You didn't have any lunch
and you had a pissant little whatsit bar for breakfast. I doubt highly that your calorie intake for dinner was 2000 calories, so I'm pretty damn sure you don't need to worry.
Go on then...taunt me with descriptions!
(berk, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:20, Reply)

it was prob more like 3000.
no lunch but it was a birthday at work, so i had a bakewell fingers and a chocolate eclair (the cadbury sweet, not the cream thing). doom.

between 2 of us, we ate: 2 buckets full of pitta, houmous, tzatziki, spicy feta dip. 1 x veggie moussaka. 1 x carrot/lettuce salad.

i might actually explode or stab myself until all the lard runs out into the dustbin!!!!!!!!! that being said, it was fucking delicious and it should be high on our hitlist when you guys come down to stay.

A. bakewell finger, and A. sweet?!
Today I have eaten an entire bar of cadbury's caramel and I am less bothered about that than you are about your single solitary finger and sweet!
It sounds fucking lush though. And hummous and tzatziki really aren't that fattening! Spicy feta dip sounds a bit more like trouble but it also sounds nomtastic...
(berk, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:26, Reply)

the spicy cheese dip is the best thing ever.
it seemed worth it at the time. now my new skirt is too tight and i am about to start crying tears of real cheese.

i should also add the restaurant always gives us free booze and i am many vodkas down...

Of course it is too tight now
but it will fit again in the morning. And I presume it's a size down from previously so it's still good!

2 sizes i think, actually
but your wise words are soothing my drunken savage beastery!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:35, Reply)

2 sizes, bloody hell!
and you are worried about it being a little snug after your dinner?!

i just have a guy to impress and... well you know what i'm like by now!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:41, Reply)

You will probably impress him more
if you are cool and calm about your body and not obsessing about it :)
(berk, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:42, Reply)

Cool and calm is the way to go.
But not too cool and calm, else he'll think he's getting the cold shoulder.

Well given it has taken me three years
and surgery to lose 3 dress sizes I think you are doing very - possibly worringly! - well. You are far too harsh on yourself (and if you have any nice sz 12 clothes that need a home I'm always happy to help, hehe)
(berk, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 23:58, Reply)

i hate the reason i gained any weight in the first place because it's so depressing
and i hate the fact that i let a man depress me so much that i stopped exercising in the first place! now i am enjoying it again, so am probably overdoing it, but it'll settle down, don't worry.

will bear this in mind for when i get down to a size 2....... how is your wardrobe looking for 2027??
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 0:04, Reply)

Well you must be a 12 or smaller now surely
if you've lost two dress sizes? No way were you bigger than that before. And the man situation does sound shit but at least you're rid of him now I guess. And you have potential new ones too!

oh yes
2011 is DEFINITELY onwards and upwards on the man front!

I hesitate to use the phrase 'skinny wee thing'
about someone both older and taller than myself, but yeah... it's all in your head love. You are NOT fat.

you're v sweet
but it's more in my stomach and thighs than my head. and the boobs. oh god. the boobs!

If only there was such a thing as a boobswap
you could have my pingpong-ball-in-a-sock efforts and I could have your belting pair of DD's (or whatever they are) you'd get bored right quick but you wouldn't fucking see me for dust, I would well abscond with them.

ha no you wouldn't
you'd soon bring them back when you got bored with ugly bras and men talking to them instead of your face and not being able to run for a bus!

berk would probably leave 5 minutes earlier than you.
So that is the bus argument dealt with.

no. Well - I am generally late for work and meeting people, but obsessively early if I have planes/trains/buses etc to catch.

I really don't think I would. I'm so bloody short that most men talk to the top of my head anyway, and at least I'd have an awesome rack.

They do that as they are wondering
'could I rest my pint there?'

I remember once being at a football match when Wendy Thoms
he UK's first 'female' line(wo)man was running the line

Somehow, she feel, dislocating her shoulder, only for everyone to start chanting
