You're engaged!!!! Minks that's totally awesome! I thought being on your FB and IG, I would keep up with the Minks goss but clearly not! Huge congratulations gorgeous - so pleased for you. xxx
I kept it off social media - I am a bit weird that way, don't want it advertised to the whole world and have the attention (Lee and I aren't even "In a Relationship" on fb!!) but thank you honey, totes happy and look forward to marrying the little bugger xxx
Hey there Minks, welcome back. Everyone has missed you so.
I totally don't blame you from walking away from SW / Minis, I think sometimes the diet gets put so much on the pedestal by you and others, that it becomes a pressure and a stress. You were putting a lot of pressure to get where you needed to be, and that's no b!oody fun is it!? I see other people's diaries are "almost" there and they are pressuring themselves too, and lowering their original targets a bit more, then a bit more - we are never happy with ourselves are we?
Congrats on the proposal, thats so lovely - the boy did good, and what your lovely mummy said about the ring, brought a little lump in my throat!
Me? Well I am pretty much in the same sitch as before, I am not an SWer, more Healthy Eating and more recently (like two days a go) I thought I would give CCing a go - in for a penny..
Come and visit my diary once you get settled back in - its a feast for the eyes! Its not, but it'd be nice if you did visit!
It is lovely to hear you are happy with yourself once more. There is much more to life than getting to target and I am glad you are in a good and healthy place both physically and mentally.

Charley my sweet, you hit the nail on the head and I am glad that everyone here understands what I meant!
The boy did do good didn't he? He's a good egg and I am lucky to have one of the good ones (remind of that when he has been a lazy so and so and I want to pinch him!)
As for your CC'ing... different strokes for different folks and if you haven't tried, you don't know right? Crack on and see how you get on. I was ready about CC'ing and how to calculate your BMR etc, etc, and it did make me sit up a bit - for me to maintain weight I should be having 1500 cals a day - not the 2000 "recommended". Just goes to show how much I know!! So good luck to you and I look forward to seeing how you get on.
And of course I will be flying over to your diary - you make a mean dish and I need me some Charley food porn in my life
xxxx
Popping in to say hello
lovely to see you back
Many many congratulations
on your engagement
Thank you mumma! Great to be back and look forward to a catch up!
I see you are doing the whole 30 - not sure if you have seen this website / books but can totally recommend "Well Fed / Well Fed 2" and the site ************************** for some amazing tasting dishes (The pad thai and sunshine sauce.... wow!!) xxx
Hey Minks lovely to see you back.
Congratulations on your engagement.
Glad you decided to take it easier with dieting. I have done the same and put on some weight. Now everyone tells me that when I was lighter, I seriously looked ill.
I'd like to lose 7-10 lbs as I do not feel comfortable with the extra weight. Today is my first day back and will be posting regularly.
I am so glad that you are back. Have a lovely day.
Lots of love xx
Hello lovely! Thank you very much
You lose what you want to lose and what makes you feel comfortable, which you say you aren't so hopefully the 7 or so lbs makes the difference for you. Good luck and look forward to seeing how you get on!
