General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

you and your awesome food!! I had soup and a cheese sandwhich for dinner!! wasn't any thing new and sure wasn't so pretty!!! lol....But you will be proud of me today....I tried snap peas..they tasted like grass!! but I'll throw them in a salad and it will be ok...hey baby steps...baby steps ;)
 
I think you are a little miracle worker in the way that you are always making and trying new things. Also, it comes in handy when someone wants the recipe and you can just pop a link up!

How do you decide what to cook? is there some 'random' button you press? Do you wander the supermarket and decide 'yes, duck tonight' then find a recipe when you get home?

Can't wait to give you the thousands of exclamation marks you deserve once you reach a healthy BMI!!! Not long to go! Wow, you've stuck with this one so well, lovely girl. Proud of ya. xx
 
Go on Tete :D Today, sugar snaps, tomorrow, sheeps brain :) They taste good with a nice dressing. I agree that they are a bit grassy on their own, baaaaa.

I used to spend hours deciding what to eat :eek: I think its gonna be a bit quicker now I've decided to do a different nationality of food each week- this week is French. I refine my search on bbcgoodfood by nationality and main course, then save the healthiest ones "to my binder" then um and ahhh for a little while over the seven dishes I like the best. Then do my shopping online.

Yeah, my friday is going well :D I spent all this morning ridiculously hungry, but the hungries seem to have disappeared for the time being :) Which is just as well because I haven't got a single bit of fruit in the house.

A girl I was friends with when I was 15 commented on my facebook that I'd inspired her to go on a diet :)

I have spent ages mucking about on Online Makeup Artist and Hairstylist - TAAZ Online Makeovers Giving myself new hairstyles and a makeover. I'm definitely gonna get my hair cut soon, it hasn't been this bad in ages. I always get bright slices of colour in my hair (pink, blue etc...) I think I'm going to become a proper grown up and just have brown hair. I have also St. Tropezed myself, and given myself a manicure and pedicure. Nick took the kids out so it was nice to sit around and be selfish. To hell with the cleaning!

I tried tuna for the first time ever (apart from a miniscule bit in shop bought sushi), it smelt horrible, but it tasted quite nice actually. I did a tuna nicose, its in my top 5 favourite salads I think.

Food
70g shreddies with whole milk
2 small kiwis
Tin of ratatouille
slice of white toast
Tuna nicose salad
handful of sultanas.

Exercise
Nada.

French fries are common on steak and chicken salads around here....so I think I woukd like those little baby roasters a lot.... looks yummy!!!!
 
yummy yummy!!!!oh that salad look so tasty!
I cant belive you never had tuna!well then i think i have never had duck....I love tuna!but only one brand.I think we got sick once from a cheap brand i bought

That girl looks super!Shes another person,i love her pics too,its so inspiring and full of hope for the rest of us!
I used to want to get a piece of my hair done in dark blue,but never came around doing it!It does semms a bit crazy but if your character can pull it of why not?I love your red hair colour now though.I love makeover!Hope when you get yours you'll post pics!

Your words are still echoing my mind...NO BISCUITS FOR ME NO BISCUITS FOR YOU!!!thanks!
 
Tete Oooh really? I thought that French fries would be served beside salad rather than on it. I'm sure its nice (like the roasties on the nicose), but unexpected to me. New potatoes are common on salads in England.

Jasper I have a bit of a phobia of fish after being force fed it by a teacher when I was a kid with all the class (and the teacher) laughing at me as I was crying. She even got a polaroid camera and took a picture of me. Then showed it to my mum at parents evening! I got an extra special yellow fin tuna steak in spring water, not the tinned stuff. Not quite brave enough for that.

Yeah she does doesn't she :D She must be so happy. My afters will look nothing like that!

Here's a couple of the virtual makeovers I did, the first hairstyle would be the one that I would probably normally go for, the second is what I think I'm going to do this time.... Hope it doesn't come out too big!

The day that I gained half an inch
I measure myself every day, and I think my excessive use of the tape measure has stretched it :( I found a new tape measure in my sewing box, and I've gone up by half an inch everywhere. I thought my waist was 31 3/4, but its 32 1/3. I was so happy to be in the 31 inches. Humph. About to go swimming with the kiddies, I get so hungry after swimming, so I thought I'd leave going until late afternoon so we can come back and eat dinner straight away.

