FFFC- Flame Free Friday Confessions ! 3/13

MrsWiggleWaggle

alright! It's time to 'fess up ladies!

Here's mine, I hate/love stalk other pregnant friends on Facebook and I secretly love that it I'm handling the whole weight/body image thing and all the symptoms much better. I know, it's unkind.

I just ate an entire fruit by the foot in bed and have no guilt about it. I feel no guilt about my poor diet choices.

I've been stalking back thru the March, February, January boards birth announcements to see if anybody has named their kid with the names we like. Completely guilty of name hoarding and jealousy

I pretended not to notice the blue cheese in my pasta salad the other day. Sooooo gooooood.

I'm having a burger for dinner two nights in a row. Last night was just a Wendy's Baconator, tonight I'm meeting a friend at some kind of gastropub place known for its burgers. No shame, here.

Oh dear, I hadn't thought of this! 

*Off to creep*

My FFFC is that my husband hates that I will nickname our daughter Cady but I'm going to do it anyway. I have to carry her for 9/10 months and (probably) push her out, I get to call her whatever the hell I want!

This may be more of an UO, but my confession is that I think some people are overly dramatic about taking the drink for the glucose test and it's annoying, and I've been rolling my eyes at the 'drama' surrounding the drink/test. The drink and it's sugar content is no worse that some bottles of soda. I understand that some people have legit issues-hypoglycemia or whatever, but please. Just drink the damn drink and move on. It's not going to kill you and it's not going to 'poison' you.

I haven't been able to post on the "healthy snacks" thread because I turn all of my healthy choices into junk. I dip my apple slices in caramel, I add crushed up candy bars to my yogurt and have been eating baked potatoes (loaded) like they're going out of style for a week now.

Last night I was craving a strawberry shake, so I stopped by McDonald's. Since I hadn't had dinner yet, I got nuggets and fries too. It was absolutely heavenly. Then, today, when I learned that I had passed my glucose test, I went straight to the grocery store for potato chips and ice cream. 

Clearly eating healthy is not going to happen today! I'll go back to my fruits and veggies tomorrow

I was lurking on on other boards...and I really like what we have going on here in June 15.

Oh, and also, I failed my one hour glucose test - @FloGirl82 is right, it doesn't taste terrible. And then they stick you, no big deal. Anyways, I failed my one hour test yesterday and waited till DH left for his part time job, then had some girl scout cookies to soften the blow and become optimistic about the 3 hour one next week

That stinks! I hope the one next week goes better!

Same here!! I failed by 6 points and I have to take my 3 Hour next Friday. Let's hope we both pass. I'm just worried about being bored the whole time-I'm bringing my tablet and will watch a movie while I wait. I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Best of luck to you!

I get annoyed when people freak out when someone on here mentions they are having a sprinkle... Like first of all who cares it has nothing to do with you and in some families/ areas it is common and acceptable.... I don't mind when people weigh in on proper etiquette for them (like don't expect one and don't register) but having one is really not the end of the world! I wonder if people are just jealous that no one is having something for them....

KaLikeAWind

@karaelaine1991 @FloGirl82 I'm not too worried about it. I went in knowing the statistics seemed to be like 50% of women fail the 1st time (at least my unofficial statistics from reading our thread on it for 1st timers, and some actual statistics I read somewhere else on the 3 hour) and 85% who go back pass, so while I didn't tempt fate by eating a sugary breakfast or anything, I didn't really think I would pass. Just, yes, it will be boring. Glad I like to read. And I have to fast. I'll be starving. That sucks. Oh well

I agree, I would NEVER host one for myself, just like I would NEVER host my own shower, but my SIL has already told me that if/when I have another baby, she wants to host a sprinkle since she's not able to host a shower this time around. It's completely unnecessary for her to do that, but I so appreciate that she cares enough to do something like that for me and my family. If the time comes and she offers, I'll gladly take her up on it!

I had to unfollow (not unfriend a friend ofn FB, because all she does is post about her daughter's "bad behavior". I just want to scream at her that it is all your fault...if you don't like it you can change it (it is stuff she could totally control if she wanted to, not todler develepment behavior stuff).

devyns2nd

I ate my husbands leftovers today. Its a meal I don't make often and it's everyone's favorite. He saved some of his because his stomach was upset and I just ate all of it. In my defense it was made two nights ago and my feet are so swollen I didn't feel like cooking lunch.

...I also finished off the salsa I was saving for his daughter that's in college but, you can't have taquitos without salsa.

I did my undergrad and grad work at the University of Illinois. My husband went to Iowa State. I've been rooting for Iowa State in basketball this year and not paying attention to the Illini (hangs head in shame).

