    I try not to think about my pets passing away. But that 'denial' made the death of my dog hit me like a ton of bricks and it still upsets me when I think about it.
    Pets ARE like children. I love mine so much it's ridiculous. ;)

    People ask me "Why don't you have any kids?" "Because I'm 26 and I don't have a stable partner with whom to have them. Besides, you have two toddlers, I have two ferrets. Same thing." *shrug*
  • I laugh because I don't have to send my 'kids' to college or buy them a car. ;)
  • @81Katz But I bet they get toys and things to occupy their time just like children.

    Lord knows I am getting overtime monies and it will take ALL my willpower to buy ONLY ferret food/supplements and to NOT TOUCH the tubes, mini ball pits, hammocks, and other ferrety enrichment items on my trip to the store...

    I hereby dedicate this burger to @HollandOats, with all it's mayo and bacon awesomeness. I only regret I'm out of avocado.

    This is perfect <3 Today is my birthday and I have already planned my bacon cheeseburger with mayo for tonight. :) And I'm having guacamole on my chicken sandwich at lunch.

    In fact, I confess, I'm going to spend this whole day watching the clock for when I can eat each thing I have planned, lol... I even love my protein powder/cashew milk... it's soooo good!

    I'm already pre-logged over 700 calories for the day, and am in basic denial of the barley pops I'll most likely consume with dinner. Lots of pre-planned fidgeting, too, to help offset the damages, haha!

    Have a great day!!!

    Happy Birthday!

    These last few days of being sad have been pretty revealing about my unhealthy relationship with food... I just want to eat until I don't feel anything but full. The lifelong habit of medicating with food is lurking around me. I didn't log the last couple of days, and I know I probably ate over maintenance, but I'm happy that I managed to avoid sitting on the couch and eating bags (plural...) of chips and cookies.

    Back on track today. Even if everything else is haywire, I am going to be kind to myself and not eat until I feel sick.

    This is something I am currently going through myself. My MIL is very ill and it looks like they may not be able to do anything for her. I am close to her as I lost my own mom when I was 26. So I am somewhat self medicating with food and trying to stop myself from doing that at the same time. I didn't log at all yesterday, but I am trying to do better today and deal with the emotions another.

    I am struggling with this myself over my horse. While that may not seem as sad and traumatic as a human this guy is the love of my life. I am just grateful I can spend some quality time with him in the last few weeks of his life. I am grazing him right now. But when I leave I will want to eat and drink to fill the sad places. Some days I resist. And some I don't then have that guilt and disgust with myself to deal with too. But I think we have to forgive ourselves and just keep moving forward. I do believe in the phrase that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

    Thanks @pofoster21, I understand how you feel about your big guy. I recently lost my youngest mastiff too. He was five years old. Our babies in their own way.

    I tear up just thinking that my cat turned 14 and probably doesn't have many years left. She's a pain in the butt but she's been with me since my divorce, and moved to the US with me. I've known her longer than my husband! And she's totally MY cat, always following me, waiting for me to go to bed etc. So yeah, I totally get it.

    Tomorrow I will be in training all day. This makes me sad for 3 reasons.

    1. I have no idea what we'll be served for lunch so I can't log it accurately.
    2. I won't be able to be on here at all.
    3. Since I do my HIIT at my office, I'll be missing tomorrow's workout.

    I am, however, looking forward to being out of the office for the day and getting paid for it, also...FREE LUNCH!!! B)

    Thanks! It is pretty much my personality. I DON'T SHARE CAKE!

    Except with me, cuz we're zombie killin' partners... :D

    I feel the need for a real confession today. - I used to shoplift in high school. A LOT. I had a shoplifting partner and we would go together and keep an eye out for the other. I lifted everything, bikinis, movies (VHS, that's how old I am), clothes, makeup, purses, whatever. We got chased out of the mall by security once. We ran through the back hallways where the public isn't supposed to go and exited out some little side door. I never got caught. My partner did, later, after she moved to another state and got put in jail and charged with a felony. - Irony...I've been a cop for over 18 years now. But I can spot a shoplifter in a heartbeat LOL

    Ok this is totally awesome. Living proof that people change!

