That's the multi millionaire who has personal trainers, staff, £1000's to spend on beauty treaments every day and cosmetic surgery whenever? That's the multi millionaire who's very existance is based on the shallowest profession in the world - hollywood movies, who hasn't had or got a sucessful loving relationship with a normal man like you have?
MMMmmm, me thinks you might be setting yourself up to fail here:D.

okay okay telling off taken - but my point really wasn't 'i want to look like that', it was more 'i'd love to feel confident in a bikini' - I dont remember the last pic i allowed to be taken of me on a beach. I honestly was not suggesting she is a good role model or inspiration in that sense, but I long to have a body that looks like i've looked after it and that i can enjoy. it's been so long since i felt good in swimwear... I am not a crazy person trying to emulate a celeb body i promise!!!!

Betty, i know what you mean! I wish to God and back i was a size 10. I just cant resist things....and i have too many carbs. I'd say a massive portion of my diet is carbs...they are the backbone of everything i eat. I think i might try and cut back on it if i can, will be hard because im such a fussy eater. I dont mind my body from the top of my head down to the top of my legs! Its the hips and thighs i hate!

We should team up betty, make use of our sameness!

We are SO similar Vix! I love carbs. That's one reason why I like SW, unlimited pasta, noodles and rice! And i have the same body issues as you - quite like my top half but hate my bum, hips and thighs!

I have started doing squats in the kitchen while i cook lunch and dinner :rotfl:

We def should team up - diet buddies! How can we use our similarities to our advantage????

LOL, ok betty, I'll get off your case:rotfl: . I guess also I am just someone for whom it never occured to ever wear a bikini at all and I've never 'done ' beaches, so it's not a longing I can relate too.

Just had roast chicken. I can't imagine ever tiring of roast chicken. Just chicken and 3/4 plate of spring greens and abit of brochli. Yum

Is it just me or does everybody have lots more wees when its cold? if yes and the bathroom's upstairs, and if going upstairs counts as using more calories then i think the answer to your question beanie could be yes?

I love bikinis, I just look a bit crap in one. I'm saying a bit cos when I'm 70 I'll look back and think I looked alright!
Betty: we are the same person!! Ha.

I had cheerios and a kit jar for dinner. Is that a carb? I just fancied cheerios over scampi!

Yes we try to maintain our body temp, the colder it gets the more energy we use, at the poles they reckon on eating 6k+ cals a day.
