Morning Mazzers, weather is poop here as well, my cat came running in absolutley drenched this morning and then decide to rub up my legs - already had my work pants on so wasn't impressed.

Glowgirl - it is slow isn't it? but I suppose as long as it is going down then that's good. can I ask what height you are? I am 5ft 3" hence why I need to weigh 8stone or below to be a size 8, I take it you are taller?
I am forever moaning at my dad for passing his short a$$ genes onto me, if I was taller I could eat more!!!:D

< Me.

It's like someone has flicked a switch this afternoon, TOTM hormones are gearing up and I'm narky and craving EVERYTHING. It's so unbelieveably defined. I must be retaining fluid too as my stomach looks bloated and I've not cheated once in ages.

I NEVER used to be as bad as this when I was younger, this is getting ridiculous. I want to go and eat my way through the fridge. Why doesn't my body know that it doesn't need to be this extreme, I will feed it and rest it so it can do what it needs to, it doesn't have to give me such a hard time and try to stockpile food!

I was TOTM last week, think that was why I was slightly emotional and guilt ridden, also was craving chocolate like mad - luck I had 85% cocoa in the cupboard.

Not raining here (yet) but very dull. My car has been in the garage since yesterday so will need to walk down and pick it up today at some point. It will probably rain then.

I was evil last night. No other way to describe what I did to myself. Plate of chips and cold meat at around 8.30pm and a whole box of ice cream Munchie bars. Oh and some more crackers later.

I don't understand why, after being so good for weeks and having a smaller stomach to fill, I still binge. You'd think that desire would have lessened and I would have been full and satisfied after one or two things but no, I sit there like some greedy fat cartoon pig with all my spoils around me and a gleeful look on my face. It's disgusting.

I've not weighed myself today, I will have put on because of yesterday and I know seeing it in black and white will depress me so I'm leaving well alone in an effort to forget about it and make today a new day. Daughter is at school and eldest is away to his Dad's again for a few days so I'm intending whacking the stereo on and gutting the house. That should keep me occupied and moving. (I have a very untidy house :rotfl:.)

Foxy, I'm 5'6 and very small framed, I dont carry even a few pounds of extra weight well:( I am also naturally curvy, meaning I have hips and boobs so even at a low weight I dont look skinny (I dont like the skinny look) just slim, for me its more about how my clothes fit and in the summer I go to the beach a lot and I want to look and feel nice, my ideal weight is 8st 5, I'm still a size 8 at that weight but clothes seem to fall better, at this rate I'll be my ideal weight at christmas time:rotfl:

Know what you mean, I have skinny arms and legs but a round bloated stomach (think I drink to much liquid) and round face.
Haha I have an image in my head of myself of a womble now.

Sunnyday

Morning peeps :wave:

i got weighed this morning and i`m 6lb heavier :rotfl: got to laugh or i`ll cry. My big problem now is emptying the freezer it`s got to be done as the new one will be a whole lot smaller so i`m going to go for one shake a day as a meal replacement.

I`m back to the usual in that i can go for ages without eating in the day but once i`ve actually had something to eat i can`t seem to stop myself

Yesterday i had a shake for brekkie about 8am and then at dinnertime i had two sausages, tea was a few oven chips, burgers and beans (freezer stuff) that was about 6pm and then i had half a bag of tortilas, 8 custard creams, half a large bar of 75% chocolate and two bottles of lager. Oh and a large bag of honey roasted cashews

Today i`ve been up since 630 and eaten nothing at all and have had two cups of tea.

I shall have a shake about 12ish and i`ve portioned my tea up into two tubs to take to work, i shall have one about 5pm and the other about 8ish. Its sausage and onion pasta and red pesto so should be filling enough, i just need to keep myself occupied and not eat out of boredom.

Its been a bit quiet at work and i`ve found myself even worse than usual when my mind isn`t occupied.

Sarah - The dress is lovely - well done.

Foxy - Please *beg beg, grovel grovel * post your food diary, i find it helps me hugely to read what others are eating.

Sweet - Just post anyway, i`m not going diet mad atm as i need to empty the freezer and also cut down on my shopping spends too atm.:D

I`ve just been out in the garden in the rain and planted my 84 bizzy lizzie plug plants, thought that i may as well seeing as i was soaked from walking the houndies in the bloomin pouring down rain :cool:

I`m off for a read as i`need to catch up on a few bits and bobs, hope i`ve not got 60 odd emails like i did last time that i didn`t check for a few days :eek:

Catch you all later.
