all she knows you were just really hungry that day.

    That was my initial reaction as well! I can't believe some of the things people post here that other people say to them.

    Spent two hours last night talking myself into going to the gym... almost gave up on the idea as I sat in the tub (I'm probably one of the only people that likes to take a soak before their workout...

    Anyways, resolved to go, got dressed, grabbed my bag and hopped in the car and headed off...

    Then turned my car into the parking lot of the restaurant directly across the street from my gym and ate a bacon cheeseburger and fries in my gym clothes.

    Like @leah4590, I'd been craving/obsessing over it for a while (best burger in my area, handmade fresh) and it really was totally worth it to "get it out of (into) my system". ;):p I truly do not regret it one bit!

    Bonus confession: I'm going to this same restaurant next week for my birthday... for the exact same meal. :p So, I have to act as though it's been a while when my folks bring me, so they still feel it's "special". ;)

    Edited to add: Just realized this is the second time in two weeks I ate a cheesebruger in my gym clothes... I guess this shall be my thing... (and I guess I'll always dangle 4lbs away from goal weight... I ain't even mad.)

    Good for you @hollandoats. I've been craving pizza for weeks and it was so worth giving in!

    It's my birthday next week, too, and am planning to have a cheat day then make up for it the rest of the week. It helps my birthday's Monday haha as then I've got 6 days to get back on track before my next weigh in!

    The other day at work, there was cake and pie. I had two pieces of each, then went out to dinner, had a burger, fries and a McFlurry. Ugh, I felt horrible, but oh so good. I feel like I'm addicted to sugar again, and need to take control to try and cut back...

    I'm in a bad mood today so I'm purposely arguing with two dudes on the "Is it ok to fast one day?" thread on the Food & Nutrition board. Of course, it's two posters that argue with everyone and insist that they are right no matter what. I just responded to them both again. I'll have to see what nonsense they post next.

    I have a really bad habit of self harming whenever I eat gluten which I'm allergic too. It kind of scares me that I'll hurt myself over eating it. It only happens like once or twice every few months though. It happened yesterday, I wish I could kick the habit.

    I'm violently allergic to chocolate, and I used to cave and eat a brownies/cake/candy/whatever to my heart's content and then just deal with the consequences. Eventually, the reaction just wasn't worth the reward.

    Kind of like when I realized the temporary fun of drinking to excess is soooooo not worth the hangover. I think that qualifies me as old.

    My point: There's hope!

    I've just eaten a medium margarita pizza and a garlic baguette. I've been craving it for WEEKS and in a bid to get past it, I've had it and tomorrow I go back to normal.

    Do I feel better for having eaten it? Nope. But I knew if I didn't satisfy my craving it would just get worse so I did it!!!

    "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it..." - Oscar Wilde :)

    I have that quote (clipped out of a magazine with a huge picture of a piece of chocolate cake beneath the quote) pinned to the back of my door. Words to live by, as far as I'm concerned!

    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.

    Me too!!!!!! In fact it pisses me off. I think it is because I just WISH that the hunt fr the perfect jeans on a perfect body was my biggest issue. Maybe it is jealousy? But either way.... I feel the same!

    I do too! Even my friends that complain about feeling fat. There is a big difference between feeling fat and actually being fat. I know I should sympathize with them, but common!

    Also, it drives me crazy when my already thin friends brag about loosing 5 lbs (or really any amount). I know I should be happy for them and sometimes I am...But I really just get annoyed. Especially since they seem to starve themselves to do it.

    Okay, there is my little rant. I struggle with this...and I am working on accepting and encouraging them :) Even if they do suggest we go out for pizza (my huge food weakness).

    Unfortunately, it stays with you. I read the fitness sub on reddit, and there are constantly posts from people asking for form critiques, bf estimates, or posting about how they did in whatever competition. I see it on all of them now, not just that one picture.

    Still guilty of late night snacking. However, last night unable to sleep I got up twice after midnight and ate. The good news (well maybe not) is that the snacks I had were items planned for later in the morning and day. I simply didn't have them as planned and am still on target for another successful day.

    Thanks. Yeah I've gotten better at not eating the things I'm allergic to and make me sick. I couldn't imagine being allergic to chocolate!

    Reading over my first post, I don't know if what I said makes sense. It's not the eating gluten that's the self harm (although in a way it is too) but after I eat gluten I end up cutting myself or something of that nature :/

    This morning I decided to buckle down and complete my morning deposits without wasting time on MFP in between, just to see how long it would actually take me to do them without interruption.

    I finished over 2 hours earlier. :blush:

    I think I totally read that wrong and suddenly had a picture of toilet door with computer stuff spilling out from underneath as you're normally online reading MFP whilst doing your morning... erhem ...'deposits'. And then wondered just how long they actually took. Made me giggle.

