Eating
I go from being a very good girl one day to eating like a pig the next one (proper pig: croissant+another pasty for breakfast, 2 bananas, fruit all day, some chichen and mashed potatoes thing for lunch, 1 big bag of peanut M&Ms, half a quiche, some salad with more chicken and cous-cous and crisps)

I'm never going to be slim for January.

I'd rather smoke 30 a day than be fat (not that I'm suggesting you are)

Well, I could lose some weight
But I'm not a whale. I rather be as fat as I'm at the moment than smoking.

Sensible choice
however if you smoke enough you might lose a lung which I reckon weighs a few pounds!

^this
Some days I'm fine, other days I have no idea why but I can't seem to stop eating
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:04, Reply)

Me too
It's like if something was burning inside me and I had to eat and eat, non stop.

exactly
I've tried just having fruit/ low calorie things around, but it doesn't really work.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:15, Reply)

It doesn't, does it?
It's like a craving for carbs and fats. And salt.

I hate those days. I'm ok today, but yesterday was awful.

i like the idea of being thin
but planning meals (like they seem to demand in diet books) makes me want to tear my eyes out

Just eat less
It's a piece of piss. Forget the diet books.

Eat a balanced diet, and eat less than you would normally. You'll feel hungry but once you get used to it, you'll find it OK.

I do that, but I really need to
do a big deal one to lose a decent amount thanks to dumbass thyroid issues. Currently the gym is my friend

diets always suggest giving up coffee
and I'd rather be fat than do that.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:10, Reply)

Coffee freaks me out how can something
that smells so good taste so foul.

I think that about herbal teas
coffee is brilliant. Although I toyed with the idea of switching to decaf and Wiggy said "you know people don't drink coffee for the taste right?"
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:21, Reply)

I only have a couple a day
But if I have a work day without coffee, I get splitting headaches. Oddly doesn't effect me on weekends though.

I hate coffee
I'm with Bobby: smells good, tastes awful.

When I need a coffee I follow carefully this recipe to avoid dissapointments:

Pick a big mug. Put 1 finger (horizontally) of coffee, add milk, heat, add 6 full tea-spoons of sugar. It's just about drinkable.

Or bung a shot of espresso
in to a mug of good quality hot chocolate. It's drinkable that way, too.
(berk, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:47, Reply)

I don't like chocolate either
unless it has milk, biscuits and peanuts.

I still have a child's palette (not sure of spelling) I don't like coffee, whisky or beetroot or ale.

You don't like ale?
Really? Bah, and I thought you were a nice guy.

Cider me up landlord.
I used to love Ale when I first started drinking then I discovered cider and never went back.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Yes
they suggest stop drinking beer. I can't stop drinking beer. Beer is gooooood

simple
just replace with a pint of delicious low calorie vodka
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:14, Reply)

Mmmm
delicious
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:27, Reply)

then get used to not being as thin as you'd like
simple as that.

to complain of?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:21, Reply)

I reckon
if I stop eating and do lots of exercise, I could still have beer and get thin.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:27, Reply)

and die of malnutrition

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Yes
But slimmer.

corpses are all slim after a while

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 14:55, Reply)

I'm not willing to wait
though I have lost a stone recently

I can recommend a course of flesh-eating bacteria

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 15:14, Reply)

I have considered the merits more than once
but I don't think I'd want to take the risk of dying. Also harder to source than you might think
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 15:16, Reply)

I hate that as well
I did it for a while, but I don't have the time or patience to do it. Counting every single thing to make sure you prepare it right and you're not eating too much.
