So, still significant! You can't ignore Valentine's day. Christmas is also commercialised but we all still celebrate that. Christmas markets, Christmas songs, buying everyone a Christmas present - surely that's worse than a bunch of flowers and a chance to remind your loved one that they're special to you?

Can, and did

That's a good point Elle!

It is a good point but its like the second bite of the cherry for the likes of supermarkets and a chance for florests to put their prices up to meet the demand and cash in. Then, of course, there's mothers' day! When the kids were little I used to do a tea for mothers' day for the two mums, spent all day sorting stuff out ready for them to arrive and make it nice - it didn't really occur to anyone that I was a mum too and was doing all the work. The kids did some nice little things though - secret little pressies, home made cards etc x

I've never gone really, I have always been reading the thread...just never really had much worthwhile in the way of input!

Get you though, Puggs! How skinny are you?! Absolutely mental. I have noticed that it seems to be the men that set themselves a weight loss goal and meet it a lot easier than us girlies do. Blimey, really proud of you!

Good news for me today though. Thought I'd get on the scales and assess the damage. They put me at 12st 5 which, I THINK, puts me in the healthy category Ammunition to keep it going. I'd like to stay in the healthy category from now on lol. xxx

 

[elle2585]

Ooh yay, 24.8 Score! xx

I think men are just more...dunno the word, willing to prove a point I think...STUBBORN!

I know plenty of women on diets in work and all it takes is an "ah go on, one <insert bad thing here> wont kill you". And they crumble. Try that on a guy at your peril. It then becomes "Oh I wont wont I? Well just watch!"

 

[Taz]

Yay Elle that's great! Congrats on being healthy!

You have a point there Puggs. I'm not sure it's that we are weaker, more that we are more sociable therefore easier swayed by our peers.

 

[elle2585]

Hahaha. Yes. Although for me it's just a case of eating without thinking. Yesterday I had a chocolate biscuit and a few handfuls of cheesy doritos before I realised that I should probably stop. You'd have thought the idea of needing to fit into a wedding dress would have stopped me lol.

 

[Taz]

Sometimes the chocolate shouts louder than the dress!

Wont meet a more social wee creature than me

We're just stubborn!
