Okay, I often do extra cardio for the specific goal of eating junk later in the day. Like, I'll run for 3 hours if I feel like eating a whole pizza. I've still managed to lose 20lbs in 3 weeks, though, so I guess it's working out.0

@pofoster21 - my last post before bed and I'm still many pages behind.
There is no set number of chapters required. Ch 1, 2, and 8 (Intro, Experimental, Conclusions) are required but the chapters in the middle can vary greatly depending upon what a person is working on experimentally.
Chapters
1 Introduction - what the problem is, what the background is on the problem.
2 Experimental - all the methodology, types of instruments, settings, computations, theory, background, how I set up the glassware for synthesis, etc.
3 Synthesis and Characterization of compounds 1 - 5
4 Isolation, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluxuation of a compound and isomers - how I spent 9 months of my life getting 0.0025 grams of pure product to run a very cool experiment on.
5 Electrochemistry
6 Computational Chemistry and mechanisms of the catalytic cycle
7 Another compound synthesis, characterization, computational chemistry and electrochemical (this was a simpler system to explain)
8 Conclusions and future directions0 -

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling. My depression has recently taken a dive and become worse than it has been in years, so I know how bad you must be feeling. I'm struggling so hard against falling into the pit (so to speak), but I really don't know what to do.
Your feelings describe mine as well, unfortunately--I've been feeling like a complete and utter waste of space lately who doesn't deserve to live. :-/ I hope you start feeling better soon! 0 -

But to our Susie - I was thinking whilst reading through the confession, maybe you could try the confession of many others and when you are likely to go over by a few log it the the next day to save throwing away all your hard work that day for the sake of 100 calories.
Funny but true: I was one of the first to confess that I did that in this thread, waaaay back in the first 20 pages or so. I confessed to spreading out bad overages over an entire week, in fact.
But I do tend to have a bad all-or-nothing attitude, as I mentioned, so it's somehow like... I'm either under my goal or I blow it out of the water. Actually letting myself get to just 100kcal over usually means I've already hit the "nothing" stage and nothing can save me. :-/

They're all asleep! A lolly or an iced-lolly is a popsicle. Not sure about the pot question... Definitely yoghurt (English spelling!) is sold in 'pots'. Aren't they everywhere? The term 'porridge pot' is one I've only ever heard in the story about the magic one which kept on producing porridge! Might be an old term. Porridge is the same as oatmeal.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »unrelentingminx wrote: »I have to do my weekly food shop today and although my other half is not a fan of cakes or biscuits, he is a total ice cream fiend so I pick him up some every week (he is not dieting with me).

Is a lolly a popsicle or a lollipop? Also for those in England what do you guys refer to as a pot? Is it a pot of yogurt, oats, or porridge?
Same container, but they're called cups, same with pudding and fruit.
I'm working through this post since Friday so this is a bit behind but what exactly is 'pudding'? Because in England Pudding is the same a 'dessert' as in the last course of a three course meal. It always looks like a pot of custard in the films/movies.0 -

Pudding = Custard in American speak. It can refer to both the cooked version made with milk and starch, or it can refer to an instant version that's made with gelatin. 0 -

On top of that, she just found out she is pregnant, and nobody except her and the boyfriend are happy about it. My daughter and I are both mortified....
She is 22, lives in a motel room, on assistance, and has a trustee to handle her money as she cannot even do that herself.....her boyfriend works full time at a fast food joint, and the second they get any money they are out blowing it. They do not have a pot to piss in, and now are gonna have a baby....
She is mentally slow, her mentality is that of about a 13 year old.....God help that baby, and everyone else that is gonna be affected by it.....
I'm really sorry you have to deal with this. It's almost exactly the same with my sister. I am dreading her new baby being born in October. I fully expect to be caring for it by Christmas
Another? What made her think that was a good idea? I am slightly judging this because it's not fair on you or your parents! I know it should be a happy occasion, but I can see this being more stress on you and your family

