    Which led to me posting MY booty pic :D

    Thankfully the SO is a booty and leg guy... the rear end I can work on, the boobs not so much... or not without paying someone to do the work for me.

    I have reached a new snacking low: eating leftover Cool Whip out of the tub (why dirty a dish?) with sprinkles. Yep, I can't be bothered serving it into a dish to eat properly, but I will make the effort to garnish it with sprinkles.

    Yummy, sounds good. I actually used to like putting cool whip in the freezer and then putting chocolate syrup on it and eating it that way.

    Mine too. I knew they would be; the sag was pretty bad when my weight was at its highest and the stretch marks were just sad.

    I don't think I was ever destined for a perky pair unless they were paid for. :P

    Same.

    I got to looking at what books I'm going to need this semester, and holy $677 worth of books man! Right now, it's only showing I have $250 available in financial aid to use, so I'm really hoping that my loans show up soon, because I need that extra bit! I'm also more than likely going to have to buy a new computer since my dear mother put a bunch of viruses on the one I have and now it barely works and I've got online classes and a class that will require me to download software, and this old laptop isn't going to handle much more. Sigh, at least I'll be able to actually pay attention and get stuff done (hopefully) for once lol!

    Makes me mad how expensive books are...

    Is this the frosting they use for German chocolate cake?! I never thought of putting it on graham crackers. I just eat it out of the can when I have it in the house. Which, I'm sad to say is pretty much never, because both Mr. Mo and Rachael HATE coconut, and Rachael doesn't like pecans. I can't believe I'm related to these people.

    I had never even heard of it before..and never eaten German Chocolate cake until it was posted a week or so ago in here..by Ceci and a few others. The frosting was mentioned and I saw it at the store on one of my cravey/naughty days. And yup, started with a spoon and then put it on grahams...AMAZINGGGGG!!!
    ETA: Sill haven't had the cake....

    Ok, so everyone can ignore my earlier whiny post and be proud of me for taking off the cranky pants!

    Despite being lazy and feeling bloated, I did my run- 9 miles and went for our 4ish mile walk. Now, I will go and horrify everyone at the restaurant when they see just how much pizza I can eat at their buffet! Weeeee!!!!

    Um...lol that's 13 miles! Go on and eat your pizza!

    Rent them, or buy used. Check Amazon.

    I'll have to check that out as a backup. I'm going to give it until tomorrow for my loans to show up, and then if they aren't showing I'm calling the financial aid office. I had to do that last year too :unamused:

    So, last night, I was all psyched and ready to start waking up at 5am to workout (aka yoga) and start getting myself back in a routine for school since I start back the 24th. Fast forward to alarms going off at 5, 6, and then Raelynn and I finally waking up around 9:30. Fail. Oh well, guess there's always tomorrow morning!

    Just so we're aware, I'm in no way, shape, or form a morning person. I used to (before kid) stay up all or most of the night and sleep until late morning or early afternoon. Why I choose to go to school at 8am knowing good and well that puts me leaving my house at 7, which leads to me having to be up at 5am, 6 at the latest (if I don't care at all about looking presentable that day), I don't know. :unamused::laugh:

    Jealousy is a curse, other Susieq!!

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins thanks for the kind words. You're right, I shed it once and I can do it again. I'm just so angry at myself.. I didn't even want the food - I felt sick and I was over full and I was sitting there thinking 'this is ruining all my good work and it's not even worth it !'

    True, true. :p But now I'm wondering if the Q will remain capitalized if I change my username by writing the same one over again with a capital Q. :D

    As for the food, I've done exactly the same thing! :( I'm so stuffed that I'm SICK and don't even want to LOOK at the food, much less eat it... And yet, I just keep eating it until it's gone. I don't understand myself sometimes. :/

    My confession of today is that I have gone NINE days without alcohol. And I find myself craving it, which is scaring me a little bit. I know a couple of you are recovering alcoholics. I figure if I can do nine days, I can go without completely. It was becoming a bit too much of a crutch. Plus, it was tons of empty calories, right?

    I'm really trying to talk myself into continuing this streak, rather than diving into a margarita or three.

    You can totally do it! You're better off without it--think of all the food you could fit into those empty calories! ;)

    Well the good thing is my boyfriend and I have been getting along A LOT better (had a fun time at the concert and this weekend in general-I'll post more later when I'm caught up).