Don't worry! We're Hawkeyes by since they lost to Penn State we have to cheer for the Cyclones. Lol

rrcameron21

I blame like 75% of my farts on my dog. Sometimes they are just so bad I can't claim them!

frankengibbs

I like watching DH pull off his nicotine patches at the end of the day because it's like a mini waxing and he's been acting like a whiney bitch...I'm such a mean wife.

Go Clones-woot!! It's the sweatshirt I'm wearing in my profile photo.

I have zero patience for 90% of the threads on here lately. Basically if your question can be answered by Google or Amazon reviews, I am side-eying you. Same for your #firstworldproblems drama. About five of you are my BFFs.

So apparently I am a hormonal Internet creep. Time for dinner.

finchfeeder80

I hate that people scapegoat hormones on everything. (I saw what you did there, @amark11   ) Hormones are not your get out of jail free card. If you acted like a crazy bitch and offloaded your bad day on your husband, own it and apologize for being a jerk.I'm more prone to tears these days, and I can feel things irritate me more than they should, but with the exception of maybe being a little too quick to blast my horn at other drivers, I don't treat people like crap. I at least wait till I get home and trash talk my co-workers or whatever to the hubs. Because I'm an adult and in control of my response to other people/things, not my magical hormones.

Also, I just sat here at my desk and ate two spoonfuls of White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter at my desk straight out of the jar.

I was JUST thinking that. I cannot take the people posting a separate thread for a topic that can clearly go someplace else. "Help i'm not gaining weight" when we've have 49058329083 threads about how much weight people have gained lately. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR FOR CRAP'S SAKE!!!! Or now we have several last name posts... and middle name posts. I. Just. CANNOT.

I think im turning into a hormonal monster but im on the verge of angry gif-ing and being a total old school "meanie"

Oh me too! I have nothing to share ... My diet is terrible but awesome. Shamrock shakes and Five Guys burgers. And donuts.

Confession: On the UO thread yesterday a few folks expressed that the board was starting to feel overregulated. I know I'm a big instigator of the "lets get this board organized" movement, and I took it a bit personally, so after those comments I decided to pull back a bit , not start any daily or weekly threads just to see what might happen.

Although I am guilty of asking for registry advice which might be the "amazon reviews" reference @Amark11 is making. Mea culpa if that's not cool! I am doing tons of online research but trying to pair with actual insight from you nice ladies that I've been with since October

ElRuby

How do we make the "wahhhh I am so skinny" posts STOP!?!?!!!!!!!!! Yay exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!

virginiaunicorn11

@hoodoll82 naw, you're one of my BFFs. (@finchfeeder80, too, even though/especially because she calls me out on my $h*t). I missed the name change somehow, but since we're tight, I still know it's you. Besides, I'm one of the jerks who doesn't mind weight talk. We've all got our thing. My MO in life is just try to be sure I'm a net positive impact, despite my significant flaws.

The board is over-regulated?! The daily/weekly threads are my favorite actually. I'm reading fewer of the others...

HoosOnFirst

@amark11 Yeah this site is super wonky. This is my "original" user name, which I changed about a month ago when the site started doing crazy things - like that one day it posted my real name! Then a few days ago it changed back on me to the old old name. I even logged directly into the Bump site and it won't let me change anything anymore. Soooo many bugs on this site... But I kept the names similar (starts with "Hoo", a nod to my alma mater) so I think I'm still recognizable!

Mommaswizz

@hoodoll82 I read that comment yesterday and didn't understand. I love the organization. I think it was keeping a lot of the redundancy to a minimum and it definitely encouraged people to stop reposting the same questions in 10 different threads. Don't let the anti- organizers get you down!

mrskilcrease

I totally swore I'd stay off caffeine and junk food. I caved... I definitely don't stay off junk food and I don't feel guilty, but I feel guilty about the caffeine Lol!

For now I'm just grabbing some virtual popcorn and watching the shit go down today... Name threads and weight threads, oh my... I'm enjoying the snark tonight!

I've noticed the weight ones get alot of attention today. Haha entertainment

@amark11, I'm glad you haven't taken anything I've said harshly. And today I was totally thinking you were saying the hormonal thing sarcastically. After spending some time reading a few other boards, especially the hot mes first tri board, the people blaming hormones thing was fresh on my nerves. Your comment played right to my confession of the moment.

I'm one of the old meanies and sometimes I just gotta call it straight. Very rarely do I ever say anything in mean spirits. I may be grumpy at times but I'm not a jerk just to be a jerk.

Wow, and this is what happens when it's past my bedtime at the end of a long week: emotional diarrhea. :-)

Mommaswizz

I miss the old meanies. Can we recruite some to come back to take care of some of the snowflakes on this board?? I wasn't gonna touch the "wah I'm skinny" thread floating around and I just full on lit that shit on fire. I cannot take the special snowflakes. Winter is almost over, time to melt these dipsticks.

I found out my husband recently had an affair and ended my marriage today.