I like the second one!I love that cut.I always wanted short hair but never did it cause my face was too big plus i thing its round shapped....So then i meet my husband that has a thing for LONG hair....I like the cut and colour.
Im too waiting for some money to go to the hairdressers.I always have mine red!Love red hair!!!any red!

Why did the teacher do that to you????and why take a photo and also show your parents.It sound really awfull and EVIL.

Now about after looks , dont be so sure you not going to look super like that girl does!You ALREADY look super so imagine with some more pounds and inches gone.I know you want a tummy tuck and you said you have loose skin.So ok maybe your tummy will need some work done but i am sure you are going to be gorgeous , just because you alredy do!so pound by pound imagine what the result is going to be like!!!!!
 
Ooooh love the hair pictures......The red one is really cool. I am gonna go red on monday!! so excited.

Don't worry about the tape measure the new one is faulty....Stick with the one you started with (that's what i reckon anyway) :)
 
You are such a such a creative person!

Thanks for sharing Shawns photos. She's done an amazing job of weightloss. I love her skinny legs and little bum. I hope that tattoo will wash off though. I hope we all reach that sort of thing - cute in a bikini. It saddens me a little when people give up right at the beginning.

I think the red hair will be nice on you. Much nicer than the photo.
 
Haha, in that case I'll stretch it a bit more :)

I only dyed my hair red three weeks ago. THREE! Its already faded and looking like shit! I love red and ginger hair too, but it washes out so easily. I was just thinking... that's practically the exact hair style (and colour) I had before when I was skinny, I'm wondering if I picked it subconsciously, as I normally get my hair cut above my shoulders. And the other thing is, I also just bought a dress that is white with black polka dots. One of the nights I felt the best when I was skinny was when I was wearing a size 8 polka dot dress in the vip bit of a posh club. I might be trying to recapture that feeling. I'll see if I can find a pic....

Sigh..... then I spent months and months of eating cake, and put on 5 stone. :) Still, at least I've lost half of it now!

Yes, that teacher was a complete bitch. She was always having a go at me for decorating my writing books with little stars and flowers in different coloured biros. My mum didn't believe that she had made me eat it, then she was like "oh, that did happen" after parents day. She used to name the tables... there was the brainy table, the chatty table, the naughty table and the stupid table!!! How awful is that? She moved me off the brainy table onto the stupid table when I borrowed someone's colouring pencils without asking. I didn't mind that much cos my best friend at the time sat on that table. She had meybes syndrome, and the corners of her mouth didn't go up. She is mega brainy though (and I have a respectable IQ although I'm sure most people wouldn't believe it haha). I think its horrible how she put labels on people like that. And then... by some weird co-incidence she taught me English in year 9 of my secondary school (about 30 miles from my primary). She was still all sarcastic and horrible to me.

Dinner tonight was lovely. My bf was in raptures about how tender the pork was all the way through :) And I usually need to bully him for an opinion haha. The sauce looks like baby sick but was lovely

And, omg, just noticed that even my green eyeshadow is the same in my skinny pic and my virtual makeover pic. And my stupid grin, which I hardly ever do as I don't like my smile. And my tan!!! Haven't worn fake tan for AGES, but decided to put in on before I did the virtual makeover.

I am trying to recreate the 21 year old me haha. How did I not see that earlier?
 
You are really an amazing Cook!

I get that youre recapturing the feeling! I have à dress that fit perfectly for a short while in the year 2000. It has traveled with me ever since and whenever I recalled feeling 'thin' I would think of that dress. Today I actually tried it on and it was a perfect fit, :)
 
I love the makeover photos! :D And I like more the second picture.. :)

Ive never dyed my hair to other colours than blonde. Ive always had blonde.. Ive never had short haircut either. Hmm.. But Ive noticed that pretty hair changes a lot look.
 
TOTALLY agree - you are an amazing cook! Totally inspiring. I have my staples and stick to them... I might try your weekly globe-trotting myself!

And LOVE the pic of you in the polka dot dress - and the fact you are reigniting that spark that was inside you when you were 21. The haircut looks awesome - I'd defintiely go for the second one! And it looks great in the polka dot picture! Hehehe it's so funny to read your realisation of attempts to recreate your 21 year old self. :)

How did you feel with the swimming yesterday? I know you were worried about it last time...
