That would definitely be a much smaller number and then I could eat the all the cheetoes I want! I mean I weigh less than 10! Here in the US, I'd be on a feeding tube for sure!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877564312244508811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-48755787158217917032011-04-07T14:46:30.725+01:002011-04-07T14:46:30.725+01:00You hit the nail right on the head.

That word diet sabotaged me for years, just something about it feels like failure before you even begin.. And just for the record, you're not fat!

I wake up every morning telling myself that today I'm going to start eating properly - it's easy, I tell myself, just eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and NO SNACKING!!! Unfortunately, by the time 10.30 comes around, if I've been indoors working on an essay, I get the munchies. It's even worse by 3.30 when the kids come home, I find myself eating unconsciously!! Then when I've taken doggy for a walk for an hour, I justify my next snack for the fact that I've just done some exercise. Round and round it goes!! By the way, don't you think they should change the wattage in those bulbs in the change rooms?? Dim lighting would be so much sexier!Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753476927607441162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-78904409142227846342011-04-05T16:36:51.521+01:002011-04-05T16:36:51.521+01:00You know what?

But now I look at the photos of when I wasn't happy with myself and realize I was OK, from time to time more than just OK. Now I look at myself at 56 and realize I looked pretty good for my age and when I'm 77 I'll no doubt think I look good now. But, I do admit, it's taken a long time to come to this realisation! :)Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-65458193342992126362011-04-04T22:36:17.672+01:002011-04-04T22:36:17.672+01:00Lo - I LOVE your anger.
