Somewhat confused. (Bear of very little brain)

You think I kid? I have to ask my mother how to turn the oven on each time I use it. My idea of a recipe book is a take away menu. I DREAD learning to cook

BeGorgeous- I just noticed your profile says you hate people who make promises they don't keep. What are marriage vows but the biggest promise you'll ever make? Can I suggest counselling for you and your husband? Together and individually. I don't say this to be insulting, but as you have children together, you really…

Buy packet of cookies. Open packet. Arrange on plate :laugh:

No progress this week. Oh hell. Only have myself to blame. Back on the wagon now, just got to be very good this week and next and should hit my target- no reason why not. Best of luck everyone!

Dear Dissertation; Seriously, you won't write yourself? Meanie. From Deeply Confused English Student Writing About History In Literature Dear Dissertation Markers; I'm sure you agree I deserve a First just for being able to pronounce my title without flaws, even when saying it really fast (Fictionalisations of Illicit…

Ditto. Who needs soap operas? :tongue: Seriously though guys, please chill out.

On toast. If you have hayfever, eating some early season local honey can help

Mirrors are EVIL. But then, there's no room for excuses with scales. Arg!

I'm also a student and set my lifestyle as sedentary. I'd then add the gym glass in your exercise diary; ditto the football (sorry, British, it's footie to me).

I'm just about to turn 21 and in my third and final year of an English Literature BA hons. Looking forward to leaving- not looking foward to deadlines :laugh:

Food has been a total bust the last few days- I've been eating my nerves. Back on the wagon, may have gained a little but doubt it's more than half a pound, if that, once the sodium filters away. And I'll be packing like a mad thing for the next few days, so a nice calorie burner there. Passed my driving test :happy: Have…

Pedal- okay, okay, I'll post! Sorry ladies, I have been reading, just kinda hectic and nervy about my driving test (tomorrow!!!!! Eek!)- so much so, I've lost my appetite. My housemate (also on MFP) has been nagging me to eat. It's been some time since that sort of thing happened! (Don't worry- I have a potato in the oven…

Nope, you're good. The only danger is that if you eat all your food and then don't do the exercise. But you sound like that's not an issue for you

Dear Self; For the love of god, go to BED. It's already 11 and you need to be at work at 6. And you know you won't have time for a nap afterwards, because you have a driving lesson. Your test is on FRIDAY. You want to fail? Or get fired? No? GO TO SLEEP! The sensible part of you whom you tend to ignore

My birthday is coming up soon, and you think I'm calorie counting? Not a chance! However, that's not saying I'll stuff my face. Small, moderate treats are fine on an infrequent basis. Just don't cheat for the sake of it being your birthday- think, do I REALLY want that cake, or is is just because I'm letting myself? I'm…

I fully agree. The happiest I've been with my body wasn't when I was a size 10 (British), obsessing over calories, wrapped up in anorexia and bulima, but when I was a size 12-14 and healthy

*Jealous* I'm an English Lit student, working part time at a supermarket checkouts. In my final year, so job hunting- not too fussy about what I do, really, so long as I get a job

That's the one! Someone leaked it online and it's NOT the finished version. Meyer doesn't want anyone reading it but doesn't want to finish it now, either. Very frustrating- I want to read it, but until she makes up her mind for sure she's not finishing it, I don't want to read the current version. (Meyer claims it must…

Do you think you can do it? Are you willing to make the necessary changes to diet, attitude and exercise? If so, then of course you can do it. Jeez, I can't believe that other site told you you can't. Maybe THEY can't do it. Maybe they want a quick fix, or don't have the willpower to get where they want to be. Be strong…

Large (well, I knew that already thanks to numerous x-rays) and my goals are right. Thanks for this link

I deliberately saw the movie first. If I read the book, then see the film, it can ruin both for me; not so the other way around. Liked the film (though am I the only person who doesn't see the appeal in Pattison?); LOVED the books. POed that the 5th may not come out (the rumours change so much. I'm never sure what's…

Okay, first, you should know my favourite poem is "Flowers" by Wendy Cope. It's about a guy who always NEARLY buys the speaker flowers- but never quite does, for various reasons. It ends with "look, the flowers you nearly bought/ have lasted all this while". So, I went on a first date with this guy I met at a party. We…

I finish classes in May, have an exam in May/June and graduate in November. My final goal is for my graduation- and thus far, I'm on track. Well, on track weight wise. Work is another matter :laugh:

I try to eat SOME fats, as I have poor joints. But I try to eat "good" fats, not saturates or trans-fats, etc. Natural fats, like in a good olive oil, nuts. But I still try to keep under my fats overall

Oh yes. I used to have a major cross bite as a kid, so chewing was kinda hard. I find that distracting myself as I eat works to slow myself- but not so distracted I forget to pay attention to my food. A magazine is good, or chatting. Try cutting food smaller or bigger than normal (most people say smaller but bigger forces…

Still have to wait unitl March 29th over here

That meal sounds utterly wonderful. I think you should send some my way :P

It depends. A lot of high end restaurants will serve a miniscule portion and charge a bomb for it. :laugh: Most will overfeed you though, to an extreme. :grumble: Why does my dad only ever take me to eat when I'm on a diet? He's lost loads of weight lately, but by walking about 15 miles a day on about 500 calories but…
