Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I don't understand Pinterest either. I signed up, pinned some stuff, didn't really know what else to do with that site. I haven't logged back in, in at least a year give or take (?)
Nor me. I signed up after people were obsessed with it and have never really used it because I just didn't get it.0 -
Confession.. I binged so badly on the weekend. Ate all nasty things... Chips, chocolate, dougnuts, pizza.. Up until then I'd been doing really well and losing weight at a slow but steady pace. I feel a bit peeved with myself for munching through an extra 3000 calories. Hoping i can be real good this week!0

Just a sip. Can I have a bite? Let me taste it. It is on my finger, I have to lick it off. Someone should finish it. A little one won't hurt.
It turns out, these tiny bits can really pile up. Yesterday, I finally stopped to add them together and, as near as I can figure, it was 200 calories worth of nothings.
Jeeze...0 -
I have never spit anything out, but I have not finished something when it wasn't worth the cals. This is how I judge whether a cheat is worthwhile. Based on the joy it will bring me, I may or may not consider it.sushigirl1951 wrote: »A diet confession...I often will take a bite of something and if it not delicious and truly worth the calories, I will spit it in the trash or a napkin (especially, any candy or dessert!).

Confession: I have a sinus headache, which usually kills my desire to eat, and I'm not-so-secretly glad about it.0

I'm one of the unlucky people who never loses her appetite when she's sick, unless it's a stomach bug (and even then...).0 -

I totally know how you feel. I hate getting handed lab coats on site visits and knowing there's no way it'll do up and having to get get one that drowns me most places to do up over my hips. My favourite situation is when they apologise that they only have xxl or something and they're too big for everyone.
You can definitely climb that mountain though. Go out and get a coat you feel comfortable in and you can do it!
Yeah my hips are frigging massive
Although 3 inches down on size from last month). The problem is, the high street outdoor shops don't cater to coats in my size (that have to accomodate my gargantuan hips, a wicking top, a mid-layer fleece and a top fleece). Anyway, out of hurt and anger this morning, I've ordered a £200 coat from Berghaus to try, in cherry pink!orangesmartie wrote: »I'm having a bad day.

Oh my gosh you so have to climb it! I would love to climb it, but my SO isn't into that kind of thing so you have to climb it for me! And what are you on about "woman my size", you can be the first woman your size to climb it then
Don't let a coat put you off the idea, once you do the challenge you will realise a coat is a coat and it is totally worth getting it in a slightly bigger size. About 8 years ago (and 3 stone lighter) I travelled around Borneo for a month and I climbed Mt. Kinabalu which is 4,095.2m or 13,435.7ft above sea level and I was 13st which is... about 170lbs. It was a struggle but it was damn worth it once you get to the top!
I am really excited about the climb (it was people here that persuaded me i could do it) and I'm so looking forward to it. My boyfriend has now decided he is going to do it with me (its an overnight climb, in the dark, on behalf of the alzheimer's society). I don't have a problem with having to get a bigger sized coat, i have a problem finding a bigger sized coat, and i have a bigger problem trying on a succession of coats that don't fit and having to say to my partners, nope, too small and generally feeling like crap about myself (my problem, not theirs). Outdoor shops do not cater to 15 stone women who want to climb mountains.
I will climb it for you Lois
I'll be posting pics and videos on my justgiving page (which you can get through my profile) so you can experience it yourself
I wouldn't have said either of my partners would do this either, although my boyfriend used to be in the army, those days are long gone. But after i signed up to climb Ben Nevis, my boyfriend decided he would too, which I think is great for him, because its encouraged him to go to the gym and get fitter. My girlfriend won't do it, says she couldn't, but is coming climbing in Brecon at the weekend, so we've found an activity that we all like to do together, that isn't sitting in front of a screen.
Yea I completely get that. I despise clothes shopping and I despise changing rooms even more. If I have a good day I'll pick up all the clothes I'm brave enough to try on and then face the corner of the cubical changing until I'm dressed. I cannot bear to look at myself when I get dressed. Even at home I face away from the mirror until I'm done. So many times I've gone clothes shopping and ended in a puddle of tears because nothing fits.
I'm sure your girlfriend will change her mind after the climb this weekend. It would be good if you did it as a threesome, and it's great you have found something to do. Is it climbing as in wall climbing or climbing as in hiking? If its wall climbing you will have amazing arms!
Thank you for climbing it for me! I might have to Photoshop myself into a picture of the top! lol0 -
I have logged on MFP for 1104 days.... but I hardly ever log all my day. It has made me eat correctly and I still stay in/under my cals mostly, but I just hate logging now. Also, I don't log my beers 0

So basically, I found out at my current job that they're making the most lazy do nothing manager on our property a Director, which means he'll get paid more to do even less.
I'll also be giving my notice to my current employer today. Things should get real interesting.0 -
I'm approaching my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventieth post. And as everyone who has been in this thread knows, I like celebrating milestones. so for my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventhieth post, I'll be celebrating "First Times." So send me message, asking what the first time I did something you want to know I did, and I'll make it part of my One Thousand One Hundred and Eleventieth post.0

All those facebook or twitters messages to the 'best mom ever' etc just reminded me that I would just never say that about mine... and I get a bit jealous. I'm also not sure my kids will ever say that about me as lately there's been more 'I hate you's' than anything else.
They're 7! They don't really say the hate you do they?
All the time! They started at 4...
No worries. My kids used to say it when they were little too. They grew out of it when they got older. I didn't really hear that from them as teenagers. My response was always. "You don't have to like me, but you have to do as I say"
Flash Back! My mum said that to us! Now I love my mum more than anything. I think after about a month after moving out, my dad rang asking me to come home for the weekend because mum was crying because she has lost her best friend. (I'm the only daughter) I'm tearing up right now just remembering that.
Awww... I cried when my daughter moved out, but had no husband to let her know to come visit. LOL
She's coming to stay with us for a couple of weeks in August.
Planning a staycation.0 -

I like the idea of Pinterest. I have pinned some recipes that I use from time to time. But, when I'm on Facebook on my phone and somebody posts a recipe, I want to "pin" it so I can try it later, but that function doesn't work at all. Useless. And, I don't really like the way it's organized either. I don't understand how people say they can waste "hours" on it.0 -
I tracked everything yesterday, including weighing out my ice cream, and stayed under calories. I confess I'm pretty pleased with myself for stop the free-fall and getting back on track.0

That was my thought, too. I don't rant about him at work or to my family. I love and respect him and don't want people who know him to think less of him. But I still feel guilty. 0 -

I only log foods on MFP when I know I will be close to going over my calorie goal. If they fixed their broken barcode scanner I might be inclined to log more.0

Confession: I planned to go to the mothers day buffet and not track anything on sunday. Guilt got the best of my monday. It was so good I don't regret it. >_<0

I'm another one who doesn't get pinterest. I looked at it once and never again. Its not logical (Captain). I also don't understand instagram.

This is the only "social media" site I use. I put it in quotes as technically I use it to count calories and track things but I do visit the forums a lot and try to interact socially! I don't have twitter, facebook, instagram, or anything and I love it. I can't handle all that crap especially with people treating them more like diaries than anything anymore.0 -

I am VERY excited to hear about the reaction, FYI. I wish I had popcorn.0 -

I think he owes me another Mother's Day.
Tell him you want a "Mother's Day Do Over"!
Or paybacks on Father's Day...
