because i'm worth it!! (aren't we all??!)

thanks cinderelly!!

but i may not be posting on here for much longer unfortunately...

i should have just stuck to posting in my diary & in other ppls!!

i never last long on forums...i usually end up p*ssing someone off or they me...or both!! hahaha then i just get fed up with the whole thing...

we can't get along with everyone or agree with everyone...well i can't!! i'd rather say what i think & fall out with someone than say nothing at all...

after all...
if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything...

anyway...according to one poster on here today or is it two?? i can't remember...one is speaking for the other i think...i don't like americans??!

WTF??! all of them?? thats a lot of ppl!! LOL

mindful eating...

i scribbled some notes down about mindful eating...then forgot about them...as you do LOL anyway here they are...

1. food for fuel is about taking in no more calories than the body needs & if trying to lose weight, taking in less (no!!! really???) but the following is a good analogy well no not good...quite icky actually...but makes you think...

when we overeat, it is as dangerous as filling the gas tank on the car & then opening the trunk (or boot as we say in the UK) & filling it with gas too!! :ack2:

2. enjoyment & satisfaction can be radically increased by a process called Mindful Eating...(this might be a bit happy clappy for some...but still it does have some good points...)

Focus on the Joy of Eating only.

Just focus on eating rather than on eating while focused on something else (reading, watching TV, driving, working).

Pray and consider with gratitude all the people, insects, and plants and technology that went into bringing this food to you.

Eat a bite, and really savor it. Taste it fully. Chew. Notice the textures.

Make happy noises! Mmmmmm! Oh God, that tastes so incredibly sweet! I love it! Thank you!! Amplify the joy of eating, while eating "the perfect amount."

Take a breath between bites. And smile! It is great to be alive and eating delicious food!

Take a small sip of water between different foods.

Eat until you feel satisfied, but make the process slow and delicious. DELICIOUS!

Practice by eating one raisin or one slice of orange or banana. Or one piece of chocolate.

Make it a moving, eating meditation. Mantra: "There is enough. I am enough! I deserve to fully taste the sweetness of this food and of all of life, right now and always."

3) Social interaction used to be a benefit of the way that people ate. We joined together as a tribe to enjoy the fruits of the forest and of the hunt. We often danced before and after, and felt connection and honored the earth spirits that brought us the abundance.

How far we've strayed from those rituals! If you feel "unsatisfied" after a big meal, ask yourself, "What do I feel is lacking here?" Is it connection? Is it sweetness? Is it contentment?


i've remembered what site it was from now. not sure if i can post links to another weight loss site...so if anyone wants to know the site details pm me)
 
minis goulash...i was called skinny mini at school...a looooong time ago!!

made a very quick & filling meal earlier. i don't count calories or carbs as such, i just try to cut down on the extra crap i don't need...crisps/chocs etc but it has to be low in fat as its really just veg...anyway made lots... & everyone who ate it thought it was very tasty!!

(i don't follow recipes or measure ingredients either...so my 'recipes' are very easy to follow...ie just throw stuff in pan...& stir!! LOL)

had potatoes in fridge that i'd mashed with a little semi skimmed milk & low fat butter the night before

put a little olive oil in pan then add 1 chopped red onion & a clove of garlic

when browned add the mashed pots/but boiled pots just fine too

then add 1 tin tomatoes & 1 tin chick peas (red kidney and/or green beans would go too)

then added some mixed herbs & finally a swirl of lea & perrins chilli sauce

i just had that on its own but the others had it with crusty granary bread.
 
another lb down!!:jump:

but i should really stick to one day a week...as i weighed myself on three different days this last week...i'm getting too eager to see if i've lost!!
 
hmmmm my fave mashed potatoe is...

colcannon its an irish recipe

add boiled leek & shredded cabbage to mashed pots with a little low fat butter & semi skimmed milk

delicious with quorn sauages (or pork sausages if you prefer!!) mushy peas & onion gravy

& with irish soda bread too as a weekend treat!! yum!!


garlicky cheesy mash very quick & easy too

add 1 red oinion & 1 clove of garlic to a little olive oil

when browned add to mashed pots with a little low fat butter & semi skimmed milk

sprinkle over some cheese

& pop under grill

again quorn sausages go lovely with some beans too


although i'm trying not to eat the extra rubbish now...that amount to nothing more than empty calories...i still like to feel nice & full!! :)
 
Take time to laugh, it's music for your soul."


not sure if derek & clive ever crossed over to the US...maybe not LOL but they make me giggle :D

warning!! not choir boys...so swearing every other word in first clip...or rather one word in particular...as charlotte says in sex & the city...the 'see you next tuesday' word...
 
dammit.....

mind distracted today...as my sex obsessed post on the dating thread shows...i was naughty...no not 'that' way...unfortunately...thats part of the problem!! no i mean in the eating dept!! :angelsad2:

think i'll definitely be leaving my weigh in till friday this week...

but back on the wagon tomorrow.......i mean today its now nearly 1.30am here...my baths going to be cold...& i'm up in 6 hrs.......jesus..........:willy_nilly:



a little tune...goodnight & godbless as my nan used to say...
 
