AJoh They are going to be my next planned (or maybe unplanned lol) treat for definite! I'm going to work really hard to lose weight this month but on the 1st of October (I just wrote August, whats wrong with me!) I'm going to eat 9 of them heavenly little buggers. And Jaspers to blame for the halloumi cheese And Asda for accidentally giving me two packets instead of one. I swear that fate intervenes on all occasions to make me eat bad foods that are recommended on here. I'm just waiting for a banoffee pie to fall out the sky and hit me on the head
Kate Thanks.You've already whizzed past the two stone mark! You are doing amazingly and I have got no doubt your going to get all lovely and slim.
Jasper Thank you sweetie
Rider Thanks for stopping by I still remember being green with envy every time I looked at someone elses diary who were almost at their goal as well, I can't believe the conveyor belt has moved me along so I'm almost there. If I can do it then you can too! Will look if you've got a diary....

Q2... How tall are you? Do you like your height? I am 5 foot 9, when fully erect I used to hate my height. I was so self concious and always stooped a bit or bending my knees in an effort to look shorter. I felt gawky and ugly and I hated standing out. My foster mum was very short and used to make comments about my height every so often. Things like "Tall girls like Ruth are the ones who get left on the shelf, short girls can have whatever man they want" (I have just thought of a witty reply, 11 years later- and that is "I won't get left on the shelf, but I can reach the top shelf". Better late than never...). Anyway, my height "grew" on me Probably when I was about 21 I stopped giving a toss, although I still hate it when I am standing in a queue or something with lots of little people. The winter boots I've just bought have a 3cm heel. I actually like wearing them because its like I'm saying "Yep, I'm tall and PROUD of it, baby, YEAH!". But one disadvantage of being tall is that I would never have the front to wear 4 inch heels. And its a shame, because there are so many pretty shoes out there. At least I'm not wrecking my feet. Anyway... That is my answer I like my height 85%. Not sure what this has to do with weight loss, but there y'go!
Totally boring and irrelevant news that is boring and irrelevant: My little Charlie monster started his new school today and came back slightly hysterical. Mainly in a happy way, but hysterical all the same. I hope he adjusts to it soon. I bought my superposh ex display hoover today!!!! I am so excited lol. Its a £480 hoover, and I got it for half price. It's really powerful and will last for 20 odd years or so. It has a super long lasting rechargeable battery, so I can zoom around the whole house and stairs without worrying about any wires. I have got through about a hoover a year so far, so I think its worth the extra money.
Food
Porridge
Thai red curry with basmati rice
450 calories of halloumi.
a2 slices melon, aplle and 2 plums.

Ah Ruth, what can i say you are doing so so great i want to smack you im so jealous!! ( only kidding could never hurt your beautiful face!! )
I know what you mean, 9/11 has haunted me ever since it happened when i was 11, i still remember it like it was yesterday. I honestly thought it was the end of the world that day in September, we can only pray for the victims still and their families. So so sad.

AHahaha - I hope that banoffee pie doesn't injure you... And yes, halloumi is TO DIE FOR! It's okay if you use it as a meat substitute like I do sometimes. I make Palak Paneer with it (like a spinach curry with cubes of that cheese - to die for) or sometimes eggplant and halloumi burgers with tzatziki. Also to die for. In fact, anything with halloumi is to die for. mmmmm
And you are planning NINE of them? NINE? Really? I think six would suffice
It is SO interesting about your height - I think it definitely DOES relate to weight loss. For me, being tall (6ft, 184cm) is okay (I like it about 50% actually. I'd love to be your height - a little tall but much more normal looking) when you are feeling good about yourself. But it can make me a total agoraphobe when I'm overweight. It makes me feel monstrous. The thing I HATE is never ever ever ever havig the change to feel inconspicuous. Ever.I always stick out - people are always looking at me. And if I feel like they are only looking at me because I'm tall, I can kind of deal with that. But if they are looking because I am tall AND huge (like... tall people are always rakes, right?) then I just want to hide away and never come out. So for me, the height and weight issue is really connected.
Your foster mum.... that is so bloody awful. I came to that realisation all on my own without any assistance from anyone else, and I can't imagine how hurtful it would have been to be a teenage girl and to hear that. My mum is actually really short too - 5 ft 2. She always just laughs about it, and says that when I was eleven she had to start looking up at me to tell me off. Ah, bless her.
xxx mmm thai curry mmmm

