2009 diary - time to make changes!

Lula-Hula

Oh hollyberry - I think we should do some body parts swapping, I could easily donate a couple of bra sizes & still be plentiful I used to be a 'vase' shape but my beehind is on a mission to catch up asap :rolleyes:

Shoe Gal -

just keep drinking lots of water to fill you up & try some unsalted nuts & fruit to nibble on - sweet & munchy but much better than biscuits or pastries

As you've probably guessed - I'm keeping the shoes The decision was made when I threw the box away this morning! But they are fabulous :j

Have been treated to lunch by a friend to say 'thanks' for a favour so that was lovely - but norty of course!!

Another dieting day falls by the wayside :rotfl: :rotfl:

A wise choice;) Fabby new shoes are a necessity:j and perfect for cheering yourself up and I currently have 5 lovely pairs in my basket at Clark's online:D Will only get 2 pairs though I think a comfy pair which I need for work/lollling about as I have worn the others out and a pair I need:o for a party.

My baby steps for this week:

• 1 ltr of water per day
• take supplements every day
• walk to shops at least once
• hair treatment
• foot treatment

On the subject of beachwear, I solved this problem a long while ago by deciding to never ever wear any such thing ever again. The thought of having to wear a bikini makes me shudder with horror:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sounds like a plan but I love lying in the sun - and trying to get tanned (naughty, I know) - so it onwards with the dieting

I TOTALLY understand how you 'need' shoes for the party - new shoes and parties go so well together - rather like gin and tonic!!! :rotfl:

I can't remember seeing sun warm enough to strip off to get a tan. Cornwall was a bit parky last year

I am really with Sarah on the bah humbug swimwear scenario, but the problem is that I love swimming. I think that I should reactivate one of those Victorian bathing tents which can retreat once I am safely in the water. :eek: The tankini is only the lesser of several evils, preventing simultaneously the exposure of stark white flesh and that strange "airbags" look that results from a swimsuit when your top half is two sizes smaller than the bottom.

Sarah, five pairs of shoes in the trolley? I know you only intend to buy two, but what if the others get lonely and form a lemming-like procession to join them? :cool:

Shoe Gal - I hate to point this out, but are you sure you are fully qualified to be "testing" shoes? Is this not rather like a bee testing pollen?

Lula - Happy to accept a donation to the top half, but have you quite realised the extent of my return donation to the lower half?

I have often considered whether the burka (sp?) worn in Afghanistan will ever catch on here ??? Before I start a backlash, this is nto cover upot a political statement - I just like the potential to cover up - anfd no dieting :j
