      I am going to do a bit of grumbling, so please feel free to skim on by.

      My work is really ticking me off this week. A coworker is on holiday, and she is the only one who knows how to do her job. They refuse to ever train anyone, but then I'm expected to know how to do everything when she's away. I have people coming up to me constantly to ask where things are kept, if certain things are done, etc. and I want to yell at them I DON'T KNOW! There is one tiny task she showed me how to do, and I was shown the day before her holiday started. She knew she was going to be away, why couldn't she have started training me on it a week or two before? I kind of feel like its a job security thing for her, if no one else knows her job, she can't be replaced.

      Okay, venting over.

      This is probably absolutely the case. I feel this way about my job and manager right now. I swear she Is deliberately not letting me get engaged in stuff so I am invisible. Incredibly frustrating. I keep trying to find opportunities to make myself visible but they are hit or miss. It's really messing with my self esteem like what... You don't think I am good enough? But I believe it's more a function of mismanagement and fear.

      NSV today: A guy at work asked me if I had to stand up twice to make a shadow now. I was like "What?" He said well you have lost so much weight I don't think just one of you would make a shadow. I had never heard it put like that before :)

      Very cool! You go girl!

      I think you have turned out more than ok, fabulous actually. There is also 5 kids in my family so I totally get the feeling that there was someone always better, thinner, smarter or more athletic. Even when I went home this weekend the feeling of inadequacy crept in a bit although I did my best to ignore it.

      Thank you. And yep, seeing family puts me right back there. Especially my mom!

      I am getting worried about myself as well, lack of motivation, eating candy, drinking more diet soda, less water. It only takes a bit to derail me. I am sticking with water and no candy today. :)

      I was bad today & had around 5 Diet Mountain Dews (3 12 ounces & one 20 ounce). My biggest downfall is ice cream & binging around my period.

      Whenever I was around 300 pounds I had first set my goal weight to be 160 & I hit that in either late 2013 or 2014 & then decided to try to get into the 150's. I'm pretty sure I got around 155 & followed the TDEE approach for a long time until I got my Fitbit. In October of 2014 I was trying maintenance & went over my calories once & then got sucked into a binge/restrict cycle trying to make up for it. I don't know why I just didn't just let it go & eat back to normally the next couple of days after that. From binging/restricting I had gotten down to 146 pounds & then just kept binging/restricting until I decided enough was enough. Now whenever I have a binge I just own up to it & try to start over rather than starving myself as some sort of punishment.

      I also think at times my Fitbit can make me obsessive with trying to earn a lot of calories so I can eat all of the foods. I think whenever I hit back into maintenance at whatever weight I feel content at I will go back to doing the TDEE approach & just use my Fitbit for steps & look at the weekly calories burn chart.

      Yup, mine will change depending on what I'm wearing. They will match the shade of my shirts almost exactly...blue, green, or grey. I've had people think I was wearing colored contacts matched to my shirts...uhhh, no.

      LOL @ people thinking you change your eye color to match your wardrobe. I bet there are people who do that though.

      @pofoster21 How was your ride last night? Was that your first ride since being on restrictions?

      It was! Thanks for asking! It was ok. I was a bit annoyed. It takes me an hour and twenty minutes to get there. I rush to get tacked up. Get into the ring. My instructor maybe teaches me 20 min, we take a break, she starts talking to someone and 15 minutes later Tex thinks he is done and it's now quarter to 9. She was like you can be done with that when I comment Tex thinks he is done (horses can get cranky if you start again after they think they are done) and we finish. So a whopping 20 min lesson. Then take care of horses, etc. and I am getting home at 11.

      Then my contacts bothered me, I have vivid red eyes today, they hurt, so my head hurts so I skipped ride tonight and am in a dark room resting my eyes. Sort of. I couldn't resist checking on you all.

      Sigh? Rant over. I will try again tomorrow!

      As soon as you get back into your exercise routine now that you're cleared to do so, you'll be back at it.

      Trying! Demon eyes kept me from it today. Light seriously is painful. But tomorrow... No excuses.

      I tried color contacts once...I wanted fake green eyes to go with my fake red hair. Nope...way too fake looking! Never got them.

      Thanks for thinking of us! Sadie is at home, and last I heard she ate a bit this morning so that's a good sign, I think. She's on a few different medications and isn't completely out of the woods yet, but I'm hopeful she'll stay strong.

      Yay! Great news. I'm sure she'll continue to get better but prayers continue.

      I do exactly this as well - I skip going somewhere once and then I'm a complete weirdo about it after and will avoid returning.

      Me too...three...six? I had the hardest time returning to my gym as I hadn't been there in so long. And crowds wig me out. Even if I know everyone well. I hate our barn Xmas party even. Take me out of comfortable setting and put me in social setting even with people I know and I am a mess and get out as fast as possible.

      Find out when their delivery day is for the new stuff and come then. You will have better stuff to choose from and it all hasnt' been picked over like crazy. A girlfriend of mine who is a pro at shopping there knows the day the trucks come with the new merch and that's when she shops.