AI was completely shattered last night cos I spent ages on the dancing machine yesterday. Its so fun! I'm not as good as I used to be, but I'll get the hang of it again soon!
Princess Please don't haha!
Joh and little beanie Just googled palak paneer and it looks nice! I have had my eye on a calorific cauliflower bhaji recipe for a while now. It wouldn't be quite so bad having it with lots of veggies like that. I feel an Indian coming on!
The lady in the sunbed shop just gave nick some free tickets to the circus. What's the betting they'll have banoffee pie instead of custard pies, and a clown will throw one in my face?
I think your right about height being linked with weight, I used to feel a bit like hagrid from harry potter standing next to people sometimes.
My foster mum was lovely generally. If it wasn't for her I don't know what sort of person I would have become. But yep, she was a bit funny about height and weight and stuff although she was overweight herself. But them sorts of stuff were not the right thing to say when I hated the way I looked so much I wouldn't even look in a mirror bigger than a compact.
Ooooh yes, my Thai curry is the best! Nicks dad and his new gf (who is like 30 years younger than him!) are coming over for dinner soon. Think I might cook that and a lemon merringue pie for afters (just a little slice for moi)
Lost another 2lbs since last week, so 6.5 altogether since last month. I must say that I am hating the mechanical scales though. I like to know the decimal point, and I can't seethe notches on the diet properly to see my exact weight. Its annoying. I got a bit of paper, put it on top of the numbers so I could see for sure where the dial stopped.

Q3. Who is your fitsperation, and what features do you like about this person?
My thinsperation is Lady Gaga. I think she is slim, and soft looking, but she still has muscle definition and a gently curvy body.
Last nights dinner....
Yesterday
porridge
2 slices watermelon amd a medium sized mango
Sushi and Japanese salad
Galaxy chocolate (Tsk)
Apple
5 coffees (with sugar, maybe that's why I craved the chocolate)
Lots of dance machine "exercising"

AJasper I have got no idea how many cals it burns. I get a bit sweaty on the fast songs and they last a couple of minutes. So I guess that 12 songs is a good workout. And I am definitely gonna do at least 12 every day! I would love to know gaga too, I like the things she says and does as well as her figure. Charlie is still completely manic when he comes back from school, hitting Lily and running from room to room. He is just all over the place. But he does love it. Wish I could just ask him about his day and what he did and how he is finding it.
Joh Charlie loves sushi, Lily hates it, and nick is all funny about eating it, he won't even try it! God knows why! So I sent them off packing to the fish and chip shop The kids love the magic beans. I will do a vid of me doing the dancing machine tomorrow. You've got to promise not to laugh though!
Food today has been shit. I was just in a bingeylicious mood. And I am so annoyed at myself for giving into my desires twice. Must have eaten around 900 calories worth arrgghhh. I can't trust myself with sugar, even in my coffee because one taste makes me want more and more and more. I went to the proper weighing machine, and it weighed me at a pound heavier than my scales, but I was dressed.
Today has been rather boring. I went out and bought loads of cleaning products I got my new hoover delivered today and its amazing. Gonna spend the whole weekend cleaning everything, windows, walls, sofas, matresses, quilts, curtains etc... Isn't my life so exciting lol. I am seriously poor after my recent shopping and ebay expeditions, I only have £40 in the bank. Arrggghhh. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now I can't buy stuff from ebay. Will have to sell some stuff maybe lol.

Day 04 - Your greatest fears about weight loss.
My greatest fear isn't so much about losing the weight, its about keeping it off! I have been here before... feeling GREAT not having to buy clothes based on their ability to cover me up anymore, full of energy.... Then of course I regained all I lost and more 2 years later. It crept on so slowly that I didn't notice it. First of all I was just buying 12's as a temporary measure tll I was a 10 again. Then I was buying 14's as a temporary measure till I was a 12 again, then before I knew it I was unable to do up size 16 jeans. I know this is a negative way of looking at it, but I just hate myself for putting that weight back on in the first place! I really hope I learn my lesson. Getting a tummy tuck will really help me with my maintenance, definitely for about 6 or 7 years. I just can't shake of the feeling that in a decade I will be fat again.
Food Tonight.... Wasn't great. It was thai salmon with a sweet chilli marinade. I was supossed to have a cucumber, red onion and coriander salad with it but I forgot the cucumber and ran out of coriander so I left it.
Food
3 weetabix with loads of sugar.
2 sugary coffees
Packet of crisps
3 mini donuts
180g yoghurt coated peanut (about 700 cals)
2 coffees
salmon with rice
2 slices honeydew melon
Exercise
About 15 goes of dance dance revolution
An hour walking.

AIt's great that you can send them down for fish and chips and not have any yourself! I don't know how I'd manage to resist having a couple of chips... Is Nick still showing a bit of interest in being on a health-track?
You are so totally right about the sugar thing. One taste just brings on all that bingey goodness. Where are all your vegetables? None all day! Bad girl. At least you had some fruit at the end of the day (meanwhile, i can't stand honeydew melon. It's nice a nothing fruit.)
Was the salmon nice? I had salmon too and it was TO DIE FOR. I love salmon so much! If I was a millionaire, I'd have it in some form or other for breakfast, lunch and dinner. nomnomnm
