THURSDAY ASK-N-GAB • FIFTEENTH


My answer: Food. I hate that about myself.

Unfortunately food would be mine as well. I like it way too much. I am an emotional eater and I know that about myself so that makes it easier to handle. I weighed 32 pounds more than i do right now last Christmas. I am still not thin and probably never will be. I would like to loose another 30 pounds. Smoothies are the way I make myself eat correctly.

Wow I just said a lot more than I intended to, better hit post fast!

Yeah I'm gonna go with dessert. Especially while pregnant - not having dessert feels like I'm being punished.

gossip. big time. my husby is a bigger gossip than i, so we can fill hours talking about the e'ersofascinating lives of others. who's screwing over who, why this person is such a jerk, etc. any attempts i make to not gossip are quickly thwarted...i think it's the old (pseudo)journalist in me, (i know that's the case for the husby) trying to make sure every story gets told...

You want me to disclose this HERE? Sorry.

Cigarettes. And beer. And beer & cigarettes together.

crissy said...

I've got a serious dessert weakness. Put a succulent dish in front of me, or bake a cake before I come over and I will inhale it. Its a real problem. Don't even get me started on chocolates.
I also have a major weakness for tiny baby clothes. If I'm out shopping and I pass the baby section I'm drawn in, and I have to really restrain myself not to buy something for my little ones, still I've failed many times, bringing home sweet little dresses or handsome little polos and sweatere vests.
But all of my previous talk about desserts makes me think I'd like to go bake myself a cake now...

Kristen said...

Anything that contains even a speck of sugar.

"Hello, my name is Kristen, and I have a sugar addiction".

meg said...

So what we are is a bunch of dessert-addicts come together online? Amazing.

Crissy, don't you make that cake if you're not going to share with everyone.

And Repliderium, I've no clue what it's like to smoke or have a beer or have them together--so what's the appeal? I get the dessert thing, but please tell me what's awesome about beer and smokes. I'd love to finally be in the know as I'm a total pansy and prude.

And Rabid, duh, we all already know what your weaknesses are. Holy things like: running, for it's your crack, and me. I'm totally your weakness. Just try and stay away, I dare you (but not really).

**sigh** there is NOTHING good about it- that's the allure. They're the "bad boy" that your mother always warned you about.

Shelby Lou said...

the internets.

They suck me dry of my life sometimes....

Jessica said...

sugar. more specifically, the high-fructose corn syrup-laden dr. pepper. it is my main weakness. even when i give up other sugars i can't seem to stay away from the dr. pepper for long. so sad. i'm working on quitting but it's hard. i suppose it's better than a meth habit or something....

Brandon and Julie said...

Really good cake. And ice crem. And books with pretty/interesting covers. I'm such a cover whore. Even if I'm not gonna read the book, if the cover strikes me its mine.

Hen Pecks said...

Sex. (Just kidding. I just wanted to make my daughters' toes curl and imagine them saying, "EWWWW!")

Seriously tho, there are a few.

The Doctor. Have to have Vitamin P in the morning to get the motor running. (Diet Dr.P)

Sweets. Mainly chocolate. Any chocolate treat laying around does not lay around for long. If I buy candy to give out for Scripture Candy at church it has to be hidden at someone else's house or I can't leave it alone. It's pathetic.

Maxwell is also another a big temptation. We spend way too much time together. Good thing he's plastic, inanimate, and has an apple tattoo on his back or we might really have a problem.

meg said...

Mom, you are so awesome.

Keli'i and Megan said...

The damn computer. That's my weakness. And delicious Diet Dr. Pepper. Oh yeah. And if it's a really good day, they're enjoyed at the same time.

Keli'i and Megan said...

Wait, I just read your moms! We're kindred spirits, Momma Hen!

rabidrunner said...

Be still my heart! The Hen names her stuff. I love that about people. Actually, I like people who do that.

Hen Pecks said...

Rabid, it started with my first child, Meg, and now I name everything, from the car to the plants. I'm an eccentric little old grandma.

Megan, they're always joined together! Like salt and pepper or chips and salsa. You totally understand!

Alicia said...

Technology. Specifically the computer. And Salty Potato Chips, Doritos, and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Food. Throw me in with the mix...

[Morgan] said...

sugar.
sugar. sugar. sugar.
i am convinced that if i could cut out even half of the sugar i eat i would drop 10lbs easily.
you name it - ice cream, cookies, candy, soft drinks, cereal, even white bread.
i like it all sweet.

M to the E to the R to the I said...

Food. Any kind. Doesn't matter. Could be hummus, could be Hostess cupcakes. As long as it's edible, I will stuff my face with it.

Misti said...

Being lazy. It is much easier to curl up on the bed to watch tv than to be productive and do what I need/want/should be doing.

Leslie said...

So many things to choose from, so little space! Number one weakness right now? Staying up late reading or internetting. Or internetting, then reading. Then I'm very tired the next day. Oh, that and Sonic Cherry Limeade.

Rookie Cookie said...

I have weaknesses for naps. When my boys go down for the afternoon, I usually get a lot done. But I mostly nap with them and regret it when they wake up and the laundry didn't fold it's self while we were sleeping.

cat+tadd said...

Shopping. Diet Coke. Desserts. Food

Nay. Shopping with a Diet Coke, and coming home to an extravagant meal and fancy dessert.

Weakness or perfection? What's the difference?

Ashley Thalman said...

Food? Aw suckas- I got big issues with being judgmental and getting on the slippery slope of hating everyone in pubic places. THAT is my biggest weakness!

aezra noell said...

Lack of Motivation...or in other words, Procrastinate.

crissy said...

So, I made that cake--anyone coming over to share?
I couldn't resist. I told you. I am a cake whore...

Lindsey V said...

My weakness is anything sweet. I can eat a 3 course meal and be filled to the brim, and then I must have something sweet right after.

Haley Hall said...

One...sleeping. My latest thing is waking up at 8 a.m., eating breakfast, and then going back to bed for another 3 hours. Whatever happened to digesting your food?
Two...gossip. Way bad and WAY too much fun.
Three...candy. Anyone who can say no to candy stinks. Not my friend, that's for sure.
