General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

Heya sweetie.
Love the pic of you in the polka dot frock. I bet that is a great insentive to keep going!

Where are you today hun?

Xxx
 
p.s. when does your top secret exciting idea come to fruition? the one that I think had something to do with work... and an interview???
 
Thanks :) Well bloody done sweatdaily, that must feel AMAZING! I can't imagine how great you must feel :D How much have you lost?

I thought you were a natural blonde Eerika, your hair really suits your colouring. I flirted with the idea of going lighter, but I've got a peroxided slice in the side of my hair and it feels like straw, so I don't think I'd risk it unless I was going short and It would be growing out quickly. Yeah, I think a nice haircut completely changes a persons look if it wasn't great before.

Swimming yesterday was LOADS better than the first time :) I think it was mainly because the pool wasn't crowded and full of women in bikinis, most women in there were around my size this time. I do feel really self concious of my saggy flubbery tum though. It was a session for disabled people and their families. I didn't realise that it was free!!!! Yep, free!!! You have to pay £3.60 for a second adult, but that's still great compared to the £13 it normally costs. So I'll be going every Saturday evening from now on.

The bbc good food website keeps going down. I was starving hungry and just though "Fuckit" and got a pizza. Which I can semi justify. What I can't justify really is that I have got a big bar of fruit and nut chocolate sitting here waiting for me too eat it. I have had the miseries all day. Found some naughties my bf has been up to on the computer. Every day. He was using internet explorer instead of firefox for it and hadn't even bothered to delete the history. And we still haven't had sex. I've got a splitting headache. The idea of the chocolate doesn't seem quite so good now, but I know I'm going to eat some. I might put myself to the test and see if I can manage to only eat half. I'm reading a brilliant book called "the host" by Stephanie Meyer at the moment, so I think I'm going to have one square every other page. I've almost finished.

Last night there was constant fire engines and police cars going past the end of my road for about 20 minutes, just found out there was a riot 10 minutes away from me, loads of buildings and cars got set on fire and all the shops were looted. Apparently the people who started the riots are planning more in the area. Would love to do a bit of looting haha. Would be like supermarket sweep, but with diamonds instead. Now, where's my balaclava :)

Food
Porridge
1 1/2 slice of toast and marg.
6 coffees
5 slices of medium dominos pizza
An unconfirmed amount of chocolate.

You've been doing so well- sorry for not posting more often, I don't think I can justify it given my current status :leaving:

As for BBC Good Food... (search under advanced for low kilojoule and/ or nutrition information) or any other recipe website and (for Taste's kilojoules, )

Is everyone around you alright? I heard about the riots, it sounds really serious.

I love that you're changing your appearance during your weight loss (although I was sorry to read that the procedure didn't go as you expected :( ).
 
:) That's alright! Glad to see your back on :D

Yeah, everyone I know is okay. There are riots RIGHT NOW in my town ! Literally 1 minute away, at the end of my road!!!!! The sirens are going mental again!!! Ker-azy. I don't know quite how bad it is, nicks mate rang him up and said that his mate had just drove through Holloway and it was mobbed. Nothing on the web about it yet. Will go and inspect the damage tomorrow eeek. Hopefully they'll burn down the weighing machine in boots after my mammoth binge today.

Fingers crossed she'll do my eye-bags properly on the follow up appointment the Wednesday after next.

Joh aka descisionmakerThanks for remembering and asking about my top secret idea :D I'm no longer quite so infatuated with it, but I'm still gonna go for it when I am a proper size 12.

I am worried that I won't have the confidence to do it- you know what I'm like, I get nervous leaving the house on my own because of past events. And what I am thinking of doing will require me to be confident. So I'm going to put myself out there in new situations on my own- I'm going to start badminton and watercolour painting classes. I just want to go back to my old self. I'm sure I will. Hopefully.

The Host is an AMAZING book.
Hard to believe she's the author of twilight.......
I got to the end and was gutted because I just wanted it to carry on forever!
 
In total, as in from my heaviest ever, Ive lost 32 kg. I got that fat because of living in an extremely stressful place (post conflict country), during a very stressful time (my late husband became ill). Ive lost the weight gradually.

I found a food on a show called "Mad Hungry" that my family and I just love, and I want to share it with you. Baked cauliflower! makes me think I am eating chips, lol. Your kids will love this. I baked this plan, but you can add raisins if you want a sweet & salty taste.

A head of Cauliflower cut in haft and start slicing, put on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with V Olive oil (I used 100 % corn oil), next time I am going to use cooking spray. Salt and pepper and bake at 400 degrees 30 to 40 minutes ( I baked mine for about 55 minutes to an hour) you want them to get golden brown. I haven't tried broccoli, but you can mix broccoli with this too. I can't remember the woman's name, but she used one glove of garlic and a little oil in a pan on top of the stove and add a cup of raisins and saute and add to the cauliflower before baking.

You will enjoy water painting, I loved it when I went for about six months. I thought about going back.

I keep trying to give you reputation but I'm not allowed. Apparently I give you too much. Lol ;) Cos you're awesome.

I totally missed that last post. Whoops.

"I am worried that I won't have the confidence to do it- you know what I'm like, I get nervous leaving the house on my own because of past events.

