Oh, I am such a bad mother! My son is in the middle of diploma exams - I checked the calendar a dozen times and wrote down that his last two exams are on Monday. Got a call from the school at 9.34 saying that he should be in an exam right now and that they'd let him in if he got there by 10.00. I hauled him out of bed and thrust the car keys in his hand. He should be able to get there on time. I'm shaking. How could I have messed up so badly?
You're not a bad mom. Everyone makes mistakes! I'm glad he still gets to take the test.0 -

Bulk Barn is so evil!!
My SO always wants to go there cuz it is the only place we can buy MSG, but then I always end up buying my favorite Aussie style red licorice.....SO good it is amazing.....I do come home and divide it into 50g portions (although I eat one or two while doing it, lol). Also do the same with nuts.....26g portions as soon as we buy them....
What do you do with it?
He uses it to tenderize meat. I spent years telling him that places advertise that they do NOT use it, so that must mean something, but he doesn't care. I will admit that you never need a knife to eat meat he cooks.....0 -

The cat was quite pleased. 0 -

An ice bath after cooking can help with the peeling process. I understand the frustration. I hate it when the eggs don't peel right!
And you gotta peel 'em right away! I never have any success if I leave them in the shell for any length of time.
OK. I'm confused now. I cooked two. One wouldn't peel for nothing and the other one peeled fine. I think I got a defective egg. 0 -

I've been lurking since page 1... wasn't planning to post was just enjoying the confessions. Then the thread went on, and on, and on, and I never felt it was the right opportunity to post anything. Just wanted to say that there are probably lots of us who enjoy this thread, who empathise, who find it interesting, who laugh and cry along with everyone else, and might not post a lot but thoroughly enjoyed it, and hopefully will continue to do so.
My confession (I feel the need to contribute at least once) is that I skipped breakfast today so I could go for a waffle and ice-cream for lunch and I also have a take-away curry for dinner tonight. I use CICO when it suits me!
I am in maintenance at the moment as I have started NROLFW and am enjoying eating all the foods now, but this is the first time I've had ice-cream for lunch and I have no regrets!
No regrets! Often on the weekends, I don't eat breakfast because I know I'll eat a high calorie dinner and have cocktails. Welcome to the thread!
That's actually my weight loss "secret". I am not a morning person, and my stomach is on message, so I hardly ever eat breakfast. It gives me more room in the rest of my day, and I can eat a bigger meal during my starving time aka evening.
I don't eat until 9:30 or 10:00 and I get up around 5:00. I figure, why waste the calories if I'm not hungry?0 -

It made a nice change to be really hungry today before lunch with skipping breakfast. Normally I have 3 meals a day plus a snack mid-morning and I am pretty sure that snack is because it's a break in the monotony of work! I am definitely more of an evening eater...

Not judging, but if he's old enough to drive...why isn't he keeping his own exam schedule?
I kinda thought that, too. (But not judging!)0 -
And so it begins... My dad and step-mother are taking me out for a birthday dinner tonight. I have started logging what I suspect I will be eating. Fried chicken. This place has the best fried chicken but the calories are off the charts. I have been doing really well for the past 70 day, not once over maintenance. I really don't want to blow it this weekend just because it is my birthday. I just don't see how I'll be able to resist.
I am seriously considering telling them I am too sick to go.
My birthday was a couple weeks ago and I went way over my calories. The only affect was some water retention weight that stuck around for about 4 days and then disappeared. I still lost weight for the week.
One day shouldn't blow things up too much.0 -

Australian licorice is my absolute favorite! We're taking a trip to our local candy/nut shop to get some snacks for our trip and I plan on buying at least 1 bag of this along with some trail mix, dried fruit, and maybe a few dark chocolate covered things. But definitely the Aussie licorice for sure!
The one I buy there is wicked expensive but SO worth it.....it is my favorite go to chewy! It has to be the good quality though not the cheap bagged at Wal-Mart stuff!0 -
Crap I have been offline for 2 days and there are like 40 pages to go through! I can't wait to see what you guys have been talking about!0

