| when i worked at a clothing store a while back a lady came to the counter to pay for lots of stuff, she had a double pram with 2 kids, and three older kids with her. she realised she'd lost her purse with her parking stub in it too. she was really panicking as she said her kids needed a feed. i went into my purse and gave her£20 and said the guys at the parking place would let her get her car if she had the money to pay. everyone in work said to me that she just hustled money off me! she came back the next day with the £20 and a big box of chocolates to say thank you....i shared the chocolates with them but i think they found them hard to swallow! |

| Sorry to hear about that. If it was me in your situation I would carry on with the exercise ( as said above-it is great for releasing endorphins and upping your serotonin levels to keep you happy and cope with stress) i'd also keep up with the healthy eating and keep trying to lose weight. getting off track because you comfort eat is hard to get back on track from. putting back on all that hard earned weight loss will definately kick your self esteem when its down. maintaining in an upset state is very difficult to do, speaking from experience. i wish you all the best |

| Marekat you probably are getting attention from males and dont realise it because you havent realised how good looking you are. once you get more confidence (more important than losing weight imho) youll be more approachable and then you'll be fighting them off! |

| Girls with confidence that carry themselves well. Too thin freaks me out, girls without hips or curves looks a bit a-sexual to me. I really really love a girl with a big bum and a wee waist, very sexy but if she hasnt got a smile to top it off it kinda takes the shine off her. I have the big bum, now I'm working on the wee waist! |

| Weight Loss | Handling Alcohol/cheat days | May 16 2008 09:22 (UTC) |
|
| I keep alcohol to a minimum, well as little as i can manage. I stay away from beer, if i do drink it it would be one in an evening. I try to drink vodka, whiskey or gin (around 70 calories) with a diet drink and have it in a large glass and use lots of the diet drink to make me feel like i am drinking more. (when everyone else is drinking beer, i sink the vodkas too quickly). when i know i'm going out or going to have a drink that night i do a little extra exercise that day. I have more recently been cutting my calorie intake per day by 50 calories so thats 350 extra for my 'cheat' day. |

| That kind of comment is unwarrented, no matter what size someone is, I agree. I have been around 190lbs before so i know i have come a long way, thats why i posted my stats. I'm sure lots of you agree that even though you can lose weight, the hurt felt from name calling still stings, whether you are at the lowest weight or highest weight. 'jarredwayne'.....I have had serious weight and self esteem problems and the serious health implications that go with them. i have persevered and lost (and gained) 50lbs over the course of many years, through binging, purging and crash diets. As I said before...the weight may go but the emotional issues take much longer. I am at a point now where I am starting to see lasting results through proper healthy eating and exercise and the comment made by that guy thumped me back to the way i felt when i was 14 and miserable. I posted about the experience hoping it would be cathartic and share in my hurt (and laughter!) with people who have experienced the same. People who have been ridiculed for not fitting into the 'slim club', and theres you ridiculing me for not fitting into your ideal of a 'worthy' dieter. this is a healthy lifestyle forum, not a fascist regime...so dont oppress me, please. ;) |

| yeah, he's a jerk alright. The stories my fiance comes home to tell me get worse and worse. I think he blurted out the comment that his co-worker had made and not realised. A case of the mouth opening before the brain engages haha everyone knows that he stole the cash, but as it cant be proven I think they have to wait til he slips up and they get him red handed. |

| My fiance told me because everyone in work seems to be having real problems with this guy (another chef told him what the bucktoothed guy had said and suggested he should get a punch).... He comes home nearly everyday and tells me another ridiculous thing that Bucktooth has done, last week he stole £20 from my fiance's tips and 2 months ago the head chefs wallet went missing (he was especially annoyed as it had pics of his recently deceased mother in it that must have been emptied of cash and thrown away). Anyway, as soon as he told me, my jaw clenched and he realised what he had done. My fiance has this total inabilty to lie or keep things from people. It's a good quality but a little annoying at times! |

| I took it and my skin all over my chest back and face broke into the most disgusting spots, they were so huge they were llike boils. I made me fart like nobodys business and gave me stomach pains. Less than a week all this started to happen and after i stopped taking the pills the gassy-ness took ages to settle down and as for the spots...I still have the scars on my chest to remind me. |

| I have a coursework deadline on Wednesday, so all my focus is on getting three essays finished and up to a good standard. My boyfriend has been making me my meals and snacks for me, he's a chef so as you can imagine..they aren't very low calorie. for lunch i had a big roast chicken sandwich, made with home made mayonnaise. I can't really complain as it was utterly divine! |

| how much have you lost? 14lbs is this the 1st time or a repeat performance? repeat..but this is the last time I'll need to do it! are you finished? not yet..still 10lbs more to go how long did it take? started in Nov, lost 8lb, Xmas/NYear was extremely stressful and I comfort ate and put 6lbs back on. Started again afresh in Feb and have steadily lost since then how long have you kept it off? Well I haven't gone back to my start weight from Nov...so since then really what approach did you use? From Nov I calorie-counted and moved more..after the Xmas/NY blip I tried a hypnosis CD/book from Paul McKenna, to try and deal with my comfort eating. It has worked like a dream!! |
