Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

Sigh I pretty much own this page. So for today:
I miss checking in with you guys during the day, I really don't like this posting of stuff all at once, I feel like I miss all the action, but I really do need to focus on work.
Our daily motivations are really starting to work for me. I didn't want to fail again today so I made myself go out at 11:20 to run for 30 minutes so I could keep my commitment.
I liked hot yoga. Sweat like crazy. And the calorie burn can't be beat.
I have a random and rather narcissistic confession. When I run these days I tend to keep touching my sides and my stomach. I love how it feels with all the muscles working and only a little skin and fat under there...and no love handles. When I run with my friend I hope she doesn't notice I do it. Its become almost automatic every few minutes. Kind of weird...but it is motivating for me!0 -

We actually went to Cedar Point the week after, so he fake proposed just before we created the hill on Millennium Force. Haha.

My favorites are bread & butter!
I also like some of the chips that are dill flavored (Pringles & Lays).
Yup, bread & butter ALL THE WAY!!! I haven't had chips in forever...just spears or sandwich sliced. I used to love the way Papa Ginos and even my school cafeteria's salad bar had the pickles cut into little cubes. The were awesome that way.
EDITED because I just realized you actually meant chips flavored like pickles...I first read it as pickles cut into coin/chip shapes. (I'll be slow again today... my stupid brain/body woke me up at 3:00 again...)0 -

I loved them so much in college. I used to cook them, then drain them and then mix in the seasoning as it made it that much more intense. I tried them probably 15 years ago again...ICK! So salty and just not my thing anymore. Same with Kraft macaroni and cheese (which we have talked about before).
My husband still loves them for a fast snack (he just microwaves them). I used to like them and would drain almost all of the water too. I've also skipped the seasoning packet and done minced garlic, peanut butter, and soy sauce for a makeshift peanut sauce...throw some veggies in (usually used peas) ..not bad. Haven't had them in forever but thinking of doing that again soon.0 -

I do this too. It helps remind me why I run every morning...even when I'm tired.0 -

Nope, never heard of it. But maybe we can swing by before or after climbing our mountain and check it out!
We sure can. my family are all there, so i won't be able to escape with stopping by. On the plus side, there is a cafe there that does uh-MAZE-ing cherry cheesecake. Everytime we go up, we pre-order two massive ones to bring home and freeze.

Ooh I forgot about those! Have you broken into them yet? From last weekend!0 -

I am so sorry. I confess I always wondered how a threesome could truly have an equal relationship, if you recall early on I said I didn't think I could handle it at all, I would always be insecure in that situation. But now that you are well into it and all of you love each other, I wonder if counseling for all of you would work? He sounds like he has a lot of issues period, which he needs to work on and which affect all 3 of you. Certainly spending the night at a Starbucks is not healthy for you. Read Susie's later post on taking care of yourself... you need to do that first and foremost. You will never be happy in this relationship if you are not happy with yourself. Then and only then can you make a relationship equitable and work...and you have 2/3 to make work which is incredibly difficult, I would imagine.
Hugs to you and feel free to message me anytime you need a sympathetic ear. Without much productive advice I an afraid. XOXOXOX
It can work, its just difficult. Triadic relationships such as ours are rare, because, its generally not easy to find two other people that you fall in love with, who also fall in love with each other.
I think when i say equal, i don't mean equal in terms of how much you love someone, but more, that you view the relationships as equally important. I love both my partners, but for different reasons. I have never tried to quantify it (i love Mrs more than Mr for example). I just know that i love them both, very much. I guess its the same as having more than one child. You generally love them for all their quirks and faults, and don't think i love X more than Y.
He does have issues and we are trying to support him in working on them, he let them slide when he started this new job and we're back to telling him it is essential. I have suggested group counselling, but trying to find a counsellor that can deal with our dynamic is tough.
Staying at starbucks wasn't my first choice, but all the hotels were full, so it seemed the safest option, well lit, toilets, drinks, CCTV. It wasn't like i was going to get a lot of sleep anyway. Next time, i'll book a hotel before storming out
The thing is, when we're all working and pulling in the same direction, our relationships are absolutely amazing, so easy and comfortable. we all get on so well, have such similar views on things and can spend hours having random conversations, about not very much. We've even designed our dream house (for when we win the lottery) to the extent of getting out a laptop and drawing floorplans in paint. We have been friends a very long time and i think perhaps what we have is more a difference in language X means Y to me, but him it means Z. I need to clarify this, and will be doing so this weekend. Equally, when things go wrong, they go spectacularly wrong.
I have to say, I really appreciate all of you letting me vent here, even though i'm sure most of you are horrified at the situation and i'm not making it look any better but it is helping me sort out my thoughts and feelings, without getting into that nasty internal negative spiral.