    Does anyone binge on "walking dead" ? I think me and my daughter have a million times lol mostly my daughter , she controls the remote.

    Totally! It's one of my favorite shows. I watch every episode as it airs, and then when they go on hiatus, I binge-watch all the seasons at some point so I can get my fix :)

    I'm doing that right now. When the most recent season ended, my husband and I started watching from the beginning. We're currently on season 4. Love that show so much. I now want a samurai sword so I can be a badass zombie slayer like Michonne. B)

    I have a sword on my Amazon wish list specifically for this purpose :) However, I'm fairly certain that in the event of an actual zombie apocalypse, I will either a) step out of my house strapped to the hilt with weapons and a kicka$$ attitude only to be bitten 10 seconds later; or b) I will be Otis - too slow to run away and left behind as walker bait.

    That made me laugh. Otis was only walker bait because Shane was a piece of human garbage and sacrificed him to save his own sorry butt. I'm glad Rick took him out. Too bad he was a zombie when it happened.



    Very true. Interesting that Rick has kind of been turning into Shane lately, no? I hope that the reappearance of Morgan and his zen attitude will bring Rick back from the edge a little.

    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:

    Glen is the only character left that I really like :/

    I LOVE GLEN!!! But how do you not like Daryl or Carol?! They'd definitely be in my zombie apocalypse traveling gang.

    I cannot STAND Daryl.....Carol I feel indifferent about

    The thread has definitely moved on by now, but I have to say Daryl is amazing, I love Daryl, if he dies, for me, TWD is over! Also love kick-*kitten* Carol!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fair point. It's already been shot down that there is CDC involvement considering the season 1 development. It'd be interesting to see if they take the bioterrorism route or if it's more like Planet of the Apes -- the James Franco one -- where it's just one unlucky person who happens to spread it to 5 friends, then they spread it to their 5 friends, so on and so forth. Or what genetic mutation happens to make it so some people were instantly turned and not others.

    I do wish they'd show how it's handled in colder locations. I'd like to believe the zombies would be slower in like..a Cleveland winter. Or maybe I'm wishful thinking so I could actually run away from them :).

    I'm not a fast runner by any means, at least I don't think I am, I haven't run for quite some time (except in my dreams where I'm not very fast and can't outrun anything or anyone chasing me), but I'm pretty sure I can outrun a foot-shuffling-leg-dragging zombie/walker.

    One thing I would like to have cleared up in TWD, is how is everyone infected?! I don't mean how is it spread, I mean, how is it that even the living/healthy people turn when they die? How did THAT happen? I'm open to theories and suggestions.

    Did I miss something in one of the seasons where they explained this?

    They explained it. Rather Rick was told at the CDC and later told Lori that everyone is infected. And once you die you turn. That's where my curiosity gets the best of me...is there a genetic mutation everyone has as to why certain people still survived while others died? Was there an oopsy somewhere where some people got infected through bites and in an effort to eradicate a spread there were mass airborne agents spread through the air to kill people because they didn't know that whatever caused people to turn was already in their system? Hmm... Unfortunately, there really isn't a way of backtracking and knowing...even though it is kind of unusual that Rick not knowing makes sense but everyone else not knowing/talking about it doesn't make sense. Unless they just adopted the thought that why talk about something you have no cure for?


    And @shibaears that's what I figured would happen. I'd go on a machete head lopping spree in the winter time then. Less mess and easier to fight. Lazy apocalypse survivor right here.

    You'd have to find them though :wink: Some would be buried under a good amount of snow, depending where you were.

    And your staunch defense, in employing all manner of tactics, measures, and verbal I'll-have-you-know-itedness (<-- the particle-ending 'trainwreck' at the end of that hyphenated ball-o'-what?! might look jacked, but it means well ;) ), would undoubtedly make the good Doctor proud... you 'Tardissian', you... :)

    My confession is that I compare myself to every woman I see. When I am out and about I am always eyeing up the other women I see and thinking "I am thinner" or "she is thinner than I am". It drives me crazy because it takes away from regular interactions, it is kind of petty and stupid and extremely vain but I do it all the time.

    I do the exact same thing. I hate to promote the stereotype of women being insecure about their looks, and it's something I can't really explain to my SO without sounding vain, but it's definitely true in my case.

    It's part of why I have a slight phobia of malls, actually. Crowded, open spaces bother me anyways, and if it's a ritzy mall where every girl is dressed up with perfect hair and has a perfect body, I want to crawl in a hole and disappear. Meanwhile, I have no problems shopping at lower-class stores where half of the shoppers are significantly overweight and the other half are wearing pajamas.

    I have a phobia of fancy hair salons/spas. I feel so frumpy - I can't do makeup well (and I'm lazy) and I can't do anything with my hair so I don't feel like I'm welcome or belong in those types of places.