I hate when that happens. Seriously - I had a batch of them that just would not peel - I had to use a knife and a spoon and it ticked me off.0 -

Exactly. Also, I notice if I do eat early, I feel more hungry throughout the day than on days where I wait to eat.0 -

Totally understandable. I used to do that when I worked in an office too.0 -

Yeah.Heck, I always forget my kids 'special days' at school. They're 7 and I think they are old enough to remind me already.0 -

Ah I'm sorry I don't know how I missed that first post, I'm sorry @Tubbs216 you are not a bad mother, you are SUPER GREAT!

Confession for this evening; my parents called me earlier to let me know they're having the family dog put down soon. My natural reaction when upset is usually to curl up under a duvet and eat lots of sugary comfort food, but I'm trying to resist. I know it's only a dog, and in comparison to what a lot of you all are going through it seems really trivial, but it still sucks. Our dog is the first 'proper' pet I've had (aside from goldfish and pet rats when I was really young), and I grew up with her. Still, at least she's lived to the ripe old age of 15!
I would never think something like that was trivial and she isn't just a dog. I am one to believe that pets are a part of the family.
I'm so sorry you are going through that! (HUGS). I hope you know that she at least had a good life with you.0 -

Just go enjoy yourself! You can always start another streak. Its important to spend time with family, especially at events like birthday, etc. More important than a MFP streak!0 -
Fitness related confession: I attempted to do my HIIT workout last night, and by attempt, I mean, I made 2 rather pathetic rounds skipping some exercises as to not injure myself further. I think I actually DID injure myself further. My ankle was really swollen last night and my leg was really sore. I really hate that I got hurt so close to my vacation and I can't do a proper workout because of it.
Non-fitness related confession: My husband FINALLY messaged his daughter (actually, she messaged him after my request yesterday [small victory?]) and she is coming by Saturday because he told her he wants to talk to her in person. I am glad he finally did this and I hope he doesn't chicken out and lays down the law with her. I'm not sure if I will be present or not because I told my daughter I'd take her Father's Day shopping Saturday and I also have an eye appointment to get my trial contacts checked. A part of me wants to be there to support him, but a part of me knows me, and fears I might say something I'll regret. Not sure which part of me will win yet. Positive thoughts are appreciated.
On a related note, when I got home last night, I noticed her cat has managed to tear about a 4" hole in my carpet in the doorway of the room she's staying in. I was so irate that I started screaming at this stupid cat and telling her I hate her and she's got to leave. She didn't understand what I was saying and I am sure she didn't care because she proceeded to tear at the carpet once the door was closed again.
Unrelated but relevant to something I mentioned yesterday: I asked my husband about whether or not we're going to exchange anniversary presents and he said he thought we'd just do some shopping for each other while we're down there. I am on board with this idea especially since I already have an idea of what I want to buy him. He also mentioned that what he wanted to get me we couldn't afford but could make payments on it. I told him I didn't want any more payments and he said not even for a ring?! I love that man!
Sorry so long, but I had a lot to say.
tl;dr: I hurt myself working out, stepdaughter's supposed to talk to husband Saturday, and I may be getting a new ring.
The cat is staying in a room? Like by herself without much contact?? This REALLY bothers me....she must be going stir crazy, that is not good for her mental health....no wonder she is tearing *kitten* up, she must be bored and lonely.
If you do not want the cat,, please take her to a shelter or something, TODAY. If her mental health deteriorates enough, she will never be the same again. She may not even be able to mold properly into a family if she is in there too long.
PLEASE please do not leave that poor animal in there any longer, take her somewhere and give her a chance!0 -

I will admit there are times I get an egg that is just obstinate and will not peel correctly. I hate losing any of the darn thing because it is stuck to the shell. I have used the baking soda in the water, ice bath and those seem to help some, about the only thing I have not tried is cooking them in the oven. That just doesn't seem to make sense to me.0 -

I called the school and he did get there in time. So he wasn't prepared, but at least he's there.