I tried them both on and surprisingly, I didn't feel like a flat chested sea cow. No offense to sea cows.
I asked him which he liked better. He said both. I asked him again which one he thought I should keep. He said both because they both looked good. His exact words were something along the lines of you look hot in both and you should keep both.
The third one didn't work because the top and bottoms didn't match (that's what happens when you buy from Amazon). The top was black and white with red trim, but the bottoms were pink with black and white trim. I was disappointed because I loved the bottoms. Oh well.
I went from having zero swimsuits or covers, to having 2 bikinis, an adorable monokini, and 2 swimsuit covers. Pretty exciting.
Yay!!
Lots of variety for your trip.
It will be so nice. I don't think I've ever had multiple swimsuits before. I'm mildly excited about wearing them too. Not super excited about having to shave my bikini area however.
That's why I only wear swimming suits with skirts, lol. I'm 37 and I've never even trimmed anything down there, because loose hair freaks me out and I don't want to have to clean up the mess (ok and I'd have no idea how to do it anyway). Forget shaving or waxing, I always get horrible ingrown hair and I'll be damned if I even try it down there.
Speaking of swimsuits, I'm now very peeved because my period is a week late, which means I will probably get it right in the middle of our vacation next month. Our first real vacation in years... to the beach... and I don't do tampons.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. It makes a hell of a difference. You can get razors with electric trimmers on the end, use those to trim, if you just want to tidy. If you want to shave, go with the grain of the hair. Always use sharp/new razors, never use a razor which you've used to shave your armpits/legs.
My confession for today is that I am learning a lot on how to be a girl on this thread. I was a bit of a tomboy growing up and my mum was too busy to do the girly talks because as previously said, she is a director of a company so I was never taught how to be a girl. I generally wing everything. As a teenager I took every TOM as is came and didn't wear make-up until I was 17 because I didn't know how and didn't want to look orange. I still don't wear foundation or powders for this reason. Shaving is a mystery to me. I do my legs fine, but I get ingrowing hairs in my arm pits and bikini line all the time. I spend a lot of bathroom time picking them.
I'm actually REALLY ashamed of this because my SO's sister is perfect. She styles her hair every day, immaculate nails and make-up, she self-tans and you can't tell and she can't wear anything and pull it off. She puts me to shame.0 -

Susie, first, let me apologize if you feel I am being overly personal and intrusive.
Have you considered that Depo may be contributing to your depression? When I first took it, my doctor asked if I had a history of depression, I said no because I didn't have a history of depression. Two months later I was sitting in my car contemplating suicide. The only think that stopped me was, that as an over-thinker, I couldn't figure out why I felt like that. Nothing in my life had changed for the worse; my feeling weren't based on my reality. I was simply, suddenly, suicidal.
It may also cause spammy pimples.

I had a bit of a melt down on Friday and Saturday but I blamed TOM. My SO took the full force of it I'm ashamed to say. He understands and knows what to do. Like I know how to deal with him, but I shouldn't really take it out on him.
I hope it goes/ went well.0 -

And weight gain....for like NO reason.
That's actually on the list of reasons why my doctor would not put me on the Depo was the pimples and the weight gain. She said she was proud of me for losing some weight and said my skin was FINALLY doing really well.

Ah, I thought it looked like custard! I could probably eat a lot of custard if I tried, I wouldn't dare trying.

There are lots of astringents out there to help prevent theses and as @orangesmartie said exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! I don't shave that area it's too much of a hassle- I get a brazillian and be done with it
Also for hair and makeup there are so many youtube videos out there if you ever need help!0 -

