shut up shut up shut up

shut the fuck up about the women in the dove advert. I remember seeing them and thinking how I would kill to be as thin as them.

Now I'm sat at home by myself bawling my fucking eyes out. I need a fucking hug :(

I would gladly batter anyone that said they were fat. I have never been as thin as any of them and to think that people are calling them FAT? Fucking hell that is such an insult to me.

I remember seeing the adverts and thinking that they had no wobbly bits either.

OH FUCK I NEED SOMEONE HERE :((((((

I am cheered up, it's just... you know some days, everything's fine. I can cope with being my size, and then one day someone calls someone you'd consider thin, fat. and you want to kill people.

When I've got more money and time I'll do something, but this week, it's not possible

but thanks

Seriously, you sound like you're putting it off and blaming your money situation. [time I can understand though; some things do take time]

You don't _need_ the gym or to spend anymore on your well-being and fitness! Yeah you've heard the cliches in the past; but if you change certain things in your everyday life it'd be a positive. Walk up and down the stairs a few times, don't take lifts, stop at the bus stop one before your actual destination's bus stop and walk the rest, park the car further away, simple things like that. Keep an eye out for the things you cook and drink. Nowadays I've cut out fizzy drinks and replaced them with fizzy water (which I like.) If I really want flavour I usually add dilute to taste low calorie tesco's value lemon stuff to it for a delicious refreshing lemonade (it's really cheap too! Tescos do 18p for 2litre bottle of fizzy spring water and 35p for 1l low cal dilute to taste value lemon.) Keep a note of intake and outtake; and whenever you go to eat something try to take note of how you're feeling at the time.

The best way I'm doing it is to have a scale set in my mind. I keep in mind that 100g of tesco's steak cut oven chips for example has 1.4g saturated fats. I then compare all that I eat against that scale. So for example, a 25g packet of walkers crisps has 3.5g saturated fats! That means 1 packet of crisps = 300g of oven chips (ridiculous!) One 33g croquette is 1.6g sat fats; thus 1 croquette = 100g chips. With this scale in mind it makes it perfectly obvious what's good and what isn't...

But yeah; I only suggest this cos this is what works for me; not sure if the same thing works for you but you could try.

And it doesn't take too long and doesn't cost you anything!

ok, it does sound like I'm just making excuses, but I'm allergic to squash :(

and I find that to buy things like meat and salad and fresh vegetables costs more than 50p pizzas and 99p for 300g chips. I do make pasta in sauce, which is good if you don't add the milk and butter, but eating at University when there's no microwave or hob, and salad goes limp in my bag is kinda hard :/

once the summer comes and I'm working and not going to Uni, I should be better
[and I don't drive, and walk the 45 mins to work and back :) ]

i agree about the money part - you dont have to throw money at a gym to exercise - BUT it is much more expensive to eat healthily.

processed food is much cheaper than the good wholesome stuff - for example, multipack of biscuits 99p, bag of apples £1.70 - now which lasts longer /makes you feel fuller/ feeds more people?! and thats only one item - try adding that sort of stupid price difference up for a whole weekly shop!!

its one of my MAJOR irritations at the government that they have this war on obesity and still let the stuff thats bad for you be the only option some people can afford. ffs, they think stopping obese people driving is a viable option to get people to lose weight but subsidising healthy food isnt?! grrrrrrrrr... dont get me started...
