Fatty.2 : Revenge of the chub.

Woahh, lots of lovely comments :hurray:


Sir Cabalot, I agree with you about Maccy D's! I want it soooo bad this afternoon but I only like the breakfast (not a fan of the burgers/chips really) so it's too late for me to order anyway!! What are bacon egg and cheese biscuits? Do biscuits mean something else over there? Biscuits are like cookies over here.
And I do hope you are not insinuating that Her Royal Crumpet is a pervert! ;) Thanks for your concerns about Yank's mum..It really is very upsetting. It's silly but it really reminds me of this sketch by Louis C.K. She's just turned into a child! (the bit about (fignewtons)

Glad you liked Laura Marling. I love her lyrics :) Seeing her live was awesome.


Tiggy, thanks for stopping by :D You used to go several times a week?! I think at my highest I was probably going like 3 times a week :( Must be so bad for us! Glad we're not like that anymore! You're right though, it's more about the sodium and stuff than the calories because it's not actuuuually that bad these days.

Hey Jess, thanks for your kind thoughts :beating: I'm really hoping that she'll get picked up the police again and forced into hospital as she wont go by herself :(

Moooooonbeam: Hey lovely :D Thank you very much for being so sweet. I just want to make it better for her and for my Yank but she wont help herself. It's very frustrating. And no, as far as I know McDonalds don't do spicy lamb at allll over in the UK!


Jay, I hope something can be done as well :( It's just hard for him to help when he's 3000 miles away but he needs to be here for school. I'm sorry if I tempted you with McDonalds my lovely!!!!

Thanks for sharing your experiences, Ecky..Me and Yank have a feeling that she's been abusing medication. She has cancer so is always on a great deal of meds and we believe that she might be buying drugs as she stole a laptop last month from her best friend and now no-one can find it and she's denying it all. Sucks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I've got my night shift tonight :) Brought a ton of soup and beans so going to have low-fat beannnnz on crumpets for lunch or soup and then a WW meal for dinner with some spanish style wedges.

Well, that's the plan anyway!!
 
I have to get another piercing! My friend just started working at a tattoo/piercing place and I promised her ages ago I'd get one but I missed the boat and all that's left is lady bits, nipples and surface piercings.

Getting nekkid in front of my friend was not on my to-do list this year. But even Yank is getting one! All of us made a promise we would (we can take them right out again afterwards though, so it's not toooo bad.)

Awkward!

Getting my tattoo in January now as well!

Breakfast: 2 crumpets (160)
Lunch: tomato soup (226) piece of wholemeal bread w/ butter (110)
Dinner: WW meal (327) spanish style wedges (260)
Total: 1083 but will have food on my night shift later

Hi Sunflower! Just dropping by to say hello! Maybe get some food ideas from your diary. Do you have any other tattoos? I have 4. 2 dragon tattoos, a cross, and a Japanese character that means "wisdom"
 
Thanks ecky, for giving a description! I love biscuits but could not figure out how to describe them! Having never had a scone or a crumpet, I was at a loss. Yum, they sure are delicious!

GOOD news about McDonalds, because I'm not educated or worldly enough to comment on anything else:
Fish sandwich with no tartar sauce? Not that bad for you.
Grilled chicken wrap with either ranch or honey mustard? Also not that bad for you.

That's my fix, right there :)

Awh, I missed this comment! I must have been writing my reply when you posted! I don't eat fishhhh :( But grilled chicken is yummy so I can try that next time the need for junk over-takes me!!


Akani, I'm sorry if I came across as a cow-bag on your diary. Just want you to be healthy and to lose weight in a healthy way! Becoming obsessed with calories and eating so little isn't a healthy way to do this and, whilst I understand your need to look lovely for you wedding, at such a small weight already you're already slim and lovely! Just slow down a little :) I'm sure you'll look beautiful!
And I'm afraid you wont find any food ideas on this diary! All I eat are crumpets and twiglets with the occasional jacket potato thrown in there! I'm not being healthy at all right now!!


Thanks for the explanation, Val..I was rather confused!!
 
Hey Sunflower,

My sister is bipolar - it's pretty full on to deal with - especially because she hates her medication although, as Val said, she can't be blamed because psychiatric meds are really complicated and different from person to person. So yeah I sympathise how difficult it must be for you guys.

I'm not a McD fan but I do love KFC! MmMmMmm chicken yummy wonderful fattiness... wait sorry I'm back now. Yeah so I gotta keep away from that stuff.

I love Anglo-American differences like the whole biscuits/scone thing. I chuckled when I heard they have 'biscuits and gravy' over there because it just sounds vile if you think of british biscuits in british gravy. But I have been lead to believe it's more like a savoury scone in a white sauce kind of thing (please someone from the US correct me if I'm wrong?!).

End of weird rant :) x
 
Holly you are not wrong! I was thinking about biscuits and gravy but didn't want the responsibility of explaining it, haha. I personally detest biscuits and gravy together, although I like them separately. What is British gravy like? The kind we use with biscuits is white, pretty thick, flour-based, sometimes with little sausage chunks.
 
