Instead I got "In these four columns choose the words that you think describe how people expect you to act" and "In these four columns choose the words that you think actually describe you" and that was it.

See, I'd get all caught up in "which people"??? Because I think people who've just met me would expect me to act one way but people who really know me expect me to act another way (and I think people who really know me have realistic expectations of how I'll act. I'm consistent if nothing else.)

Trust my rage

Can I whine here for just a moment?

I'm so tired of eating so much. It is f@#king work! Moslty I've been feeling okay the last week or two, but the second i get hungry, I feel awful. And I'm so tired of eating raisins, yogurt, granola, cheese, fruit and healthy stuff. All I want to eat is M&Ms, Heath Bars, and Starbursts.

And I've been feeling dizzy on and off for about a week now. I sit at my desk and everything thing feels weird - sometimes things spin, other times I just feel like I"m about to, but not quite, lose my balance.

Anyway, totally nothing compared to people with, you know, actual problems, but I just want it to stop.

Hey, Bobbi, welcome!

If you want to use the handy-dandy quoting shortcut, just put ">" before the part of your post that contains a quote. That way this:
>Harry Potter likes carrots.
looks like this:

Poor you! Can you do something trail mixy to mix in the treats with the healthy? Like chocolate chips mixed with nuts? I know it's not the same but still.

I'm sure your thing is pregnancy-related but that sounds like how I felt right before I had my crazy vertigo last fall. yikes! Be careful!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Poor Steph! Pregnancy = HARD. Sory you're feeling vertigo-y and such. Are you not eating the sugary cause you don't want to or a medical reason? Maybe just a teensy bit every once in awhile?

Pregnancy IS hard - you're making a new person! and quality work is always harder.

Also - not it. If I should turn up pregnant, it'd be a toss-up as to who I called first - the AMA or the Vatican.

I'm sure it's related to the pregnancy thing, but I do worry. Bending over to help Ellie on the potty has been actually scary a few times.

Are you not eating the sugary cause you don't want to or a medical reason?

Part of it is that I gained 5 lbs in the first two weeks because the only way to stop the nausea was to eat. And I'm totally in that looking fat, not pregnant phase.

Honestly, I'm just sick of eating all the time. I'm eating to stop a bad feeling, as opposed to eating to enjoy it. I totally love all the sweets and honestly, it's one of the few things that I don't feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I had really good Lindt chocolate in the fridge and didn't touch it for weeks. M&Ms and Twix bars, however, are screaming my name.

eta: silver lining note - the human body is pretty damn amazing because I'm so tired of eating that nausea is about the only thing that will induce me to keep eating. The spice cake cupcakes, however, sounded awesome!

And, of course, NOT IT as far as who might be pregnant.
