Tired Squishy One!!!

Hi there... I've got two weeks to a wedding and 3 to a reunion which I'm dreading. I used to be slim and not bad looking but these days I just feel frumpy, tired and old. I'm only 39 but theres about a stone too much of me. I'm also suffering from insomnia at the moment so everything seems pretty shit. I'm feeling too sorry for myself to even dress shop for this wedding and hoping I will squeeze into something I have. (I have a black LK bennett Tina dress if anyone knows it... sorry cant do the link thing yet, I'm new here)

My question is... what is the fastest way to drop a few pounds in two weeks. And i know crash dieting is not healthy but I'm desperate at this stage. Or any other tips on trying to feel better. I'm going to start rescue remedy sleep tonight... that may help my sleep and my mood in general.

Thanks guys... I know I sound like a right barrel of laughs. Not.

Sod crash diets.

Have you invested in some foundation wear?

It will take inches off you and you'll feel much better. Something like this would be best.

The tina dress is lovely; have you got some heels to go with it? they always help.

Then go to hairdressers and either get a full cut/colour or just a blowdry, get nails done and you'll be fine.

Now sit down and have a Biscuit Grin

I like your name - one of my favourite songs ever.

LK Bennett dress sounds great.

Invest in some new blusher and some lovely bubble bath / body lotion.

And I suppose you could just up the vege intake and decrease the bread intake for a week or so, if you have to.

Thanks guys...

Tethersend... what a sexy little number lol.... I have every sucky-in pants known to man and dont find any of them that good. And you are supposed to tell me to stop stuffying my round face.... not encourage me. LMAO

CBBG.... my fav song ever too. LK Bennett dress is fab but I'm afraid to even try it on as I dont think the zip will do up. You know maybe doing so and freaking myself out might be just what I need. So more greens... less pizza and choc. booooooo..

Why oh why do I keep losing and putting back on this same stone... you'd think I'd cop on after doing it about 10 times...

If you can copy & paste a web address into your message you can do a link, you just need 2square brackets around it

[[then you paste your link here ]

I have only used 1 bracket at the end, otherwise it would appear as a link, but you would use 2.

Clear as mud? [cgrin]
