Well this morning I weighed in and was 1.6 lbs less than yesterday. GREAT! Well then I had to go poop so I did. And then weighed myself again... .4 lbs lighter than pre-poop weight. I laughed hysterically but no I did not record the .4 on my MFP weigh in. Ill try not to weigh tomorrow , but I might...
I tried pre and post poop weighing I never got a difference. Maybe I poop polystyrene...
that frustrates me to no end, i'm like "THAT'S A 2 LB LOG RIGHT THERE"
Yea, I never understand my lacks of poop loss. Maybe we all have those scales that don't move unless you lose >.2lbs???
I've never lost anything after pooping either. *sad face*0 -

I bought some bunny Peeps, so the kids can roast "rabbits" and make smores out of them. This may be the easiest birthday party ever.
Last year we went to a park, and I had Domino's deliver pizza to the park. That was a easy and fun birthday party, too.
I made a camouflage cake (the inside) for my son a couple of years ago. It was pretty easy and a big hit. Saved me a lot of money having it made.
I saw those. They're cool. He decided on smores cupcakes. Do-able.

Confession- Last night we were helping our daughter address her graduation announcements. She was making me so crazy all I could think about was how much quieter the house will be when she leaves for college next fall.
Yes, an empty nest is a lovely thing at times. Sometimes it is too quiet, but then I just remember times like you described and it's all okay. However, it then just becomes a different kind of crazy. I have to remember when I go to my sons house not to be all, "Why is this rose bush dying? When did you cut the lawn last? Ever planning on fixing this closet doorknob?" etc. Then I remember that this is his responsibility now.
My other two kids have kids of their own already and that in itself is it's own form of "punishment". Not that kids are bad, but now they will understand what they put US through!
haha, my mom always has "suggestions" when she comes to visit. I kind of just tune her out 0 -

You still have some left?! I'm impressed! (no chocolate would've made it that long in my house lol)
Well, I've been hiding them in my dresser so I don't have to share. Hey, what's the next "candy holiday"? I don't have to wait until Halloween to get festive shaped chocolates, do I?0 -

I avoid letting people I socialize with know that I'm dieting. I'm visibly significantly overweight and I hate having to deal with comments like: Already lean people saying things like "Oh, you're SO LUCKY because when you have THAT MUCH to lose, it just falls off! I've been trying to lose these last 3 pounds for months, etc etc!" (or alternately, "I should diet too, I just feel SO FAT when I get over 110, it's disgusting..."), condescending "Good for you, honey!" type comments, non scientific advice about 'good carbs'/paleo/vegan/faddietoftheday, general discussion of my eating/body/fatness, and how I have "a pretty face" and am "going to be so cute once I lose the pounds!" Somehow just being fat doesn't bring about this conversation, but anyone getting wind that I'm trying to lose weight does.... I don't get it.
I skip social situations or save up calories so I can eat what other people are eating, just to avoid having these conversations.
Every day on these boards I read about all the insensitive and rude remarks people make to others and now it's making me believe that any health and nutrition education needs to be supplemented with some manners courses and common sense training. Too bad that will never happen.
It's so true. People have no filter. I don't understand how so many people missed the lesson that you don't have to say everything that pops into your head out loud, especially if it's unkind.
So true. And some people don't seem to understand the concept of "it's not what you say, it's how you say it." They may be giving great advice and making excellent points that the OP needs to hear, but by couching it in sarcasm, all that's coming across is rudeness. I'm not advocating sugarcoating anything, but if you can take the time to come up with some snarky reply, then you can take the time to come up with a tactful reply, too.
Absolutely. Delivery is very important. I also can't stand when someone KNOWS that they are being snarky or overly blunt, but they feign ignorance and pretend like they weren't being rude at all. Ridiculous.0 -

Halloween is the next candy holiday. I hate that all the candy holidays are grouped in a row..Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter. I wish there was a summer one.0 -

I have a gigantic unopened bag of Cadbury mini eggs in my closet. I am trying to decide what occasion would be worthy of opening them.

Confession: I'm bitter. I think school should be free or cheap for ALL students.
Ok I'm confused... aren't there public schools in Tennessee?
She's 21. This is a university.
That's nice of you to pay out of pocket-I'm 7 years out and still have 12k to go on my student loans...but I will say it was worth every penny!0 -

A guy in my sister's dorm laundry room told her, "If you were skinny, I would ask you out because you have a gorgeous face. You are really beautiful for a fat girl."
As if she is an anomaly because only thin girls are pretty.
I feel so bad that she gets stared at in the gym because gyms are only for people who are already thin, right?0 -

That is stupid, awful, terrible, ridiculous. What a tool. I am always cheering for the heavier people at the gym. I want to go up and tell them "good job" but I feel like they will think I'm being sarcastic or something.0 -

I'm in Law school now, the idea of paying of my student loans makes me laugh/cry/get depressed.0 -
