Longish and TMI confession:
I mentioned before that I have a phobia of walking outside because I nearly stepped in a very dead raccoon. I've been trying to work on that, so today I took my son to a park that has a playground and a very out in the open 1/2 mile jogging path circling it. It also has lots of trash cans and plenty of free plastic bags for dog walkers.
It's hot and humid today, and those trash cans are starting to smell like that raccoon. About half way through my first lap, I started breathing through my mouth to lessen the impact when I'd approach one. An unidentified bug flew in my mouth, I couldn't cough it out, had left my water in the car, and didn't want to embarrass my son by everyone watching his mom puke in the middle of the park from walking a quarter mile. So I swallowed it. I didn't quit, either, I did the rest of my laps before coming home. And then I kept thinking about it, and started feeling a weird tickle in the back of throat, and then I convinced myself it was probably a stray bug leg, and then I started thinking that it was probably a fly, since a bee would've hurt, and flies have been crawling all over the dog poop in the garbage, and yeah, there came back breakfast and the bug. I guess the upside is I don't have to log the bug now?
Not any closer to wanting to walk outside after this.
Okay, I'm very sorry, but I laughed when I read this! But really, I AM sorry you went through that. Oh gag. I would have had the same end result. Or very possibly I would have embarrassed my son right there at the park!
In retrospect, I almost wish I had now. I told him about it on the way home, and he saw me run to the bathroom after we got here. When I came out, his first question was, "are you ok?" (I'll give him points for that, at least). His second, "could you tell what kind of bug it was?" Thanks, kid.

if you're looking for a good sugar-battle thread the "Four bags of Oreos" thread fits the bill!
The oreo thread fighting is making my day.
I confess, all the Oreo thread makes me want to do is eat Oreos.
I started reading this one...will finish later but I have to admit I would KILL my husband (if I had one) if he came home with that stuff. I can't have stuff like that in my house at all or I will eat it all. And yes, I have no will power. But I can't say that in there...I would be eviscerated. I was happy to see the guy I can't stand from all the nasty threads is in jail.

Kids are so funny. I have to say, you have a much stronger stomach than me. I would have puked on the spot.0 -

I had 2 cups of coffee this am, 2 cups this afternoon and now I'm downing a large w/ an extra shot latte. I will probably have trouble sleeping tonight. At least it's kinda killing my appetite.0

If you're mad at him, you can pretend it means Dumb Husband. Just a tip. Not a slam at men, people with wives could do the same with DW. Equality, yay!

The hubby has had weight-loss surgery. He obviously had disordered eating issues. That is not going to be fixed by one night of talking. There's a lot more going on in that relationship then we know, I think.0 -

Oh, I know. Just feel like it is overused. Ya know when wives are like, "I caught my DH cheating on me with his friend's wife"...NOT DH at that point!!0 -

I think people just look for an easy answer. I tried a "fruit and veggie detox" as part of a Low GI diet program once. You could eat all the non starchy veggies you wanted and 3 servings of fruit a day for a week. I was miserable. I think I lost 8 pounds that week and a total of 30ish on the program but gained it all back when I went back to eating normally.
ETA That week was not easy!0 -

I went out for a few drinks last night, came home and was famished. Ended up eating a HUGE (150g) bag of crisps, which was 775 calories!!! Felt ridiculously guilty this morning!0

Well. I bought 7 pints of Talenti gelato and um, probably $100 worth of Lindt chocolates when they were on sale. I guess it's not normal either...0 -

Some people are weirdly obsessed with cleanses and what not. Hey, whatever works for you, but don't try to convince everyone else that you are right and they are wrong! That seems to be the common theme.0
