What’s something you’ve done this week/month that no one knows about?

[ForgetBarbie]

Today I stood outside of KFC and enjoyed a fillet burger after my 1 hour gym session! I didn’t bother bringing it home for DP to see as I already had a Starbucks frappe and a slice of cake this afternoon😂

What’s your secret of the week/month?

@XenoBitch Go you! Great stuff.

@Forestflies1972 I was thinking about this last night! I assume the internet has the answers?

I hope everyone who enjoyed a cheeky cigarette or junk food enjoyed every moment. We have to live dangerously sometimes.

Cried walking down the street because I listened to a song that we had at our wedding (Bring me sunshine) and imagined it being played at DHs funeral. DH is in his 40s, healthy and fit. A neighbour saw me and asked if everything was OK, I lied and said I had had some sad news about a school friend. Felt terrible lying but thought the truth was just to weird.
Honestly I just cry at anything at the mo.

Thank you, and yes. I am am going to look into getting some help because I don't think I can do it alone.

Lost half a stone but the only people I've met haven't seen me for ages so didn't notice.

It is pretty much all I needed to lose, but it's been on for years (lockdown comfort eating) and I just couldn't get motivated to get it off and have been berating myself for my laziness for at least 2 years. Took 18 days ffs 😂

Now to buy a new wardrobe 😊

Congrats on the baby @TheMumLife3
And on the lack of alcohol @XenoBitch

This is boring compared to some of these.
I emailed the head of year at DDs school to explain about some problems she's been having and ask for a bit of support. Haven't told DD cos she would be furious but she came home and said, "oh it was really weird Mrs X called me in for a chat today and I told her all my problems."
She has no clue it was me, I said oh really who is Mrs X?

@DoodlePug 18 days for half a stone? How did it come off so quickly?!

That sounds a great plan. You've taken the hardest steps by admitting you have a problem and doing something about it.

The alcohol thread OP is very open about things. I'm sure she'd give you pointers via PM if you got in touch.

Sending you strength. Keep going chuck.

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and no-one knows. Every day this week and last I've been so hungry I've secretly ate my lunch at my desk at around 10am when the office is empty, got rid of all the evidence, then had a second lunch at a 'normal' lunchtime with everyone else.

Baked a dozen pumpkin spice muffins with a crumble top but told the family the recipe only made 10 - ate the other two when they were still warm! So delicious and naughty

@LucyFox i went to Halfords to get this done and the approximately 12 year old assistant asked me to open the bonnet and I didn’t know how

I really really hate my job. To the point that it has made me physically ill.
So I applied for some other jobs and have this week accepted an offer and signed the contract.

Welldone @XenoBitch !
I was following another thread that you were on. Hope your ok 👍🏽

No, it’s going to remain our little secret, at least as far as I’m concerned. It was wonderful, and I’d like to repeat it.

Booked in for Botox this week. I've had it before and not kept it a secret but can't be arsed with the comments from H, DC's and other family members.

Am in bed eating a mars bar …bloody amazing 🤩

I just did that too. The dog was annoyed I wouldn’t share. I also stayed in bed all morning (instead of cleaning the house) as I had a morning off work and DD was at her dad’s last night

Went back to bed this morning for a nap in my deliciously warm bed (clean sheets on yesterday as well) as soon as everyone left the house at 8am!

Got up at 1pm then did a very rewarding Home Bargains bulk shop for loo roll, kitchen roll, hand wash, cleaning wipes and food bin liners that we’d just about run out of but which I refuse to buy in Tesco due to how much more they are in there. Been putting it off as I hate going in there! Then treated myself to a McDonalds. No one will ever know! Haven’t gone back into bed in years since DC were little and at nursery/school while I was a SAHM and only if a really horrific sleepless night due to non sleeping DC. Day off work today so thought why the hell not as it was so damp and miserable outside.

I ate 3 bags of skips in a row earlier and the only witness was my baby thankfully. Also when I say ate, I practically inhaled them. Took every ounce of strength not to eat a 4th

Told my partner I was going to head to the gym on an unexpected morning off work. Actually just lay on the sofa, binge-watching trashy tv and then had a lunchtime nap.

Well. Some people do know this but mostly I've not told anyone in real life as they don't understand the significance

Today I did my 100 hour as a counsellor. This means I'm fully done with my counselling course and will get a BACP accredited certificate soon.

Not bad for a girl who left school before A levels

Oh and I've started a 3 year course to become a psychotherapist....

Ok this was a couple of weeks ago and clearly relevant people know, but it’s one of things I wanted shout from the rooftops but couldn’t….

I negotiated a raise for an employee that was transferred to me to almost double what he was making. This was part of a promotion that was in the works, but I pushed for the absolute max for him.

He was being underpaid previously and during the transfer he really wasn’t under anyones budget so I took full advantage of the situation for him.

Congratulations! 🎉

Crept out of bed and have sat eating ice cream at midnight to try and quell night sweats. My new antidepressants are making it hard to sleep and peri menopause is not helping.

Midnight crisp sandwiches 🤦‍♀️ twice already this week ffs.. trying not to go for my 3rd 😂🤦‍♀️

I LOVE a crisp sandwich. So jealous.

Hope they were either cheese and onion or prawn cocktail. Nothing else is acceptable.

Thank you!
Early days.. I will get there :)
