[QUOTE]When I was like 13, my mom made me mow the lawn. I did it in a bikini and my dad has never allowed me to do it since.
Posted by Narwhal[/QUOTE]

Did you do this on purpose? I find it funny.

I confess that I am scared I will never have a successful career.

I also confess that although having children soon is not in the plan I kind of want to because FI wants me to be a SAHM and it would get me out of this job that I despise so much.

I confess that I am usually frequently worried about something bad happening to me or those close to me.

I confess that I wish I could stand up for myself to more people.

I confess that I wish I had much much better self esteem.

I confess that most of my jobs have just fallen in my lab and I usually haven't had to try overly had to get a job.

I confess that I feel bad for FI that I am so incredibly bad with doing my hair and make-up.

Narwhal · July 2010

Haha yeah, I did it on purpose. I knew my dad wouldn't let me do it again if I did that.

This too, I usually straighten my hair twice and week. The other 5 days it is in a curly and wild pony or bun.

THIS.

Although I have used them and know how, I really, REALLY hate mowing the lawn. Makes me itchy and sneezy for HOURS, even if I take allergy medicine before doing it and shower right afterward. I'm apparently very allergic to grass.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

rickylee244 · July 2010

Thanks ladies for the support... I know it will be fine, just another stress.

Oh and I confess that I would rather be home right now playing with my puppy then sitting here at my desk waiting for a meeting.

Shoot. I blow dry my hair maybe once every week and will straighten or curl it for special occasions only.

For work I wake up, put contacts in, shower, brush teeth, comb hair then put tinted moisturizer on face and curl eyelashe, a quick spray of body spray and then I'm out the door... well I put on clothes too, but yeah thats it! My hair ends up in a low ponytail or bun 95% of the time. BF likes the low maintenance that I am and appreciates when I do a little more for special occasions.

loopy82 · July 2010

I really only started feeling bad for FI after my make-up trial and he absolutely loved it. I feel bad knowing I could never in a million years duplicate that eye make-up.

PaigeMcC · July 2010

*small voice* I straighten my hair almost every day. But that's b/c it's too short to go up and not long enough to do much else with...yet.

ekathleen684 · July 2010

I used to chop my hair off becuase I figured I'd do it every day since it would be so much easier...that never happened so I just keep it long now.

Your FI loves you because you're YOU, not because of how you can or can't do your hair or make up!

[QUOTE]I confess I have severe body image issues and I can't talk to anyone about them because I get the side-eye and I can just see their minds thinking 'She's thin she can't be concerned about the way she looks' Apparently I have a lot to confess today
Posted by sapphirebaby926[/QUOTE]

Ditto on all accounts.

I also confess that I it pisses me off when people get annoyed when they hear this. Thin =/= happy for everyone. I'm allowed to dislike myself just as much as anyone else.

I also get annoyed when people think that just because I don't like the way I look, it means that I think everyone who is not my size looks bad. It's not true. It would be ridiculous to think that everyone looked their best at the same size.

Loopy - I also worry about bad things happening to my family all the time. It makes me really sad because I know I can't possibly be living a "normal", full life if I'm constantly afraid. We should work on it.

GreenPepperBurger · July 2010

I straighten my hair constantly. If I don't, it's a frizzy mess. At the very least, my bangs have to be straight.

Oh, and as for the worrying about family, it's amazing I ever get anything done. I constantly have to remind myself to enjoy what's going on around me instead of being constantly nervous and afraid.

Acrosthec · July 2010

I confess that I hate my job and have spent a good portion of today reading up on teacher certification here in Georgia. I know teachers aren't really being hired either, but it's something to do besides law work, and all my friends who are teachers LOVE it (the same cannot be said for my lawyer friends).

I confess that I want to move. I am terrified I've spent the last 5 years preparing for and participating in a career where I will never advance because there are no job openings in the town where we live, and FI refuses to move even though I'm miserable here. I like the town itself, but the job prospects are NIL, and I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels and not getting anywhere. :-(

desertsun · July 2010

I confess that I'm 5'4", 145 pounds, a size 10, and I have a tummy that pooches out above my pants when I sit down, aka muffin top. I'm a little jiggly all over.

But I work out regularly and try to eat healthy 85% of the time.

I changed up my workouts a couple months ago, and have gained muscle, dropped a couple inches, and feel so much stronger and more energetic and better about myself, that I'm going to say the hell with it and wear a bikini on my HM despite the persistent jiggly parts.

I'm slowly learning to love my strong, curvy body as much as my FI does.

oceana919 · July 2010

Ricky - I could bribe you with mini cheesecakes and cookies and treats in order for you to study...

leia1979 · July 2010

I confess I get annoyed with BFs friend when all she talks about is her wedding. I try to be nice and listen, but the voice in my head says "Enough already!"

