Smelly Elle's fantastic diary: Weight Loss? What Weight Loss?

Hi elle,

why don't you finish your law degree and then look at acting? Meanwhile, Sutton has quite a good amateur dramatic society at the Highbury little theatre.

I finished my law degree 2 years ago lol. Infact I ended up with BA in History with Law. And also it's not acting I'm interested in, it's writing and basically making the production happen. Producer? haha... Well, im slowly getting to grips with some scripts n stuff... i dno. we'll see what happens..

 

[Jim]

ah OK, that will be interesting, I know a guy who did drama. producing at uni, he is still looking for full time work but does do the amateur production stuff.

that quorn cottage pie (i got it wrong the first time) is going to be leaping into my mouth shortly i think. i'm going mad!!

 

[elle2585]

hmmmm...totm? I had a 199 cal lentil salad with feta cheese for lunch and then had an almond and apricot with a yoghurt coating 'eat naturals' bar. BECAUSE I HAVENT HAD ONE IN AGES AND THEY'RE MY FAVOURITES I realise there must be many calories in them but it doesnt say on the pack.

p.s. theres a blueberry and pistachio one that i have to try too.

 

[elle2585]

228 cals! not as bad as originally thought. 199 + 228 = 427 cals for lunch. phew, not too bad, not too bad at all... *wipes forehead* x

 

[elle2585]

p.s. on second thoughts, the blueberry one has 469 cals...hmmm. dont think ill be eating that any time soon.

 

[Taz]

Yikes! That's crazy!

 

[Jim]

469 Cals, isn't that half the recommended daily calorie rate.

 

[elle2585]

pshhh...what a crap website i was looking at. there certainly arent that many cals in the blueberry one. there are 211! yay.

ooh theres a lovely peanut, pistachio, cranberries and milk choc one for 190cals. i DEF need to try that one. Sorry lol, im ranting on. i do love my nut bars and i haven't had one in ages. methinks ill print off the calorie list.

 

[abz]

thankfully i dislike all nuts unless involved in marzipan or nutella both of which i'm trying to avoid. so not a problem for me

i was looking at the starbucks website the other day though. now THAT'S scary!!

[elle2585]

yes, never look at the starbucks website abz. haha. i only ever have a drink in there, never anything more. Did you manage to take a look at that tv programme btw? the one on why thin people aren't fat?

the way i see these nutbars are that if i choose a lovely bit of salad for lunch, like that 136 cal chicken caesar one, i can afford to eat one. and i reckon theyre just a bit better than chocs.

oh btw everyone i've been doing my exercises again each night...

[Jim]

I'll have to go and have a look at the Starbucks site, not that I've been in one for years.

 

[abz]

if you drink anything other than black filter coffee elle, it's lethal. even their tazo teas have over 100cals in them. and once you get into coffee with milk it gets worse and flavourings are lethal!! over half my daily allowance could go on a cup of coffee!!

[elle2585]

Black americano? that's what i have because the filter coffee is yuk yuk. or a black tea. not tazo tea, just tea.

 

[nexangelus]

Star*ucks!!! I Don't do it, just like I don't do MacDs and the such...and nutbars are way better than choccie Elle, a handful of nuts has way more nutritional value than a choc bar by far (although I do class 85% cocoa solids plain dark choc as food mmmmm)...I love nuts, peanut butter, almonds, soy nuts, etc, etc...I don't do them much mixed with dried fruit though, that seems to spoil the nuttiness...will get to watching the link pronto, just have to sit still for longer than five minutes...and WAY TO GO on the exercising, keep it up, it is sooooo worth it...

Aww starbucks, ive been avoiding the place for ages! mainly because of how expensive it is! But also im not a massive coffee or tea drinker - so I get frappacinos, loaded with cream and syrup... so tasty but i swear they must be like a weeks worth of calories!

 

[Georgiestar]

I dont go to starbucks but usually I end up going for a capucino in a cafe in town and sometimes cake! oh no im going to foss park tomorrow :S

 

[nexangelus]

WOW! That BBC programme was ace Elle, sat down and watched it, it was fun too and interesting. It explains quite a bit with regards to my beau trying to fight hunger, he used to be nearly 19 stone at one point and he says trying to lose weight is very very difficult: it's because his body is programmed to think that his bigger size is his normal weight...hmmm...I'll get him to watch it...he's so despondent sometimes!

THANKS again, well worth the watch!

 

[elle2585]

Ugh...guys, me no can do this anymore for some reason this totm, though not as painful as normal, has just left me with amassive massive craving for choc and bread. I cant stop myself. I know, i know, im feeling sorry for myself. i just cant do it, I FEEL SICK but i'd still eat any chocolate in front of me now!! i don't get it What do i do?? Help!