      I used to do that. Thursday is the day in my Marshalls. Go Thursday night and you are golden. ;)

      I'm sorry, I know that must have been painfully tedious to experience firsthand, but you have a way of expressing it that makes it sound hilarious and I was seriously laughing out loud reading that.

      Have you ever considered compiling all your dating nightmares into a book? You could be the next Erma Bombeck (hope I spelled that correctly). I think you've got your title right there: Have Nice Liberal Life. :D
      Or a blog. I would read either!

      I like movies at the 18+ theatres, where there are no children, the theatre and bathrooms are clean, and there's a bar, but going to one at a regular multiplex is usually not a lot of fun for me between the sticky floors, ear-splitting sound system, and crowds.

      We hardly ever watch movies at home either though because I'm constantly getting up to do stuff (put away the dishes or fold laundry, pee, fix a snack, Google something that just occurred to me, etc etc.) I barely even fast-forward through the commercials on PVRed stuff because I use them to do my fidget-y stuff.

      I have this incessant need to be "busy" that isn't served well by sitting still through a whole movie. I will be up and cleaning out the fridge or starting a new knitting project or wiping down all the kitchen cabinets or baking some bread because I can't just sit there. Drives my husband and our roommate up the wall sometimes but hey, at least they only have one household chore each as a result (husband cleans the floors, roomie does garbage/recycling.)

      I have the same thing. It's rare for a movie or TV show to hold my attention for long.... but I can sit and read a book (or the boards here, lol) for hours on end. But I have this weird non-retention deficit when it comes to visual media anyway... I can't remember movie titles/cast/plot/scenes/lines... yet I can recall every license plate number for every guy I ever dated, family members, friends, etc. But ask me if I've seen a certain movie and I probably can't tell you yes or no.

      I lived there from age two until I was five, while my dad got his Bachelor's degree. We lived in St. Louis , but drove down to Florida several times to visit my grandparents. Both my older sister and my youngest brother were born there, while my brother and I (the middles :p) were born in Oman in between trips.

      Think you'll ever come back? I know you said once you doubted it but you are very young.... You might enjoy it!

      Ugh, can I just go to bed now? I've been struggling all day. I feel like I've been run over by an 18 wheeler, and I have so much to do, but I can't bring myself to do it. Hubby told me to not even bother with cooking dinner tonight and we'll eat Wendy's instead. Total housewife/mom fail today...

      I hope tomorrow is a better day

      Wow, all of these are fun to read!! And it's good to see that I'm not the only one. I have to admit that I've been guilty of eating after midnight and counting it for the next day and if it's right before my monthly cycle, I can be found eating everything in sight. It once was an entire bad of chocolate chips, felt sick for days.

      If I'm home alone, I panic like crazy if anyone knocks on the door (It's always a mistake of some sort, since we have a non-existent social circle), so I run veeeeery quietly into our bedroom and shut the door until they go away. :p

      I don't like anyone in my house either. Not even to visit. Go away, this is my space! :D Luckily, I never have any visitors anyway.

      Me either. It took me years to redo the kitchen and bathroom because I didn't want anyone in my condo. Every once in a while I have my friend and her husband over (like every two years) and I am stressed out the whole time. And they are my best friends and great. It's all me.

      That sounds more than a bit annoying... more like a total rip-off. Hope your next lesson lasts the full time slot.

      I used to have the same issues with my contacts, a combination of working at a computer monitor all day, over-wearing my contacts (from the minute I got up until just before I went to bed) and apparently my eyes' decreasing tolerance for contact lenses in general. Even drops weren't helping.

      I got Lasik. But I think it was you that mentioned you'd never have that done?

      Honestly, I'm sure I would hate it. It would be a constant and unending panic attack for me--my husband got a scholarship from his company to study for his Master's degree in the United States and got accepted from three different institutions, but I panicked so horrifically about it that I had a three-month-long FND flare-up and failed the medical evaluation and the whole thing was cancelled. That's why he's studying here in Saudi Arabia instead--because of me. :-/

      Me too. I don't go as often as you, but I do go probably monthly. We have a great second run cinema near us and I'll happily pay $5 to see pretty much anything there. I also am quite happy to see a movie by myself.

      On Tuesdays movies are only $5.20. That is why I mostly go on Tuesdays. There is also a rewards program where you get 100 points for every movie ticket you buy, and 1,000 gets a free movie ticket, so I save them up for when I go on a full price night. The program also gives you a 10% discount on snacks!

      There are times I go a month or even two without going cuz I am kinda picky about what movies I see.

      ARGH! Confession: It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when people assume you have to do crunches to work your core. (No judgement on you, @jthurman3) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO CRUNCHES TO WORK YOUR CORE!!! :s

      Sorry, pet peeve.

      Confession #2: I NEVER do crunches.

      I always hated doing crunches in school for the Presidential Fitness test & climbing the rope. I could never climb that stupid thing!
