Thanks for stopping by
I think you must be much taller than me (yes, definitely, looking at your ticker- I started at 74kg). If I have a problem with jeans it's usually that they're too long (or, more commonly, they fit on the waist but are digging in/ breaking at the thigh. Stupid legs). I generally wear dark jeans most of the time that I can help it, these are just some regular ones I have (in fact, my best ones I've shrunk out of, which I'm a little bit annoyed about because they were expensive!).
My boyfriend and I have been to three places- and I suspect he'll want to go to one of them again. One of them is a very nice (albeit chain- but not big enough chain to get calories on) Chinese place. He'll want to get the banquet with me, which I imagine is in crazy calorie land. Similar to the little Greek place he's taken me to which he'd like to again, I'm sure. Probably the best option is a place near me- I'm not sure what it's meant to be, it just serves nice food, but of all different ethnicities. But if you get in before 7 you get their early bird deal, which is cheap (10 quid for 2 courses- apologies for the "quid", this is an Australian computer so there's no pound sign on my keyboard!- as opposed to 8 or so for a starter and 15 and up for a main), but more importantly, I'm pretty sure the portion sizes are much smaller because of the price (they were very small for restaurant size. Adequate, definitely- and very nice food- but I'd be annoyed if I paid 15 and got that little). I'm sure the food is quite calorific, but that's another option. Part of me almost thinks "sod it, I've been good every day bar one for two months (and on most of those days almost saintly, I'll just go where we go, eat what I like, and get back on the bandwagon the next day"- which is amazing given how much control the calorie counting gives me. Saving calories- eating 1200-1300 as opposed to within my entire range, which goes up to 1745- is definitely a good way to do it too.
I've attached the picture of the dress, by the way (with me in it). (You'll know because you're from Australia, I got it from Jacqui E- it was on sale for $50, and it's the best value dress I've ever bought. So versatile, and a bit stretchy so it's forgiving on extra/ lesser weight) Would love suggestions on how to doll it up- I've previously used a satin coloured sash (but I don't have any, my mum made them and she's in Oz), or it's been suggested I leave the dress alone and go for some costume jewellery. (something like this: )
I
love Taste. I wish there were more recipe websites out there like it. I actually get a lot of people telling me I'm inspired when it comes to cooking.

Really, I just know where to look.