Yes, i portioned them all up when we got home and froze all but three slices, which we ate on Tuesday night.

Roll down a hill? Pfft, pathetic. I've done that without even trying. It is called falling over your feet and not being able to stop. Also, didn't anyone watch The Princess Bride? You do that and you're likely to end up around R.O.U.S. and in the fire swamp. I'm shaking my head at the stupidity.
Hahaha you're funny- good call!0 -

I wish I knew how to sew as well--it's not a skill that's popular in Oman because of the proliferation of cheap tailor shops available for stitching; almost everyone in the country wears custom-tailored clothes for this reason. When I was younger, I thought the idea of store-bought dresses was so weird... 
Oh gosh, how lucky... I wouldn't have spent my teenage years in too-short pants, and I'd have clothes that fit me properly now.
The closest I came was getting a high school jacket custom made (yes, I still have it) and needing to get two extra inches added onto the sleeves. Apparently I am built like a gorilla... it's a wonder my knuckles don't drag on the ground.

So confession time:
I've been closing my diary everyday while it looks good and then mindlessly stuffing extra food in my face that I don't want or need.
I've only lost 0.6 of a lb in 2 weeks so I know that has to stop.
I apologize to everyone who has been liking the diary of lies. The only goal I'm setting today is to honestly log everything I stuff in my face.
ETA: just posted that as my status too. I'm actually ashamed of myself.0 -
Wow, everyone has been busy!
I don't have time now to comment on all the posts I would like to, but I'm feeling pretty happy and wanted you to know that today I'm NORMAL! My weight hit 149.6, which puts my BMI at 24.9 = normal range.
Also, I read about the guy who just won the hot dog eating contest. How bad do you think the water weight would be after eating 17,600 calories and 48,360mg of sodium? (Eating contests are revolting, in my opinion.)

People were talking about Ramen noodles the other day and now I'm craving them. I haven't eaten them since I was pregnant with my son 8 years ago. And no, I'm not pregnant! The factory is closed!
That made me laugh because it's me that keeps talking about Ramen noodles, and I never usually eat them either. Who knew they were a common pregnancy craving? Especially with fish fingers....mmmmm fishfingers....0 -
Thanks! Worst times are after swimming or after waking up. I've made it a habit to braid her hair after her shower or before bedtime and that helps a LOT the next day.
I love coasters, too! The BEST part is Kings Dominion is a mere <15 minutes from home. We get season passes every year and we burn em up! It also has a water park inside so we often go swim then dry off by riding coasters before we leave. We also have a Busch Gardens-Water Country less than an hour away as well. Blessed!
The only ride that ever made me throw up (not on the ride but after) was at King's Dominion & I think it was called Outer Limits?0 -

Don't be ashamed of yourself and as @orangesmartie said don't beat yourself up! We've all been there for sure, we love you, you can do this!!0 -
HI ALL! Popping in because I wasn't really on yesterday. Both boys have Hand Foot and Mouth virus (lovely daycare, they get something every other week) and I was home with them. Luckily, they must've had it for a few days already with no symptoms, because they don't have fevers and they're acting normal. My 3.5 yr old is ok, just saying his mouth hurts but my 10 mos old had blisters on his hands yesterday and trying to put bandaids on a baby and get him to keep his hands out of his mouth was next to impossible. They're both going into the Pediatrician this morning with DH (who has the virus now as well) to get the letter clearing them for daycare.
I shaved off a tiny bit of weight, which is a miracle, because yesterday I lived off coffee with cream and bites of things like half of a hotdog. I'm now only 3 lbs away from my first goal, 8 lbs from my "final" goal, and so ridiculously happy about it.
We're picking up our dog (who we're re-naming Clover Belle, her name from the foster home is Dixie but my oldest DS says it and it sounds like an unfortunate body part so we can't keep her name) on Saturday still and everyone's excited. I sanitized the house yesterday, washed and bleach watered everything not bolted down, so I think it should be clean enough for when she arrives. 0 -

I'm going to confess this and hope I don't get blasted. From my religious (Christian) view point, I don't agree with @orangesmartie's relationship set-up. However, my religion also says "Judge not." So, I have not been judging, but listening and learning. I find that I have learned a lot when I listen without judging. So, thank you, @orangesmartie, for helping me improve on me.

