FFFC!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC!
You aren't a failure! It is a lot harder for some people to lose weight. Try talking to a doctor about your options, maybe there is a less dramatic way than surgury you could try first? Or maybe surgury is what you need.
Also, it sounds like your two confessions are linked. Perhaps you are being too hard on yourself, and not feeling confident with DH?
Most days, Lyla doesn't get out of her pajamas.
Hugs. I have struggled with weight issues my whole life and am currently 100 pounds overweight. I have seriously considered lap-band but dont yet the courage to see a doctor about it. I have tried WW, NutriSystem, Atkins, South Beach. I always lose weight and then gain it all back and more. Its incredibly depressing. I wish you all the best in this endeavor and hope I can get somewhere in mine.
If we get dressed in the morning DS asks where we are going since most days we all lounge around in our PJs.
When Lily wakes up in the middle of the night I tell DH I have to pee so he changes her diaper. Every time. Even if I don't need to pee. I just hate changing diapers in our room because my back hurts bending over like that.
It does. I just don't understand why its so hard to just wait until you get home. 30 minute drive is NOT that long. Pay attention and get off your phone. And if you won't, then at least don't do it while your child is in the car. For heavens sake, don't put your sweet daughter in danger.
H and I got married when dd was 20 months old. We found out I was pregnant after we had been together for a little over year and we had already discussed getting married. We made the best decision for us in waiting.
You are putting the lives of yourself, your child and innocent people at great risk by doing this. Texting and driving is as dangerous as drinking and driving. The Bump isn't worth you killing yourself, your child or someone else. Sorry, but I'm pretty passionate about this sort of thing....I nearly lost my life due to a drunk driver and texting is no different.
A big FU right back for not putting your daughters safety first. Not to mention all the other innocent drivers on the road.
My FFFC is that I really don't want to wash the sheets of the guest bed... My mom will be using it and she was the last one to use it so it isn't that bad. If there wasn't cat hair on it I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be washing it today.
How Stuff Works has great free podcasts, and so does NPR. They are my preferred car boredom avoidance method.
I leave her in her PJs until she spits up on them or if it was cool that night and I had her in something warmer but it's too hot the next day. Or if we are going to someone's house. I change her into something cute.
Also what drives me crazy is when people are at stop lights and do not go because they are messing with their phones so much.
Harsh! But I really thought that our shared love of Jon Bon Jovi was why I loved you but I think it is this...
DS gets changed into a onesie because we keep it warm at night. He also wears a lot of rompers, and I don't like him sleeping in those.
I'm up 100 pounds since I met DH as well and I just hate it! I've looked into surgery as well, though I would prefer not to. Hugs to you!
It wasn't easy, trust me. We had people asking all the time when we were going to do it. J's dad was pretty mad for a bit that we kept it quiet, but it was important to me to wait until my parents were here. He's a bit selfish and was offended that he wasn't let in on the secret. But he got over it.
Thanks for putting everyone on the road in danger. How considerate of you... hope you aren't too bored when you cause an accident!
Heres an FU right back, my friend was seriously injured in a car accident by someone who was texting and driving, he claimed he did it all the time and nothing happened. She suffered a broken pelvis, two shattered legs, and had to have reconstructive surgery on her legs and face. What would you do if you did that to someone and injured them or even worse, yourself or your daughter? Think before you act.
I just hope that when you eventually crash from this, you are alone in the car and you don't take anyone else out with you.
I have a 30 minute commute. I listen to talk radio. It is really not that long of a commute.
A15 January Siggy Challenge-
We went on honeymoon to Panama City!
(the one in the country of Panama though not in Florida)
My confession is that when we were getting married, I used to lurk on the Knot. I used to take guesses as to how long the marriages would last. I wish I could remember their usernames so I could search and see if I was right.
You know, I have been very frustrated by my slow weight loss, too. I know that I can lose it faster if I cut more calories, but then yes, there could be supply issues.
I found out that for most women, 1800 calories/day is the magic number for good supply. I have since then been trying to get exactly 1800 calories through nutrient-dense foods--lots of orange fruits, greens, brown rice, etc. My calorie counts end up being numbers like 1832, 1795, 1810, etc and...the pounds are finally coming off faster, and my supply is still great! I am losing 3 lbs/week instead of losing 1 or staying the same.
Maybe that number is different for you, but if you can find it, you'll probably feel better and less conflicted. I hope you find something that works for you either way!
Yikes. I think we can all agree (including myself) that what MrsGreen does is dangerous, as she herself admitted...but c'mon now, do we really need to name call? A lot of what people say on here is controversial, but it's supposed to be "flame-free." She knows that it's wrong, came on here to confess. I think the FFFC we have now is going to discourage people from actually confessing things like we used to if people are going to flame like we have been lately. I know people are going to disagree with me, and probably flame me as well for this, but I don't think attacking her like this is necessary. Maybe PM her if you take a personal issue with it? IDK...
I used to text and drive. I would hold my phone up so my eyes were always still facing the road, not down. It was always fine until one time. I was pregnant, going 55mph, looked down for just a sec and the car in front of me stopped to turn left but had to stop for oncoming traffic. I had to swerve out into the grass to miss them. 100% my fault. Luckily there were no mailboxes or poles or a deep ditch there.
I never ever do it now unless I am stopped at a light, pull over, or am stopped at a stop sign and no one is behind me. I will not do it while the car is in motion. That scared the craps out of me.
*Gets popcorn for 2nd round* lolol

Second, third, fourth, whatever the FU. I stopped to reply when I saw your first post and the second one makes me even sicker.
I agree with you Chelsey. I know FF isn't a rule that you will be punished or fined for breaking, but it is supposed to be that way. I think it's one thing to state your disagreement but another to name call and "flame."
But I understand where they are coming from. It is dangerous and wrong.
I post this stuff, but it's because I have zero mommy friends IRL. It's not so much that I hope you care about my kid in particular, its more that bumpies will understand the emotional side of all these things. Especially for a FTM, I just want to talk to those that have been through it. Plus, I don't really pay attention to these posts until its my turn, so I need to get the information again.

Yes, in this case, I think it is warranted. In fact, I think she deserves a whole lot worse than what I called her. This is so much worse than blowing your DH while nursing. She is willingly and knowingly putting her life, her child's life, and the lives of everyone else on the road in danger because she's bored. Would you be saying the same thing if she hit you and killed your child? She could KILL someone doing this. So no, I'm not going to sit by and hold her hand and sing kumbaya with her. This is an issue that I will not back down on, not when it is my kids' saftey in question.
