Confession: My pants are too tight, so I am sitting here at work with the top button unbuttoned. This makes me feel fat.
What's your confession?

Re: Confessions
I went out with a friend for dessert last night. I didn't even really feel like cake, and I *knew* it would be a bad idea, but I ate it anyway.
Back up it came an hour later. Yup.

I have a feeling AF isn't showing up because I'm anxious about it. I'm not stressing by any means, but I can't deny that I'll be disappointed it she shows.
also, I haven't shaved my downstairs in a loooong time and it's getting out of control. I'm at a loss of what to do about it at this point. it's way too long to shave and I really don't want to pay for a wax. poor Sean. =/

I've gotten little work done today. I'm cranky and can't concentrate; power outage=brain outage for me, it seems. I'm also wearing jeans and will probably get in trouble if my boss comes in today. Ah, well, I'm too pissy to care at the moment.
This is a bit heavy of a confession... but sometimes you just need to vent. I think I'm becoming clinically depressed. I've been dealing with serious anxiety ever since the m/c and it in turn is just really making me a sad and negative person. I feel awful about 80% of the time due to anxiety disorder symptoms and because of them I don't leave the house, I hate being at work or anywhere I feel off because quite frankly its kind of a scary feeling. I've also become very pessimistic always annoucing the negative things or feeling down when I should be positive or excited over something... I also have zero drive to do things, include cooking, because I'd rather be balled on the couch waiting for my heart to stop racing...
I'm trying hard to get myself out of this naturally... I don't really like the idea of anti depressants... I'm trying to get to the gym, but the snow storms we've been having have really put a dent in my schedule. I'm going to start yoga again next week and I finally made a real doctor appt to talk about this with my doctor. I seriously feel like one of those ppl in the depression hurts commercials...

Aww Hayes, I hope things look up for you. I know yoga was a big relief for me when life got crazy. Hopefully it does the same for you.
I bought a whole can of Pringles today, and I'm pretty sure I'll finish them today.
I also really want to leave work early so I can beat the snow heading up the mountain to my aunt's house. I managed to be late this morning, so I doubt that will happen. Think they'll notice if I just pack up and go? Probably not.
You are doing the right thing about talking to your doctor. I am glad to hear that you have done that. Being depressed is a hard thing to admit. I am on Zoloft for my PPD, and will be on it for a while longer. Taking something has helped me SO MUCH. Big hugs.
I have had horrible gas (thank god for lotion at my desk
). Lastnight at Zumba I was very thankful that the music was so loud. There was one song where we had to do a lot of squats, well yeah, every time I did a squat, it just came out. I kept praying the lady behind me didn't hear me.
Rebann - You're a beautiful person.
Ehayes - Sorry you're feeling that way. And if you go the anti-depresant route, just remember, you're not the first nor last person that will ever take them, and it doesn't define you.
My confession: I've been super good at going to the gym the last two weeks, eatting really well and even drinking lots of water. I've also been super bad about stepping on the scale every time I see it. We're not friends as of this morning.
Also, if one more bra salesperson indicates my boobs will get smaller as I continue to work out, I might smack them. I was a size 8 with F's, 2 years ago. Now I understand these GG girls might shrink a little, I'm not thinking I'll ever be shopping for A, B's or C's again in my life.
I haven't shaved anything below my waist in a couple months and its looking really bad. I also really need a pedicure as I can't reach my toenails to cut them and I'm not sure I trust DH to cut them because I can't stand the way he cuts his own. I'm at the point they are so long they hurt though and I have nearly taken chunks out of DH legs also.
I'm also pissed at one of my friends because she is being all "I know everything about pregnancy" and trying to tell me constantly what I can and can't do while pregnant just because she couldn't do them when she was pregnant 3 years ago.
Erinn, I want to crawl through the screen and give you a hug. I've noticed you've been down, and it makes me sad. We're date twins, therefore I care.
Take care of you.
I'm in desparate need of some person care. My eyebrows are unrule, my roots are outta control, my lady parts need some attention and my legs need shaving. But, I'm lazy.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

same here. I'm glad you're being proactive about it. I'm confident that you will be able to find a routine (whatever that may entail) that can bring back happiness to your life. you deserve it!

Hugs to you, Erinn. And all you ladies.
I confess I am irrationally irritated that DH gets to work four 10 hour days and has every Friday off, while I work five 12 hour days Monday thru Friday, plus either Saturday or Sunday. I know he works hard, and deserves his time off, but it still bothers me that he's off and I'm not.
And I'm also irrationally irritated that DH's awful exW got to be a SAHM for 8 years. I wanted to be a SAHM, but my exH is an idiot and we could never afford it. I'm angry that such a horrible person got to enjoy something I can never have. Plus it bit him in the ass in their divorce settlement - she never bothered to earn her own retirement, so she just stole his.
I totally don't want to give Sherlock back. Ringy has the best cat EVAH. He's so friendly and playful and cuddly. Ah! He's even better than the cats I had... and I loooved my cats, but their personalities were no where nearly as good as his is.
I can totally tell you guys are going to be great parents.

DH and I found a sibling set we really want to adopt. We're not sure what our chances are as these girls are currently placed out of state and we don't have our foster care license yet. We're trying to get our hopes up, but it's exciting none the less.
Erinn - *Hugs*
My Confession: I ate three cupcakes at work today. They were leftover from a catering event last night, and they were calling my name all day. After I ate the first one, I knew I was done for. I can't believe I ate three.

I'm having a hard time at work lately. I work at the hospital where my Mom died and whenever I encounter situations/places that are the same as back then, I freak out a bit and almost have a panic attack.
Today, I had to go interview a patient in the 'quiet room' in the ER. It was a psych patient so I was confused and asked the ward clerk if she meant the bubble room (padded room with a bubble window) and she said no, 'the quiet room where they take people when their loved on is going to die.' That's the room I was taken to when I got to the ER after Dad called and where we were told Mom was bleeding in her brain, had a seizure and was now intubated. Being in that room just made a whole bunch of horrible memories flood back and the rest of my day sucked.
Adding to that confession...I don't tell my husband about these things. I don't know why.
Ehayes and rxbeth-hugs and good thoughts to both of you! I'm sorry you guys are going through a difficult time
fmo-I hope things go in your favor and you are able to take in the children you have in mind!
Mandee-I'll cross my fingers for you that it isn't just anxiety and that AF isn't coming around for at least another 9 months
auntb-I feel the exact same way. I've been trying to finish school and get a job other than retail/customer service/call center crap but I don't even know what to do anymore since I have so many friends who have degrees and still can't find jobs.
I confess I'm kinda feeling overwhelmed with this house hunting deal already. Some banks won't approve us for the amount we need because since we just moved 5 months ago we obviously don't have the length of current job history they're looking for. Add to that the house we were very interested in has a current owner that is attached and acting like she's unwilling to negotiate even though her house has been on the market for 250+ days. *sigh* HGTV makes buying a home look so much more fun than it really is lol
