The General Diet & Emotional Support Thread

Ok, maybe using Posh as an example wasn't such a good idea!! I agree she's far too thin, think it's funny that her & hubby get called Thick & Thin though!! :rotfl:

Anyway, what about Elizabeth Hurley or Catherine Zeta Jones (although personally I can't stand them either)?? Look at before & after (they were thin) photos & they look chubby on the before pics, yet if you hadn't seen the after pics to compare you would never think of them as carrying extra weight, iykwim?!

I've been thinking about Slimming World (my Sister doesn't want to go ) & I think I'll wait until after the school hols before I do anything about it. I'm going to try & just be sensible for the next few weeks, that will be an achievement in itself cos I've been stupid this last week

stop bloody putting it off woman !!!! SW isnt in anyway as restrictive IMO that LC'ing is
it fits in with all the family you can eat snacks make 1 meal for the whole family take sarnies when you go out - all sorts

what are you waiting for ? just get on with it - sorry to sound harsh but imagine what you could lose in 6 weeks of summer hols ? of course unless you just want an excuse to eat ice creams chips and all sorts of junk ?

tell me exactly why you need to wait until the kids go back to school ??

sorry honey but you making me a little :mad:

- is very aware i sound like a preachy ex smoker and i am sorry but i just want to give you a shake xxxxx

Been good since my wake up call on the scales on Friday. BBQ yesterday, lots of salad n meat, a small piece of the obligatory cake, which I tried very hard to refuse (no really, I did, host was insistent I got something as I wasn't drinking.

Today, nectarine for breakfast, bacon, egg, toms for lunch. Tea will be steak on the bbq and more salad. Even pudding is pretty good, fruit n cream.

Afternoon everyone,
Thanks for letting me join!!
Sweet - I'm joining the Rosmary Conley class this week I've been putting it off for ages too but now my class times have changed I'm gonna do it!! I'll let you know how I get on!

Been bad today already, had a sausage and bacon sandwich for breakfast (couldn't really say no as my lovely b/f made it for me and him cooking doesn' happen often lol:rotfl:) so now I've got to get my stepper out!!
Hope there is something good on T.V for me to watch whilst I try to exercise (note the try, normally do about 15 mins then I feel dead lol :mad: chosen no because I am angry but that is what colour my face goes lmao:p)

So what is everyone else up to today?

xx

Sunnyday

Afternoon peeps :wave:

fresh home from work and i`m not as tired as i have been lately. May still have a nap though as it will see me through later.

Brekkie today was scramblies and mushrooms, snack was cheese and salami and dinner was tuna salad.

Tea later will be lc chilli that i found in the freezer, not sure why its lc chilli but thats the label that i stuck on it so it must be right eh?

No woofaloes today - DH has taken them fishing for the day so just moi and the little black cat tonight. Peace and quiet and hopefully i`ll get to start off some wine that i`d planned to do last week.

Hannoja - You`re right, i do love lcing as i feel so much better without the bloat. Re Dh - he has recently started wearing glasses as he can`t see things close up properly without em :rotfl:

Sweet - ok, saved me ages of trawling through files that has

Mystery lover - Not sure whether i said hello or not but :hello: & welcome

Good news :j i found a pair of jeans that fit :j i didn`t think that i`d find any - good old Asda :rotfl: they were in the sale as well no very money saving

Right i fancy a snack so i think i`ll have a pepperami and a snooze before i end up being baaaaaaaaaaad!

Happy Sunday folks.

Sweet, i must say i was thinking what daisy wrote, DO IT NOW.
You could lose almost a stone in six weeks.

Thats choice coming from me i know but go for it.

I have been for out Sunday lunch with my sons and gf
Came home and middley cooked chocolate brownies for dessert.
Was even brought a cup of tea with mine.. i could get used to this

daisy, consider myself well & truly shaken
I'm just in a 'funny' mood with myself atm. I'm fed up of being on a 'diet' or 'woe' whatever anyone wants to call it I don't feel like I can stick with anything so what's the point in even trying Very negatives feelings I know, it's just the way I'm feeling, I'm blaming the hormones!! I will get over [STRIKE]myself[/STRIKE] it, hopefully it's just a blip. Thanks for caring enough to give me a good telling off though :kisses3:

Mystery, good luck with the Rosemary Conley, let us know how you get on with it

Sunny, glad my apathy has saved you a job!!

mazzers, I know I would lose weight, the blurb on my local SW says 'start today & lose 10lbs by 15th August', but even that's not enough to tempt me into starting it atm

Self-pitying wallow now over, I promise to be a happy peep tomorrow

mazzers

I've had a lovely after dinner snooze, didn't want to get up tho
Hope i sleep tonight.

Dieting out the window for me too sweet, hoping to try simply 'healthy eating', if i can cut out the crap i should lose some weight from all the rushing around.

I've been having my main meal in work as it's so cheap ( e.g. two saus, egg and chips = 97p) and just a snack when i get home, quite mse i thought
Will stick to my morning shake though as it cuts the cals but fills me up, i've been putting a big dollop of greek yogurt in, makes it really thick and creamy and much more filling, if i choose a healthier option for my main meal i should see benefits.

Big hugs to all my fellow fat fighters.:grouphug: Even though the scales are being evil (how can I have put on a pound???) I have managed to almost stay on the straight and narrow today.

Sweet - we all have blips. You have been a real inspiration to me in my quest to get rid of the lard. You WILL be able to do it.

Hello Mystery Lover :wave:and all.

DH is sitting next to me stuffing his face with cakes (notice the plural) :eek: . One day you will be mine little crumbly chunks of cakey loveliness but until then ...... (goes off to sob quietly into a fat free yoghurt) X
