    I went to see the new Avengers movie yesterday. Loved it.

    I confess those kinds of movies always make me wish I was a ninja/spy/superhero.
    Star Trek movies make me want to stride purposefully around a starship in a mini skirt and knee-high boots.

    Any news on your house purchase? Is it happening?

    Yes, it is happening! I get possession on June 17. Unfortunately I will not be able to move in right away, so will most likely be renting it out for about a year first.

    Congratulations! Hope it all goes smoothly and quicker than you anticipate.

    I worry I won't ever lose the excess weight... but I also worry that I will lose the excess weight and then what will I obsess over?!

    Friday me and my boyfriend went to the cheesecake factory. I brought home an entire box of leftovers. I decided not to log the food for that day due to the fact that I would be grossed out by myself. So when I got home in order to avoid having to have an extra cheat day just for the leftovers I ate them in my room. Cold. Cold cheesecake factory leftovers.

    See, and I'm envious of your cold Cheesecake Factory leftovers because there isn't one anywhere remotely close to me... I've only eaten there once in my life, in Seattle. I think my friend was a little appalled that I wanted to go there, but she indulged me because I'd never been to one before.

    The only thing I would eat at The Cheesecake Factory is the cheesecake. I think their food is horribly overpriced and not that good. The cheesecake on the other hand - lemon raspberry with lady fingers crust.... I need a drooling emoji again, Ceci.

    I agree with you. Last time I went there I was NOT impressed. The service was pretty bad too, but I couldn't blame the guy... he seemed hassled and under a lot of stress, so he ended up getting a pretty good tip regardless. The main course wasn't so great, just bland pasta, but the cheesecake was yummy. Next time I go there I'm probably just going to stick with the desserts :tongue:

    By the way, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates gum!!!

    I can't stand it when people chew gum like that! I have to have gum during cardio because my mouth gets dry really easily. There's a disease called 'Chronic Dry Eye' and I think I have 'Chronic Dry Mouth'. Is that even a thing?

    Likewise. Granted I am cycling with wind in my face and mouth but I will damn near cancel a ride if I can't find my ride gum. lol It keeps my mouth moist and not dry like the Sahara Desert!

    yes it's a thing. I have sjogrens' s syndrome. So I have chronic dry eyes and dry mouth. Your tear ducts and salivary glands dry up.

    3200 calories today... 1200 over my TDEE. Hormonal hunger so I just overate on purpose so that horrible feeling would go away... so much for saving calories for Sunday. Going to take me 3 days to make up for it... I hate this. Now I'm feeling a little bit sick, but the sad thing is that it still feels better than that hunger. Just hoping I won't be hungry tomorrow (like that ever happens to me).

    Confession - when I go over like this I make sure to lift weights for 20 minutes so I can pretend I'm 'bulking'. Also wish my legs didn't need a rest or I'd go hit the treadmill for an hour (already had a 30 minutes Combat workout, 20 minutes of weights, and a 2 miles walk).

    I do that too sometimes... so I can go back on track the next day without thinking about it.

    I have 477 posts to catch up on.

    But just to say: I climbed a mountain on Sunday. Felt awesome. Didn't struggle. Photos on my just giving page soon (address on profile)

    Yay! And I bet the coat looked awesome up there, too


    Haha funny thing, I didn't need a waterproof, the weather was dry! So it stayed vacuum packed in my rucksack (until Monday, when we had torrential rain, that's Wales for ya).

    I'm still trying to upload my pics but they are too big for justgiving apparently

    That's it! That's what I'm doing, too. (Better shag my butt to the gym tonight and work on my bulk.)

    Another rather lame confession: I haven't the slightest idea what to do with my hair. I haven't had short hair since I was a baby just starting to grow it. I wish I had the courage to chop it up or do something with it, but I'm just scared of making it look worse. It's extremely wavy (and in my opinion, not the good kind of wavy!!!) and hard to manage, so I just straighten it all the time to make it easier for me to deal with, at least. It also wants to always be parted in the middle. I went to see a hair stylist last year and she told me that my hair was "refusing to be parted down the side." Dumb hair.

