My confession: I can't give up my pop. I don't record it either, since it is usually diet. I've tried, and my family begged me to go back on it. I'm a grouch without at least two bottles a day.
There's no reason to give up pop unless a particular ingredient affects you negatively. If you're restricting calories, diet is probably a better option since regular pop tends to add quite a lot of calories with minimal nutritional value.
And the main ingredient is water, after all.0 -

I recently discovered diet Mt. Dew and I'm in love! I've never even tried the regular stuff.
And ouch. That injury looks painful.

Susie: take comfort in the fact you get up to pray, count it as a success and evidence of the larger plan for you.
Italian: glad your little guy is hanging on
Pofoster: congrats
Confessions:
1) yesterday morning I decided to go the gym while everyone was still sleeping. I found all my gym sets in the wash. So I rummaged dirty clothes out the wash basket and wore those rather than not go to the gym
2) we might have been a bit over enthusiastic in the mattress gymnastics and I've got an 'internal' injury that puts me out of commission for a few days. A good time was had by all.
3) today, instead of a proper meal, we went to the ice cream parlour and had sundaes for dinner. After I spent all morning cooking and prepping healthy meals and lunches for next week
4) my boss is in her 50s, very slim, with long legs, and wears very short skirts in the office. I do judge her for their length, but agree pencil skirts are classic, timeless and ageless0 -
It does get really strange when I see high schoolers looking at the same clothes I am. I was over 250 all throughout my high school career and just wanted to bury myself in an oversized hoodie.
I am a smaller size right now than I have been since before I had children (they are now 31.29 and 27 years old) I am discovering all kinds of new options in clothing and wonder at times if what I am putting on is age appropriate. Just today I was showing my daughter - the 27 year old some things I bought to wear on vacation next week and she said "Oh wow mom, we can share clothes now - well - after I have this baby anyway" and we both cracked up.quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »pofoster21 wrote: »salembambi wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »I just walked by the local high school on my lunch break. Confession: so glad I'm years beyond high school. Question: did high school aged girls always look like hookers? The amazingly short shorts with crop tops/sport bras! Holy *kitten*-child, Batman!
are you serious ? calling young girls *kitten* and hookers?sexualizing them ...how nice
they can wear whatever they want just like any other girl or women
geezus
Was it the "absolutely" the "no" or the "judgment" that tripped you up?
Amen. And I agree about clothes, heck some things that 10yo girls wear make me shake my head sometimes.
Me too. And I seriously question their parents judgement.
Sometimes I wonder if their parents know how they're dressing. I've heard of kids wearing one outfit leaving home and changing at school.
I would do that in high school. Change in the back of the bus. But I don't remember it being that extreme. I had a catsuit that I would wear under ripped jeans (oh, the 90's!). My mom hated that catsuit. LOL
As well she should have. Really, a catsuit?! I think we all need to see pictures.
I don't think I have any. It was long-sleeved and flowered and zipped up the back. The cloth would show through the rips in the jeans. I thought I was pretty awesome in that. Wish I had the body I had then.
ETA: I feel like I should add this from Wikipedia: A catsuit is a close-fitting one-piece garment that covers the torso and the legs, and frequently the arms.[1] They are usually made from stretchable material, such as lycra, chiffon, spandex.
How did you use the restroom while wearing this thing?! This is why women go to restroom in pairs.
Well, you didn't wait until the last minute, that's for sure!
I'm all about the jumpsuits right now and to pee, you have to undress to the waist and kind of sling it over one arm...let's just say I won't be wearing them to any festivals this year with any kind of port-o-potties because they are exceedingly difficult to keep off the floor.
Also, on the clothing note, I grew up in that part of the 90s where crop tops AND low-rise jeans were in style at the same time, so I'm just relieved that at least the trend now seems to be high-rise bottoms with the crop tops so you only see the upper half of the stomach. Way cuter.
I remember how bad I wanted a pair of low rise Levi's when their "belly button" commercials came out. Remember those?
Definitely! I also had a pair of super-low-rise jeans that had a LACE UP fly instead of a zipper or buttons...klassy klassy klassy. Looking back I cannot believe my mother let me out of the house in them as I think you could see my hipbones above the waistband. I definitely wore those to school though...
I had a pair of pants like that too. LOVED them. Christina Aguilera wore pants in a couple videos that laced up on the hips, and I wanted a pair so bad!
ETA: Although the fashion may be different, I suppose teenage girls are the same lol.
Right? I see them around and I'm mostly just relieved that there aren't visible g-strings like when I was their age. The leggings and crop tops are not nearly as offensive or revealing, thankfully. And I love that lots of very loose, flowy tops and dresses are trendy now. Way better than those painted-on ultra low-rise jeans and tube tops I loved...not to mention the platforms and huge wedge heels. I had a pair of six-inch wedge sandals that laced up my calves too about fifteen years ago...eesh. Ooh, and the huge chunky highlights on the flatironed hair.
I'm not even 30 yet so it's a little early for pearl-clutching but I seriously think teenagers today don't look nearly as, uh, trashy as my high school classmates did.
Oh ya, I forgot about that... I wasn't one to have my underwear hanging out, but there were lots of girls out like that. I guess I can no longer talk about "kids these days" when it comes to fashion choices

