I agree with you jar.. I have no desire to look like a beanpole. I love my curves... but why would a man want a beanpole with no hips or breasts?.. it's like beening with another man.. I just don't get it...
Atkins with one eye on the calories!
- Thread starter Hooya
- Start date
I don't think most men do want a beanpole. Most of the images of super-skinny women (in the media etc) are put there by women and gay men.
My OH and I have argued about this before, cos I always want to be skinny as I like how it looks in clothes, but he likes a few curves
Ask men if they prefer Victoria Beckham or Kelly Brook, who do they usually choose?

She looks miserable and she maybe a thin lady in general but she starves herself to be that thin... It's a difference for people who are naturally thin like my mom and sister, but for those who starves themself it's unhealthy..
I think charlotte churchill is curvy and beautiful and normal. The Poshes and etc.. of the VIP is not normal. I'm american and it kills me when they call a size 8 fat in hollywood. They consider beyonce and j. lo overweight and Eva Mendez they say is a bit chunky. these women are sizes 8 or 10...

Hooya reading your menu now I want a burger LOL
Well today was ok but I need to think about what I'm eating - still too much red and processed meat, and not enough veg I think! Didn't count either as I was at a party - barbecue which was great, there was loads I could eat!
Missing out on dessert at the end felt pretty normal - I guess I'm used to it as I don't drink alcohol, so I'm kind of accustomed to saying 'no'!
Will be weighing in tomorrow, a day early, as I want to know how the last week has gone and might have a carb-eating day tomorrow since we're going to the cricket at Lord's, which seems to be more about the food and drink than the cricket! Have planned a fab low-carb picnic for it - salmon, sausages, lovely salad, salami and cheeses

Hey Wrinkly - Lord's was fun, bit posh for my liking but fun!
Back on track today (after going a bit overboard yesterday) - worried I'm eating too much so going to cut back to 1300 cals and 20g carbs per day.
Today's food was a bit random - picnicing throughout the day at the cricket then small dinner, but my totals are:

I was up 3lb on my sneak wi today hooya but still intend on submitting my proper wi tmoz regardless..
Hi Claire
Looks like we didn't get quite what we wanted from this week's WI!
Just trying to remember that this isn't just about a smaller number on the scales every week, it's about addressing lots of other issues and breaking dependence on food / carbs - and I think we are doing fantastic on that score, even if those naughty scales don't agree today

Claire I agree with Hooya. I'm up 5 pounds on the scale but I know it's TOM so I'm not stressing about it. I tried on oneof my old dresses that is a 9/10 and it fit perfectly wore it today and my co-worker told me I look thinner and nice. so for me just getting into the dress was motivation and knowing that I'm doing well.. I'm a scale addict myself so I cant really talk but trying on clothes yesterday really helped me...
so I cant really talk but trying on clothes yesterday really helped me...Well it's conclusive then - sod those scales!!
