I've got a new job, but I can't tell my current colleagues until everything is in place. I nearly let the cat out of the bag about three times a day.

I take Ozempic and I've lost 35lb so far. I've not told anyone how I've lost the weight.

can I ask, did you get from the NHS? Or private.how much a month? I’m overweight and was going to ask my doctor about it.

Losing weight and getting a sub four hour marathon.

Not there yet but every run is progress.

That said in this very moment I'm pretending to have stayed up working but I'm watching trash TV and drinking prosecco while everyone sleeps

In the process of having a tattoo lasered off which I'd not long had done. Instantly regretted it 🙈 Four sessions in; at least four more to go.

chimichangaz · 05/04/2023 22:39

So many who are writing books!!

I've got a blog I want to turn into a way to make money, maybe through digital products. Very very few people know and definitely no one at work.

Like a pp said, I'm generating pension forecasts but that is not a secret to anyone who knows me 😊

Do it. You will never regret having a child will always regret not trying 😉

Considering a second child. I have told nobody. I've been so set on being one and done. I still might be but until I decide how I really feel about it I'm not sharing my feelings with anyone. Even DH.

Me too!

I am binge watching Neighbours from the start on YouTube way back from the 80’s. I feel like I’m in a Time Machine.

Twice weekly burlesque chair dance classes.

DH is aware but no one else knows. I'm usually very open about my 'unusual' enthusiasms but this one seems just too, too open to misunderstanding.

I luffs it. Don't need any friends or colleagues thinking of me 'like that'

I loved burlesque chair dance when i did it a few years ago pre dc. Never been one for showing myself off I always stay in the background but standing on a stage in front of hundreds of people at a show what a buzz it was

Binge watching Chesapeake Shores on Netflix. It's so bad it's good Grin

Ha ha, that’s exactly what I thought about it! I secretly watched it too and even when I’m discussing tv shows with friends I haven’t admitted to that one!!

Mustreadabook · 05/04/2023 22:49

I wish i was!

Mindovermatter247 · 05/04/2023 22:49

Having a mental breakdown… no one knows because I keep up the facade. I’ve got to my dc rely on me so I’m having my mental breakdown in private…

Imwalkingaway · 05/04/2023 22:52

I'm also moving away. 200 miles was the initial plan but DH reckons we can skidaddle 400 miles away and make it work 😍

I'm also unemployed. I didn't tell anyone I quit my horrid toxic job for the sake of my MH.

Painting watercolour bookmarks. I've got too many to keep so I put them inside books that I donate to charity.

That's bloody lovely!

Brew This sounds really hard. Have you called anyone? There are various helplines who might be able to help, or just listen.

What is fan fiction? I Keep reading about it!

@Sasha07 that's amazing! I am learning German - no reason in particular, just felt like it.

Knockmealdowns · 05/04/2023 22:58

Having headspace for yourself is hard when you have people relying on you.. can you go out for walks or be in nature at lunch or early mornings? This helps me when my head is going to burst..

Bellavida99 · 05/04/2023 22:59

I’m doing French on Duolingo. I haven’t done French since school but it came back to me quite quickly and I feel like I’m really achieving something and enjoying it.

Battling depression that no one in RL knows about.

Using MN to practice mind control. If you find yourself doing something unusually out of character then...

You can do this?

I might take that up too!

Can you try and get my mind to want to do housework?

That'd be unusual!

Another one doing a language - I can’t wait to go back to the country and test it out.

Also slowly slowly losing weight with the help of all the Lazy Pigs in the weight loss thread!