    We do have our therapy appointment this Thursday. I have made it clear that if nothing changes I will leave though. :)

    Yay for all of this!!

    I hate when I eat something that I used to like & then realize it wasn't that great to begin with & such a waste of calories. I find that I usually feel this way about donuts, a lot of cheap baked goods (Tastykake, Hostess, Etc.), & milkshakes. I like to eat milkshakes every now & then, but then I realize that for the amount of calories they're a waste & I could've ate more satiating food instead.

    I avoid buying any kind of cheap/not totally fresh baked goods. I just absolutely refuse to buy them. If I'm going to be blowing my calories on something, it had better be something delicious--and when I DO buy something subpar, I eat it all out of guilt (I can't stand to throw things away) and end up with 2000+ calories of bleh, so that's all the more reason not to buy them at all!

    Ha! Another convert! My mission to win over the world, one Quest bar at a time. Now if you would just LOVE the Lemon Cream Pie flavor, I would be one step closer... ;)

    I'm so jealous that everyone but me get to eat Quest bars :'( Anyone want to buy me a box of them for my birthday? :D

    Yes! I've seen this one before and always laugh!

    There's another that says something about being able to fit into the hoop earrings you wore in high school. I'm awful at remembering exact quotes...and too lazy to look it up.

    I had that as my profile picture a while ago. It says, "Not to make anyone jealous or anything... But I still fit in the earrings I wore in high school." :p

    I undereat all the time. I almost get "high" off cardio and burn 500-600 calories per cardio session. But I don't increase my calories, so my weight loss is stalling...I have to retrain my brain to go ahead and eat. Most of the time I am not hungry...I used to weigh 262, but now I weigh 180, but I still see the fat girl in my head, so I stick to about 1500 calories even if I work out and burn 1000... :'(


    Been there done that, 20% of bulimics purge by exercise. No one would have thought I had a problem because even though my BF% was 7.5, I weighed 138 pounds at 5'7". Please do get help with starting to eat. It's desperately important. I wish you luck. I know where you are and how hard this is.

    @stacynoell awesome job on losing 82 pounds! Not judging but trying to help so don't take this the wrong way.

    Are you accurately measuring your burns by either using a heart rate monitor or a fitness tracking device like Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, etc.? Could you be overestimating your calorie burns?

    Do you weigh your food on a digital food scale that measures in grams, ounces, & pounds? If not then you could be overestimating how much you burn & underestimating how much you're actually eating. Sometimes eyeballing & using measuring cups can be off by a great percentage. Usually when there's a stall it's from eating more than we think.

    Sometimes the exercise machines that measure calorie burns are great overestimated as are the MFP exercise estimations.

    This is very true. :) Usually halving the MyFitnessPal exercise calorie burn is roughly correct. Also, be kind to yourself! <3 Starving your body of the nutrition it needs will give you a lot of unpleasantness down the road. :)

    I tried to take daughter to the weight room and show her it is not a scary place.... (FAIL)

    So it was more crowded than normal. Our gym is a club and is very family friendly and welcoming...except, it appears, the weight room. There were two other women in there and the rest guys of various ages.

    I start lifting and daughter comes to hang out with me. Right next to us a loud conversation started:

    Middle age man # 1 "How is your injury?"

    Middle age man #2 "It is ok, they have me full of antibiotics. I was taking a (SH word for pooh) and sitting on the toilet and pulled a scab off and nearly passed out."

    Me in my head (Really? You are established adults paying good money for this membership that stresses family values and a safe place and you loudly describe this when it is very clear there are four ladies within 10 feet of you?!?!?)

    Needless to say daughter did not participate in lifting weights last night. I wish I could have a private conversation with those men about appropriate conversation in public areas. Daughter admitted that the conversation was part of why she didn't lift.


    That is actually pretty disturbing! Your poor daughter!

    I HATE when people get rid of their animals just for being old!!!! It seriously makes me so unbelievably angry!!! It's even worse when they replace the dog/cat with a new puppy/kitten! GRRRRRR!!!!!!! :angry:

    Yup, it's horrible and I really don't understand why or how they could do such a thing. It reminds me of the older men who leave their wives for a "younger model" because their current wife isn't as young and pretty as she used to be. (Not that women don't do this too.) If you really love someone, you love them regardless of aging!
