Speak for yourself. My cat ate a spider this morning. It was alive. And had it been capable of sabotage, I'm sure a good effort would have been made.
lol! Well, live breakfast could sabotage you... Pretty badly, too. As an example, the live octopus delicacy in South Korea can stick in your throat with the suction cups on its tentacles if you don't chew it well.
Nevertheless, the blog is still really annoying. 0 -

*whining* Guuuuuys (Well, girls...)! I got two new abuse flags. I'm curious and I want to know what posts they were on! I hate this anonymous flagging thing--I NEED TO KNOW WHAT GOT FLAGGED. I don't care who flagged it, I just want to know what I said that was apparently so offensive!
(I actually went back to see if it was my reply to MrFitness, but it wasn't. And that's like... The rudest post I've ever made on this forum. Who would have thought!)

I've been wearing contacts for 19 years so I can take them out put them in no problem.
This is me. I have worn contacts since I was like 14 or 16. They are the first thing that comes out when I get home. They don't bother me during the day, but the second I get home they MUST come out!
Haha I'm exactly that way too! During the day I don't even think about them but once home I'm not completely comfortable until I've taken my rinse off shower, put on my sweats, and taken out my contacts!
Nope. Definitely not just you!
If I didn't wear a DD, I would. As it is, if I go braless I risk a black eye when I go up the stairs.
I find the opposite, I am a H cup and cannot WAIT to get in the door and take it off because of the weight on my shoulders.....if I was smaller it would not bother me as much I don't think....
Wait...an H cup? I didn't know that size existed! Wow. Impressive. I would hate that. Between running and riding I have always been grateful I am small chested.
I'm a 32 J.
It was SO nice to go from a 36 G to a 34 HH to a 32 J on this weight loss journey..../end sarcasm
I consulted my doctor recently and asked her when some real boob shrinkage might happen and she said 'eventually, but for some women it never happens naturally'. I cried.
I feel like gaining weight was the WORST thing I could have ever done to myself. I should have been more active. I look back and I was beautiful at 160 lbs, a 32 DD, and size 8/10, but I didn't appreciate my body.
Confession: I am terrified that I could get amazing abs and try to show 'em off an no one will notice because BOOBS! I am afraid that they will be my body's most dominant feature and that I they wont affect my quality of life enough for me to get a reduction covered by insurance. This fear gets so bad, sometimes I self sabotage. Like today when I ate an ENTIRE FAMILY SIZE BAG of Lays Original Potato chips.
Well I have seen women with great abs and huge breasts and they show of both. It sounds like it's already affecting your quality of life. I'd see about reduction.0 -
I'm leaving for VA on Thursday for a family reunion and I'll be back Sunday. I'm sad to lose my log in streak, but I'm excited to dig in to all of the rich, southern food: biscuits and gravy, cornbread, pork chops, fried chicken, various desserts...no calorie counting for me. I'll make sure to bring snacks because there can be quite a gap between meals: breakfast at 9 AM, lunch around 2 PM, and dinner at 6-7 PM.
Have fun! Why can't you log in with someone's computer or your phone?0 -

Looks like my next post is my 1000 so I was going to post something but then chickened out. So will post this 'would you tell someone they look terrible' confession.
When I go to the gym I never wear underwear. A LONG time ago I basically totally exposed myself to a trainer wearing looser shorts when he was holding my ankles and I was doing sit ups. I know he saw EVERYTHING. But we just pretended nothing was going on (both too embarrassed I think...and its funny that Bare A**ed is part of that word) so to this day, when I go to a dressing room and try on looser shorts that don't have a built in panty I do the 'stress test'... basically stand with my butt to the mirror and contort myself in every way possible. As long as nothing gets exposed, I buy them.
My friend and I now have a standing joke whenever I buy something new...did it pass the stress test?
After that incident, I would have started!
It's completely uncomfortable. Rides up my butt and I sweat so badly. Most of the stuff I wear now has built in liners or is tight enough not to do that.0 -

The list of things that could go wrong was enormous: too dark, streaks, orangeness, weird deposits of dark color around certain areas, horrible smell. So at first I only tried my legs.
The color isn't very dark at all... I can probably make it darker if I apply more coats, but I don't want to be super dark. It gives me more of a slight ''golden glow,'' if that makes sense. I didn't notice that the smell was bad until I rubbed it on my upper body... it stinks. At least now the smell seems to have faded.
What did you use? What did you use? I don't want a tan, I just don't want to blind innocent bystanders with the gleaming whiteness of my skin.

When I was slim I wore a 38 C and I felt I looked nice. My chest grew larger with every baby, and never went back down. I am now at a 42E (or DD) and I feel you. I carry my weight in my hips and thighs, so I feel like the top of me is a "normal" size except for my huge chest just sitting there mocking me and making my shoulders hurt. I am also afraid that they will stay big. So far I am not seeing any change there
The largest I wear is a 44DD which is probably not the right size but it fits. I'm hoping for some skin shrinkage because they are starting to look really deflated and saggy which is grossing me out.
And to think I thought they were big at a 36C.0 -

