in Introduce Yourself
Hello nice people!

I was here a few years ago and liked it a lot, and then my job got worse and worse and the chocolate and wine got better and better and I got lardier and lardier. My job is still rubbish but I'm getting used to the new normal, and I'm ready for getting control of my eating and embracing the dubious joys of exercise.

I had fabulous MFP friends before but when I fell off the wagon in spectacular style I deleted my profile in a fit of fatty rage. I promise to be more dedicated this time! If anyone wants to friend someone who has a LOT of weight to lose, please feel free to friend me! We could have some laughs on the way. ????

    Thanks Frankie! Invitation sent. ????

    Apparently wine is calorific. That makes me sad. (Sigh.)

    Same with meee. I also deleted my first account in a fit of rage - I was so on track, had all the great friends and then I dropped off the radar after I messed up and didn't bother for weeks. Work for me has also been poop lately and I feel like my diet and exercise are the only things I have control over now ):

    please feel free to add me. After my dad died i went off the wagon a bit too and yes wine has LOADS of calories due to the sugar someone told me its like drinking a cup of sugar xx

    I like to think that it's some sort of weird urban myth but I think I'm wrong and parkgil1 is right.

    I've been telling myself that my support of the local wine industry is vital but I'm probably fooling myself. (*Amy stamps feet*)
