General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

WOWWWWWW You are SO CLOSE! Bloody tickers... we'll have to sort soemthing else out. I mean, especially for when you hit healthy! There needs to be a big fat "I AM HEALTHY' at the bottom of every page! :)


Size 12 jeans, girl - that is bloody incredible. Congrats!


Love that you are going Saladonian (don't think I could do it... I'd be more of a soupish girl) and I LOOOVE your wednesday and sunday plan! Just make sure you still post your foods even on your days when you can eat what you want.


xx 2.5pounds! Insanity!
 
AI know what you mean. I can be so lazy at times aswell. I loved it when i used to go to the gym, but then i stopped it and cant really afford to go anymore, and i just cba with jogging outside, me and my boyfriend might be getting a treadmill, well we're looking for a second hand one online. Although i doubt he will use it :p the thing is, i dont like having to think where im going to run, just want to turn my brain off and not bump into any people aswell, so treadmill would be nice xD So at the moment I just try and go on a bit of a walk most days 30-45 mins, its enough tbh, and a bit of exercises at home, star jumps, lunges, crunches and what not!

My recipe that i made was very bland. Ive been looking at the bbc goodfood website, and ive written down the ingrediants for 3 recipes im going to make next week :)

Its so great that you're already buying clothes in a size 10! cus you just know you'll get there right? :) Ive actually sorta vowed to do no shopping for a while, went a bit over the top with it these past few months, though tbf ive had to chuck a good 3 black bags of clothes into our junk room for now, either too old/too big or worn.
I would love to be a size 10!! it would just be amazing ^^ I think im like a 14 atm which is not too terrible.

How much do you weigh atm may I ask?

I hope it works out with your eyebags, its ridiculous that they would even try to make you pay more when you're completely not satisfied with it and have shown her comparison pictures. But i guess they will try to squeeze you for all you've got. Though as some of the others have said It really doesnt look bad to begin with, its just how you feel about it yourself. I have an issue with my ears, cus they stick out quite a bit, i think if i had the money i might think about sorting it out but im really unsure. My boyfriend says no one even sees them its just me. But ive been uncomfortable with them ever since I was like 11 and some little boy took the mickey out of me lol and thats just stuck with me so far!! Nowadayys I just tend to tie my hair back and think fuck it!! and try and just be comfortable with myself how I am.

Hope you have fun at the seaside and enjoy your ONE dounut :p hehe
 
AAww, thanks jasper! My day today certainly hasn't been inspiring tho :eek: is Jasper your real name?

Joh- The girl who makes the decisions I was going to go saladonian, but then I looked at all the lovely Italian recipes I have saved, and I thought I will do italian 5 days next week. So I'm making fresh pasta ravioli, gnocchi, risotto and another couple of bits and bobs. And Bruchetta! Yum. My shopping's coming in the morning.

Becky You are so active. A treadmills a great idea, and this is the perfect time of the year to get one of ebay (as I imagine there is more bidders in the new year and at the start of summer). Look on bargain checker for misspelled treadmills on ebay, I've got loads of cheap stuff that way.

Most weeks I make a vat load of creamy pasta for the fridge (lunches, and if one of the kids doesn't like what I've cooked that night), it really nice. What I do is weigh an equal amount of plain flour and butter. Melt the butter on a low heat, and mix in the flour. Then slowly add some milk, mixing it like a mad woman so there is no lumps, you need quite a lot of milk. Bring it to the boil (stiringstiringstiring), then turn the heat to the lowest one. Chuck in a handful of frozen spinach, some strong cheese (and some garlic and onions you've fried if your feeling flash), and some salt. Wait till the spinach has defrosted, then its done.

Sort out your junk room :) Get rid of it ALL!!! It feels great! Then you can stick your treadmill in it, and it can be like a little gym :)

I weigh 12 stone 4, I'm 5 foot 9, my bmi is 25.5 :)

Yeah, I do too! If I don't hear from the doctor by tomorrow like she said I will be majorly pissed off. I got my hopes up once thinking they were going to go, but they didn't. Now my hopes are up again. If she lets me down again and has been lying to me/misleading me about being a model, I will bloody complain. And try and get my money back, because it really isn't fair. Rant over! You should have your ears pinned if it makes you feel better :) I don't see cosmetic surgery as being that different to losing weight, or even getting your hair cut or having your teeth whitened- if there is something that isn't perfect, just change it. I don't think that prominent ears are anywhere near as bad as sagging bits and pieces tho, so your fine!

