nah - my legs have always been disproportionately short for my height (I have a very long body - when my husband (5'10") and I (5'3") sit next to each other, i appear taller than him!) - and really wide.
my thighs have always rubbed together - since i was 12 and quite skinny in other ways, no more than a uk dress size 6, certainly. Short fat legs run in my family. though not very fast!

Same for me unfortunately! My mums the same and she's never been big really, unless you class 12-14 as big thats the biggest she has been .

Floopin great news!
Careful they don't fly off now.... True story, picture the scene, running to catch the euston train, I make it with seconds to spare, leap through the door as it makes the infernal beeping noise and I am sans shoe - left lonely in lime street one solitary Kurt Geiger heeled brogue.
One very embarrassed lady on her way to the big smoke for a meeting at petty France. Gutted.
Night night princess!

spangles said:oh my god that will give me nightmares! not sure what's worse, the inconvenience of only having one shoe, or the pain of losing a fabulous shoe...
Believe me it was the shoe! I actually walked through euston to a taxi in my stocking feet, got in and asked them to take me to the closest womens clothing shop, after much adieu I ended up being taken to somewhere in Westminster with an M&S and where i met up with some granny esque ballet pumps. I never did get my shoe back! The shame. Moral of the story, even though your feet are chubby, it doesn't mean you will have gone up a whole shoe size! Im pretty certain that if they were a 6 as opposed to a 7 I would still have my beloved work shoes!

I'm really not sure how its got to Thursday already. The week has gone by in a flash. Today is whale day again, and I am not sure how I will have done.
I made the mistake of buying some things to try from Slim and Save. It wasnt a mistake. I am the mistake. I bought bars on recommendation of some of the others on here and the face book group. I cannot be trusted yet with anything that is remotely food like. I have almost inhaled the lot and feel bad.
So morale of the story is I have alot more work to do. 2 months on a TMRD is not enough time for me to lose the habbits of a life time. I still binge eat, and if I wasnt on this plan then the binge may have been lots worse. It may have been food that actually was damaging to me emotionally and physically.
So my question to you ladies is, what do I do with the bars that I have left? I dont feel like I can trust myself with them;
a) throw them in the bin
b) get my fella to hide them from me
c) keep them and test my will power to ignore their existance until I feel ready to eat in moderation (I really need to work on what moderation is).
Off to catch up with you all now xx

Oh dear! They are definitely yummy and quite small so you could be left wanting more afterwards. I find that having a bite then a few mouth fulls of water bloats me out so I don't want anything else afterwards.
I'd say get your fella to hide them, preferably somewhere with a lock!
And when you feel you are ready get him to just take out one for whatever day you want it for, be a shame to throw them away and waste your money but I would avoid them for a few weeks until you feel stronger xx

Do you think it was purely the bars that triggered it? Did you think about it as you ate them? What was the thought process? When I've had several of them it's always been that I justify that they are on plan, but when I remind myself of the cal and carb content I soon remember that 1 of them
Is on plan - no more!!!

For me it was similar to you, they are on plan, they are allowed, so I had them. I didnt have a conscious thought about the quantity, just that they were "allowed".
I need to think about this some more, but they are definately being sent to a hidden place with my man. And if I catch myself on the search for them around the house I promise I will come back here and tell you about it!
Here ends my confession. x

Woa the first picture is shocking! I'm not sure I like them promoting either ideal to us but it would make a change to see more varied and curvy shapes out there. I was once a size 6 through starving myself and I swear everything looked awful on me as I had no shape. At a 10 I'm still curvy and fill out the clothes. I've genuinely never understood why skinny girls only are used to model clothes when in reality a bit of meat usually makes the clothes look better. But I guess the difference is we dress up ourselves in clothes for ourselves, while fashion designers dress their clothes up onto people for the clothes sake. If that made sense!

There are different kinds of beautiful body, and it's a mistake to promote one over the other. She seems like a healthy size to me (and *how* supple?!), and is certainly sexy and womanly - that pose where she's reclining on her size is :rawrr: Reminds me of the sophie dahl stephen meisel shot for Opium:
over which there was so much outerage because a larger model had been used for a high-fashion campaign - when dahl was then (and is now, at a much smaller size) incredibly hot.
Although I aspire to being curvy and larger than the healthy BMI range, i think it's so damaging when you see these comments about 'real women' as opposed to 'twigs'. It isn't the answer. Just like the answer to sexism isn't endless jokes about 'manflu' and topless men in ads for diet coke. if the aim is tolerance and a lack of judgement and an equal playing field then we have to say 'it's ok to be any weight you're happy with, as long as you're healthy'.
as for fashion... when you put christina hendricks in a fabulous dress, you notice christina hendricks - fashion designers want us to ignore the model and see only the clothes. models are just advanced mannequins. and although it is annoying, to not see how clothes would hang on me, tbh it's more annoying that they don't have models of different heights.

Very true, especially that SD look hot! But also sooo tiny to how she looked when she first modelled. The thing that she has whatever her size is a presence and a sparkle. That is the thing that diets and lifestyle changes cant replicate. I guess its that star quality. I literally bumped into the Beckhams many years ago in a supermarket when they were living in Manchester. They glowed, shone, regardless of my opinion of either of them there really is something special about those kinds of people.

I'm back from the Whale in and its good news, its 3.5lbs off, which I am so pleased about. It means that I am over half way to my first target, with less than 30lbs to go until I can reconsider what I do next.
I know next week will be easier as I am back on the road, my praise goes out to all of you that stick to this diet and live with people who eat real food. At least next week I can close my hotel door and ignore the world from 7pm - 7am.
