Because I know you ladies pin, a confession...

ggirl2001

OH OH OH, I didn't do the question thing Hike posted today because of work, but I have a favorite quote I want to share, because, well um, I love it, because it pretty much describes me, oh and probably every girl on here  

"She was a real people pleaser. She worried way to much what people thought of her, wore her heart on her sleeve, expected too much from people, and got hurt too easily. She kept other people's secrets like a champ but told her own too fast. She expected the world not to cheat her and was always surprised when it did"

ETA: This pretty much summed me up growing up and such. Too bad, the quote was only written a few years ago. I feel like it sums up teenage adolescence and some of adulthood haha.

haha ggirl you guys are dreamy

I'm making a pintrest inspired lasagne (see my For the Love of Food board)
So far so good
Although I like my own homemade sauce so I'm sticking with that.

Also, can "wax paper" be used as parchment paper? Like.. can it go in the oven? For how much I bake and cook you would think I would know this...

ggirl2001

Goodnight ladies!! 

Man, H and I are so boring haha.

Aww, you like me! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />  And FYI (for everyone), I seriously regretted my intro post when 50 million other people decided they had to do it at the same time. I was just bored and felt like officially introducing myself.

My confession: I'm trying really hard not to be frustrated with FI lately. He's on a det in the middle of nowhere desert and therefore gets crappy cell phone service. I don't know what it is about knowing that he's still in the States that gets me annoyed and frustrated when I can't talk to him, but when he's deployed it doesn't bother me nearly as much.

Also, in response to the many things going on in this thread:
Hike - I'm sorry you're getting frustrated with teaching. My mom has been doing it for years, and she had to take a year (maybe two) off because she just got burned out on it. She's back teaching again now though, and loves it as much as she ever did.

Sami, FTL, CAB, and whoever else thought they were being cranky - I haven't noticed any of y'all seeming overtly biitchy lately. Then again, I typically just let things roll off my back, so unless it was directed specifically at me, I probably wouldn't notice.

Zims - how long have you been on your meds? If it's been a couple months and you haven't seen a difference, you might need to go back to your doctor and see if they can put you on something different.

Cal - I'm sorry you're feeling that way! I know how frustrating it is to not know what you want to do. I hope you find something you enjoy soon, and fingers crossed that your current job gets better!

Rethany

FTL-  I believe you can use wax paper instead.  Maybe just keep an eye on it

I'm feeling really childish and vague, but twice today someone has responded to posts the same exact way I have.  I'm probably the only one to notice, but it's kind of annoying.

Sorry, the doctor-in-training in me is coming out... I just spent 3 weeks doing outpatient clinic for psychiatry, and I saw a LOT of people with depression. If it's been more than 6-8 weeks and you haven't seen an improvement, you most likely need to increase your dose or change to a different med. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk or anything!

H and I don't do romance.. and not just cause he's across the world..

Hmm.. lets see.. I totally agree with you about the Intros & the whole GBCK and then coming back like nothing ever happened.. AHEM.  I also hate it when people just don't get the hint.  I actually think I'd respect some posters more if they'd stop trying to be such people pleaser, or better yet LEAVE for good.  When Irish posted her comment.. I Lol'd..

Irishcurls & PrettyIrish.. we're going to have to agree on some nicknames ladies.  I feel back saying "Irish" meaning one of you, and not the other..

I'm trying to sew an apron, and even though I have a sewing machine, I don't know how to use it and I'm too hyper to sit down and read the instructions so I'm sewing by hand and I've stabbed my fingers like 48 times.

Usually C gets the full brunt of my crankiness (never directed towards her) about things (Okay.. PEOPLE) I can't actually post on TK..

MY BFF totally (Confession: I typed "totes" and then I think I hated myself a little bit because of it) gets on my nerves lately. She married this guy after less than a year.. They started dating in like July or August, and were married (JOP style, no VR plans yet) in April.  They PCS'd in like June, and she biitches about it DAILY.  On top of it she's like 300lbs, and complains about that.  Not to be insensitive or anything, but there is NO REASON to be 300lbs. It's not healthy.  Her H asked her to maybe make some healthier foods and she called me crying because he's 'implying that she's fat"  Umm.. 1st of all.. I rarely use the "f" word with anyone (except myself in my own head), but lets face it.. she is obese.  I told her "Your H is in the military, his career depends on him maintaining certain standards, and you ordering pizza  and fried chicken, and washing it down with sweet tea and whatever baked good you made today, isn't going to help him with that." she bakes all the time (So do I, but I give it away), he pays for her gym membership, but she doesn't ever go..  Now she's putting all kinds of pressure on him to have a baby.. SERIOUSLY?! YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO FEED YOUR MILLION ANIMALS (2 dogs and a cat) GEE! COMMON SENSE WOULD SAY,  LETS ADD A BABY AND ALL THOSE EXPENSES ON TOP OF IT!!!! That makes sense... NOT.

Second confession: I'm tired of being fat, and yet I can't find the motivation to stick to a diet anymore. I hate the way I look, but at the same time I've been the same weight for years so I get this "whatever, it's not going to change" mentality that I just can't shake. Anybody have some motivation you can give???

Substitute FI for H and country for world, and this sounds would fit my relationship.

