[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions? : Yeah that can be pricey. You should check out bodyrock.tv. They're short workouts that you can do in your living room. It's high intensity stuff but it only takes 12 minutes. And it's free! I'm doing it with a friend right now. You could do that at home with your FI goes to the gym.

Oh, I will check that out.  I can probably get into a really short and at home workout.

[QUOTE]You didn't hear? In order to look professional, women must have long, straight hair, a full face of make up, and must wear heels. At least, that's what I've picked up in my time on TK. I much prefer AATB's stance.

[QUOTE] My confession is I'm really annoyed with H for calling into work tonight. Mainly because he's not really sick, just tired and a little sore, but also because now I'm not going to my book club because I feel like I should stick with him since he works nights and we're rarely home in the evening together.

My H seems to be stuck (fashion wise) in another decade.  Thankfully no jorts but I can't get that man to buy new jeans (non-tapered or carpenter) to save my life.  I bought him a pair of dark wash, straight leg Levi's and he won't wear them.

I put in curl cream, mousse, comb it back, then part it and comb it down, the scrunch it and twist certain bits around my fingers, air dry and then fluff once it isn't wet anymore.

My sex drive has been about zero lately, and I'm pretty sure it's directly tied to my weight.  I can't get myself to work out besides doing yoga a couple times a week, and my month of unlimited classes will be over soon.  I'm constantly disgusted with myself when I look in the mirror, but I don't do anything about it.

There's sometimes equipment she uses that I don't have, so you have to improvise sometimes, but it's totally doable. Don't let her giant boobs scare you off. :) And also, it seems a lot of people think "being motivated" means you have to love working out. I work out every day, and usually, I hate it. I feel great afterwards but I don't look forward to it. You just quit thinking about it so much and do it. Quit making excuses, you can fit 12 damn minutes into your day! Ok I'm done with my pep talk now. :)

Nicole- your pep talk is working

I guess the excuse of "well, I don't want to lose weight now because my dress fits just right" is pretty much BS anyway.

At my old job, we got a monthly "bonus" that was to have our hair trimmed/dyed/highlighted whatever, weekly manicures and the expense of our make up. We had to wear make up and our nails had to be one of 7 approved "professional" colors. I didn't really give a shiiit because they paid for it, but it was a little ridiculous. One of our sales reps won a boob job at our Christmas party. 

michellesean

I'm more grossed out when I see grown men picking their noses and then eating it.  Went dress shopping with my mom, godmother and cousin and we all turned to the car next to us on our way to an appt and caught this really attractive guy driving a siiiick car pick his nose and then eat it.  We made such a big fuss that he looked over to our car and knows we caught him.  Oh well, dont eat your effin boogers. 

KateJ10

Dmills- what type of work was your old job? my jaw dropped- I have never heard of anything like that before.

DMill, where the hell did you work?

Adamar, most of my life, I was pretty thin and athletic. In my head, I still am. When I walk by a mirror, I am disgusted. I keep thinking I'm a size two, but then I see myself and think, "WTF happened to you, fatty?"

I don't understand why so many men actually WANT to wear tapered leg jeans.

Noted- I will look into this tonight as well. 

I've also thought about doing the wii fit thing but I've heard opposing reviews and I don't want to waste the money if it's going to suck.

Girlie1030

Holy shlt Dmill, WTF did you work?  Playboy?

Adamar, I completely relate.

LDYGTR13

My jeans didn't fit this morning Granted, even at my smallest in recent months they were never loose, but yeah. That stung.

And I can't seem to force myself to get up in the morning to run and I can't force myself to go out in the sweltering heat to run after work. 

I'm a failure!

NicoleSahara

dmiller, my jaw dropped at your story too, mainly the boob job part! Guys PLEASE tell me none of you eats your boogers. There are seriously adults that do that??

Nebb

Anyone who eats their boogers is fucking repulsive. That's worse than the towel method. Fucking BARF!

Blueyed228

If we are talking drawers, I confess that I prefer not to wear them.

It hasnt been possible the last few months with treatments and bleeding and stuff, but whenever I can, I prefer not to.

dmiller9274

I worked for a staffing firm/head hunter. All of the management and sales reps (everyone that had to be out visiting clients) had these requirements. We were told that if our meetings were scheduled with a man, a skirt would be preferred but not required. The owner of the company would often joke "do whatever it takes to close the deal, even if you have to sleep with them." She'd laugh like she was kidding, but I'm not so sure lol

specialk84

Last year, a woman in one of my classes was sitting there, picking her nose, then eating it. She was in the front row. I was sitting at a desk facing the center rows, and I saw the whole thing. I shudder just thinking about it.

brandichamberlain

I remembered the confession I thought about earlier-

I am secretly so thankful that I don't have periods.  I see people on here comment about how awful they are, and frankly, they gross me out (probably because I've never had one). The infertility part sucks, but overall, it's worth it since we're not sure we'll have children and child birth scares me to death.

In Response to Re:Confessions?:[QUOTE]I hate when people seem to think that women with curly hair need to straighten their hair. nbsp;Or that everyone looks better with straight hair. Or that women with straight hair should flat iron it every morning to make it straighter. nbsp;It's ridiculous. nbsp;ETA, I totally wish I got a makeup bonus! Posted by djhar[/QUOTE]
Straight hair isn't the be all and end all. Also? Those curls you see on tv, that aint real. Bring back real curls!

<div>I have not had a period in nearly six years (thank you Mirena), and I don't ever want another one. When this IUD has run its course, I believe I'll get myself fixed. H and I do not want children, and my doctors have said pregnancy will be quite hazardous to my health. </div>

Girlie1030

I would have been fired immediately from that job Dmill.  And I don't understand H's attachment to tapered jeans either but what can I do?  I just focus on the cute toosh and try to ignore the rest. 

Special, that's disgusting.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Don't feel like a failure LDY, that's why they call it a weight loss JOURNEY - and there will be hiccups and bumps in the road.  You know you can do it.  Plus not everyone can feel totally motivated to work out all the time.