    Today I had some delicious Ben & Jerry's ice cream after stopping in a bookstore. I didn't find the book I was looking for (Ancillary Sword), so I ended up going home and placing an online order for three books. Can't wait to check em out!

    ALSO, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! All of my grades have come in, except for one I was never worried about, and I am officially graduating University!! Now I can hopefully get my butt in gear and focus more on this! So relieved.

    Congrats!!!

    Confession: I will use the same k-cup 2-3 times. lol

    Worst confession I've read here, ewwwwwww. I loathe weak coffee...I'm the one who likes the cup from the bottom of the french press that's practically strong enough to stand up on its own.

    But that leads to a confession that I do put a splash of cold water in my super-strong coffee to cool it down for maximum immediate gulbability, and that grosses most people out too.

    I am such a wuss with hot foods/drinks so sometimes if I want to drink my tea sooner I will add in an ice cube or two. Otherwise I have to wait like 15 minutes to be able to sip it.
    I love my coffee (tea, too, but to a lesser extent) to be piping hot. The second it cools down, gets lukewarm, it almost disgusts me. I can't bring myself to finish it sometimes. At least the kcups I use. The thing is, I like iced coffee a lot.

    I love hot food. But now it's sounding a lot less appetizing in the summery heat we've been getting.

    I have a very sensitive mouth. Just last week I had strips of skin falling off because I burned it yet again with a piece of pizza... I often just end up dropping an ice cube in my coffee when I order some somewhere, lol.

    Stressful morning today and I just gave up on making the kids school lunches. Got my husband to do it. So sick of never knowing what to make for my daughter and I know she won't eat it anyway. Gosh.

    And I have absolutely no idea what *I* want for lunch, so I guess I'm a bit of an hypocrite.

    Holy crap, I hope your mouth is okay now.

    You'd be surprised how fast mouth wounds heal. I'm used to it by now. I always burn it...

    Oh, wow - she's truly your life companion! I'd be in the same boat you are: always worried, but know it will happen sooner or later. You've given her quite a life though!

    I raised my baby (a cat) from the time I found her starving and abandoned at around 4 weeks old at a nursery I was working at. She was so small that I could hold her in the palm of my hand and she wouldn't dangle off of either side of my hand.

    She thought I was her mother and HATES everyone else--She'll claw and bite and scratch everyone except me. I can pretty much get away with anything with her. Fast forward three years later, when I was getting married and moving to another country...

    ...I paid around 3000 U.S. dollars to bring her from Oman (my birth country) to Saudi Arabia. After paying the huge amount and bringing her, we found out that my husband is horribly allergic to cats. He almost literally becomes comatose around them--he can't function at all from the crazy-bad reaction he gets. I cried so much about having to give her up for adoption at that point--and instead of agreeing to giving her up for adoption, he offered to let me pay ANOTHER 2000+ USD just so I could send her back to my sister, so I wouldn't have to give her up.

    In other news, I have a seriously awesome husband. ;) I still miss my baby, though. :'(

    I would have sent the husband home. :)

    In the meantime they're free labor, though. Even better, when they're really little, they think folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher is actually fun :p

    I really want to get a slow cooker or crock pot but it would scare the heck out of me to leave it on for a couple of hours while I'm not in the house. I'd be too afraid that the thing might catch on fire and burn the whole house down. I'm also kind of obsessive over checking if the stove is off at night and if all doors are locked. Once I walked 30 minutes (after already being at the library to study) just to check if I really locked the door to the community center I have the key for because I couldn't remember if I did or not.

    I have the same slow cooker fear. Like how can you leave a burning fire in your house without someone there to keep an eye on it?