I don't usually obsess about food. When I get close to my limit, it is almost always coffee that shoots me over the top. However, I had the best lunch ever yesterday. Well, maybe not ever, but certainly since I started counting calories. No, it was really the best lunch ever.
Prime Rib Salad. Prime rib, sliced thin, beautiful. It was laid out on a big bed of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, and other salady veggies. I think there was some kind of dressing on the side but I didn't pay attention to it. I watched my son and husband eat peanut butter pie and chocolate pie but I didn't care. I had prime rib...yummm.
I think I am going back there for lunch today.0 -
Hi all,
Sorry I haven’t been around for a while. Well I’ve been reading, but not posting. I’m having a really bad couple of weeks and I didn’t want to dump it all on you guys. However, I have missed you all immensely. Its strange how much I rely on this thread for fun and motivation. I don’t think you’ll ever know how much you have all helped motivate me.
My diet and exercise has gone out of the window, the binge monster is well and truly in situ and my brain is telling me all sorts of horrible things, about how fat and unfit I am, and always will be, and theres little point trying. And no matter how much weight I lose, my boyfriend will still never love me and I’ll never be able to climb the mountain and blah blah blah blah.
I look in the mirror and I hate what I see. I’m so fat and just can’t see how I’m going to get it off. And I know binge eating isn’t going to help, but I seem totally incapable of controlling it.
There’s a bit of an issue going on between my boyfriend and I. We need to address it, but I am avoiding the issue. Because, irrational me says he’s going to tell me all the things I don’t want to hear (that I believe about myself). So the poor guy has been getting a really hard time, for something I *think* he might say. I’m not being very grown up about things at the moment.
Most of the problem is I have not been taking my anti-depressants properly. I miss lots of days at a time, and that is obviously contributing to the blackness. Rationally I know I can fix that. I have reminders on my phone and email to take it, but I mostly just ignore them. I don’t know why. I know they help.
And just to make another excuse, theres a lot going on. My mum has cancer and is having her operation today. Her recovery time means I need to be home to have Charlie (2yo nephew) a lot more, which interferes with my life a bit, and well just excuses really. I feel overwhelmed with everything.
I’m sorry to dump this all on you, but a couple of people here told me it might help to get it out. And a big thank you to those of you who messaged me to check in: @pofoster21, @girldownsouth and @nonoelmo @Lois_1989. I really did appreciate it, and it was nice to think people noticed and cared enough to send a note. I hope I can remember to do the same for others.
I am trying to remember that today is a new day and all I can do is try. And some advice given to me in a message was that you will be able to help me with that. And I know its true. As a support group, you lot are amazing.

@orangesmartie I'm so sorry that you are going through all that.
I'm sending you virtual hugs, tonnes of them.
And I believe you can climb that mountain!0 -
Hugs for orangesmartie.
In figure skating, we say that falling is learning. When you're learning a new movement, a new jump etc, you will fall, and you should wear those falls as a badge of pride. You're just having a fall moment, that's all. It's a building block to your future 0 -
Checking in from page 918. I spent the last 37 hours in bed. No joke. On average, my Fitbit tells me I take 27,000 steps a day. Yesterday, my total was 414. I got so unbelievably sick Monday afternoon that I called my husband home from work early so I could rest. After lots and lots of vomiting(sorry) and sleeping and a tiny bit of food yesterday, I'm feeling much better. Not quite 100% but ok enough that my husband went back to work today (he took yesterday off because we don't have anyone else to help watch our son). Anyway, while I am very thankful that my husband took time off from work checking in on me and making sure I had everything I needed and he kept our son happy, fed, (and alive)...holy cow, the house(kitchen mostly) was a disaster! Like I said, I was literally in bed for 37 hours except for bathroom trips so when I came downstairs this morning...OMG! Dishes, crumbs, empty cans, cat's water bowl just about empty,..etc etc. Thank goodness I'm back to join the living because I'm afraid to see what the house would have looked like after another day without me!
Hope everyone else is doing well..I've got some catching up to do...in between cleaning!!
ETA: I hope I don't sound b*tchy...I really do appreciate my husband..so, so much for so many things beyond helping me when I am sick. I think it's just nice to see that I am needed..he got a glimpse into my day as a stay at home mom...it's not just all relaxing with our son playing games, and having fun. There's cleaning, laundry, dishes, and meals to be made, cats to take care of, etc. etc.
Ok enough.0 -

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all that.
Missing medication will definitely cause issues, but when you're already depressed it's really hard to care. Maybe place it next to your bedside with a cup of water and just pop it into your mouth when you wake up without really thinking about it?
Dumping things is what this thread is here for! I wondered where you were, but @pofoster21 just said you were taking a little break, so I thought maybe catching up with the thread was getting to be too much work and you were busy.
Be kind to yourself! It's so easy to look in the mirror and hate what we see--I'm going through it in a big way now that I've gained 10 kg and it's really hard to get my rear in gear even with that. Self-hatred seems to make it harder, not easier. Especially with binge-eaters, from what I've read, because it creates a really vicious cycle. Try not to put yourself down, although coming from the same place of body-hating, I know that's really, really hard.
I'm really sorry about your mom--I hope that her operation and recovery go smoothly. I understand how resentment can sneak up on us when our normal lives are disrupted, even when we feel it might be misplaced--that's a very normal reaction to such a happenstance.
As for the boyfriend issues... I often find it's best to suck it up and talk it out, because otherwise it just keeps getting bigger and uglier and harder to clear up when it might have been easy to deal with at first.
Whatever happens in the next few days or weeks... Be gentle with yourself. You're not a loser or a pig or ugly or anything like that. You matter and people care about you! And also... You can totally kick that mountain's rear end!0 -
