Aw thanks Birdie I know really it's irrational and everyone has a past but I can't help torturing myself sometimes! We're silly things us girls aren't we?

Have we no DOTD??

The things we girls go through! I remember an e-mail I got a while ago and it was diary excerpts from a man and a woman. The woman's diary was saying how distant her OH had been, how worried she was, how she thought he may be having an affair, that they'd made love but he wouldn't look her in the eye and how she thought the end of the relationship was coming... his diary entry said 'My football team lost. Gutted. Got a shag though'! :rotfl:

I'll find a DOTD this afternoon! I was hoping you wouldn't notice!

I think we forget sometimes just what simple creatures they are!!

DOTD! It's very...different but I actually quite like it! It's got a long floaty train too if you want me to post the back view? Or do you hate it?!

Hmm, I'm not too keen on this one I have to admit Birdie, sorry! It's just a bit too busy. I don't like the drop waist as I think it would be unflattering (on me at least), I'm not too keen on too much detail and beading anyway, and the skirt panels are a bit weird. Sorry! I do like the floatiness of the skirt, but infinitely preferred yesterday's dress!

Just been for a mini-MOT at the uni gym as it's Wellbeing Week. I've come out as OK for everything - BMI and fat% etc, but I'd prefer to have been borderline underweight

Hehe, I thought it wouldn't go down too well!

Why is it that we're never happy when our measurements come out as 'normal' i.e. just right, we always want to be underweight even though that would be classed as unhealthy! Girls can be so silly! :rolleyes:

Tete_en_l'Air

I know. I only want to be borderline though - healthy but skinny

Hmm, we all say that but do we mean it?? My OH got slightly obsessed with his body fat %, he was 10.3% and worked himself silly trying to get it down to 10%. He was too lean anyway and there was nowhere for him to lose fat from! He's relaxed a lot now, and now that he's not working or working out he's starting to get a little bit of podge -by that I mean an extra 1cm around his waist, a lot for him!- God, I hate going out with someone so naturally lean. If I'd not done anything but lie around and eat for a month I'd be a stone heavier!

My OH is one of those annoying people with a high metabolism and a natural six pack - it's not fair! I probably need to lose about a stone to be happy, but sometimes I'd like to lose enough for people to wonder if I was ill. I know that's really wrong! What are we like?! I'm with you on the slight paranoid jealousy too - it's not a very attractive quality, but I just can't help it...

Not keen on that dress either, Birdie. I think it would make a normal person look HUGE

Tete_en_l'Air

10%?!? I'm 32%! I know what you mean though, my OH is very thin as well, and very tall, I hate lying in bed next to him and looking at my fat thigh next to his! He's a bit funny with food actually and hardly eats through the week, I'm never sure whether I should be worried about him or not... Looking at it down in writing I think I should be ...