but back on the wagon tomorrow

No worries, mishaps happen, right? And at least you've already pledged to eat well tomorrow. Last time I goofed it sent me on a two day binge and probably pushed my 299 goal back another week. Doh! :(

And uh, sorry. I can't help with your ... err, other issues. :blush5:
 
schwa...

don't worry love!! (scouser term of endearment remember??! for loved ones, friends & total strangers all alike...we're quite a flippant lot from liverpool :))

you're very safe from my sexual advances...as to me you're just a young'un ;) i'm sure you're nearer to my eldest sons age than mine (hes 21 this yr) so it wouldn't be wild sex that would come to my mind if we were to ever meet y'know out there in the real world...it would be...

have you got your coat on as it might get chilly later?? or have you had something to to eat??

the two things i am most guaranteed to say to my son on a daily basis...one when he goes out of the house...the other when he comes back in & i'll probably still be saying those two same exact things to him when hes 50!! :D

you are a funny one! i'm glad you stuck around. Sorry i've not been as active as usually in your thread. just been otherwise "busy" but here i am, and back in full force! like schwa said, don't worry about slipping. it happens, we're human. what we are doing takes a lot of discipline and sometime we break. its getting back into it that matters. as long as you can do that and stick to it for a while, you, my friend, are good to go :)
 
thanks kureransu...

we must have both written in each others diaries at almost the exact same time...hows that for synchronicity??! :)
 
easy peasy fish pie...

y'know those cod in butter/parsley sauce by birds eye that you get in little boxes that you can even micro now in the bag?? (told you it was easy!!)

cook 4 & place in an oven proof dish

boil a pan of potatoes...mash with a little low fat butter & semi skimmed milk
(actually best do potatoes first...though sure you knew that LOL)

then put boiled mixed veggies over...carrots/cauli/broccoli etc

make up a cheese sauce (yes i did it the lazy girl way from a packet!!)

sprinkle over some cheese

then put under grill till starts to brown...its very very yummy!!

bagladys haddock fishcakes...

cook some haddock fillets

then mix with mashed potatoe & spring onions...just squish altogether!!

make little patties with mixture as near to a round shape as you can (note how i'm very big on the technical details...not...LOL)

put on baking tray & cook in oven until...well until they look a little browned...best turn over a couple of times too

simple & tasty...especially with a little sweet chilli sauce as a dip...yum!!




a very mellow tune man!! :sifone::sifone:

its psychedelic rock apparently?! i suppose you could always spike the fishcakes...its from 1967 the year i was born.
 
springtime skin boost...

this makes your skin look lovely & dewy!!

use a body scrub or loofa top to toe in the shower not forgetting elbows & knees...use big circular movements...

wax/shave legs...

in the next life i'm coming back as a man so i don't have to worry about body hair!! actually no maybe not...call me old fashioned but i think heels & stockings look sexier on a woman...& i'd rather wear those than have hairy man legs...though i do like them on a guy...see how it all works out nicely??! :D

i love being a woman...but i do like the boys too...i like being around men & how they look & smell & the banter between them...vive la difference as they say in france...

i must stop obsessing about boys!!!! this was meant to be about glowy skin!!

so like i was saying before my horny side :newangel: took over..........


rub in a little moisturiser on rougher areas of skin like elbows & knees...

then use a body moisturiser with a hint of self tan such as dove/johnsons...

you can get light to medium to dark shades...

i use dove as it has a glow to it & as they're not actual self tan you can't go orange!!

i use a separate one on my face too...i may have excess curves but at least i have nice soft sun-kissed skin...all over!!
 
my favourite dress...& food...& sex...the usual then hahaha

still getting back on track after my little wobble earlier in the week...i wouldn't mind but even as i ate some of the food i'd been trying not to eat...i was thinking nice but not that nice...i could have resisted after all :doh:

but isn't amazing how our mind & stomach do get used to the change quite quickly...as what did i really eat on monday & tuesday (yes my fall off the wagon lasted 2 days too schwa :))?? some extra bread...some cheese & a little chocolate??! hardly the biggest binge of all time!!! that would have been just a supper time snack not that long ago LOL

so even if 2 steps forward 1 step back at times...on the whole i'm still moving forward!!! i'll be back in my favourite D & G dress & heels in no time!! (ok maybe not that soon...but by what?? august/september?? fingers& toes crossed!!!) it would be very fitting if it was by the end of august as it was august when i last had sex...& no even though i am usually an open book in most things not ready to share the exact yr it was hahaha...but yes it was a few yrs not months ago...no wonder i'm bloody obsessing!!! but god help the man who i do finally get busy with...seriously...he'll be damn lucky to get out alive...& no i don't mean in a scary kathy bates/misery kinda way LOL...not going to tie him to the bed...although now i've said it i don't know maybe!! ;) but don't worry...he will only be used & abused in the nicest way possible...i'll even be gentle with him...i swear on my one & only pair of jimmy choos!! ok thats it no more sex talk from me i promise!!!
 
you got BL, we are all human here and just because we are losing weight doesn't mean we can sometimes indulge in the joys of living! like you said you are moving forward, and that is what matters! keep up the great work. talk to you soon.
