So many in fact: I'll sneak preview my first name: Derek.
I somehow already knew this. Why is that?
He said something about Zoolander and "derelicking my balls" so that's why I remember haha
That must be it. I didn't remember the exact quote but I knew it was something.

If eating less is good, then eating a lot less is better, right? I hear we under estimate calories in and over estimate calories out, so I set my goal low and don't trust the calories burned. I am afraid to eat them back. I don't feel tired or weak, in fact I feel better than I have in a long time. Most of the time, I try to eat better because I am eating less. This week was a bit of a bust because my 7 year old gave me a pound of strawberries for Mother's Day and they had to be turned into Strawberry Shortcake. The little darling knows I am trying to watch what I eat and decided a big box of chocolates would make me sad, so he made a HUGE basket of all my favorite fruits. (I'll never be able to eat it all, unless I start a Bing Cherry Binge.)
I tell myself that I will eat more when I feel worse.
Confession 2 - Sometimes I open the freezer door just to stare at the Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Sometimes when I don't have any calories left I'll smell food haha.
Still not as bad as the guy I knew that would sprinkle salt packets into his mouth. >_<
Yeah that's a bit gross.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »berlynnwall wrote: »Confession: I cannot stand slower than time pedestrians crossing the street.

LOLOL. Perfect.
I also can't stand the people who walk slow in a grocery store with the exception of the elderly or people who have a medical condition. Also it grinds my gears when people take up the whole aisle with their shopping cart or decide to have a family/friend reunion in the most annoying places.0 -
My daughter is getting her braces off today. She's super excited about that...I'm just happy I only have to work a half day!
Which just so happens to end in 30 minutes. Whoo Hoo!!! 0 -
Speaking of grocery stores, I don't understand how people that don't need those electric scooters can just drive them. I used one when I still had to be in a wheelchair just to see what it was like and I was nervous the entire time! It's not fun to drive, lol.0

I had my first "way out of my calorie goal binge" last night. Other than the slight hangover, I have no regrets about it. I feel like I should feel guilty, but I feel like I really needed that.0

Oh, kiddo's birthday party is next Saturday, (all the foods will be eaten that day) and we're heading to the beach that Sunday for her birthday trip. I'm not sure if I'm ready to venture out swimsuit shopping, even though I need a new one....
I am going to the Bahamas in less than 3 weeks and must find a swimsuit (I went from a size 22W last summer to now a 12/14) so last years suit is not an option. I have tried on dozens of them and have found none I am really happy with.0 -

Aw that's awesome, I was so pumped when I had my braces off- it was the summer before my freshman year so I couldn't wait! We did the whole before and after picture thing too! Ahhh brings back great memories of being 14! And lucky you get to have a half day! I'm stuck here another 2 hours and 20 mins

That's my problem too. I've been drawn to the "monokini" (I think that's what its called lol) but I don't know if i could pull it off.raelynnsmama52512 wrote: »Just to throw this out there, I've actually dropped 2 pant sizes!

This will be the summer before her 8th grade year. I plan on doing a little mini photo shoot kind of thing with her. She loves taking selfies anyway so I'm sure she won't mind. I'm excited to see what all my hard earned money paid for. She's already planning on having fruit snacks and gummy bears. Probably before we even get home.
Oh, and I'm SUPER excited about my half day even though I've had to take short lunches all week to make up for it. It's TOTALLY worth it!

Yes, congratulations! Find something, even if it isn't a bathing suit, that you feel comfortable and good in - that way you can enjoy the beach!0 -

Is that the one with the sides cut out? I like those too, but I can't ever seem to find them. I bought a swimsuit last weekend and I ended getting a bikini top and high waisted bottoms. Very retro looking. I'm still not 100% comfortable with how I look in a swimsuit, but I'm working on it.

Thanks, I could not pull off that monokini look, too much skin and stuff going on with this rapid weight loss. I like that look on others though. I like the old fashioned super high waisted two piece look too.0 -

Woo Hoo!!!
I really want to lose this weight by January so one of my coworkers will stop talking about it. The words "you'd be a pretty girl if you'd lose some of that weight" were spoken and they've stuck with me ever since.....
I don't understand. How can a person say something like that? I just don't get it. Do people have no filter at all?0 -
I think so, looks like a one piece from the front an bikini in back?raelynnsmama52512 wrote: »

I found some at Walmart relatively inexpensive, but I haven't looked other places yet lol.

HUGE pet peeve of mine, probably because my husband is a major culprit of this. He views grocery shopping as an enjoyable, social event. Um, no. He's gotten angry at me before for not stopping and having in-depth conversations with people we know. Hugs and acknowledgements and "how's your life?" questions all around. I believe it is rude and insensitive to the other shoppers. Needless to say, we no longer shop together.
Oh, he's also one of those people that stops the cart directly in the doorway as you are walking in to use the wipes to clean the handle. Yes, I'm glad he cleans the handle, but PLEASE walk inside and don't hold up everyone behind you!0 -

I was going up for an early promotion 6 months after I had my first son. My boss had to write a package of all the good things I've done and it would be compared to a few others and one would get the early promotion. I had to make sure I didn't get into trouble and I made a good score on my PT test as well.
I ended up not getting it and my boss told me, "It's good you didn't get it, because if people saw you up there receiving it, they might think you couldn't pass a PT test." Just by looking at me.0 -

I bought two (fun) retro bikini's on Ebay last year. They both feature high waists and one has a skirt. They are fun. I have probably seven or eight bikini's (my daughter stole two) and these are sassy and more modest than most. Plus they have amazing support up top. If you message me I'll look up the link and pass it on. They were pretty inexpensive ($30/top and bottom combined) and well made.
edit - these are new, custom made.

Hugs ❤️I am battling a very deep depression at the moment and sneak off to restroom to cry, reapply makeup and put on a happy face and go back to work. No-one at work knows just how low I am because I act so happy. I feel so weak because I can't pull myself out of this. =(
Are you getting any kind of help? It's perfectly ok to ask, I promise!
Yes, please go talk to your doctor and don't "minimize" your days, your coping methods, or how you feel. Please take care of you.