MelBelle Sometimes other people have to motivate you. I was horrible about the gym until I got into the actually classes (included in mymembership) Now I am addicted. really really addicted. They are tough, but the instructors know you and hold you accountable. So do the other people in the class. It's really great.
Also, food logging motivates me when I slip off the horse. Livestrong.com is my favorite (mentioned before). It's tough, but it'll wake you up to what you're putting in your body and that can really open your eyes.

My confession:  I'm having a really bad week.  In the last 11 days, my car broke down, my toilet broke, a piece of bakeware exploded in the oven (heat-proof by butt), and now my computer isn't working. My FI hasn't actually called me when he said he would, so I've spent the last 3 days sitting at home for three hours just hoping he'd call, only to be disappointed.  I'm trying to be understanding, deployments and all, but damn its hard sometimes. 

Also, how do I find ya'll on pinterest? I have an account, but I have no idea how to find people on there.  When (if) my computer starts to work again, I'd love to follow you guys!  

(Also, sorry for not being that involved.  I read all the postings, but if I feel like I can't contribute anything useful, I usually stay quiet.  You guys seem like such a tight bunch.)

They have counseling services but limit one on one therapy to 8 sessions and there's a long waiting list. I did group therapy last year there and didn't like it. I liked the individual therapy I did second semester more and I loved my therapist but she's not there anymore

AmandaSC1988

Hi Ladies...

I donno what is going on... A confession thread? 

I confess that I don't think I am strong enough to handle a deployment. FI is only supposed to be gone a couple of weeks...and I already really miss him...and I hate ospec because I don't know when he is coming home and I forgot to ask him sbout estimates when I was in Florida.  (well I like ospec because it keeps them all safe... but you know what I mean...) I can send emails, but it really isn't the same...So when he goes for long cruise I really don't know what I will do! Go insane.  

firemedicrr

confession: Totally guilty of posting an intro then not being very active, but that's because 1)I felt like there wasn't much I had to comment on at the time (at least with nice comments; been in a b#ch mood recently myself) and more importantly 2) FI was visiting this weekend!! In a better mood now

I also confess that I have every intention of posting a thread with some pics from our weekend hiking on parkway... it's gorgeous out!

I was really upset because our photog had to cancel for our engagement pics, but she referred us to a friend who is equally awesome who is giving us a discount for the referral, so yay!

I confess also that I hate it when people comment about me being too thin, but because people notice my weight I am driven to be obsessive about it. I like the size I am now, but I don't want to get bigger (unless it's muscle) so when I can't work out, I don't like to eat. I make myself, but I think I'm overly obsessive about it now just because EVERYBODY has SOMETHING to say about me being too thin. I AM NOT TOO THIN, K?! thanks. -end rant-

Nah, you're cool too. See, I remember you because you were more active then some of the other intro posters. I told you that I hated you or something (jokingly) because you were a size 0, right? There are like so many other intro posts in where they just disappeared after the first post. That's so annoying. Also, you have a very valid reason for not being around too much this weekend!

firemedicrr

aw, thanks CAB Yes, you hate me for being a size 0, and apparently everyone else on the planet does too...

I mean, really... even if I did think someone had cancer or was anorexic, I'm not sure I'd walk up to them and be like "Ohmigawd, you're so thin! do you have cancer" or whatever..... I mean sure, say that you hate me because you WANT to be my size, but just because you're a lard@ss that won't get up and move or eat less doesn't mean you should ask me if I'm sickly. I don't think I LOOK sick.

k, so maybe that's the end of my rant...

but seriously, I really love it on here; and I will stick around and post when I have stuff to say, but there are some things where I just don't feel like I have much to add to.

firsttimersluck

Matcha- MAN that's a rough week. I'm so sorry girl
So many bad things have happened now so it can only get better right?

Amanda- You can. The first month of deployment is the hardest, but when you get a routine in without him it'll fly. You CAN I promise. I always miss H TERRIBLY on the small dets because it's not enough time to get a full routine on my own so it's easier to miss the man than when I'm doin my own thing for 7 months. OPSEC sucks I think we will all agree with that, however the logic may be

haha firemed
No worries... I don't think you count on that one Yay for fi being home for the weekend! That's excited
You do sound a little obsessive with the whole eating/working out thing. Keep in mind that your calculated suggested caloric intake is for when you AREN'T busting your butt at the gym. It's the calories that you need just for being awake and walking around the house. Don't ruin your metabolism!!!

This board is weirding me out with how active it is... I have so many threads I have to go check on... crazyness.

calindi

Yeah, Fire, I agree - size totally aside, if you're thinking obsessively about balancing eating and working out to the point that you're either a) not eating (or thinking about it even) if you aren't working out or b) working out obsessively to counter the calories you have intaken, then you might need to see someone about that.  It's not healthy thinking.  As FTL said,  your body needs calories.  I'm all about eating healthy and trying to maximize nutrients while minimizing unnecessary and unhelpful foods (like grains, sugars, salt, etc.) but not to the point where it's tied directly to the amount you exercise.  I'm glad you realize that you DO have to eat even when you feel like you shouldn't.  It's a shame that people commenting on your weight has made you more obsessive about it - people focus entirely too much on weight and not enough about health.  I mean, there's really no one who is healthy at 300 pounds or 60 pounds, but everyone's body is different.  I would be sickly if I was less than 110 pounds, and if I had muscle tone I would have to be at least 120 (size 4).  Right now, I'm nearly 150 (size 10), so I'm not so thrilled with that.  I think I'd be very happy and comfortable around 130-135 (size 6-8).  But that's just MY body!