I read your post ages ago, but sort of got sidetracked with looking at cosmetic surgery for myself :eek:

I think I might go to Prague. I have heard LOADS of people say what a beautiful city it is, and I would love to see it for myself. I have found a surgeon and clinic that a lot of people have recommended, I like the look of their website, and its a beautiful hospital. Return flights for the family are £600. Which is fine. A tummy tuck there is £2200 (5 months of saving, already saved some, although not last month because of my eyebags). The whole thing is dependant on me finding someone who lives in Prague to holiday home swap with. On a site called homelink there are 7 people who would consider England. I wouldn't leave my kids for two weeks, NO WAY! Would like to go there for three weeks, a week before the tt, so I can have a little holiday, then two weeks recovering. It would be much nicer to recover in a house, with a kitchen, and a bedroom, than in a hotel room with the kids going out of their minds! It will take more organising, but that's the way I want to do it. If anyone knows anyone in Prague who isn't a thief or an arsonist, who wants to house swap with me in Februaryish next year, then let me know :D

As well as twatting about looking for cosmetic surgeons, I have also been making outfit moodboards. This one has the cardigan I have already bought (in size 10) in it. I ent for Autumn colours as they are in fashion, think it might need a bit more brightness tho.

Went to southend today with my mate tash. It was a day suited to overeating, as she has just broken up with her boyfriend and is 35 weeks pregnant :(

Food
Superfood chicken salad
apple crumble and custard, shared.
Hot chocolate with cream
Yorkie chocolate
Shreddies.

Last bad day :eek:
 
AHeya girly

Have you changed your setting in your account? And you have to cut and paste the one above the one you have done. For your ticker.....Am i making sence? probably not lol :)
 
AHey, thanks, but im not THAT active :p haha. Treadmills are expensive puhh, rather get a crosstrainer but its for the both of us and we agreed on a treadmill. Il have a check on ebay! Ive just been using this 2nd hand website for people selling stuff here in holland and theres a couple but they're either too expensive or manual ones :S not sure how well a manual one would work tbh.
Im definitely going to clean out the junk room ones of these days...weeks lol. Its so messy arrghhh. I wouldnt know what to do with any of the stuff in there, I might just be pro active and get a start on it today!

I'll have to try that creamy pasta recipe! sounds dead simple. Ive never really knew how you make a creamy sauce. Im not sure how keen i am on spinach, i tried it once and i wasnt mad on it, but mixed in with the sauce and pasta it cant be that bad.

I think i might get my ears pinned back tbh. I mean once ive lost the rest of this weight it will just be the final touch lol, well i hope i dont have saggy areas, then ill have more things to worry about. I seem to be tightening up nicely so fingers crossed.

How much more weight do you want to lose? Its annoying without these tickers...cant work it out lol.

Thats a cool idea getting a house swap while you're away having your tummy tuck. How come you want to go abroad for it, is it cheaper or something?
 
AIts not like your climbing mountains/playing sports all day (like some people round ere :)), but you make an effort and do lots of walking plus extra exercise.

You can't really taste the spinach that much in the cheesy sauce. you could always add bacon, onion and peas instead tho.

I want to lose around another 2 stone, although it could be more or less, its my drrrream to get into a size 8.

I just decided to try on my silver sequin dress again. The zip didn't do up any more than last time. So I took off my bra as it was quite padded, then did up the zip with it off, and put it over my shoulders, to see if I could winch it down with the zip done up. It got stuck! I couldn't get the thing off so I screamed NIIIIIICCCKK, HELP MEEEEEE!!!!! To my bf. I was holding my boobs with one arm and had the other arm on my stomach, he couldn't get it unzipped though and I was very stressy and claustrophobic by this point. So I decided to abandon all modestly, and let it all hang out with my arms over my head. We were both standing up, which made it more awkward, so I thought I would drop to my knees to give him more leverage (like jack and the giant turnip), As I dropped down I got an almighty pain in my quad, he was pulling, I was naked and in agony. He eventually pulled the bloody dress off, and I was writhing in pain on the hallway floor. He was l;laughing and saying what a great youtube vid it would make, don't think he quite realised how painful my leg was. I ended up crying cos it hurt so badly. I can't put any pressure on it, it really hurts. I did the same muscle a couple of times when I was a kid, I'd forgotten about the weeks I spent in agony then. I won't be able to go to badminton and swimming tomorrow because of it, or the zoo on Sunday. I am gutted. I have just eaten a maple syrup sandwich cos I feel sorry for myself. I feel bad for moaning though as I know that Joh and Tete's pains are much worse than mine.

And... my shoppings just been delivered, and they have given me a pack of 9 blue ribands small chocolate things by accident. And I know I'm going to eat them. I'm in the house on my own with a good book I'm enjoying calling me. And everyone knows that readings much better when you are doing it eating chocolate. Hope they haven't left anything out of my shopping.

Diet starts again properly tomorrow.
 
AOH BLOODY HELLL that is awful. And all this happened because of your hot new dress! How effing horrible! I totally understand that feelig of claustraphobia when something like that happens... happened to me at the op shop yesterday and I panicked that I'd end up falling out of the changeroom half naked...

