Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Had a k apple and muesli bar which was gross, choc mam and going to have vanilla shake later, plus cottage cheese.
 
I've just had a little bit of a revelation that I think might help me lots with my body image problems. I've just been watching a programme on tv, and one of the girls was gorgeous but had quite big arms. She was thin and toned but her arms were bigger than expected. They looked strong rather than fat.

I've always been paranoid about my big arms and broad shoulders, caused by swimming my whole life. But instead of hating them, I'm going to work on toning them up and making them look strong. Why could I not have realised this when I was 18 and they WERE toned and strong??
 
Strong arms :) like it :):):)

Mine have 'gone south'! Lol

Throat is killing me! Fell off track yesterday evening. So weak. Got to start today! Might be easy cause I'm finding just swallowing hard to do without the though of passing food through my swollen throat! Ow! 6th time I think now! Fed up is an understatement! When do they decided to take them out these days?!?!?
 
I'm exactly the same, very big a broad. I always say I'm built like a brick sh!thouse!!! Just summat we gotta get used to, some blokes like a strong woman, I know OH foes. He wouldn't be attracted at all to a skinny petite fragile looking girl.

:)
 
True. Some like sticks but most like Amazonian goddesses, strong!
 
Well after that programme I had a good look at my arms and they're fine until about halfway up my upper arm when the bingo wingage begins. That's what I need to work on, reducing the amount of flab there and I'll be fine to accept my bigger muscly arms. As for my stomach nothing is going to resolve my top over hang that I'm just going to have to learn to live with I think, because I'm never going to get down to a weight low enough (9st ish) for that to go. :(
 
10:45 and still deciding what to do today! My car desperately needs washing, so I guess I should do that really. I need to keep busy. I was very antsy last night, I felt like I NEEDED to eat everything in sight, fortunately there was nothing to eat.
 
Hi Sal,

It looks as if you had a lovely weekend.

I can totally relate to your body dismorphic thoughts -- and when people make a casual comment it can really affect you. I had someone tell me (when I weighed about 8.5 stones - a bmi in the low 20s) that I had chunky legs, and someone else tell me that I had "kinda fat arms for a girl" around the same time. It made me diet until I ended up weighing less than 7 stone (I am almost 5'4")!

So, now I focused on what is healthy -- but then I have had years a struggling and feeling bad about myself and my weight to learn to listen to medical experts and not Ar$ehol3s.
 
One shiny waxed car :D Figured 'wax on wax off' would work wonders for the 'Wings of Bingoton', arms are aching now! I realise that it's probably going to pour down at any moment lol.

I've been having a big think :eek: no wonder I've got a headache!! I was talking to my mum earlier about why I can't seem to stick to CD for longer than a couple of days. She wondered if it was because I know that I've got a big meal out with the girls coming up on Saturday. It's been planned for a long time because we hardly ever see each other, altogether.

I guess she could be right. I don't know for sure but I'm going to listen to her advice of sticking to damage limitation, low carbs if I slip up. Then on Sunday the 8th back on it with no interruptions. I feel like a bit of a failure because I haven't been able to leap back on the wagon but I'm not giving up!!!
 
Been feeling the exact same Hun. Have enjoyed my meals out etc, but have felt so angry at myself every time ie either decided not to restart today, or have tried and failed to do so. Have set tomorrow as the day coz all my 'occasions' ended today (for a couple of weeks at least!!), and think tomorrow is my best shot. If not it's back to the drawing board to examine if I'll ever feasibly be able to do it 100% again!! For the minute though, I'm giving it a shot!!

Enjoy your occasions!!

:)
 
Good luck with it chick. I just 'allow' myself to give up or slip up because I know I've got this meal and deep down I think there's little point getting into ketosis at this point because the meal with certainly knock me out. So I'm just going to try and keep going but if slip up, it's no biggy. But as of Sunday I HAVE to get back on it!