Coaster fiend here. We have been known to book holidays based on what coasters were nearby. We were lucky enough to visit Ceder Point in Ohio a few years ago which I loved. I'd love to go back but it's a bit of a trek from the UK! Our most local proper coaster park is Alton Towers. Unfortunately there was a crash there on the Smiler last month and two teenagers had to have legs amputated! Hasn't put me off since I believe it to be a one-off and I'm sorry for those teens, but I'm sad the coaster will inevitably go - I've ridden it and it was a fun one!0 -

I'm sure @LBuehrle8 will back me up on this: If you ever go to Ohio you MUST go to Cedar Point https://www.cedarpoint.com/. It's consistently rated as one of the best parks and is the self-professed "Roller Coaster Capital of the World"
Totally agree! Wish I could go back one day!

Yup that's it. The indoor coaster. I was able to ride it a few times before they changed the harness and now I can't fit the lap bar over my knees due to my long legs. Oh well, at least I did get to ride it beforehand.0 -
Verklempt! I just dropped daughter at airport. She's flying solo - with a change of planes even. She is doing well overall. Eating is MUCH better, she stops when she is full. She is not obsessing so much over her weight. I hid the scale. I got rid of her FAT mirror. It was evil, added lumps and pounds to even her slender figure. She now comes and looks in my mirror which is not a mean, lying, evil mirror. She is much happier. She is looking forward to school and to checking out colleges. She is checking out one college this week. Oh, WestcoastJo I may have to ask you in PM where you are (of course you don't have to answer). I also may forget to do it as I am leaving tonight with SO.
Do you hear that? It is getting louder. In N Out protein style no cheese or sauce is calling me!! (It is unusual that I'm called by food so I must go check it out.)
Great to her your daughter is doing a lot better with body image & not obsessing about her weight. I wish we had In N Out on the East Coast.0 -

Not horrified! I actually find relationships with multiples, including polygamy, fascinating. It's not for me, but I've researched it quite a bit. The fact that I feel like I kind of know you and really want you guys to be able to work this out and be happy adds a whole new level to my education on the subject. I hope that isn't somehow offensive or insensitive. I'm team Mr Mrs & Ms Orangesmartie all the way!0 -
@FroggyBug If you can find a local Yarn Shop, there are sometimes informal gatherings of people knitting or crocheting just to be social. There is always someone willing to watch/ give pointers. (My local shop has "Knit Night every Thursday night, just for people to gather and visit while knitting or crocheting.) If you lived closer, I'd teach you how to crochet. I've been crocheting most of my life!
Thanks for the tip. I'll check around. I wish you could teach me haha. I REALLY want to learn. I think it would give me something to do when I'm stressed out. 0 -
I am becoming addicted to dieting and exercising. I obsess about the calories I consume and burn. Whenever I have an available length of time I want to fill it with walking, running or weights and frequently do. I have started listening to books so I don't have to sit and read. The scale is driving me nuts; I weigh myself everyday but it never makes me happy.
I need to finish my reports so I can start a sewing project. That usually absorbs my focus. Hopefully, it will become my new obsession.
PS. I love roller coasters, sweet gherkin pickles, platform shoes, and pedicures. My dog's name is Woola. He is a Labrador Retriever who is dumb as mud and sweet as pie. My younger son is a curly-topped ging and my older son is a breaded Brooklyn hipster.0 -

I've had people ask me why I don't move out on my own. I make enough money and I could go to school and cook my own meals and have ALL the benefits of living on my own. However, and my father is too proud to admit it so my mother told me, the household would not be able to run without my rent money that I pay them.
My mom is currently up in Dallas, TX taking care of my cousin Sheri as she fights her 3rd battle with breast cancer. When she gets back she wants to get a job and go back to work, save some money again and get a house that is smaller and easier to maintain on the lower budget they have since my other Uncle died and we weren't getting his disability anymore.
I don't begrudge them a dime of my rent because now that I pay that rent, it pays for my food(I just pick out healthier stuff and cook it myself), my shampoo, water that I use, the use of the room, the bed, the internet. Granted it is more than I would actually pay for an apartment in Bastrop for all of those things, but I also owe them a debt for supporting me when I first got divorced. They were there when I needed them and now it's my turn to stay, even though sometimes I don't want to, because they need me.
That's a really sweet and mature thing to do for them. I'm sure the appreciate it more than you know. Also, sorry to hear about your aunt, I hope she comes through treatment successfully.

On another note, I keep hearing some weird sound coming from my kitchen and I'm not sure what it could be. I told my boyfriend our apartment must be haunted or something. It almost sounds like some water is splashing on the floor violently, but I can't find anything wrong. We recently had an ant infestation so maybe a big ant is making noise in our wall as revenge for our ant murder.
Creepy. I hope you can figure out what it is. If you do, let us know.
Back in about 2009 or 2010, we had a few months were my whole family was experiencing weird things (in different locations) that I've never been able to explain to this day. It was really weird... I felt like we were all haunted for a while too.0
