FFFC 7/24

on a similar note- thinking of driving to the store to get myself a piece of cheesecake. DH will be out all day, so basically, I will have no shame when it comes to what I eat today.

Liv do it!

Do it! But i'd buy the whole cake! Whole foods has the BEST strawberry filled buttercream cake that you can buy just a slice of.

FFFC: I never thought of bagging diapers unless I was tagged in the UO thread and read it. In my defense, I've only ever changed in public restrooms and don't believe I've left a poopy dipe at a friend's house. I will definitely be cognizant of this, and now use the baggies I got for my shower because now I know what they are for. I thought they were for my own house.

I've never considered it either, unless it was for my own benefit (I had to walk a ways to the trash can, etc.) We typically keep changes of clothes in our diaper bag in a ziploc, so those bags get used for the nasty ones as needed!

I would also get the whole cake. Apparently this baby is the key to my being a normal weight, which is awesome.


Another confession, I smile and nod when people say they wish they could eat like me and be skinny but inside, I want to slap them and launch into a rant about how it's actually AWFUL. I would rather be overweight than under, there's so much more support for losing weight than gaining it

One of my friends in college had a body type and metabolism very similar to yours. I was always really jealous of her, since my body naturally likes to keep a little extra padding around and she was just always perfectly trim. Then I roomed with her for a year, and realized how difficult it was for her to maintain and how much time and thought it took to not overdo it with exercise and eat enough calories each day. It's stressful to be over- or under-weight, but you're right-- I'm sure it's hard to find any empathy when your struggle is to keep weight on, since there's so much pressure on everyone to be super super thin. Our culture's obsession with "skinnyness" sucks.

There was a girl who I used to work with who was very under weight.  So she started drinking whey protein shakes - made with milk which she was intolerant to.  So they made her throw up.  She wasn't the smartest person in the world!

TheCoffeeNinja - you should have just worn one of these with protein shakes attached! j/k

mary1217, the milkshakes are a double-edged sword for me too. On the one hand, they work but on the other I'm lactose intolerant so it's not an ideal or long-term solution. There are lactose-free ones but they're $$$ and taste like old sock.

Yeah she always complained that if she mixed it with water that they tasted bad.  I would tell her it was pointless to drink them to gain weight if they are making her get sick because that will make her lose weight.  She tried to join the navy and they told her no because of how little she was.

My trainer called just before I left work for the day to cancel on me. No problem. I should have gone home and done some chores while the kids were still at school and the hubs is out of town, but I went to my parents' house instead and had lunch with my mom. Now I'm just killing time here until I have to get the kids. I'm not going to tell DH that my training session was canceled.

Online videos of flash mobs that sing or play music, or dance make me cry like a baby

I'm over Caitlyn Jenner. The Diane Sawyer interview was so poignant and powerful, and now it just seems like a Kardashain media circus. I had such high hopes, but the over saturation is going to do more harm than good, I fear.
