emma-louise's food diary... about time too!

[giblet]

Oh no maybe your mum just didn't want to hurt you or didn't know how to say it. I guess as well that most people do put on a bit at uni so she might not have realised how much it was bothering you?
You are NOT an elephant - you look lovely on your picture!
Grrr....I already dislike Dave, lol. Are you sure he's not just thinking this is a way to see you because he knows you're focused, then he can work his magic (cos it's so much more difficult to resist when you see them?) He can also "be supportive" - look how much I'm helping you on your journey etc etc??? I hope I'm not being harsh - just trying to protect your heart. I liked someone for 8 years in the past, got messed around "because we were best friends". Nothing ever happened, but I missed so many opportunities, and in hindsight he would sabotage dates by suddenly turning up, or needing to see me because of a "crisis" and in the end I almost gave up looking. Until he moved on - and I ended up being the only one who his new girlfriend would talk to, lol. All fine now, but I didn't learn, and then got into another mess, for another 2 years, which only ended because I was lucky enough to meet my OH. Even then, both other people in their own ways tried to sabotage it, but for the first time I held strong, and I'm SO glad I did!!!
Whatever happens hon, if you need an independent listening ear, let me know.
Take care and have a great day x

yeah i understand she didnt want to upset me, and if im being honest if she had said something before i was ready to hear it i would have been really devestated - poor woman cant win either way!

ive just found some more fat pics lurking on facebook so i think im gonna add them to my album on here you will be able to see that infact i was an elephant!!

i do think Dave is using the gym buddy thing as an excuse to get close to me again, but he knows that im not gonna let anything happen while he's still with his girlfriend and he wont ever leave her so its a bit pointless for him really! he's gone off to global gathering this weekend anyway so hopefully he will be too busy having fun to be texting me!!

you're so lucky to have met your OH and im sorry to hear about your ex's misbehaving, men are so childish and they have the cheek to say that women are the ones who play mindgames! thank you so much for your advice and just for listening you're a star!! xx

[sarah83]

I'm quite impressed with your 16 yo bro's taste in food... shouldn't it be burgers and chips at his age!!
Should be yummy, prob best to just try and eat a small portion of the pie, and fill up on veggies.
Hope you have a nice time celebrating his bday x

 

[giblet]

Don't worry too much hon - just enjoy a bit and tomorrow is another day
Hope everyone is well x

yikes!! today has been baaaaad was definitely NOT planning on having two pies, but everyone else did and my uncle had brought them especially.. good news though, i managed to resist chocolate cake and spring rolls and prawn nibbly things! so could have been a lot worse - just going to try and keep to below 100 syns for the week i think and see if i can manage a loss! xx

 

[sarah83]

Glad to hear you had a nice time, it's crazy that just a couple of bits can bring your syns up so high!! Well done for your amazing willpower and resisting choc cake... not sure I would have managed that!

 

[giblet]

Hey well done for resisting cake and nibbles! Sounds like you def made the best of a bad job.
Well the hen and stag do was good Ate and drank way too much tho, and have been BAD ever since. Trying to get back on track, but finding it quite hard. I've not gone mad today, but keep saying to myself that tomorrow is another day.
Hope you're having a good day x

Hi missis - I think the way to look at your "man" problem is to enjoy the attention and be flattered that two men are fighting over you, what a boost to your ego - but dump them both, while Dave is in the picture you will never have closure or be able to move on. You are absolutely stunning regardless of your weight, stop putting yourself down, there is a robbie, enrique, john james etc waiting just for you round the corner!

Well done on the loss - am hoping you get your sticker so I can copy it next week, lots of love, donna x

 

[sarah83]

Good luck in your new job, let us all know how you got on later!!

JJ will be ready for you in a few weeks time lol! I am having real problems with minimins, I can't upload pics thru the paperclip like you taught me too, my favourite link keeps breaking and I can't remember how to add the sticker? tried but it didn't work, how do I do it?

How did your first day go, I remember my first day at work when I was 17 I absolutely hated it, I managed not to cry until I left the building and was so upset I walked into front of a No.73 bus!

Hope you had a good first day

Spill the beans what is your uniform like? is it orange and rather unflattering? lol! There is talk of us wearing a uniform at work and I must admit I am liking the idea more and more esp now I am losing weight - no changing 100 times in the morning or finding the top you wanted is at the bottom of the ironing pile or worst still wet in the machine!

Day 2 was much better, at the end of the day the champagne trolley arrived and I don't remember much after that, as for the bus - it survived lol!

 

[donnajt]

the site must be getting over its technical difficulties cos I was able to add my stone sticker finally! Thought I was going mad when it wouldn't paste, thanks Emma-Louise

PS you eat such delicious meals, you'd never guess you were dieting!
