Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

This reminds me. My husband thanks inanimate objects for things. He's embarrassing at the self-checkouts that talk to you because he'll actually bend down and say 'Thank you' to it.
I confess that one time I was shopping at a grocery store while I was in college & dropped a bunch of coins. As I was scurrying to pick up change I thanked someone for helping me to pick some of it up. It turns out it was me & I saw myself in a reflection & thought it was someone else. So embarrassing haha.0 -
Oh that is funny! Well, only because you have to deal with it and I don't. My husband spends way too much time home alone now that he's retired. He talks to himself constantly and when he's not talking he's whistling. He now does this out in public. Drives me nuts. Seriously??? Shhhhhh. It's like walking around in public singing. Can you please NOT call attention to us for no reason?
Whistlers grate on my nerves! Especially if they're shrill.
There's an old man who shops at my store who sings & it's adorable & hilarious all at the same time. The one day he went around singing The Star Spangled Banner. Now there's another old man that brings a piccolo in that sounds freaking awful! Makes me want to ram the piccolo down his throat.0 -
I talk to the self check out machines too... but usually it's to curse at them LOL.
They're so annoying! I hate when you hit to not bag a heavy item & it constantly comes up for the attendant to help. At least at Wal-Mart you can load your bags as you go, but at Giant you have to leave all the bags on the stand.0 -

I had a stressful day today with workish related things, and lot of strongly worded emails....
I just ate an entire box of Laura Secord milk chocolate real butter shortbread cookies while reading this thread.....
let's just say they did NOT fit into my calories....
Good night all, can't wait to post 400 posts in a row by myself again tomorrow night, lol.
Another thing I need to try!0 -

I haven't been able to wear these pants since before I was pregnant with my 9 month old, so almost 2 years? 2 years? something like that.
And I'm now down to 21.6 lbs til goal. I'm also 1.6 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I was hoping to do the "9 months on, 9 months off" thing, but it's looking like it'll be closer to 9.5 months off. Oh well. What's important is that I'm doing it, right?
I have a hard time with pants. I lost 160 lbs in 2008-early 2009 and kept it off even after my 1st pregnancy, then gained 20 lb back, got pregnant with my son and had 20 lbs left from that. So all together, I had 40 to lose. I still kept 75% of my weight loss off, so ok not too bad. But I honestly need a paniculectomy (spelling?) I have stomach skin that hangs badly and I have to tuck it into my underwear (I know, gross, sorry). I was waiting until I maintained my goal weight and was done having kids (we are) until I started saving for the surgery. Also, I checked into it- surgeons want you as low of a BMI as possible so they know they're just cutting skin, not all the fat/blood vessels underneath.
So in the picture below, that's the weird lumpy thing around my hips- stoopid skin
But I got cute orange pants on, so yayyy!
You look great! And they may be vanity sized but honestly, you look like you could be a 6 in that picture! Congrats on your NSV!!!0 -

I'm laughing at myself too.
(Confession #2: More so because this is *still* my impulse. A guy was just flirting with me over facebook and I had to sit down and tell myself "no Absynthe. No deactivating your facebook and creating a fake account for a fake friend to notify him that you were in a car crash. Just drop hints that you're gay like a civilized human being.")
That made me laugh.

I have 2 confessions.
1. My HUGE naked *kitten* has hung in a public art gallery for the world to see. Worst thing is it was a self portrait lol
2. I also write erotic fiction.
Those are strong first contributions to this post. Well done! @asflatasapancake take note!!!0 -

Trying not to judge... I would probably pass out if my husband brought flowers to my office. I have him trained to send flowers on Valentine's Day, but he would never do it spontaneously.
I had the same thought. I don't think anyone has ever sent me flowers at work. 0 -

Wow, today has been busy in here. I can't even begin to keep up. But my name is Shirley. I hate it. Who the heck names their kid Shirley .
My oldest daughter is Rachel, and although I can't admit this to my DH, she was named after the Friend's character. Both daughters have somewhat unusual middle names, Raven and Rain. No Shirleys, because I just couldn't do that to them.
And don't call me Shirley!
I also named my daughter after Rachel Karen Green. However, we spelled it Rachael because my husband's name is Michael and I wanted to honor him in spelling her name similar to his. He absolutely knows that's where I got the name and she does too. She has a cousin named Raven.

I made the conscious decision to get the crackers instead of the nice bananas at the front of the store. Luckily, today is a new day to do well. But still, not proud of last night.
I ate a whole bag of caramel Bugles last night. Went specifically to the store to buy a splurge. Wanted Ben and Jerry's The Tonight Dough ice cream, but they didn't have it.0 -

This was back in November 2014...
Since then, I have binged, forgotten what exercise is, and have ballooned to 235 lbs. No self-esteem, no fitness, nothing. Time to make a change, and get back into the game!
Baby steps! You can do this! A lot of us have been there.0 -

16 almost 17 years ago I was on a a similar (but different) thread of sorts. Some of the women from this ivillage thread over time formed a yahoo group. There has been some attrition but nearly 17 years later we still check in nearly daily with each other. All of us have met some of us but we have never managed yet to all get together. We know each other's phone numbers and home addresses. It was carefully screened and we took time to get to trust each other but sometimes internet does move very nicely into real life.
We have been there through good and bad times and really have some great friendships.0 -

I have a similar group of Marine wife friends. There are probably 20 of us, and we've followed each other from message board to message board since 2002. Not all of our husbands are still in, but we also check in every day on our Facebook group. I consider those women some of my best friends now.0 -

What @quiksylver296 said, story of my life! It's hard to keep it off; drug abusers can stay away from situations where they come into contact with drugs, but everyone needs to eat! It always seems so unfair how long it takes to lose the weight and build the fitness compared to how quickly you can put on the weight and lose the fitness. You can do it though, we all can. We just need some willpower, some support and to go easy on ourselves from time to time.

That is cool. Do you get to pick the gender? So can you decide a car is female and a table male? And someone else decide the reverse? Or is everyone aligned?
Arabic has the most convoluted grammar rules in the universe, and there are tons of them. It's not easy to explain (or understand...)
Basically, words ending with a certain letter called "ta marboota" are female, conventional "female" words like "pregnant" are female, all body parts that come in pairs like eyes or hands are female, and the names of the alphabets are female. Clear as mud, right?!0 -

Are we twins? I thought I was the only one!! My dad whistles ALL the time, I can't handle it!! Especially when he does it in the car! GRRR whistling for me is like nails on a chalk board for someone else

I agree. I've been faithful to my husband for 15 years and have never had any difficulties staying monogamous. To my knowledge, the same is true of him, even though there have been times when he's had the opportunity to cheat. We made a promise to each other when we were married. Marriage isn't easy, but we both work hard to make it work. We're both committed to our family. Society today condones adultery and makes excuses for people's bad behavior. I say people need to be responsible for their own behavior and quit making excuses. Show some integrity, people!
I'm torn on the issue because I can see both sides. However, I totally agree. I've never once cheated on anyone. I've had people hit on me but if I'm in a relationship, I am not interested in anyone else. I'm not even tempted.
I think society is a big part of a lot of it (as well as technology making it so easy to do/get away with).0 -
