Size 10 screaming to get out!!

[Jubbly]

Oh and water consumption way down today due to being in car and in interview most of day. Very poor effort.

Boo had rice for dinner last night. I felt momentarily sorry for myself.

 

[Toots]

Thanks Toots, I love your behind Gosh, don't you just wish your bum looked like that (actually it may well be your bum in which case lucky you, but don't lose that 14lbs!!)? Mine certainly doesn't. It's not aided at the moment by a great big lumpy mosquito bite on it
xx

Oh if it did I wouldn't be whinging - trust me It's there to try to keep me focused. Oh and bite? I know it's cruel but :8855:

Oh, oh, oh, I'm soooooo excited. I just remembered I can have a cup o' Bouillon which is knocking around in the pantry somewhere. Mmmmm, lovely vegetable stock xx

So easily pleased!! (me too )

Sometimes I wonder if you can ever really re-train your brain to prefer mung beans and wheatgrass juice over pizza and maltesers

May solve your mosquito problem and also it would mean that you could avoid eating out with friends - you wouldn't have any (whiffy bum)

Just a blip - as long as you're back on wagon today. Hope your interview went well

Cheers Toots, the kid I was interviewing was fine but it took 45 minutes to get into the stupid prison as they hadn't put my name on the gate and then I lost my ID card. It was one of those days!

Boo is now eating FIVE pieces of southern fried chicken GAAAAHHHHH (the smell)!! I lapsed very slightly today and had a slice of Bernard Matthews chicken breast. Wasn't even very nice. I can live with that though. Got in a whole bunch of Coke Zero cans and my water is freezing ready for my chocolate mousse, which this time I'm going to use a blender for to prevent globby bits of I don't know what floating around in shake.

Water intake defo up but then it's easier at the weekend. As predicted everyone very drunk last night and patience tested. Ended up in weird, very local pub for a soda water with random Irish band and erm, interesting looking clientele (mostly toothless). I woke up with a headache (again) and then thought how ironic it was that I hadn't been drinking but still felt like cr*p. Feeling tired but then did not sleep well at friends. She is jealous of my motivation currently. First time we lost weight together and it was very helpful. I weighed myself on her scales (naughty - only like weighing in once per week) and no more off. Must stop doing that. Makes me despondant.

Boo is very sweet and says it looks like I've lost weight already (whilst stuffing face full of chicken). xx

 

[Jubbly]

Ooooh, lovely Coke Zero feels like such a treat x

 

[Pingu6]

You're doing really well, love your diary it's very funny

 

[Jubbly]

Thanks Crystal G. If you can't laugh on this blimmin' diet you'd probably just cry all the way into Dominoes...! x

 

[Jubbly]

Remembered something annoying about yesterday. People telling me I can have vodka and soda on a diet. I CAN'T HAVE VODKA AND SODA. So you try and explain and it's just frustrating and people look confused and disturbed by your diet. Rach asked me if I wanted a squash yesterday and had to explain again. She tells me it's unhealthy. I explained that it is also unhealthy to live mainly on Twirls and plain Hula Hoops and white bread and pasta and have a BMI over 25 but she was not convinced...

 

[Jubbly]

It's official - mix-a-mousse and Exante don't work. I'm gonna try ONE more time with less water then give up if it doesn't work. However, the chocolate "mousse" was not aided by the small piece of yellow washing up sponge I found in it!

Strange toilet troubles, won't go into but not the usual effect that Cambridge had. Seems ahem, even looser than ahm, more compacted, so to speak. Nice.

Not particularly hungry today. Just asked Boo if my breath smells and he said no (maybe he's just being nice, bless) but I am absolutely freezing so ketosis must be setting in.

One thing I will say for Exante is they might be cheaper but they're bloody cheeky. Went to order 12 choc-orange bars online and can't as the minimum order is £36. My credit card started crying so I refrained and figured I'll just do shakes for now with a bit of chicken/tuna if I really, really need something to chew. xx

 

[chazz27xx]

Love your diary!