Totally understand... Hopefully your confidence will just keep building as that zip keeps travelling further up that gorgeous dress :) I think it is really great that you have decided to still go ahead with it. If you just keep telling yourself you will do it, then your self-confidence issues shouldn't stand in the way of that. Brainwashing is very effective, you know. (meanwhile, I've told you that you're awesome, right? I should just tell you again and again and again... ;))

Going to badminton and painting classes are FANTASTIC ideas. Doing soemthing like that will really give you your pizzazz back and remind you that you really are a creative, sporty (yep!) person - remind you of who you really are despite your surroundings. This is really important... I think that is one reason I miss netball so much.

Have you looked into the watercolour painting classes? When will they start? I really realllly hope you do it!
 
Hey sweetie.
Hope all the shit going on in London isn't affecting you hun. It looks awful!!
Anyways, how are you doing?
 
I love badminton!! I remember playing it in highschool during P.E. class. Wish I knew somewhere I could play that here..
 
Jasper I'm 26:) You felt like eating bad yesterday, but you didn't, you did great, so well done!!! Ah, the bad night. It was bad. Some people were taking the piss out of me. I mean, it wasn't like I was going to get physically hurt or anything, but the things I overheard them say just made me crumble. It was the last time I went to a huge club. I love house music, but after that night I can't listen to it any more. I spent a week in bed crying. I had a bit of a breakdown really. I left the uni course that I loved. It just really hurts me that people would just slag off my appearance like that without even talking to me. I am planning on overcoming my demons and going to a house music club when I fit into that dress. Just thinking about it scares me, but I think I need to do it. I keep trying to tell myself that the problem isn't with me, its with them but I can't quite believe it. I can't spend my whole life hiding away indoors and making excuses. I'm feeling better about myself now because of my weight loss. I am going to try my hardest to screw what people think of me. Sorry about all the negativity! I mean, I know that far more awful things happen every day, and I feel like I have got no right to feel so bad about it.

Lylitu I know right, its a fabulous book! This is actually the second time I've read it, and I don't think I've ever read a book twice unless I have completely run out of books, and I have a big pile of about 50 still waiting to be read. The first time I read it I googled it straight away to see if there was a sequel. Apparently she has started to write another one, and wants it to eventually be part of a trilogy, I would love that to happen.

Sweatdaily I'm sorry that you lost some of the weight because of such stressful and unhappy circumstances :( But you still deserve credit and a big pat on the back. Your food and exercise are amongst the best on here, you are fabulous :)

Annagail Its really weird you should say that, because my daughters favourite food is cauliflower! We haven't had it in ages, and I will get some tomorrow :) You should start watercolour painting again if you love it :D

Fabulous-teeny-tiny-netball-skirt-woman :D Teeheehee. Thank yooooou! I love you too :D Thanks for brainwashing me my deary. My pizzazz (love that word) will be back soon, in so many bucket loads I will be pouring it off of balconies, and creating a huge waterfall of it. And I shall be the rainbow smiling at the top. An upside down rainbow as the normal ones look like a sad face.

Yeah, I'm going to enrol on a ten week course that starts in September at a community college :) I will do it. No excuses. Think I will have to have a shot of vodka before I leave the house. But I will go. I'm thinking of the alternative, and it isn't good. So go, I shall. I have nothing to lose. Not even my sanity. That's long gone haha.

Do you know what I would love to do? Paint dancing. It looks like so much fun. But the one in london needs to find a location, which is a shame. Here's a youtube clip of it... ?PAINT DANCING "Burn Baby Burn" VERY FUNNY!?‏ - YouTube
I wouldn't go to that one on my own. But it would still be fun times!

Hotbuns Its quite scary really. About ten minutes ago I heard loads of shouting and jeering, now a fire engine and loads of police cars have stopped within a block, there is a police helicopter circling overhead. All the shops shut early in case they were looted. Its mad, violence is just breaking out all over the city, peoples homes have been burnt down. I mean, I'm sure everything's gonna be fine, but I do feel a bit unnerved really. There's police cars cruising slowly past my house, and just loads of general shouting. I can feel the aggression and I haven't even left the house today! The sirens are still more than twice a minute, and that's not counting the mad frenzy of overlapping sirens I just heard. It'll be alright though.

This is the retail park where I go shopping just down the road.

Well, this has been my longest post EVER!!!!

I slept in so late last this morning as I was getting freaked out by footstep noises at 3 in the morning. So I haven't eaten much at all, and I'm not hungry. Nicks mum came round. My dinner tonight was not that amazing. It was fine, but I wouldn't do it again.

Food
50 grams fruit and fibre with milk
Toulouse sausage casserole with small dollop of mash
6 coffees

Exercise
None. Eeek.

Are you ok Ruth? These riots are scaring the crap out of me, especially as they creep ever closer to where I live. (It's not that I wasn't worried before- I know quite a few people who live in London... it's just more I'm worried about my boyfriend getting dragged into all of this, he has friends in the parts of Birmingham and Liverpool affected)
 
Oh my gosh! I hope you're ok. That's some scary stuff. I hope things settle down for you soon.

....And I've always thought paint dancing looked like fun! A complete mess, but FUN! LOL!
 
Heya sweetie.

So glad you are ok, i hope it is quiet tonight but somehow i can't see that happening. Keep safe hun.

It is so sad that nasty people can affect us so badly. I haven't had to deal with the treatment you have but i can totally understand how hard it floored you. You will get there hun. You are a beautiful person, INSIDE AND OUT and they are the one with the problem. They don't know you so fuck them!! I know it's easy for me to say that but it doesn't stop the hurt. You will go clubbing. You will hold your head high and you will have a great night. Just be patient with yourself. Big hug sweetie. Xx
