OK cod, having no lunch with me the choices are:

low fat sandwich (somerfields)
slice cheese/lentil pie (health food shop)

or soggy, hot comforting cornish pasty from Bobs Scuzzy Snack Bar.

Help me now.

Can i join please?

Don't have time to read all this thread, so could someone please give me a brief low-down on what's happening. Do you have to weigh yourself once a Week then post it? etc...

My clothes are starting to get rather tight, and i am going on holiday in may, so want to do something now so i don't wobble all over the beach. As i haven't needed to diet much before, i really need a kick up the bum to motivate me!

Ok, so i am 11 9!!
aim for 10 7 (this is my ideal weight believe it or not. I am quite tall, and any less than this and i look ill.)
Weaknesses - alchohol, and then picking at rubbish food whilst drinking alchohol, and late-night eating.

GreatBigFatHeiferEnid · 11/01/2005 11:33

no alcohol during the week
no bread for lunch

was going to post today about how much better I felt on the diet - sleeping like a log and lots of energy. But today I feel like CRAP so maybe I'll postpone my evangelical posting

GreatBigFatHeiferEnid · 11/01/2005 11:35

but a low fat sandwich is bread

weightwatchingwaterwitch · 11/01/2005 11:35

The sandwich Enid, you know it makes sense! Or could you buy a load of fruit and some ready to eat prawns or smoked salmon (God, it's all I ever seem to suggest on here!)? I bought Milk Thistle tablets yesterday Fio, thought my liver could probably use some help. I feel OK once I'm up, just awful on waking. But I weighed myself and....

Ta da! I've LOST SIX POUNDS! I am happy, it's all worth it so I will keep going.

GreatBigFatHeiferEnid · 11/01/2005 11:36

wow www well done (thats a lot of w's)

What keeps me going Cod is looking in the mirror . I have a kind of reverse body dismorphia where I've been looking in the mirror for years and thinking 'yeah, I look ok' and now, suddenly, I'm thinking, oh f**! No I don't! It's like the scales have fallen from my eyes. And it's v strange but I still look in my home mirror and think 'not that bad' but the minute I go out (M&S lift yesterday was partic depressing) I can see it all so clearly - I'm a FAT bird. It's called denial I think

lowcalCOD · 11/01/2005 11:39

oh an dno snacking obv

two people at work complimented me on looking so slim and trim this morning. Also clothes much looser already.

gingerbear · 11/01/2005 11:42

saintshar · 11/01/2005 11:42

Oh, i am hard enough - ask essbee, her nick name for me is wellardshar!!

It will be a struggle, but i NEED to do it.

Do you have to post if you have any slip-ups?

GreatBigFatHeiferEnid · 11/01/2005 11:43

congrats gingerbear! the battle is almost won!

FineFigureFio · 11/01/2005 11:43

www, you sound exactly like me. i just look at my face and think, yes I look fine, i need a full length body mirror. havbe been weighed, too bloody embarassed to post it though

weightwatchingwaterwitch · 11/01/2005 11:46

Fio, same here, I will post my weight once I've lost some. See, I didn't even KNOW it before last week, didn't have scales. That's true denial.

FineFigureFio · 11/01/2005 11:47

I donty have scales either
am off to buy some milk thistle tablets too

gingerbear · 11/01/2005 11:50

I am taking milk thistle and multibionta.
My coat is glossy, eyes bright and nose wet.......

Can't wait for the sleek, fit and full of life bit to happen.