    I used to be scared of this and my boss kept telling me it was fine, now I am a little more comfortable. I mostly worry cuz when we are all at work and school, there are fur babies here that would be helpless and I do not think I would ever get over that......

    Yes I have this issue too. My 3 dogs are at home, and they are family. Just thinking about it makes me anxious. I've started using my slow cooker in the evening when I get home to cook for the next day.

    My co-worker in the next cube is sick...she has been coughing up a lung for 2 days. I told her "You shouldn't be here, go home!" but she just shrugged. Why do some people insist on coming to work & pumping out the germs???

    (I don't want to be rude, but sorry, she's one of these quite large unhealthy people that will end up being sick for a month.)

    Maybe I'll turn it into a positive & call in sick on Monday and blame it on her! (Assuming I don't, you know, ACTUALLY GET SICK)

    A lot of businesses are doing this to themselves. For YEARS, everywhere I worked gave me XX vacation days to take when I want, plus X personal holidays to take when I want, and unlimited sick days (salary) so long as I didn't take advantage of it. I always took off when I was sick, got rested, and felt better more quickly.

    For the past 4-5 years, the companies I've worked for have changed to a PTO system. You are given XX PTO days, this encompasses sick days + vacation. I WILL NOT use my PTO for a sick day unless I'm practically on my death bed.

    Where I work, unless you have a doctor's note on the first day you call in, they use your PTO for the first 2 days you are sick. On the 3rd day it's actually considered sick time.

    You can also get with the on staff nurse and if you have a fever, she will recommend the sergeant on duty send you home and it gets counted as sick time for that first day.

    At the end of your time with the company, when you retire, you can take ALL the sick time you didn't use and get extra years towards your retirement.

    Sounds like you do the same thing my youngest son does. I won't say, but I'm pretty sure it's the same career. Oh, and I like your screen name. Very pretty and so is your profile pic!

    The screen name was an idea from my Aunt Lois before she passed away from breast cancer. Cancer is very prevalent in my family, so the company I work for is focused on a cause that is close to my heart. :smile:

    Thank you. :blush: I admire your arms. I hope mine can look like yours someday. :smiley:

    Sorry for your loss, but that was very nice of you to remember her that way.

    Pretty sure getting in a workout after a 16 hour shift will get you the body you want in no time! That's amazing!
  • I hit the 35lb pound loss mark today and I am thinking about celebrating with nachos and cheese!

    I celebrated hitting my goal last summer by going to a Chinese buffet restaurant. I did some extra exercise to meet my calorie goal that day. It was glorious.

    Great job! Not to be all preachy, but maybe celebrate with something non-food related, too? I mean, enjoy your nachos for sure. Just add in something else so that your mind starts to relate health and weight loss to other good things, too. JMHO.

    I absolutely hear what you are saying :) Maybe a long hot bubble bath or a new book!!

    Sounds like a great idea!

    My favorite 'chore' when I was little was sweeping the patio. When my older half sister called CPS on my mom and tried to tell the CPS officer that she was abusive and 'forcing' us to do 'unnecessary labor' and she used my cute little self in nothing but a diaper, sweeping the patio, as an example, the agent laughed. I was 3 and my half sister was 13.

    There's a guy at my gym that is there the same time I am every day and he runs on the treadmill. For the past two weeks he's been doing the same thing: sounds like he's trying to cough up a lung. On the treadmill. Not very smart.

    This time of year, if I saw that, I would assume it's allergies. Whenever the freakin' cottonwood trees start blooming, I'm a mess. Not sick, but you would think I was. Coughing and sneezing...

    I can NOT stop thinking about this in allergy season.

    Exactly mine and my daughter's thoughts right now. (Well, mostly mine, since my almost 3 year old doesn't understand all that...)