US versions of the following:

Biscuits - light, fluffy, buttery, melt in your mouth. Baked in the oven. Outsides are crisp, insides are moist. Sometimes have bits of shredded cheese mixed in. Soooo good!

Gravy - sausage drippings, with bits of sausage still in it, cream and flour, thick and maybe even a bit lumpy. Heavenly!

All this talk of biscuits and gravy is making me HUNGRY!!!

Afternoon my beautiful, gorgeous, soon-to-be-skinny WLF friends!

My night shift was actually pretty fun last night. Spent 4.5 hours reading this awesome historical novel by Phillipa Gregory and then played Final Fantasy 7 until it was time to wake the kid up :D Excellent. *ignores looming pile of Uni work*

Todayyy I slept, and now I've just made crumpets and spring veg soup for late lunch. Am planning on having a little wine tonight but we'll see. Am having spanish style wedges, and either gammon grill steak/turkey dinosaurs/kiev tonight with some rice :D Very excited.

Am I the only one who, whilst eating one meal, is already planning later meals? I am ruled by my stomach!

My friend finally posted my tattoo design on teh interwebs :) It's still having some changes (thinner stalks for the sweetpeas and bigger sweetpea flowers) but I'm in love with it :D

See below for ze picture of the design :D She's drawing me up on in colour to get an idea of shades and stuff!

Weighed in the same this morning but only stopped eating at like 6am so it's to be expected I guess. We'll see what happens tomorrow x
 
Breakfast:
Lunch: spring veg soup (90) 2 crumpets (170)
Dinner: gammon grill (300) rice (200) wedges (280)
Snack: wine (280) twiglets (96)

Total: 1416
Exercise: 30 min walk

Hi HANA

My name is Ashley and I saw you write on Hanabi's wall.
I am looking to lose the stubborn last 20 or so pounds that have been clinging to my abs and thighs since puberty really.

I am so proud of your weight loss, that's pretty amazing for one years time.
You must be very focused and have a good head on your shoulders.

Well good luck, keep it up and stay away from that Evil cheese!

Afternoon everyone! I thought it was about time to start a new diary..I've had the same one since I joined in Jan of this year and whilst I'm very proud of going from obese to normal in 8 months, I feel that since I started my new job progress has been slow and I've lost the desire to fight the flab!

hey Sunflower! Sounds like you are in a positively great mood today!!! Nice tattoo but I don't think its appropriate for your forehead. Just in case you were thinking of there.

I plan many many meals ahead! In fact, some days, food is all I think of....

You do eat a lot of crumpets and twig lets LOL! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
 
Katie: I'm getting it on my left shoulder blade and up over my shoulder just a tiny bit :D Not toooo big but about two hands size! Very exciting. Only getting it when I've dropped another 10lbs though!

Hey Ashley, thanks for stopping by my diary :) Thank you very much for the compliments :D I'll try and stay away from that cheese but no promises!!

Jay, wont be getting it on my forehead, I promise ;)

Akani, I do indeed eat a lot of crumpets and twiglets! They are my favourites :D


------------------------------------------------------------------

Well yesterday was going great until dinner time! Yank wanted to celebrate thanksgiving so we got booze and ordered pizzas :( No bloody turkey though! At least that would have been slightly healthy!!! Anyway, I had a WHOLE PIZZA! It was a thin crust one but still, my pores are ooooozing grease this morning. Not sexy. And it's my TOM. So I feel SUPER! However, scales are still saying 179 so can't complain too much considering I usually put on 2-3lbs when I'm on my period.

I've signed up for another night shift tonight (really need the money!) but it's in a house much closer to home AND they have a "carers room"! At the house I work in right now they have a hard-back chair. Literally. That's it. No tea or coffee. No TV. No books/magazines. It's so dull. :ack2:

This one they have a TV with all the movie channels, tea and coffee, a fridge full of snacks THAT I MUST RESIST and magazines and lots of lovely stuffs to play with *grins*
I'm quite excited to go. Going to buy food from a Tesco's nearby the house as we are running out of food here :( Will try to make healthy choices. It wont matter too much as I've slept all day today to prepare for tonight so it's 3pm here and I've not eaten yet.
Bad news is that my Grama is coming Saturday morning to see me and Yank so I'll get home at 8pm (if I'm lucky) and get to sleep around 8:30am and then I'm up at 11am :( Sad panda.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving xx


Breakfast: -
Lunch: 2 snack-a-jacks (80) 3 ryvitas with butter (121) pineapple (54)
Dinner: Yank's lovely burritos! seeded wrap thing (170) lean beef mince (100) cheese (40) salad.

Total: 565 but will have around 900 calories of night shift food. So will take half into this days calories making it 1015.

Love the tatoo design.
My mouth waters everytime you mention twiglets. There is one shop here that sometimes has them so I will definitely be getting some in for christmas. The problem will be trying not to eat them before Christmas as I will buy them as soon as I see them in the shop. I used to be able to get through one of those big tubs at one sitting until my kids learnt to like them and I had to share. My husband still thinks that marmite and twiglets are some sort of joke food that nobody really likes.
