A wonderful evernooning to you all
maleificent, I think after all this cool Brit weather, the Cyprian shock will drive me right to all the things I fear and dread... skirts, bikinis, short-shorts, flip-flops and worst of all... *sunglasses* (hiss!) I think it's a good oppotunity to get into things like that; I can't wear my huge, black jeans and long sleeved black T-shirts in the sun.
It's so exciting wearing a belt, with good reason! I also tried on a pair of my larger 36 waist trousers, which were pretty bulgy when I filmed in them in March. I was pulling out my shirt so it covered my tyre, and made it look like "this is how I'm meant to look, I'm not fat really!" I was always one for fat denial

But they fit loads better! Still a touch of tyre, but I could find a nice top and wear them in public!
Mrs B, have just texted friend now to ask about tuna burgers, and she said she was happy staying in! It's a relief, and a hell of a lot cheaper as well! Like I said, I went out with Top Cat (haha, Top Cat comes with me so the cat can get his stitches out, have Puck checked up and to have some innoculations!) and we went round the village we ate at. I bought two new pairs of shoes and £30 worth of DVDs. Then there's the new top I bought yesterday, Puck's vet bills, the food for the two of us and Top Cat's passport... that's £144 in five days


Frightening!
I can't wait to slim into my new top though, and going back to Uni in a new top, with a new me

Tacky, I know. A part of me, the less humble part of me, is looking forward to when people who I haven't seen for 5 months have noticed the weight loss.
Scarlett, I've been having so much practise recently. My brother (aslo "dieting") constantly gets take away. So there's always chicken pizza or chinse. On Sunday, he bought crispy duck, my absolute fav... And all I was having for tea was some cornflakes. Days like that are harder to deal with.
Although, not long now until I'm out of the box. I've been going through various low fat and raw diet cook books looking for low kcal alternatives to cornflakes. Nothing as low as, but some nice recipes all the same. There's a salad I would actually eat; a chicken and spinach one, with raspberries in! There are also lime-marinated chicken scewers, a fantastic looking lasange, more burgers and some chilled soups. I'm looking forward to trying them! I quite enjoy cooking, even though I'm crap at it!
OK, my vice today, which I really should admitt here before I finish this beast of a post. For lunch, I had a sandwich... a BBQ chicken with melted cheese

and it came with chips


However, I only ate a couple of the chips, and left the rest. It pained me to do so, but I did. Someone mentioned I need to make better decisions. I do try, but I'm a pretty fussy eater. I don't like to think I am, but the only limit I have in cook books are recipes that I know I wouldn't eat. Salads, for example. That's the real problem; if I enjoyed salad, I would be bikini-thin by now.
Anywho, I've spent too long online, so I'm going to buzz round one last time, then log off.
Thank you all for your visits and support

It's wonderful coming on and having so many wonderful comments to come back to.
