Argh! I hate to sound fussy, or pedantic, but there's no such thing as a vegetarian who eats fish - Just pescetarians who don't know their real name! haha It really bugs me when people say "I'm a vegetarian, do you eat fish, too?", or when I'm out and ask for the vegetarian options, and am brought a menu full of fish-stuff and no real veggie food! (so annoying!)

Wiki's definition of vegetarian is, 'Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes all animal, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products'

so people who say they are vegetarians who eat fish are not really vegetarians at all! Sorry if I sound really snobby and picky - I'm not really, it's just that pest-etarians posing as veggie's are a pet hate of mine! haha

Totally valid point! You just want people to be truthful and if they eat fish they are not veggies!

Feeling a bit like poo at the minute. Not sure why - What's changed since yesterday? Not much.

Just want to eat and eat and eat.

Trying hard not to.

Anyway, today's consumption stands thus:

• Fried egg sandwich
• Nuts, seeds and raisens
• Chip-shop chips
• Bread-crumb-coated, deep-fried brie with Salsa
• Pancake-coated, deep-fried banana, sprinkled with icing sugar
• Chocolate ice cream cone

So, not the best day. Let's see how tomorrow goes. Not giving up! Slendertone should arrive tomorrow as well.

Thats it, even though you haven't had too good a day with the few unhealthier food options today, you shouldn't give up. You have all the time in the world to change and get to a point where you feel better about yourself. So keep going you will achieve your goals in no time.

Tomorrow will be a better day if you believe it. And have fun with your slendertone too.

Thanks Time Lady

Slendertone arrived today Was surprised how much like hard work it resembles! haha Really feels like it's working, though - have to fight the temptation to wear it constantly lol Apparently you need to wait 6 hours between 20 minute sessions. Shame...

I'm feeling much more positive today. Haven't eaten so far, but don't feel hungry. Am going round my brothers for a chilli in a few hours and will probably have a banana before that.

Today is a better day than yesterday, because I knew it would be. Oh, I tidied up as well! Probably why I feel so much happier. Today is better than better than yesterday; today is a good day. Go me!

Yay, your slendertone arrived today. Glad to see that you like using it, and are going to stick to the instructions and not over do it.

Nice to see that you are feeling more positive today, that will really help you with your weight-loss. I am pleased that you are feeling better after tidying up, it always makes me feel better.

I'm a little worried that you hadn't eaten much today. Did you have the chilli round your friends tonight? I hope you enjoyed it and ate plenty,

Take it easy and I hope that tomorrow is even better.

Love Gemma

• Mozzarella and tomato panini
• Vegetable chilli
• Nuts, seeds and raisens
• Packet of crisps

HOWEVER I have also exercised a lot today, so hoping the crisps don't count for now! haha

Really didn't feel like eating today. Feel crap about my body. But have eaten:

A vegetable lasagne with salad and a tofu curry.

Sometimes eating is just as hard as dieting! All about the will-power. I always regret eating at all as much as I regret eating too much, because the first tends to lead to the latter. If I don't eat in the first place, I could go forever without even thinking about food.

I guess this whole diet thing is just about finding your balance. Weigh in tomorrow. I have a horrible feeling that I've put on weight...

sorry your not feeling too good about yourself today and even though you didn't feel like eating you still had something at least, so thats a good thing, well done.

I can understand that its pretty tough for you, because you go from one end of the scale to the other with your eating habits and you are right it is all about balance. Jut remember that food is a friend if eaten healthily as much as it is an enemy if eaten unhealthily. It will take you time to teach yourself that you can eat f you want and that you don't have to go overboard and make yourself feel bad. So don't worry you ill get there, try to keep your positive energy going and remember we are here for support too. I know you can achieve your goals.

About your weigh-in tomorrow, don't worry too much if you have put on weight and fingers-crossed that you haven't. You are still very much in the beginning of your new diet plan and there are bound to be ups and downs while you settle into it, so don't be too hard on yourself if the scales don't give you the result you would like tomorrow. And you have only just got your slendertone so that will take a little while with that to show the results, so give yourself time hun, you will get there.

No matter thee outcome tomorrow, I hope you have a lovely day.

Love Gemma

Thanks for the support, Time Lady

My low and negative mood is probably not helped by the fact that my house is a mess (Again!) and my tummy feels bigger and fatter than ever...

I'm sure, though things will look up soon - tomorrow is another day after all. I am dreading the weigh-in, though... Might just give it a miss this week!

With the mood of the moment, I forgot to mention today's highlights:

Walked 1.5 miles SUPER fast, more like ran really - whilst pushing my husband in his wheelchair and my daughter on his lap! (Was hard work) Have done about 1 hour in total on the slendertone, and have done lots more walking on top of that, so a good day for the exercise.

Also, bought a hamster (complete spur of the moment) He's called Richard Hammond and he's very cute. Things to smile about - He hasn't figured out that he can climb up to his bed through the tube yet, thinks he has to climb on top of it, and keeps falling off! hehe He's only 10 weeks old, bless him.

Thanks, Taz. Am trying to get positive again - sooner rather than later would be good!

Focusing on positives, and trying to remember that there's no rush - I have plenty of time to get the weight I want to be at.

Am panicking slightly about the wedding next weekend, though; Have just one week to fit into that dress and I just seem to be getting bigger and bigger (despite all my efforts!) and on top of that, it's not really a dress you can breastfeed in so I'm trying to get Anna to take my milk from a bottle, but it's just not happening! *throws oneself into a total nervous breakdown*!

... Where was I? Oh yes, happy thoughts!
