Hi Gem!

I totally know how you feel. Because when I look in the mirror I am convinced I look the same, I have been tempted to carry on losing but I know I am skinny enough now not that I can actually see it yet. Hopefully we will both be able to get over that soon and just focus on keeping it off and having a healthy lifestyle. And a healthy attitude to food.

I find that now ive lost the weight, I've started to stress about other stupid things I didn't care about before- now I'm convinced my eyebrows are really asymmetrical and keep getting really stressed about it. Stupid really but I'm trying to be sensible about these things (particularly as there's nothing I can do about that one... Unless anyone knows of an Eyebrow Straightening World I can join?!) - I'm going to get a fringe to cover up my eyebrows!

I know I probably sound like a crazy person but I'm starting to wonder if psychologically we are destined to never be happy with ourselves? Ho hum!

Hey Jules,

I dont think you sound like a crazy person. You are totally right, i dont know if i have it in myself to totally be happy with myself, and i think a lot of women (and men) are the same. For example, another area i am now worrying about is my boobs! I know you mentioned yours have shrunk too which you are pleased with. Well i liked mine! They were the one part of my body i was actually proud of lol! Now they are a bit...withered looking I am already thinking a boob job down the line after children might be a good idea hee hee! Not that i regret the WL. I knew this would happen when i made the decision to lose weight. Just another example of how your focus can shift.

Anyway on another topic it sounds like you had a fab weekend. I was laughing when you were saying about your mum. I think most of us have issues with our parents. My Mum would be exactly like yours (but she would probably ask me to write it all down FOR her) and i would be tortured with phonecalls and txts for about a week until she gave up!

Advice please ladies!

Hey all

I have a wedding to go to on Friday. Does anyone have any advice on what they would do? I have no idea of the menu at all. I will only be having a few glasses of wine but its going to be hard for me to work out syns as i dont know the menu and on the day i am really not on the ball enough to estimate what i am having! Help!!

Any guidance would be much loved

Ooh, I like a good 'do'! Is it a formal affair hun? Sometimes a 3 course meal is offered and there's usually a healthy(ish) option for a starter. With a bit of luck it will be something like melon I think you'd be safer on an EE day - you'll only have one HEA & HEB but it might make choosing suitable nibbles easier at the wedding.

Enjoy!

OK! I guess i could eat fruit and FF yog for brekki which would leave me my HE's. I think its a set sit down meal for the wedding dinner so i will have to take what i get! Dont know if i will be able to resist the dessert though! Thanks!x

 

[julesm]

I agree, there is usually melon, soup or something fatty / cheesy for starter, fish meat or veggie for main (but the veggie option usually involves pastry so prob wouldnt count on that) then pud. It could be ok, not too bad but I would save a few syns so you can enjoy yourself! Xxxx

I know its funny watching people stuff their gobs with stuff that, as I was thinking this morning "has zero nutritional value" and they do it everyday without a second thought. X

 

[julesm]

And I bet for how much it fills you up it had looooads of calories. Well done on having only half a slice though as it is sooo yummy. Darn it, now I am craving marmalade!!!
