FFFC

Flame-free Friday confessional. 

What do you need to get off your chest today? 

My confession: I slept like crap last night, I can't stop coughing, and I forgot to put on eye makeup this morning, therefore I look like death. As a result, I am sitting in front of my class right now while my students work quietly, and I'm bumping way too much. I'm still helping them, but not as much as I should be... Good thing my lessons included an independent work day today.

  • I told my boss I wasn't feeling well, so I needed to work from home. I really am just keeping up on emails while cleaning my house, in-laws coming to visit this weekend... in my defense, my back DOES hurt...
  • I feel like poo today. Last night SO and I were talking about me giving a set date for leaving work instead of going until I give birth. I said I think a week out may be perfect but I may change my mind to more. I'm exhausted and over these 9 hour shifts.

    I kind of enjoy reading rant post and I don't know why exactly. Also I really want a Baja Blast, pizza, and a frosty. All of which are bad for me and probably worse for baby
  • I'm starting to lose what little filter I had. I've always been outspoken and pretty blunt, but I know when to leave well enough alone and when to just shut up. Lately though I just don't care. Especially with my manager at work. He's always been pretty obviously sexist. He never says anything to a male on our team about goofing off or being off task, he even stands around and talks with them. The minute he catches a female doing that he's demanding us to get back to work or clock out for a break. He only calls attention to mistakes females make not the males. It seems like that has gotten worse since I got pregnant he comes down harder on me than he does anyone else and has thrown me under the bus for his mistakes multiple times and tried to get me written up for said mistakes. At this point its all I can do to hold my tongue and not go off on him. 5 more days...

    Why do you all hide your naughty foods? Are your husband's dieting or did you agree to a certain diet?
    I'm just curious cause my hubby fully supports my naughty food cravings and goes and gets the bad foods for me. Which makes my mouth and soul happy but causes my scale to weep :( Fortunately for me I can't see passed my belly to read what my weight is! :) If you can't see it, it doesn't count right? ;)

    Haha me too! I don't like feeling guilty over food so I always tell him if I was naughty. He just laughs at me. And he will totally grab me something yummy if I have a craving. We have eaten McDonald's twice this pregnancy and that is a big deal in my house!!

    My hubby always goes off on tangents about dieting and exercising and all that but he's always there first to crack and stop going to the gym or fitness class and back to eating junk. I just maintain my middle of the road habits of eating an "eh- not good but not bad diet" and going to my fitness/dance classes regularly but refusing to sign up for any gym challenges or agreeing to any hardcore work out regimes.
  • I'm anxiously waiting for lab results that will determine if I am induced in 1 week vs. 3 weeks. I don't want her to come early, but part of me is thinking that having the baby next week wouldn't be so bad. I feel guilty for feeling this way...

    I hope that no matter what you get a healthy lovely little one
  • @J1D I hide mine because my husband is judgy about food habits, in the nicest way possible. He is an admitted health nut with an exercise addiction, and while he is really good about not projecting that onto me at all, he rolls his eyes at my junk food. He's actually been much better about it since I've been pregnant. 

    In fairness, I do deserve an eye roll when I choose crappy food over a nice, healthy meal at home, and I personally do feel guilty sometimes when I get on a junk food binge. 

    We were both raised very differently and acknowledge our different food habits; he had a mom who cooked elaborate, awesome meals all the time. I was raised by a single mom working two jobs, and I mostly ate processed, packaged foods and fast food growing up because that's all she had time for.

    @J1D, @Krysta6 : Haha, nah, we both love McDonalds. It's just when I'm on the way home from wherever, and he is already making something, but something else/more sounds better to me. ;). I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him what he has on the stove is The Wrong Thing or Not Enough for my Bottomless Gut. It's silly, really.
  • @TheSouffleGirl - I am the same! On nights when my husband cooks he usually cooks wild game meat (elk) since he is a hunter. Also, his dinners are usually served around 8pm or later. And sometimes I just want some Wendy's at 6pm. I too hide the evidence and just eat a small dinner with him when it is finally ready. Only the baby and I know our little secret!
  • I cried in every episode of the bachelor in paradise! And I've been watching old re-runs of 16 and pregnant and bawling my eyes out! I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm 35 years old!! Also, I love Klondike bars and eat them while I watch trash TV.

    I used to cry every time I watched the biggest loser well before I got pregnant... Couldn't even blame it on hormones then!

    My dh too! We do Crossfit but he is definitely waaay more into it than I am. We used to eat mostly paleo but the first trimester stopped that when all I could stomach was a piece of toast. I try to at least eat protein before I go for crap. But I'm definitely eating way more crap than normal. I have a bowl of cereal everyday now!

    Yesterday, I got a 4 piece chicken nugget kids meal from McDonalds and sat in my car in the parking lot and ate it probably under 5 minutes. I destroyed all evidence then drove home. DH would kill me, but I was STARVING and there's a McD's on the walk to the parking lot. and it was so cheap. Delicious. No regrets just guilt when DH commented that I wasn't as ravenous that evening. 

    i had mcdonalds for dinner wednesday and it was glorious. then i binge ate 5 cookies last night. large ones! i felt gross afterwards and went into a sugar coma and immediately started feeling guilty about my bad habits. i promised myself today would be a healthy eating day but after lunch i ate potato chips. i am just so tired junk food is all i am craving right now. i feel like a bad mom. (edit to say: my husband totally encourages all of this and the guilt trips are self-administered!! but sometimes i hide my wrappers from him because i don't want him to know i've become so junk food dependent as i am usually the one to encourage better habits.)
  • @j1d that's dh's cereal! I don't know why but I'm loving Rice Krispy cereal! So random...