    My sister has experimented with all kinds of cuts and colors (well, all shades of red), and I wish I could be more like her. For some reason I'm just too scared.

    Jesus H., the confessions keep coming. Ok, I confess that I ate a Hershey bar for lunch and it was delicious. That's all I got today.

    That was really sad. I think you should try harder. Give it up!
    Agreed. Pathetic confession. There's something dark lurking there...

    There's a lot of stuff that involves some sexual things, but I don't want to bore anyone with that stuff. Snoozeville.

    Oh yeah, like that's not going to get anyone's attention. (insert eye roll)

    BTW, just quoting myself because this sounded mean when I read it again after posting, but I meant it to encourage a good confession from @asflatasapancake! Sorry if it sounded bad.

    My hair is the same... parted in the middle too. Plus it frizzes like crazy when it's humid out. I just do angles on the front. Honestly I gave up on it years ago, lol.

    You should check into autologus serum. The eye doc I worked for would have it compounded for patients with Sjogren's and it worked really well for the dry eye. Something to look into if it really bothers you. If you'd like more info, I'm happy to share.

    Last Saturday I ate a 1 1/2 pound hamburger... :/ I miss read the menu I thought that was an option of 1 pound and the other a 1/2 pound... with wedge fries and a Corona Extra...The point is that I ate just 4 or maybe 5 spoons from the dessert of chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream... I did NOT ate all the dessert

    So I thought maybe we could all use this to get something off of our chests. Confess to anything pertaining to your weight loss journey, it may even be a helpful tip for others! :)'

    Please please PLEASEEEE refrain from being mean. :)

    Here goes it!

    I wear a trash bag under my clothing when I exercise and also for about half of my day.
    Yeah it's not as sophisticated as a Wrap or Those belly wrap things but honestly I like it better. It covers my whole upper body besides my neck, head, and arms. Maybe one of you do the same thing :P

    I was craving something sweet the other night but had absolutely nothing in the house that would satisfy me except some hot chocolate. So I ate two spoonfuls of the powder. Two spoonfuls. Of the powder.

    Did that taste as disgusting as it sounds?

    I'm not having a very good day. Total pity party and tears over my parenting failures. I guess it's a good thing that I decided to go for a walk instead of digging in the ice cream stash.

    Sorry to hear this. Parenting is such a tough job. I hope the walk helped.



    Parenting is so hard, I am taking every effort to never have to do it. :smiley:

    And think about it, parenting with TWO parents is hard... and single parents...woah. AND if everyone is working?! :astonished:

    Everyone else can go ahead and make successful and wonderful humans. I do not feel strong enough to partake in that endeavor. :wink:

    ETA: I am serious about everything in this post. I see parenting as very difficult. It takes skills and abilities that I am pretty sure I do not possess.

    Here's something I've never confessed IRL before...
    I don't enjoy parenting. I don't think I was meant to be a mum.
    Don't get me wrong, I love my boys with all my heart. I give all of myself to them to ensure they feel loved, are happy and healthy.
    But I just don't think I was cut out for it. I've had pretty severe postnatal depression since my first was born 3 years ago and I'm sure that contributes, but I do wonder if its just my personality. Also, I carry a lot of guilt over my depression, its so unfair to them and I worry I'm messing up their whole lives :(
    Aaaaaaaand now I want to cover my feelings in food.

    I could've pretty much wrote this post, word for word. I have a 3.5 yr old and an 8 month old (both boys). Everyone tells me I'm an awesome mom, but I feel like I'm failing at it constantly. It's not effortless for me like everyone else I see on Facebook. I have to WORK at my patience.
    To be fair, I'm pretty sure I have PPD and my 3.5 yr old is a DRAMA QUEEN and can be difficult, but still. I give everything I have in me to them, literally, and I still feel like I'm doing it wrong.
    Part of my inability to keep the weight off is I eat my feelings at night alone when they're in bed, because I sit and relive my parenting failures for the day in my head, over and over.

    And hi, I've lurked but decided to post in the thread today :)