    I confess that I'm a little bummed out that everyone has been talking about TV shows for the last... Ten pages or so? I don't watch tv shows (or movies... Or actually anything, really) at all, so I have no idea what anyone is talking about.

    You're not alone. Of my own volition I watch very little TV (one program), although I do see a few of the shows that my SO watches, pretty much all on Discovery Velocity. And I'd never choose to watch a movie on my own, only with him and usually his choice. My preferred entertainment is reading.

    I get jealous when people post pictures of their meals because there's just not way I would be satisfied with such a little amount of food, and it makes me wonder if I'm not normal or something.

    I feel exactly the same way. I was also in a FB group for a while where people posted their daily menus and always thought I would starve to death on the things they were eating. And, when people post pictures of their plates, I always wonder how many servings of that I would need to eat (usually 3 or 4).

    Me three. My idea of a decent portion is 2 or 3 "normal" servings. I think a box of Kraft Dinner is supposed to feed 4, and I can eat the whole thing no problem.

    We were having a buffet meal at my SO's sister's home and she actually commented, in quite a horrified tone, at how much food I could "put away". The funny part is that I was trying to tone it down a bit because I barely knew her at the time and didn't want to seem like a big pig.

    I have had people say that to me. My mom always worked physically demanding jobs, and talked about how cool it was that she could "eat like a lumberjack". Of course, she was burning most of it off with her job, but she didn't really explain that part to us kids, so we just copied the eating like lumberjacks part. How great habits are born. I can still eat like that if I let myself.

    I had to laugh at this girl in high school though who was the complete opposite. She was afraid to eat in front of my best friend's brother at all. She hid in the kitchen with the tiniest bowl of pasta in the world. Like he didn't know that sometimes she had to eat!

    Although it doesn't exactly involve "watching the story of those in the know as they come to grips with what they caused" (which, I agree, would make for a fascinating aspect of exploratory storytelling), the movie "I Am Legend", which is based on a book from long ago, and which previously was 'refashioned' into the movie "The Omega Man", does involve a man-made cause that is disclosed... and to boot, includes a 'last man on Earth' -type element, as well...


    From the wiki page for "I Am Legend" --
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    In 2009, a genetically re-engineered measles virus, originally created as a cure for cancer, mutates into a lethal strain which kills 90 percent of those it infects, and turns the remaining 10% into predatory, nocturnal "Darkseekers" who are vulnerable to sunlight. Three years after the outbreak, US Army virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith) lives an isolated life in New York City, which is now deserted, unsure if there are any other uninfected humans left in the world.

    I couldn't help 'wondering' (and futilely trying to 'imagine'(/fathom)), while watching "I Am Legend", just what it would be like to 'live' the different scenes the viewer 'sees' the lead character experience, 'face', survive, and 'navigate', day after day... with the world of his immediate environment having been turned into a 'ghost town' (albeit a dangerous one, at that, what with the 'mutants' coming out at night, and looking for human 'prey'), and his being a scientist involving the perpetual seeking of a 'cure' (all while enduring the stress of trying to survive each day (well, night ;) ), and keep his wits about him, and his spirit 'up', in the wake of not having another human being to interact with)...

    Especially after Charlie dies. :'(

    This morning I decided to buckle down and complete my morning deposits without wasting time on MFP in between, just to see how long it would actually take me to do them without interruption.

    I finished over 2 hours earlier. :blush:

    I think I totally read that wrong and suddenly had a picture of toilet door with computer stuff spilling out from underneath as you're normally online reading MFP whilst doing your morning... erhem ...'deposits'. And then wondered just how long they actually took. Made me giggle.

    Haha, nope, not those kind of "deposits" :wink: I meant actual work/bank deposits.

    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.

    Are you turning into a little guy poking out of the top of a muscle suit?

    Lol, this made me laugh :smiley:

    I don't remember when I first saw that meme, but I can't unsee it. Any time I see any picture of someone in a bodybuilding pose like that, all I see is the little guy sticking out the top.

    Please share this meme. I haven't ever seen it but would like to.

    That was wonderful! It REALLY DOES look like that! I think traps can definitely get too big and then get weird looking. But that's just my opinion.

    ethim, I misinterpreted that (or did I...? ;) ) in the very same way... and am still 'on the fence' as to whether an alternative meaning, involving deposits of 'something else' (*anything* else), is truly what was intended... and thus... as a result... I remain perplexed as to whether I am to offer supportive congratulations... or empathetic condolences (2 hours!)...

    Anxiously awaiting clarification,
    Yours truly,
    Me ;)

    Still haven't heard if I got the job or not, I'm still listed as "considering" on their employment page. THE WAIT IS SOOOO LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.