Sorry you are in so much pain, lovely girl. Yeah it could be worse, but hey - it is still a totally horrible thing to happen. And it is SO SHITE that you can't go to baddie! BOO to thaT! I'd be having a maple syrup sandwich too (okay, so a blue cheese sandwich, but that's just me)

"Its not like your climbing mountains/playing sports all day (like some people round ere)" hehehehehehehehehehehehe. Too bad I'm a fuking invalid. Ankle's playing up again so we can whine together.

Can't wait to hear about the bruschetta!

P.S. Got any interesting post lately?
 
AAhhhhh JOH!!!!!! My bf had stashed the postcard without telling me!!!!! I have got such a humongous grin on my face right now :D Thank yoooou hun, its made my day!!!!!! xxxhugsxxx

And do you know what, I am still going to go to badminton tomorrow. A lot of it is just standing around and watching them demonstrate things. So I'll go even though I can only hit the shuttlecock without moving my legs. If all else fails I can always strip to my underwear and hide behind the racket :D

I know, I've changed it to the rich code editor, and then BB code at least 10 times now, and it doesn't work either way. I am majorly sulking.

Food
shreddies 400ish
Maple syrup sandwich (!) 400ish
9 blue ribands 900
2 kiwis, 2 plums, 2 necatines and a banana 370ish
=2070ish Oh dear.

:grouphug: O rainbow....I could laugh and cry at your story!! My poor dear!! But on the positive...that slammin dress zipped!! :blush5: I hope you feel better soon....any injury is bad...you have a right to moan about it if you want!!! When you are all healed up you will be a super star at badminton!!


Reading on a raining day in my sunroom watching the rain fall all over the windows...with a big bowl of M&Ms and a cup of tea...is on the top of my favorite "me time" things...so I totally understand!!! :biggrin:
 
AHiya Rainbow :p I suppose I do try to be as active as possible. We went out for dinner yesterday, walked there (10 mins), walked to the shop afterwards (2) then back home from there (12mins) then when we went to the pub we walked there and back aswell, which is about 30 minutes but tbh the amount of food and drink we had that little bit of walking will have made no difference haha oh well, at least i tried..a little. When i get my crosstrainer/treadmill im gonna workout all the time tbh!

That recipes sounds more appealing with bacon, onion and peas! Thanks.

Omg, the dress story...thats awful that you hurt yourself in the process, the dress didnt break or anything did it? Sorta reminded me of a time when i was 11 or something, and i had just put my nightie on, on my bunk bed, and my sister screamed that there was a spider on my back, so i yanked the nightie off as quick as i could screaming and crying, and my dad came in all like whats wrong?!? and i was all naked with my little 11 year old boobs exposed, embarresed to hell and feeling ridiculous haha. Omg, sorry just thought id share that :p lol

:D

There was no way I could've walked to badminton this morning :( Did manage to limp my way down to the shop though. Strangely enough, it felt a bit better after, so I spent 5 hours sorting out my house and did about 10 loads of washing and ironing. My house is almost completely organised now! Just have to do the cubby hole underneath the stairs and a couple more cupboards, and my house will be completely clutter free except the ebay stuff that I have to send off. Gonna buy a shitload of packaging stuff tomorrow and spend all day wrapping it up. I am gutted because we were supposed to be going to the zoo, but that'll have to wait till next week. My bum is hurting now where I've been walking weirdly. Blah.

Technically I can eat whatever the hell I want for dinner, as long as it isn't over 700 calories, as I don't each lunch. Which is why I can just about get away with Italian. I have a lot of cheeses in my fridge tho! Eeek. I was tidying up till late, so I did an Indian meal tonight as it was really quick. Italian stuff starts tomorrow tho!

I've done alright today, wasn't really feeling it, but reading about other peoples great days has given me a boost. Oooh, just added up my calories and I have done fabulously. I also haven't had any sweetener in my coffee today, and its not awful without it. I want to stop eating artificial sweeteners.

Food
Shreddies and milk 288
Large banana and 2 kiwis 213
Indian rice with sultanas, cinnamon and spices, with a tiny bit of TINNED curry :/ It was rank. 427
Apple 75
4 coffees 100
=1103 :)
 
Asounds like u did great today!!!!Loved the rice meal it sounds lovely!!cinamon>>???love it never tryied it w/rice it must be lovely!
How did u make it?and what spices did u use!?please tell!

Dont worry you can go next week to the zoo!
I belive that every obsticle is for good,i really do.
So maybe there was a reason u got stuck in the dress , hurt your leg and finally not be able to go to the zoo...I probably sound crazy right now dont i????Sorry!!!
 
Great to know that you have nearly orgainised your house!! You are a SUPERWOMAN!!


You are doing consistently good at staying within your calories! Day 1 of a '4day NOM NOM', im finding it hard to eat the way i was before:( But its nice to read how positive you are, gives me positive thoughts!!


Well done Ruth!!xoxox
 
ASunday! Can't wait to see what your food is today. AND YUMMMY rice! You should try it with nutmeg instead of cinnamon one time - it'll blow your socks off.

Bugger about badminton, but you'll be better soon my lovely. x