 

[Jubbly]

Thanks Chazz. I'm as usual totally obsessed once I'm on this diet with this site and my progress. I find it a useful distraction from wine. x

 

[Jubbly]

Right, choccy milkshake before we go and do something that will likely involve me driving Boo to a pub! I think I'm getting addicted to these chocolate milkshakes. God knows what I'm going to do in about 3 weeks when all I've got left is a whole bunch of strawberry ones left, bleurgh. Been a lazy day today.

Whoop, KORN just came onto Scuzz....x

 

[Jubbly]

Hmmmm, not good, I keep having the chocolate shakes. Just had one for brekkie. I thought I'd go wild and put about half the amount of water in and have it all thick and lumpy (and eat it on my own with a spoon). I've remembered exactly what it reminds me of - chocolate Angel Delight.

Getting ever so slightly bored of my meal options but on the plus side not thinking all the time about how I'm on a diet. I'm already worrying about my Thursday am weigh-in as I don't feel like I've lost anything but must remember that I'm odd and always lose more in second week. Having said that, despite grotesque stomach, seem to look a bit thinner round my collarbone area, or perhaps my imagination.

Boo has had tinned chilli and tinned hot dogs this week and is now about to get a tin of spaghetti. I might have to swallow my food envy and take over his cooking before he gives himself scurvy! I'm making him muffins on Wednesday night for him to take to work on Thursday and that may well test my sanity! Having said that, I have no more urges for Bernard Matthews chicken breast slices. Might grab a Coke Zero in a mo.

I am probably going to stay at home by myself (with no car ) next weekend as I just can not be arsed to go back to Suffolk with Boo with everyone drinking (lots) and eating. It can be a lonely life on a VLCD sometimes I know it's worth the effort and I won't miss the hangovers but I do worry about not being very "fun", esp when my boyfriend's idea of a good night out is getting plastered and passing out somewhere.

:giggle:At least he's willing to "cook" his own food, bless him!!

I know that sometimes this can seem when missing out on social occassions but if you stick to it you will get to goal quicker

Do you like coffee? If so the strawberry is quite nice with some coffee - kinda like a strawberry latte

You're doing so so well - hang in there

[Jubbly]

Oh and another thing. I'm very naughty and have had a fag the last two nights, a few weeks after I'd managed to kick it. I have never smoked much - a "social smoker" - however I had been smoking more since January when I had a period of stress. It's just some stupid thing in my head that says "go on, you can't eat or drink, may as well have a ciggie!!". Badness.

Aw, thanks Toots (I love the name, do you remember the film about the transsexual??). Coffee and strawberry sounds erm, interesting, but I'm willing to give it a go in the name of experimentation. I have recently come round to "real" coffee but tend to have it with loads of milk and a sugar!

I am willing to forgo some social occasions (I did the first time) and he did, bless him, remain more sober last night but it was only the two of us going out. He has been more supportive of this diet than previous boyfriend and more thoughtful. Having said that I don't think he actually likes me doing VLCD but he respects my decision (at least he actually notices what I'm doing!!). It's just unfortunate that he drinks so much but then I'm sure that this is a problem couples have had since the dawn of time...

We're off to the zoo today x

Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie? Yup I remember it (so showing my age) - oh and am deffo a female & always have been :giggle:

Stick a load of sweeteners in the "latte" it is actually quite palatable!!

You're lucky that Boyf is on board - even if he doesn't agree with VLCD he respects your decision - sounds like you have a good un there

Enjoy the zoo

Ah, "Tootsie", I got the name wrong. Dustin Hoffman is pretty awesome though.

I am now watching Masterchef. It's a bit like looking at porn without indulging. They are making a very big deal out of a profiterole tower thingy, the music on the programme is totally ridiculous, like someone died. All the chefs are thing, how does that even happen....? Never trust a thin chef I reckon. x

 

[Jubbly]

Obviously I meant "thin" and not "thing". That doesn't make any sense at all.

God Clare, get OFF Minimins and stop waffling on...

 

[Toots]

. All the chefs are thin, how does that even happen....? Never trust a thin chef I reckon. x

My dad's a thin chef and his food is :drool: but he's a lucky bugger who can eat what he wants (why didn't I get THAT gene?). Know where you're coming from tho!!!!
