I eat pretty well with my one mistake being I usually miss either breakfast or dinner due to work. Exercise is my bugbear, I don't do anything, I don't walk anywhere. It's bad habits that have become routine but I'm working on it. |

This week I've had toothache, a two-day hangover and been poisoned by expired medication, I'm almost phobic of exercise in case I break.

I am under no illusion that any sort of 'starvation' diet such as the Cabbage Soup is a long-term solution. I have said quite a few times that the only reason I'm going to use it is to lose a few pounds for my ball, and I quite fully believe that I'll put them back on as soon as I stop. After that I am going to go fully into the 'healthy eating and exercise' thing. I honestly don't think many people on here are going to go in for long term faddish diets - the 'tips' thing is probably tips to stop sugar cravings and healthy recipes.
If you know anything about the 'GI diet' you'd know that it is simply an extension of healthy eating, with the only 'fad' aspect to it the inclusion of certain foods so as to prolong your feeling of fullness and stop your cravings for snacks and sweets. And it really fucking works. It's medically approved and sustainable.
Oh aye, and exercise. But everyone knows about that  | |

My latset HEALTH REGIME is; swimming twice a week, no sweeties, no takeaways and no cider&black. It's horrible.

Pft, I have no idea what weight I am right now. I just know I have a put a bit back on, but I am putting it down to exams and working in a pub and eating full meals at odd times.
Hopefully getting back into care work and once I am settled again in a couple of months time I plan to do some swimming and netball with the University back in the next semester 
I'll do my stats once I get to a proper, working scale!
I also need to stop drinking fizzy juice get start carrying water about
Good luck everyone! | |

I suppose the downside is the possibility of being outed if you cave into a post-Absolution Riginals feast. Quote:

But it never works like that, hence why loadsa girls who have boob-jobs then start considering other operations.
When I was thin it didn't make my life that much better. I was marginally more confident, but there was still a lot about myself I wanted to change. But of course, now I've filled out and become all morose again the rose-tinted specs are back, and I'm convinced I'd be ten times happier with myself if I lost this half-stone. Lame, I know, but it's not like it's voluntary. | |