lol at the spammy pimples! I don't think you're being intrusive or overly personal at all--if I wasn't familiar with the side effects of Depo, it would have been an important thing to consider and I would have been very grateful for someone to have brought it up.
I have considered it before, but the fact of the matter is that I've been a depressive for years--in fact, my depression was reduced during my use of the Depo shot. I've been using it for a year and a half, and my depression has been relatively mild during this time, although I doubt the depo shot contributed to the reduction in my symptoms. I do know that it has a common side effect of depression and mood swings, but it hasn't really affected me much in that area, luckily.
And I've always had spammy pimples during my period time, the depo actually reduced the occurrence of my break-outs to once every two months or so rather than every month like clockwork.
I sure do wish the solution to my depression could be that simple, though! My maternal side of the family actually has a long history of clinical depression and mental illness, and I'm just a casualty of genetics, I suppose. This recent increase in my depressive symptoms might just be environment-related, since I'm going through some stressful family issues right now and my husband became pretty sick a while back (that was majorly scary for me), along with the fact that I've gained a lot of weight during the last few months. :-/
Also, I've messed up my circadian rhythm and I've been staying awake all night and sleeping during the day, which always affects my depression really badly (I need sunlight!). I'm hoping that just getting everything back to normal will help me feel better. 0 -

Now it's 2015, they've got a new album out (solid B+ as far as reunions go) and they're playing at M************ RED ROCKS. 5 minutes from my house. If you couldn't tell, I am FAR BEYOND STOKED.
Nice! I had the sadz yesterday, because Rob Zombie was playing 30 minutes from my house and 1) I had no one to go with, hubs doesn't do that kind of music, and 2) couldn't afford to buy tickets. It was Rob *kitten* Zombie, dammit!

Two months later I was sitting in my car contemplating suicide. The only think that stopped me was, that as an over-thinker, I couldn't figure out why I felt like that. Nothing in my life had changed for the worse; my feeling weren't based on my reality. I was simply, suddenly, suicidal.
It may also cause spammy pimples.
lol at the spammy pimples! I don't think you're being intrusive or overly personal at all--if I wasn't familiar with the side effects of Depo, it would have been an important thing to consider and I would have been very grateful for someone to have brought it up.
I have considered it before, but the fact of the matter is that I've been a depressive for years--in fact, my depression was reduced during my use of the Depo shot. I've been using it for a year and a half, and my depression has been relatively mild during this time, although I doubt the depo shot contributed to the reduction in my symptoms. I do know that it has a common side effect of depression and mood swings, but it hasn't really affected me much in that area, luckily.
And I've always had spammy pimples during my period time, the depo actually reduced the occurrence of my break-outs to once every two months or so rather than every month like clockwork.
I sure do wish the solution to my depression could be that simple, though! My maternal side of the family actually has a long history of clinical depression and mental illness, and I'm just a casualty of genetics, I suppose. This recent increase in my depressive symptoms might just be environment-related, since I'm going through some stressful family issues right now and my husband became pretty sick a while back (that was majorly scary for me), along with the fact that I've gained a lot of weight during the last few months. :-/
Also, I've messed up my circadian rhythm and I've been staying awake all night and sleeping during the day, which always affects my depression really badly (I need sunlight!). I'm hoping that just getting everything back to normal will help me feel better.
I do hope you feel better soon!!
Thanks! Today seems to be a much better day, and things seem to be slowly improving. I had my official "one week in" weigh-in this morning, and I'm down 2.3 kg since last Monday, which is very encouraging. I know it's mostly water and waste, but it tells me that I DIDN'T put on a full five kilos (I have about 2.8 kilos left to lose until I'm back down to where I was after my vacation, five kilos up from my lowest. Ugh.) in two weeks of not logging, which makes me feel a little better about myself. 0 -

I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling. My depression has recently taken a dive and become worse than it has been in years, so I know how bad you must be feeling. I'm struggling so hard against falling into the pit (so to speak), but I really don't know what to do. Your feelings describe mine as well, unfortunately--I've been feeling like a complete and utter waste of space lately who doesn't deserve to live. :-/ I hope you start feeling better soon!

Ha, yup. My husband looked at the scale and was like... "No WAY!" 0 -
My confessions today:
I got hooked on 'Da Vinci's demons' two days ago - I can not believe I have not seen this tv series earlier and there are 2 seasons out and 3rd coming soon!
I'm back to work after 2 weeks holiday and I actually missed it a bit
