Awww Tan they're really FAB!!! What a brilliant backdrop with the water etc. I hope it wasn't cold! I've never seen graduation pics like that, they're great! I hope you're justifiably proud of yourself! Quite a purple thing going on there too - my favourite colour!
Strange question I bet nobody else has asked ..... are your eyelashes your own? LOL!! If so - what mascara do you use because they're FAB!!! If I could only own one item of anything in the world (and I include clothes in that despite what I look like without them!!!) it would be mascara because I wouldn't be seen dead without it!
Once again CONGRATS!!!! xxx

Ah the graduation was held up on the hoe ... have you heard of plymouth hoe?
It is very nice scenery up there and it wasnt cold today just a bit grey and thankfully no rain!!!
And yep, my eyelashes are my own
I use maybelline XXL PRO extensions mascara. Its expensive, £10 but definatly worth it - i dont go anywhere without wearing it either - i dont wear eyeshadow or anything like that just mascara (and on occasions i just put on a bita face powder and blush) xx

Yes - I have actually BEEN to Plymouth Hoe ..... long time ago but nevertheless!!
I'll deffo be trying that mascara! My Max Factor 2000 calorie is about £8.50 so not that much different. HaHa - just realised - even my mascara has food references in it LOL!! xx
PS - I'm not surprised you don't use much else in the way of make up - you don't need it - I'm not jealous ..... honest xxx

xxxPics are brilliant Tanya, you and your family deserve to be so PROUD..........Well done girl.
Agree with the eyelashes, they look super.
I have long eyelashes, but very fine and fair. I only use mascara when going somewhere, but I might just invest in your one for my jollies. Cheers for the tip.

BUT THEY BLOODY FITTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!! Well done on the 14s!!!! FAB!
Not sure I can spare another 20mins to put mascara on - by the time I've plastered the polyfiller on and filled all the cracks it's time to take it off again & go to bed
Hope they do it in Brown or Brown/Black though - Black looks too severe on me imo xx

Your photos are really lovely...I had a look the other day and I just didnt have time to come in and tell you! What a proud moment for you, your parents and your b/f! Well done and hopefully this is the start of a new chapter in your life
Well done on the Size 14's...it is a lovely feeling isnt it and it just gives you the motivation to keep going when you are feeling fed up and down.
Looking forward to hearing you say you are in the 12s...wont be too long!
Take care sweetie!!! Have you heard anything on those 4 voluntary jobs yet?

No i still havnt heard anything yet iris :sigh: :cry:
Im having a bit of a down day today. I'm constantly thinking about food, wanting to eat it, cook it, bake it and taste everything in sight
I never felt like this first time around so i think its safe to say i am actually feeling that its harder 2nd time around.
Ive been toying with the idea of losing a further stone then losing the rest myself just so's i can eat again but then i think well i dont really want to eat again as im just guna get fat again .... i just dont know what to do :cry:
Im not sure i can go another 9 weeks on tfr ... but then i know im not ready to start eating again yet because i keep getting the urge to 'binge' :sigh: but yet if i do come off of tfr without reaching my goal im guna be a failure :sigh:
I guess its one of them days .... again! :sigh:
Jeez theres a lot of sighs in my post today! lol

aww honey, you are right it's just one of those days. an i'm convinced it's harder 2nd time round. my gap was about 3 years and it was still very tough never mind only a summer for a gap!
chin up sweetie, but regarding losing another stone and then refeeding - if we say that'll take a month - then you're only a few weeks away from your initial stop date anyway.
oh - and on what planet are you a failure?!!
sleep on it hun xxx

Mess of Refeeding
Started my refeeding and already have made a mess of it
Had lunch out with the girls and was very good to start with
~Had water instead of wine - great
Had poached salmon with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, peppers - fantastic
then they were all having appple crumble and custard and i said no then i gave in and had a little custard.
when i cam home i had 2 wine gums and a be-yu bar
I now am disgusted with myself having worked so hard
all i can think about is food an what will i eat next
When i was on TFR i was excellent never thought about food
i have such a sweet tooth I am now craving jellies not haven eaten them for the past 4 1/2 weeks:sigh::break_diet:

oh Tanya i know exactly how you feel, thats the feeling i had when i came back of hols and had intended to go on TFR but you have stuck it this far hon which is fantasic i didnt get past day 2!
only you can make up your mind honey, no matter what people say to you, best of luck with your desision

Aw Tanya.....firstly, you are ANYTHING but a failure, far from it! You have just graduated and are a clever girl. Secondly, you did amazingly well on TFR the first time round.....so, what failure ?????
You struggled with your binges, but I think that was more the fact you were going from one holiday/weekend away, etc..to another so your mind wasnt totally focussed. I am sure of it. I dont think it was the fact that you dont have any self control with food!
I am with Nicola on this too...only you can make your mind up! Listen, my initial goal was to do TFR till I got to 10 stone, but after a week of real mind wrestling, I knew that I had to come off it. I certainly didnt feel a failure about it....who said that TFR is the yardstick for being a success or a failure????? Only you....so, come on my wee pal Tanya, look at what you have achieved.
Maybe at this minute you need mini goals, and I dont think you are a failure if you decide the goalpost has changed either.
LT is great for speed, but I have come to realise that it is only us that put pressure on ourselve...if you do want to come off TFR and lose it healthily then so be it and it will take you longer...but what is the hurry anyway???
Sorry I am waffling, but I am just kinda giving you a bit of an insight into what I felt too at the same cross roads as you.
You decide sweetie; take all the advice, but as Doirin said to me, the answer lies only with me....and that is the same with you.
Whatever you decide you are a success!!!!!!!
Take care and let us all know how you are doing and getting on.
Could be just one of those days

Oh dear! Sorry you're having a wobble Tan but I bet it IS just one of those days. It's still early days kiddo .. be kind to yourself and don't make any hasty decisions. Remember how you just wanted to be back on TFR when you WERE eating. You said how much harder it was with all those choices etc.
I'm not trying to pursuade you to stay on it, I'm just reminding you and asking you not to be hasty. It may well be , when you've had a good think about it, that stopping and going on to healthy eating might be what's right for you. All I'm saying is don't forget it's a human characteristic to think that the grass is always greener ....
What you don't want is to be chopping and changing from one to the other, so make sure you know what you want.
Best of luck and I hope, by the time you read this, that you'll be feeling a whole lot better anyway! xxx
PS - I can't leave mascara on overnight - I get up looking like a panda! OH NOOOO!! No Brown??? xx
