Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

I truly believe that most men would be unfaithful if they knew they could get away with it.

I think all the Royal family are lazy arseholes

I had a colleague who had COVID really badly and ended up in a coma for several months. Thankfully, he survived and has since fully recovered. Interestingly, he went into the hospital obese but left a healthy weight. The doctors obviously ensured he was fed through a drip etc but I'm assuming he was given the exact amount calculated for his needs. On that medically enforced diet, he lost weight.

lol of course it’s easier, that’s the whole bloody point. Weight loss isn’t a competition, it isn’t about the effort. It’s about health primarily and secondly appearance, and yes some bodies do work differently, metabolic conditions are a real thing.

people don’t struggle enough for your liking. Tough. Everyone is going to be slim and lovely. And yes way easier than if they didn’t take the drugs, and yes they can’t stay on for life, and stay slim and lovely forever; without feeling deprived. Their metabolic conditions cured. And so many other benefits, cardio vascular, kidney, cancer reductions, dementia and Parkinson’s reduction. The list is so long.

snd even better, it is now proven to have an anti ageing effect on the organs, due to the anti inflammatory

fabulous isn’t it.

People know. There is a way of saying something horrible and laughing. People know you are laughing at them. Would you mind if they did this back to you?

When people do this to me, I say something even more horrible back to them. It stops them doing it again.

I’m secretly horrible. Only DH knows just how horrible I really am. I have my group of friends and I would do anything for them. There are family members I love dearly. But, there are so many more people I just wish would fuck off never to be seen again.

I have what I think is an unapproachable face, but if there’s someone out there who wants to make friends, they always come and talk to me and my heart sinks because I know I’m going to have to put on a face and pretend to be interested in what they’re telling me. And they always tell me the most personal things. Same with colleagues. I have a core group of people I work with very closely and they’re forever asking me to do things with them, and telling me huge, deeply personal things about their lives. I don’t give a shit. I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to spend time with them. They irritate me. I just want them to do their jobs and leave me alone to do mine. But I have to be really positive and encourage them and pretend to care so they don’t get all upset and I don’t get moaned at for being an evil old cow. And I’m so resentful about it. Just fuck off and stop trying to force me to be your friend. I don’t have the energy.

I don’t like old men. They make my skin crawl. It doesn’t matter how long I’ve known them or how nice they are, whether they’re a relative or a colleague. I don’t want to be anywhere near them and I have to fight the urge to shudder and tell them to get away from me. There is a very simple explanation for this, which has left me with cptsd, but I have to take a deep breath and force myself to be normal with them.

I don’t like DH’s best friend. I think he’s stupid and his world has become so small that some of his opinions are insane. And he’s so bloody boring. He talks at me and I switch off, just mirroring his facial expressions and laughing when he does. He doesn’t need any input. And he’ll never know because I always make a big fuss of him, ask him about his life and make him feel welcome, because I love DH. But I wouldn’t care if I never saw him again.

I don’t really care about climate change. I think we’re beyond saving and what we’re doing now is like trying to extinguish a volcano with a can of Fanta. I recycle to avoid council fines, not because I think it will make any difference.

I think obesity can often be an eating disorder that needs psychiatric treatment in the same way that anorexia is treated. It’s great if the injections work, but if the original issue isn’t dealt with and new ways of eating aren’t learned, then is it only a matter of time before the weight goes back on? And I also think that people who complain about the burden on the NHS should think very carefully about their own circumstances. I don’t drive, why should my taxes go towards treating people who have been in car accidents? Or paying police officers to deal with motor incidents? I don’t have children, so why should my taxes go towards child benefit? I don’t exercise so why should I pay for treatment of your sprained ankle because you’ve decided to run around a park on a Sunday morning? I’ll be dead long before I get to state pension age, so why should I pay towards yours? We all benefit from other people paying towards something that they will never have any involvement with. That’s the whole point of tax and NI.

I think Amy Winehouse was massively over rated and the sitcom Friends wasn’t that great. I don’t like cats. I only hate one person and that is my neighbour. If a tree fell on her, I can’t promise I wouldn’t just look the other way and pretend I hadn’t seen.

But the tax payers money should be going on things that CAN NOT be managed independently, such as those born with diseases and conditions that can’t be helped without medical intervention. Talk about a nanny state…

Are you saying weight loss jabs lead to benefits like cancer reductions etc?

I think it's much more likely that the weight loss jabs help to regulate appetite and so people eat less and lose weight. The eating less and losing weight is what is beneficial and leads to improved metabolism, lower risk of dementia etc that you mention.

If the jabs are what some people need to lose weight and get healthier, fine. They're not actually necessary though. I lost a lot of weight through intermittent fasting and experienced lots of health benefits.

But whenever I say that people make noises about fasting being unhealthy. Sure, and jabs with known side-effects are better?? Or how about permanently stapling your stomach smaller - is that really a better idea than just not eating two days every week?

But fasting doesn't make anyone any money so...

Can you define willpower in a physiological context for me and how that applies to weightloss?

I wonder if there could be a medical or scientific explanation for why some people seem to have more or less "willpower".

Me neither. I have told people though! Well, my DH and DM.

I really don’t like cake

Yes, you can google it, but that’s the findings. It reduces certain cancers in the population. And the other benefits I mentioned.

Could you ask for consumables? Such as nice chocolate, good wine, luxury toiletries etc.

agree!

Really?! I'm FEWWWWMIN!'

Willpower is a mental state if mind to be able to stop impulses. Chosing the healthy option even though you’re craving the unhealthy ones…

FEWWWWWWWWWWWWWMIN!

There's some really interesting research into the gut microbiome and how it can control hunger signals. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/gut-bacteria-may-be-controlling-your-appetite-180957389/

Eating a bad diet leads to an unbalanced microbiome. Also loads of spikes and dips in insulin levels, which interferes with grehlin and leptin (hunger and satiety hormones).

Eating a varied diet with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and fibre leads to a healthy microbiome and better insulin control.

So it all comes back to diet in the end.

He was more so !

Really 🤣 we all said she was shocking and she just couldn't see what the problem was!

The Scary Mommy confessional used to be awesome. I laughed myself silly over some of the confessions on there. Then they got rid of it, and put a very pale version up on Insta. You have to register, so it's not anonymous, and there are only confessions allowed once in a blue moon, and what there is, is stuff like "I ate two biscuits instead of one!" Such a pity; it was a glorious thing.

How dare you?!

We'll be having child free people on here next!

#joking 😆

I didn’t have the Covid vaccine. Even now there’s good friends I won’t tell this to because it is still such a divisive subject.

She probably has a disorder. Just let it go. Remove yourself from her in your mind and then it won't hurt. If you become objective about it, it really helps, honestly.

OMG I am the same !!!!