I remember girls used to pull their thong up on purpose so it was showing and the Head Teacher called a girls assembly in school to stop it from happening.
Ps. When I'm on this board I find myself constantly questioning if I should Americanize words cos a lot of you are from there. I've thought this about Mum/Mom, sunbeds/tanning beds, Head teacher/Principal, bum/butt, *kitten*/*kitten* and I'm sure there's more...
Jumper always got me. How does that equal sweater? LOL
I have a friend who got very irritated when I told him that every time he mentioned his "jumper," I was picturing him wearing one of these:
Nice.
I have to admit I had some of those jeans with the fold down button fly. I believe they were even acid wash with ankle zippers. I also, I'm sad to admit, had a pair of low rise skintight jeans that had no pockets but did have a huge attached faux belt. I wore these AFTER I had my daughter and I thought I looked hot. I looked ridiculous.
I'm glad I dress more classic and age appropriate now.
I'm 44 and my daughter is 16. We are just about exactly the same size (she's a bit more slender and a bit taller but same clothing and shoe size. We have different coloring and face shapes but people instantly know she's my daughter.) We very often look at each other in the morning and realize that we're matchy matchy. For example a blue knit v neck top, jeans, boots and hair in a ponytail. It makes me laugh and makes her stomp off to change. She's fairly conservative and classic in her dress and dresses up often. My work is often in a lab so jeans are often fine. I tell her that either I have good taste or she has horrible taste in clothes. She wears a summer dress that I bought 22 years ago and looks lovely in it. She took and kept some jeans, riding boots, pumps, and a few dresses. So my question: What is age appropriate and what is ageless?

I don't know what to say without sounding stupid but I hope you feel better soon!0 -
Confession: a family member is giving me a bike for college (yay!
) but I've only ridden a bike like once, probably 10 years ago, so I'll have to find somewhere out of the way so that no one I care about sees me fall over trying to learn how to ride it. 0 -
Even though I haven't seen her in almost a year, I'm hoping my friend cancels our plans for next Saturday. The UEFA Champions League final is on TV at 2:45 that I don't want to miss (annual soccer tournament involving Europe's top teams). One of my favorite teams is playing. She just moved into her new apartment, so I'm hoping that she'll be too busy unpacking and setting up to hang out.
I'm almost willing to make up an excuse so that I can watch the game live. I'm terrible. lol If worst comes to worst, I'll leave myself unspoiled and watch the game later that night.0 -
I have the ability to binge eat on crap foods almost every day. It's hard to control but at university I went "cold turkey" for 4 weeks with no problem. Then I get to my mum's house for summer and I'm back to stuffing my face like a pig at a trough.0

Bummer, they just closed one of the sugar threads. I guess I need to find something else to do

I drink diet soda too! It has no calories and doesn't really affect anything. Enjoy it!0 -
When I'm losing weight, I'll buy popcorn thinking it's ok to have. Usually, its not. So, I've cut up bags of uncooked popcorn so I wont go digging for it in the trash can and eat it later..... 0

It's 3:30pm and I'm already over my calories for the day.0

Confession.... I usually don't do well on desserts (read: I eat it near continuously until it's gone). But today I made a crustless peanut butter cheesecake using light cream cheese, peanut butter & light cool whip. The entire thing which is pretty small but fairly dense adds up to just under 1,500 calories. I'm pretty sure it will all be gone before my daughter comes home and it looks like I am taking an extra bike ride today. 0

Good grief, check in on Sunday and there's 247 new posts! And I did read them all.
Confession: After my midweek rant/meltdown, I cut out all sweets, complex carbs after 2pm, and ate nothing after 7:30 pm.
Weighed in this morning down 4 lbs (173.)

Okay so this is an embarrassing confession but oh well- there's a thread on the motivation and support page and it's a girl asking for other women in their 20's . Made me feel sad because in less than a year I wouldn't qualify
I don't know why but it really put a damper on my mood and I know it's really stupid but the realization just sucked 0 -

Hey now! I am turning 30 in August and I can not wait to celebrate my continued awesomness. Screw the 20s, way too much stupid. The 30s is where it is at!0
