Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time! Here to send back some of the tough love you once sent me, which worked!You can do it! I agree with Binky... have you cooked your favourite sw friendly meal? Red thai curry always brings it back for me at the moment! x
! I just thought it amazing that I felt like that's similar to how I look in my undies - strange.
Thanks so much for reading through! It's actually ALL of you guys who I owe the thankyou too. You may think that I'm inspiring you by just talking about my journey but I can assure you ALL, Its each and everyone of YOU that are inspiring me. Inspiring me to keep on track, keep on writing about it all, helping me work through the ups and downs of my journey. I can only hope you guys have got your own thread and you all are experiencing people commenting and gee'ing you on and telling you that you inspire them because I tell you what It certainly makes me want to write more on here, It makes me want to kick butt with my meals and keep on track and carry on being having a thread you all enjoy coming to read to get inspiration from. Not sure if that makes me big headed but.. wel.. at least its honest and at the moment I'll take all the motivation I can get x
They are making me smile atm! Like I said in the above message ^ There is nothing quite like hearing you are inspiring others to help inspire yourself. It's bringing me out of my funk so thank you for taking the time both you and waffle, to read my little thread and comment Means the world having you here! I'll post a bit later this evening with pics and results of my WI but I know I've done alot of excercise and I've been good. I dont know if this makes sense but instead of cheating or scoffing food in my mouth, I've been taking the hit mentally? So it might not show on the scales I've had a bad week but It's certainly showing in my mood, In my want to socialise and be around people etc.. Think it will be good to stay away from bread and pasta this week, just a few potatoes in the soup and the odd packet of snackerjacks etc. There are LOADS of places you can buy clothes depending on your size and style. Newlook Inspire are my gods, then asos curve and simplybe. I have a new post going up on when I went to the Simple Be store in London so you'll have to keep an eye out for that :x They have some AMAZING bits atm! ) I think its nice to know there are others on here that are my size and are going through the motions to lose weight etc. xxxI am so glad to hear you are feeling better, life can be tough sometimes and yes it gets in the way of our good intentions, but having a chance to reflect on the things that are making you down, and seeing what you can do about this is the first step. Do you know what I find keeps me focused? Planning and preparing my meals for the up coming week, figuring out whether I am going out, what I am going to have - I find lunchtimes at work can be difficult to organise. A salad alone doesn't always cut it and I am bored with them - so on Sunday I made a huge batch of soup and a huge batch of stew and this Sunday I am going to make a huge batch of Irish Stew and portion it off and keep some fresh for the week and some in the freezer. I really want to do it this time and your diary and the support of my mini-friends has given me a real boost this week.
I love Joe Brown stuff, but I never let myself buy it, it's like a tease to myself, but I won't let myself buy it until I get to the weight I want to be - which, like you is an unusually large weight to be target (for me its 14 stone) - until then I won't buy any Joe Brown stuff - it's stupid I know, but it's the aim.
By the way - I have a bone to pick with you, after I read your entire diary yesterday, I went onto your blog (I literally did no work yesterday afternoon!) and until yesterday I had no idea of the existence of ASOS Curve - you fiend, introducing me to deliciously gorgeous clothes for us bigger girls! And they are not Simply Be/ Fashion World/ Evans prices either - I am now stuck with tons of stuff in my basket and no money to pay for it!!!! There is specific could of dresses that I NEED -

I love your attitude with your body, I wished I could be so brave and unabashed. I was brought up in a very happy and loving home, but I was brought up to be ashamed of the way I looked and I still carry that attitude today. It's not as bad as it used to be but it has stopped me from doing things in life. A girl I used to work with who was big once surprised me by saying she wore a bikini and she was shocked that I never - she said "the way I see it is brown fat looks better than white fat!" so simple! I love that attitude and
I wished I could feel that way, I would just feel so ashamed and think that people were disgusted in me. I was talking to Mick (my fiance) about you last night, and said that you wore bikinis and does he think that I could get away with it and he said of course I should do it, he is a lovely man, and he likes a bit of meat on his ladies, but I am so scared of reactions of others (I know I shouldn't care, but I do) and feeling uncomfortable within myself. I am going to try a bikini on when I get in tonight and see - you have inspired me!
It's probably a strange thing to say but we have a very similar build, when I saw your underwear pics I thought immediately that that's how I look, frame wise. I have problems with bras, do you? I am a big back but I have a small cup, totally the other way to most people, although your bust looks bigger than mine - honestly I haven't been perving over your pics hun
Weigh in today! I'm feeing good. I've spendt most of my day doing house work and cooking some minestrone soup and my own scotch eggs. The soups is Syn Free and the scotch eggs worked out at 4 and a half syns each but I'm sure I can make them less. I used the WW pack of 8 which is 55cals per sausage so 55*8 =440 /20(20cals to 1 syn) = 22 and I used 5 eggs so /5 = 4.4 so If I tried to get 7 out of them I'm looking at 3.1 syns so may need to work on that but I'm gonna take them to my class at 7 as its taster evening so fingers crossed they come out ok
