An' I do love you, Auriepoo. You're the bomb. Help me kick *kitten* tomorrow! <3

*hugs back atcha!*<3 Thanks for the support, doll. And congratulations on a purge-free year! :) Let's do this - it won't be easy but it'll be worth it :)

The weight loss means I have no la-las left to take all the attention! :( But clothes and accessories that draw out the neckline - got it!

Thank you ladies. Am getting my hair cut on Saturday, so I will look at getting a cut that draws attention away from my cheeks/chin. And although I'm not usually one for wearing much make-up, I think I'd benefit greatly from doing so at the moment. Perhaps some heavier eye make up, and playing with blushers/bronzers until…

Hate to bring this up again as I know it's not a very interesting topic but I really do need the help. I don't want to be eating masses of protein when it could be hindering my progress, and not helping.

Bump?

Today has been lactose free and I'm just as bloated. I feel stressed about it, and my mood is through the floor - all a bit pathetic, I know, but I hate being "thin" (well, verging on skinnyfat) with a bloated belly. I feel so insecure. I don't have any pains, no excessive gas - just a big fat belly.

Thanks Jade, and good luck with them! Would still like to know whether it's actually bloating or just a pot belly. I'm 5'5 and 113lbs, and it just looks so out of place.

Sorry, bumping this again as it's been playing on my mind all night. Need honest opinions...bloating or just big tummy? I've not touched a morsel so far this morning.

Is just a couple of days without dairy sufficient time to see a difference? I'm clueless! Ach, what do I have for breakfast?! My other meals, no problem, but breakfast?! No oatmeal with milk, no omelette? Sacre bleu! Thanks for your help :)

I would love a 4 day stint without any lactose in my diet but REALLY wouldn't know where to start. Would I re-introduce wheat, or gassy veg, or just live off meat and water? Haha. No Picola, no protein powders for me. I'm poor! I know I should let my GP do her thang with this (I've got blood tests for celiac disease and…

Thanks for the responses! Sodium for the last three days has been between 1300 - 1600mg, although many days I'm under 1000mg. My sugars are pretty shameful (although that's normal because of fruit) - so that might be an issue? Candida! I did read something about that but clearly didn't pay as much attention as I should…

Any takers? :(