    On a completely unrelated topic, I got way too excited yesterday when I found the library at school actually had Frozen on the shelf. Librarian said lots of parents there rent kid's movies as "babysitters" so they can study or do homework, so they keep a supply. Let's just say, Frozen has been on constant loop all morning and I've been able to actually study uninterrupted. Bad mommy....lol

    Well, there are worse babysitters... On that note, I could probably still quote "The Lion King" from beginning to end with or without the movie... We actually wore out the VHS and I bought it again. My daughter and I went and saw it in the theatre a couple years ago when it came to IMAX in 3-D. Still knew all the words...

    Love "The Lion King" lol! At one time, I could quote nearly every line from "Cinderella", god I love that movie. Oh, "Bambi" too!

    I'm so sorry. To me, animals are family so I understand. My senior dog passed suddenly almost 2 years ago and I was absolutely devastated. I still miss the grumpy old guy all the time. <3
  • @81Katz But I bet they get toys and things to occupy their time just like children.

    Lord knows I am getting overtime monies and it will take ALL my willpower to buy ONLY ferret food/supplements and to NOT TOUCH the tubes, mini ball pits, hammocks, and other ferrety enrichment items on my trip to the store...

    Hahaha! Love that!
  • It's a very weird morning up here. Woke up to a snowstorm and a completely different government after over 40 years of the same party in power. Strange days, people.

    Yeah, my daughter has said that if she ever meets a guy who is allergic to her beloved Snowball (kitty), that would be a deal breaker. LOL

    I have 3 cats and a dog. They were part of the package. But, I'm not as attached as most of my friends. I went through a TON of cats and dogs as a kid, raised on a farm. They lived, they died, I was sad, but not all that emotional...
  • #1: I was craving a sweet treat and squeezed some chocolate sauce into my mouth from the bottle. Several times.
    #2: I bought a lot of chocolate at work for my 3 pm wall and ate 2 squares of my Lindt bar. I kept staring at it. Then I put it in the drawer. And then I kept opening my drawer and staring at it. Then I finally stapled it closed. Now I look at it and then go, oh yeah, can't have any!

    BTW - the chocolate powder... I thought everyone did this!!

    I finally bought the Sam's Choice Coffee and Donuts ice cream yesterday and even though I had no calories left, I ate a serving. I regret nothing. Who was it that brought that up? Quiksylver? You're terrible. LOL

    The glaze is the best part:D.

    ...just reading the words "donuts" and "the glaze" is sparking a flashback to this weekend, while with family, when I was offered the last 3 glazed donuts from a recently acquired dozen... the box containing such was presented to me 'out of nowhere' (it was like a 'stealth attack' ;) )... and under previously-normal circumstances, an impromptu presentation of glazed donut wondrousness would have been 'received' as some sort of 'gift from the gods'... ;)

    ...however... and despite being hungry, and not having access to any healthy food at the time (we were all attending a child's sporting event)... and despite my practically 'taste-hallucinating' what those beloved freakin' donuts would treat my tastebuds to... I somehow found the strength to not partake of even one 'torn' piece of one of those dastardly donut delights... and after hearing the words, "no, thanks..." come out of my mouth, I summarily found myself pondering just what words in the English language could come close to 'putting a name to' the defies-description feeling that I found myself experiencing, as those 3 beloved 'glazed circular bits of heaven' were carried away from me...

    (...that moment needed some sort of 'theme music', I swear... (whatever music would be used to accompany a scene in which two former lovers must painfully say, 'not this time', would seem to 'do'... :p))

    I propose "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston (like in The Bodyguard)

    LMAO :)


    (...and how about "Reunited", by Peaches & Herb, for when I *do* indulge... ;) )

    I've taken the liberty to grab a copy of the lyrics, and have made only a few substitutions to this highly apropos duet... ;)

    (Oh, and as luck would have it, the first comment associated with one of the you-know-who-tube videos is the following: "The only singing group sanctioned by the Food & Drug Administration, and The Department of Agriculture" -- ! -- indeed! :p )


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ME
    I was a fool to ever leave your side
    Me minus you is such an unsweet ride
    The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
    I realize I love you 'cause I... want you bad, hey, hey


