We say 'Got the painters in', although I also refer delicately to my 'lady time'.
Shark week seems a little harsh to me.
I pretty much just say I jave my period. I had a friend who called it her little friend which I always thought was weird to me it is an enemy. Time of month makes sense to me too. Shark week is weird.0 -

My mom used to call it the "visitor", which bothered me for some reason. I usually call it Aunt Flo or that time of month.
I weighed myself again today, and the scale says I've lost like 2lbs since yesterday. It said 197.6 yesterday and I just weighed and it said 195.2. May just be water weight, but I'll take it! :laugh:
Is it bad that I weigh myself daily? It's pretty much the only way I stay focused on this. Lol.0 -

I don't know if it's bad, but I weigh myself ALL the time. Pretty much any time I find myself naked in the bathroom. First thing in the morning - weigh, shower after a run - weigh, getting ready for bed - weigh. I actually like to watch the fluctuations - this way I know I'm always at least 2lbs heavier at night than I am in the morning. I also know when I'm retaining water due to sodium from the day before (hopefully that's why I'm up a pound today).

Did she perhaps mean it in the Scarface context?

Thank you! And I'm glad I'm not alone lol! I like seeing the daily changes too, and I'm especially liking this big drop right now lol0 -
I made the first page of this thread with my peanut butter confession. I was ashamed that I couldn't eat it in moderation and that I wasted it. I just bought some today for the first time since I posted, and it's already giving me trouble. This time I will find someone to give it away to.0

Not sure how much of this thread you've read, but yours is one of the most quoted confessions.

Last night I went to some food truck festival. There were people walking around with giant delicious looking turkey legs, but my boyfriend and I got in line for some pulled pork poutine and a couple of beers. I couldn't finish my poutine (gave it to my boyfriend) and felt SO FULL and sick to the point where looking at and smelling the food around me was making me nauseous. It's moments like these when I look at all the foods I have been craving and think ''WHY WOULD I WANT THAT?'' If only I could keep that mindset with me at all times, cause it's a new day and I'm starving again.
... I'm so sad that I wasn't able to try different things though. I was looking forward to it!
Still, I suppose it's better for weight loss

Really? I hope people weren't too harsh. I don't like wasting food, that's why it was such a confession-more than the moderation thing. I had to unstar the thread for awhile because it was clogging up some of my other discussions. Glad I'm not alone though. Don't know what it is about peanut butter.0 -

Nobody was harsh, most of the quotes were people who could relate!

Same here. It's rare if I only weigh once a day...it's usually more like 3-4. And for the same reasons...I just like to see the fluctuations depending on amounts of food or especially when eating takeout(with massive amounts of sodium).0 -

Okay cool. I saw one when I first posted about the fact that I wasted and it made me feel bad.

Not even close. So far, this thread has only hit the "harsh" stage once or twice when quasi-political topics have been raised. If anything, I'd say your pb story has kept dozens of newbies sticking with it when they would've left otherwise.0 -

Yay!
Well today was the first time I bought it since (I was too lazy to walk two blocks to the other store that sells PB2). The first thing I did when I got home was rip it open and spread a tiny layer on a Quest bar, unlogged. Later when I weighed out a portion for my yogurt, I logged a few extra grams to try to make up for it.0 -

Haha yeah it's happened to me too. I wish I was one of those people who get that full at 1200 calories, it would be so much easier.
Confession - went to the farmer's market this morning and couldn't resist those huge French style chocolate almond croissants. It was totally worth the calories (which could be anywhere from 500 to 1000, to be honest, so I logged some random 680 calories one). We had lunch out planned too but I tried to limit the damage, but still couldn't resist having one buttery roll. I doubt I'll manage to stay under today, considering that I have 200ish calories left (and who knows, I had to guess everything, so it could be less). But at least I limited the damage, so there's improvement (it's only 2pm though!).
Then we stopped at Barnes and Noble and my daughter tried to steal something. Seriously, the only reason I noticed is because the door beeped when she walked through it. Ugh. That's a new one for me... that parenting thing is tough.0 -

My mom used to call it the "visitor", which bothered me for some reason. I usually call it Aunt Flo or that time of month.
I weighed myself again today, and the scale says I've lost like 2lbs since yesterday. It said 197.6 yesterday and I just weighed and it said 195.2. May just be water weight, but I'll take it! :laugh:

I do the same thing, but I think most would say it's bad if you make judgements about yourself based in a number. Or become too occupied with it. I want to rely on how my clothes feel to judge but I always default to the scale, imprecise as it is. I like weighing after a long bike ride or run too, it just makes me feel fitter even if it's probably water!0 -
Last night I came home from work and was super sad that my degu was not here to greet me. Usually when I walked in the door he would start squeaking and jumping up along the side of the cage looking for me to take him out and pet him for a bit. Then he would usually snuggle into my arm or on my lap for lovins, just like in my photo I posted of him on my lap.
Then I went to bed, and there is a big huge empty space in my bedroom where his cage used to go.
My confession is that then I got so sad, I had a binge, IN BED.....I ate nearly an entire large bag of chips, two apple turnovers, two chocolate bars, and some candy and nuts.....and guess what, when I was done, I WAS STILL SAD.
Well, time to dust myself off and start again.....
I usually log my food six days a week, as I feel I need a day off or I get sick of it and stop altogether....I did not log the last two days, just because I felt too blah to do anything. I am gonna make sure I log and stay under my calorie goal this week, as next weekend is ribfest so I will want to indulge there in some meat and funnel cake, lol, and take my day off logging then.
I just want to thank everyone again for the kind words, I am 100% confident I did the right thing. I trust my vet 100% and know she would have told me if he had any chance, and the last thing I would want is for him to suffer. I just miss him because he was so interactive with me. He literally spent more time with me in a day than my cat does.....
I have been trying to decide what to do next. I have his cage put away in my daughter's room so I didn't have to look at it for a couple days while she was up at her boyfriends place. She is on her way home now though, and will have to bring it back out. I have been thinking about if I want another caged pet or not. I would love to have more degu, but they are really hard to take care of, I found I was always worried about him. I thought about a bunny or a ferret too, but do not really know yet. I also might not get another animal at all and just get rid of the cage. It is a giant two level cage on wheels, big enough for a large animal, my degu lived like a king, lol.
Anyone here have any experience with bunnies or ferrets? I hear they both can smell bad.......
