Alt Q: Favourite sandwich filling

Processed cheese.

Kraft, Dairylea, or Tesco's own processed cheese?

I've got a very skewed body perception
I often think I'm slimmer than I am. It's probably the main reason I walk into doorframes, but then again I go face first in to them as a general rule. If I were happy as a size 12-14, I'd stay this way, but I'd be so much happier as a 10-12 and even more so as an 8-10. I guess, just like getting a first, I'm going to have to work at it.

Erm, I'm just about to be the most terrible role model ever
but I got a gastric band. I was so utterly fucked off with dieting and exercising and it doing precisely fuck all. It worked though - and now I don't have problems with my joints any more I'm training for a half marathon, which I could never have done before.
I'm about a size 12 now, and sometimes I think - fuck, that was drastic, what the hell was I thinking? - but mostly it just feels fucking awesome.

EDIT - I will point out though, that although I have 'cheated' it basically only comes down to portion size: I eat the same stuff, just less of it, and I exercise a lot more because I can exercise a lot more without it crippling me.

BMI is an utterly stupid measurement
in many respects, because it doesn't take in to account muscle mass or build or anything. Steve Redgrave's BMI makes him morbidly obese, but he fucking isn't. I'm still squarely in the middle of the 'overweight' category for BMI - but then I did used to be just shy of morbidly obese.

I know it's dull, but running - if your knees can take the high impact - really does burn a fuckton of calories and tones up your legs something awesome. 30 mins of jogging = 350 calories burned or thereabouts. I also cycle to work, which is 6 miles every day (unless it's pissing down or snowing) which is another 500ish... I basically look at exercise as something which allows me to eat chocolate guilt free.

Stuff my mum buys me goes straight in the pile
I've seen pictures of lepers in Calcutta who have better dress sense than my mum.

My mum dresses very well.
I don't dress like my mum or my sister.

Neither do I, thank fuck
well, my sister dresses ok I guess. But my mum really doesn't.

Both of them are quite elegant
Sister is very Chanel-ish. Mother dresses almost exclusively in Toast (the brand not the foodstuff lololo). I wear vintage, highstreet and whatever is lying around on the floor.

sounds nice :)
are you looking for the jewellery online or in shops?

Both
I even went to the bead shop to see if I could make something that matches, but nothing took my fancy. I've seen a lovely necklace in Accessorize, but it's 1) not very 'me' and 2) bloody expensive for what it is.

Accessorize is rubbish
so expensive for everything. All the nice scarves in there are about twenty five pounds

But they have so many pretty things :(
the girly girl in me does a little glee every time I go in, and the grumpy northerner (not so much 'in' me as pretty much 'the rest of me') picks up the pretty things, looks at the prices and fucks off sharpish.

I'm not very girly
I like clothes but anything floral/pretty/floaty just makes me look like a 5 year old tub of lard

I'm similar, often
I've started trying on stuff that I wouldn't normally wear, and some of it suits me surprisingly well. I usually either look like butter wouldn't melt or feel incredibly stupid though!
And you're not fat AT ALL.

I guess I'm a bit stuck in my ways
though I am becoming increasingly fond of dresses.

I can't imagine being anything other than a jeans and tshirt girl
but I have started buying more 'nice' stuff for when I can be bothered to make the effort - much of which is dresses! Jumper dresses and boots in winter, mmmm.

Indeed
I have three or four jumper dresses which are pretty much interchangable, and some boots which get a lot of wear. They're so easy to just stick on. I do love winter

I'm out
Thank God for phones though.

Did almost nothing today, apart from some ebay shopping.
