    Morning Linzeeeee, how you doing today babes? I was wondering what your average food intakes is now, what's your usual brekky, lunch and dinner and are you drinking (alcohol I mean)? A close friend of mine had a gastric band fitted and she's only lost about 20lbs in 6 months so I'd love to...

    Think of it as your shopping list for the Universe. I looked through glossy magazines and cut out whatever I fancied. To be honest if you only have 3 things there's less to focus on so they'll come quicker :) I know someone who cut out a girl in a bikini and then stuck a pic of their own head...
