Yeah, I think I liked the Reeses pb cup one a bit more...no complaints though. They were both delicious! There were others that I thought about getting....but knowing that I was going to eat them both by myself I opted for ones with less than 900 calories each. One was 890 and the other was 750.0 -

Yup, me too. Except that I usually do it more when my diary isn't filled out fully--if I can't pre-log my day, it tends to fall to pieces. While undiagnosed, I do have a lot of OCD-like symptoms, and not knowing exactly what I'm supposed to eat is quite a stressful thing for me. Along with my all-or-nothing attitude, I have to pre-log or I'm doomed.
Susie I am the same way! I had one of those days on Monday.0 -

Glad to hear you're starting to improve a bit @Susieq_1994 !
Very sorry to hear about your daughter @raelynnsmama52512 . The thought of a kid that young not even being able to sleep well just depresses me. You are handling this as well as one can.
I'm also very sorry to hear about those of you that have miscarried. I still remember when the oldest sister in the family lost her first. She's went from a very loud, in your face type of person to a very reserved person until she got pregnant again.
Thank you @spacequiztime ❤️ she woke up twice (3 and 5am) last night and that was after not going to sleep until 10pm. She usually goes to bed around 8 or 8:30, so we're hoping once we start the melatonin she'll be able to get some sleep.0 -

Everything!Cookies, mostly, and blondies.
I'm really not a big fan of most cakes (blasphemy, I know), so I almost never make cakes unless someone else is going to do most of the eating (like for family parties and such). I'm really thinking of baking the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars that I posted a link for yesterday along with the peanut butter pie, but I'm thinking that it might be too much--there are only two of us, after all! I REALLY want to bake it, though. Sigh.

I'm not a fan of chocolate with my cheesecake, but I am willing to give these a try.0 -

I love hearing stories like this and the others that were posted...but if they happened to me? I'd cry in a corner forever.
If you get scared easily maybe avoid this haha. I don't want to give anyone nightmares.
It was scary. The worst though was just the feeling of being watched at night. I haven't had any problems with this before or since as I said (just for a while during that time period). So people will probably think I'm crazy but I would be trying to sleep and I felt like if I opened my eyes I would see something evil sitting in front of me staring into my face so I NEVER opened my eyes when I felt like that because I didn't want to see anything.0 -

Thanks yall! ❤️ you seriously do not know how much better y'all have made me feel!
As far as my doctor's appointment, I had to reschedule for August 5th which was the earliest they had. I'm trying to hang on until then, right now my main concern is Raelynn so that's sort of helped me distract myself.
Good luck with everything. Take care of yourself and Raelynn.

But I did that TWO DAYS IN A ROW without even thinking about it. So this flare up is all my stupid fault, and I'm pretty mad at me. I'm also mad at my body for not being healthy, which is a common resentment I have that always comes to the fore when I get sick. Stupid body, stupid me, stupid everything.
You are NOT stupid. However, I really hope that next time you won't push yourself so hard. I remember thinking that although I was jealous of all your activity, maybe it was too much at once.I really hope you feel better soon.

Speaking of @Italian_Buju anyone seen/heard from her lately? I feel like I haven't seen her post at all the past couple days and I know she's good about popping in to give us updates
Was wondering as well. She is one of my favorites and I hope for the best for her...0 -

I love the ID Channel. My stepdad always tells my mom that she watches it so she can learn how to murder him. The one day I had it on & my dog was sitting there watching it & I couldn't help but think that she'll murder me in my sleep.
It would appear on an episode Cold Case Files: The Murderous Dog

Nowadays we seem to be having kids later in life. Lots of OBs treat us the same as a younger ladies, as long as there are no known genetic or physical issues. I just don't have the energy plus I want to be able to do the couples only vacation before I retire. I am already pushing that one!
I'm 29 and no where near being married or having kids so I'm sure I'll join the group of being an "older" lady when having children...whatevs! It seems to be the smarter thing to do anyhow with the cost of living so outrageous these days!0 -

Have you all seen the movie Idiocracy? It is making fun of, sort of, the practice of waiting until later in life to have children by the "smart" people while the "dumb" people just keep on having babies. It was filmed here in Austin and I personally know a couple of people in the movie.0 -

Please stop being so hard on yourself. You're super great!! I don't know anything about FND but it sounds very difficult to deal with. Continued prayers for your quick recovery. & Thank goodness for Mr SusieQ taking care of you.0 -

That's what I wore when I was thinner, but seriously I wear a size 12 and it's hard to find shoes! And I can't buy them online because I have to make sure they don't hurt my feet and I am terrible about returns! There are only two stores near me that sell dress shoes in my size, Payless and Shoe Carnival. I always have to buy tennis shoes in men's sizes because I need good shoes to workout. Anyone else with big feet?
I thought I had big feet (size 9) but Rachael wears an 11 and I don't think her feet are done growing yet. Her best friend (who's 22 hours younger) wears a 12. However, her parents are 6'2 and 6'4. Mr. Mo and I are 5'9 and 5'7.

I just ate a banana and I thought about back when I spent some time in a hospital. There was a girl who sat next to me and started ranting about the proper way to eat a banana. She said that her mom and sister peeled back the banana and ate it while it still sat in the rest of the peel. She claimed to have never seen anyone else do it like that.... and all I could think was ''Wait... you REMOVE the whole banana before eating it???'' I had never seen her way and she had never seen mine.
She thought this was crazy:
Most people eat their bananas like this, right?

Raelynn has to have her banana out of the peel, or else she doesn't want to eat it. I always thought it was just her lol! And now I want a banana sandwich like I had growing up (bread, DUKES mayo, and sliced bananas). Oh, I need some more bananas! :laugh:0 -

I fully admit that I am not at all capable of doing this. Especially not with the fresh tortillas that come with fajitas--oh, how I love tortillas.
I'm absolutely terrible with my self control when it comes to eating out. We do it very rarely though, so it doesn't have a huge effect on my weight unless I use it as an excuse to stuff my face for the rest of the day. On Eid day I've asked my husband to take me to a traditional Yemeni restaurant for lunch, so hoping that it will be as awesome as Yemeni food is said to be.0 -

I don't eat many bananas but I usually remove them totally and slice them and put them in a bowl. If I eat one without doing that, I leave part of the peel like on like in the picture so I don't get banana on my hands, though (or my hands on the banana for that matter.)0 -

Susie I am the same way! I had one of those days on Monday.
I haven't had one for a while, thank God. I'm really hoping that will continue for the foreseeable future. Not too sure though, because today and yesterday I've been feeling awfully munchie, although I'm pretty sure it's just out of boredom and self-pity since I can't DO ANYTHING. When I actually think of eating any specific food, my lack of appetite is still prevailing so far; I don't actually want anything. :-/0
