2011 Paul McKenna part two - our final diet

[whomovedmychocolate]

Welcome etc. blah blah. :)

JuicyOlive is better than StuffedOlive. OliveTheLifeOfRiley? OliveForToday?

OliveTheReallyRatherBeautiful? 'cause you are, you know.

I nearly died laughing at the Gillian McKeith bit. It is definitely making me think harder about things. I did have a tendency to take information at face value. But not any more.

thanks bloomingnora

You're lovely too - get in front of that mirror and release your inner Cheryl!

I quite like OliveForToday. I might just play around with bad puns for a while.

I was a bit why do you want to look like Cheryl Cole for, she is a weird lollipop person? I had trouble coming up with a famous person I wanted to look like. Tried Catherine Zeta Jones and kept thinking yuk, marriage to Michael Douglas. Angelina Jolie? Looks ok, but not a nice person. JLo, ditto. I ended up channelling Lara Croft from tomb raider. The pixilated one though. I am a sad cow! From the first one as she was a bit more of a human shape. I had guns and everything. I was hard. I could fight tigers and move blocks of stone

i did have a look over to the glitterball but there was nobody under it. it was over the ground floor no?

i was scarlett johannsson.

we tried to get lunch at lala but the waitress was busy fighting with the guy at the bar who said she was shit when she wasn't there.

Ooooo scarlet, good idea. My mind went a bit funny so I could only think of totally inappropriate people.

I have had a great day i think, and have eaten significantly less than i usually do.
All my colleagues were so impressed that i was eating really slowly at lunch and couldn't eat all of my lovely prawn salad.

I feel really chilled at at peace with myself. I've ordered some running shoes and and going to download the NHS running podcast called couch to 5K. In the meantime whilst my new ipod is charging i'm going to go and get changed and fo for a quick walk.

I've decided to channel Eva Longoria

Just pray it all lasts , saying that it is great having you all to talk to about it!

at pixilated Lara Croft fighting tigers - a good kickass role model.

I also struggled to find a suitable character - I ended up channelling my inner Kate Middleton - hardly a strong feminist figure - but forced to come up with something quickly, I thought about her as I covet her trim figure and lovely, shiny hair.

We were under the glitterball UPSTAIRS nevergoogle - well sort of to the side of it otherwise we would have fallen off the balcony.

that's what i thought might happen.
i used my literality to avoid walking around looking for strangers and making a tit of myself.

We ended up sitting there making eye contact and grinning madly at everyone who walked up the stairs. Just in case, you know. And then Solo came along and said something about Pombears but I can't remember what it was. Twas funny though!

To my eternal shame, I coudn't resist showing a pic of my DCs. I know that noone was really interested (who is?!). But I was missing them and it was an excuse to look at it

The thing about the pic was to illustrate that I was there making a tit of myself...

Sorry I didn't get to meet you as I love your name.

i'm nothing to get excited about tbh. but thanks.

Ok, I shall remain calm.

I'm probably going to step away from this thread now as I'm thinking of giving MN a rest for a while, but if anyone wants to chat I'll be on twitter under same name (anyfulekno).

Good luck with the getting thin everyone!

Good luck to you too. I too am thinking of an MN break (but not until I have got into the swing of this).

So no obsessive eating and no MN. What am I going to do with my time? Probably should look after the kids a bit more....

Olive - how about 'howgorgeousisolive' or 'oliveskinperfectbackside'

Right I have some news weird news - my DAD is now on the Paul McKenna train. Apparently my mum had the CD on last night when they were both in bed and today he has announced he's going to give it a go. Flipping blooming nora (no relation)

Good luck anyfulekno - you are on my twitter I think too. :)

bloomingnora haven't finished with you yet, where do you think you are sloping off having a real life eh?!

Incidentally I'm channeling Angelina Jolie (but imagining her not speaking or doing anything so I don't get put off).

Hopefully this will not lead to me adopting lots of babies because frankly we don't have the room.

what's with the breaks?
just stay in the shallow end no?

nevergoogle - I felt like having a break when I came back on Saturday as well. I guess it's because everything is all ruffled up and you need time to bed down new ideas about yourself. I haven't had a negative thought about myself since Saturday at about 11am. Now that's pretty weird and needs some headspace to figure out.

But I'm not going anywhere. I may however be a bit busy with other stuff so not on the thread all the time but I still love you and everyone else and will pop in. :)

i know what you mean, i bought a book at the airport. i normally 'don't have time' to read.
i am busy, i really am, but i fucking do have the time, but i'm hanging around here once the works done, doing fuck all that's what.
am liking the paul mckenna support though so going to stay here.

Paul has messed with our heads. But in such a good way

Hello again :) I'm being bad. Don't really know why although it could've been because I hadn't got as far as the roast potatoes and roast parsnips when I felt full and the thought of actually leaving them was just too much...I didn't eat the whole meal though, so I guess that's Ok ish?

I had considered having a rl break too over the last few weeks, but I don't have a social life, no visitors and no hobbies so I think I'd shrivel up and die in a corner if I did actually leave for a while. You are my lifeline.

yeah, instead of leaving the best bits till last, you have to eat your favourites off your plates incase you don't manage.
or less of each of course

That is one of my favourite things about this. I used to eat a huge plateful of food that I didn't want and then eat the nicest mouthful last eg the cheesiest bit. Now it is delicious from the beginning!

Solo - are you still trying to eat things because they are good or healthy? Did you in fact eat loads of veg first? By any tiny chance?! I had a roast on Sunday. I ate crackling, roast pork and potatoes. And I left all but one mouthful of my veg