For the ladies concerned about getting jobs at 25 and 27, you're not the only one. I got my first full time job at 25 (it was supposed to be an internship, but I was out of school too long). Five years later, I'm doing well and make more than BF who's been working three or four years longer. Just keep at it.

**Mutley** · July 2010

I confess that I am not scared about having a baby, and it annoys the crap out of me when people cannot understand why not. Not EVERYONE freaks out about having their first child. It also doesn't mean that I think it is going to be a cakewalk. I know that it will be challenging. I know that there will be sleepless nights. I know that there will be times where we feel like we don't know what we're doing. And guess what, IT DOESN'T SCARE ME. I am too freaking excited to be scared.

I confess that I AM scared about my body image post-baby. I do not want to become unhealthy, and feel like breastfeeding is the only thing that will keep me on track.

I confess that I'm scared I won't be able to breastfeed when I have a baby because I was allergic to every kind of milk when I was a baby. I couldn't even have formula it was so bad

I was the same way, having been around a lot of kids and babies, been a nanny and worked at a daycare I wasn't scared at all. People didn't believe me though... everyone thinks babies are terrifying for some reason.

BCRockies · July 2010

I confess that I'm disappointed that BF is staying home tonight instead of going camping/hiking/snowboarding with his friends. I was hoping that I wouldn't have anyone home all weekend when I get off my night shifts so I can sleep as long as I want. BF tends to wake me up at noon when I get off at 7 am.

Also, I'm not too happy with one of my best friends. She lives in Ontario so we only see each other once a year (if that) when I visit family. I try and email her on a consistent basis but she only responds once I email a couple of times. She has yet to pick up the phone and call me since I moved to BC 5 years ago. Her last email did strike a nerve as she told me that I should be settling down and not thinking about adventures. I assume it may just be a bit of jealousy but it hurt.

She was quite angry with me for not seeing her when I went to Ontario a couple of weeks ago. I made it a 'family only' vacation as my grandpa had just been moved out of his home and into a care facility as his Alzheimer's had declined too much for my grandma to continue caring for him. This was a huge adjustment for my entire family as originally I was supposed to be in Ontario to celebrate their 60th anniversary. It had to be cancelled the day before I flew there. I think it hurt more that she couldn't understand that I needed this time to be for family only.

Narwhal · July 2010

I confess that if my phone doesn't start sending my messages like its supposed to, I might chunk it across the room.

I also confess that chunk is my least favorite word.

I confess that I haven't even put on pants yet today. I've been laying on the couch feeling sorry for myself for laying on the couch.

LUCKY!!

zipis1 · July 2010

I confess that I am just baffled as to why, when I hand BF something of his to put away somewhere, he takes it and puts it on another table/box/the couch/chair, leaving us to find it again in ten minutes. Then the cycle repeats. He's lucky that he does very little else to annoy me, cuz seriously. WTF?

I confess that I'm also annoyed at how slow my school is at getting diplomas out to graduates. I'd like to be able to apply for jobs now without worrying about that I may not have actually graduated.

I confess that I'm probably going to eat another bit of the raspberry Enteman's coffee cake BF bought. I have already had some today, but it's so good!

Goldlie11 · July 2010

I confess that I'm scared that I'm not going to be able to get back into running like I did when I was younger. I just started couch to 5K and it's hard for me to even run for 1 minute straight

noelle24 · July 2010

You can do it Goldlie! I love that program. I started in Feb, and could barely run for a minute at a time without wanting to die. I just finished a half marathon and now love running. You'll get there... especially if you already know you CAN be a runner.

Thanks! I'm definitely going to keep at it. I just got fitted for new running shoes. What a difference the right shoes make! I'm mostly embarrassed that I let myself get so out of shape. <div>

noelle24 · July 2010

I hear ya. And I loved getting fitted for new shoes, although it's always a struggle for me. My biomechanics are weird, which makes getting the right shoe more difficult.

loves2shop4shoes · July 2010

Oh boy, confessions.

Let's see...I confess that I'm not 100% satisfied with my sex life. I wish BF and I did it more. I know he does too, it's just that we are so busy/tired all the time, that we're only doing it twice-ish a week.

I confess that during college, I put on 30 pounds. Before that, I used to think of myself as really beautiful. But since my weight gain, I don't feel beautiful or feminine, even though BF is so sweet about it & tells me I AM beautiful. I wear clothes that mostly hide my body. I went from being 5'4 around 140 (but I carried it well, my legs were all muscle from gymnastics) to being 5'4 173. I have been dieting/exercising for the last 2 1/2 weeks now and am down to 165.5. I'm afraid that it'll never ALL come off & I'll never look as good as I once did.

I confess that I too am ALWAYS afraid of losing someone that is close to me. I think the hardest part about dating BF is that he's human...and one day, he will die. It's hard to know that everyone you care about will die one day. It really scares me.

Confessions!
