- I get scared when I feel myself slipping back into old habits
- It's a choice.. a hard choice.. to eat healthy every day
- I have dreams about going shopping
- I pretend my flavored water is dr pepper lol

I confess...

that I touch my collarbones and hipbones all the time because I'm excited to actually be able to feel them.

that I drink a ton of Diet Mountain Dew and eat a lot of those little 55-calorie York peppermint patties and I don't feel guilty about it at all!

that I still worry about people seeing me run, but not enough to stop doing it in public.

that I don't really believe in plateaus, but I hate to type those words because now I'll have one.

that I kind of like when people in my real life are a little jealous of my weight loss. :devil: Only people I don't really like, though. :lol:

I confess...

that I just ate a huge burger and fries and it tasted awful. And now I feel awful :(

I confess

I hate exercise but I do it anyway because I need it to burn calories
I love water and dislike soft drinks, particularly diet ones
I love the feeling that my pants are getting looser and looser everyday :D

I confess . . .

. . . that when I weigh myself, I do it more than once with hopes that I will get a lower weight.
. . . that I stay diligently on plan during the week, but during the weekends I end up eating too much.
. . . that I use school as an excuse to not exercise.

I Confess -

- to having over 1000 pictures on my computer of supermodels, super-skinny celebrities and tiny dancers.
- I genuinely believe that everything in my life will fall into place the second the scales say 126lbs.
- I have disordered eating - if I eat one bad thing, I have to binge, and then I starve myself the next day. I know its not good, but I would rather die than let anyone know.

fun thread! :carrot:

I confess...

I will never give up my chocolate or alcohol:)
I have a bad habit of NOT counting the calories in air-popped popcorn and sometimes eating as much as two bowls in one sitting (like now)
I paid for a gym membership that I never use and still owe them WAY too much money
I love exercising, but just never do it.
Sometimes I feel really ugly and unfeminine
I've been maintaining for atleast half a year, but I still have 'wow, that's my body?' moments - like yesterday, when I realized that I was close to a 1 in jeans and an xs in dress pants.

I confess...

- I baked a cake for my husband's birthday today and I skipped dinner so I could have a slice!
- I weigh myself obsessively....usually at least 3x per day
- I'm with LisaMarie, I'm forever touching my collarbones just 'cuz I can actually feel them
- I sometimes restrict calories so that I feel like I don't HAVE to exercise

OH I could probably go on! But that's enough for now. Thanks, that was therapeutic! :)

I confess that I agree with you! Won't give up either.

I confess that I ate 5 malted milk balls today.

I confess that I ate a bunch of ham on the same day I also ate beef and noodles and I was up 4 pounds on the scale the next day in water weight.

I confess I'm not an avid exerciser. In fact I'm extremely lazy.

That last one would be my biggest confession.

I confess...

I confess that I'm forever juggling my exercise calories and trying to decide if I've worked off that extra Thin Mint.

I confess that at the buffet dinner after my 10-day backpacking trip last week I had 2 plates of food plus dessert and loved every moment. And I could still name almost every food I ate.

I confess that I utterly HATE exercise, but love dance.

I confess that I envy dancers, gymnasts, and free runners more than any other people on Earth with a burning mix of hatred and longing.

I confess that I still see myself as 50 lbs lighter until confronted with photographic evidence.

I confess that I just don't really like water. Particularly after ten days of iodine water in the middle of the desert. Give me some freaken soda. ;)

I confess to cloaking my laziness over the past three or four weeks as a "plateau" when it's really just that I stopped working out.

Ok my turn for confession:

I confess that "haters" at work who ask questions/ give bad advice to me constantly about my weightloss don't actually frustrate me, but make me want this weightloss even more.

I confess that I think my sister and good friend only joined weight watchers because they are trying like heck to never be the same weight as the former fat girl, me.

I confess that I obsessively weigh myself several times each day, but also believe that its kept me on track for the first 40 pound loss, so its an obsession I'll keep.

I confess that I hope I'll get a boyfriend once all this fat is gone.

I confess that I still don't particularly enjoy exercise but am determined to stick with it.

I confess that I'm so impatient about weight loss and want it now!

I confess that I'm worried about being away from my scale for 3 days this weekend and what may happen.

I confess that I feel more comfortable in my "big" clothes, than the clothes that fit me now. (More comfy feeling "Skinny" in big clothes, than feeling the tightness of clothes that fit)

I confess that I keep changing my weight goal, don't really know what a good weight for me will be, as I have been overweight since puberty.

That's enough for now, I could do this forever.............

I confess...

...that I feel a bit blah when I look at my goal weight versus others since mine is so high, but I know my body.

...that I hold a very guilty grudge when I see people on 3FC whose starting weight is around my goal weight and they're my height. Every time I think that I have to give them an internal apology because I know that eveyone is different and has their own struggles.

...that I think I know everything and I have a huge (but very fragile) ego.

...that I have a momentary gasp of horror when I put something like Coffeemate into FitDay before I realize that it's giving me the calorie count for a liter and not the 2 tablespoons I used. Heh heh

...that I love nubiancooki's icon. Orange Blossom ruled! (I guess she still does :) )

I confess....

I expect results right away, and get discouraged when I step on the scale and haven't lost anything

I love butter, its one thing I can't give up

I want to be a runner...but feel I am a little too large to take it outside...so I jog in my living room while watching Ellen..

I confess....
that I love McDonald's cheeseburgers and Dairy Queen double chocolate milkshakes.
that I hate to sweat. (but I can now do 30 situps in a row without dying!) :D
that I sometimes feel convinced I have blown my diet when all I've done is think about cheating.
that I am still obsessed with food!

WOW! AWESOME thread!!

I confess:

- that I don't believe I will ever be 'slim' - I actually fear that I may get down to my goal weight and still need to wear a size 20, even though others say they are that weight and height and wearing a 10 (or even an 8!)

- that I, too, weigh myself more than once when I do it, making sure the digital scale doesn't 'change its mind'!

- that although I really AM doing this for me, I hope my husband will find me irresistible when I am thinner, and stop looking at other (thin) women :(

- and I confess that I am actually really enjoying this journey so far, even though I am a little over-ambitious with my mini-goals!

Thanks for the thread!