    DONUT
    I spent the ev'ning with the radio
    Regret the moment that you let me go
    Our parting was such a way of learnin' so much
    I know now that I love you 'cause I... need your touch, hey, hey


    Reunited and it tastes so good
    Reunited 'cause we understood
    There's one perfect fit
    And, sugar (!), this one is it
    We both are so excited 'cause we're... reunited, hey, hey


    DONUT
    I sat here starin' at the same old wall
    Came back to life just when I got your call
    I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
    And give you what you want so you will... still be mine, hey, hey


    ME
    I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
    I found it very hard to stay away
    As we reminisce on precious moments like this
    I'm glad we're back together 'cause I... missed your bliss, hey, hey


    Reunited and it tastes so good
    Reunited 'cause we understood
    There's one perfect fit
    And, *sugar*, this one is it
    We both are so excited 'cause we're... reunited, hey, hey

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Glaze-yyyyyyy


    ME
    Oh, glazed donut, this is solid love
    And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
    All through the day
    And all through the night
    BOTH: I'll give you all the love I have with... all my might, hey, hey


    Reunited and it tastes so good
    Reunited 'cause we understood
    There's one perfect fit
    And, sugar, this one is it
    We both are so excited 'cause we're... reunited, hey, hey
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ;)


    But for now... during our 'time apart' ;)... the following could perhaps serve as a kind of anthem-ic 'theme song' -- "Secret Lovers", by Atlantic Starr... :)

    Oh, and here are the lyrics -- with only one word changed --

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Lyrics

    Here we are, just the two of us together
    Takin' this crazy chance to be all alone
    We both know that we should not be together
    'Cause if we're found out, it could mess up
    Both our happy homes

    I hate to think about us all meetin' up together
    'Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah
    Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
    We can't let 'em know, no, no, no
    We can't leave a trace

    Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
    We shouldn't be together
    But we can't let go, no, no
    'Cause we love each other so
    Ooh…ooh…

    Sittin' at home, I do nothin' all day
    But I think about you and hope that you're okay
    Hopin' you'll call before anyone gets home
    I wait anxiously alone by the phone

    How could something so wrong be so right
    I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
    Livin' two lives just ain't easy at all
    But we gotta hang on in there or fall

    Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
    Tryin' so hard to hide the way we feel
    'Cause we both belong to someone else
    But we can't let go
    'Cause what we feel is, oh, so real
    So real, so real

    You and me, are we fair
    Is this cruel or do we care
    Can they tell what's in our minds
    Maybe they've had secret loves all of the time

    In the middle of tastin' love we notice the time
    We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine
    Even though we hate it, we know it's time that we go
    We gotta be careful so that no one will know

    So real, so real

    LMAO :p
  • #1: I was craving a sweet treat and squeezed some chocolate sauce into my mouth from the bottle. Several times.
    #2: I bought a lot of chocolate at work for my 3 pm wall and ate 2 squares of my Lindt bar. I kept staring at it. Then I put it in the drawer. And then I kept opening my drawer and staring at it. Then I finally stapled it closed. Now I look at it and then go, oh yeah, can't have any!

    BTW - the chocolate powder... I thought everyone did this!!

    That is an amazing idea! I have to keep that in mind.

    I hit the 35lb pound loss mark today and I am thinking about celebrating with nachos and cheese!

    Great job! Not to be all preachy, but maybe celebrate with something non-food related, too? I mean, enjoy your nachos for sure. Just add in something else so that your mind starts to relate health and weight loss to other good things, too. JMHO.

    I absolutely hear what you are saying :) Maybe a long hot bubble bath or a new book!!

    OOH! I do a bubble bath after I have worked a 16 hour shift and STILL got my workout in. Best reward ever! :grin:

    I planned to do a really good workout today and then soak in the tub with some wine and a lush bath bomb. TOM is hitting me so hard that I will only do the bath and wine part though.
