people who love things like alchohol - why not give yourself a limit rather than sack it all together- I have not given up starbucks - but only allowed 2x week though so its a special treat!
its not eastern mysticism - its a jokey way of saying dont try and run a classy beast on crap fuel - you wouldnt put lard in a ferrari -well not if you wanted to race it round the block
just read your post on the other page Bune Of course youre right ive been the same weight for about 10 years, and am much stronger and fitter than I used to be I have only ever "dieted" seriously twice, when a teenager, and i wasnt very well then I love food, and cooking it, and Im resonably healthy, despite alcohol intake (thank god for on call) But it wouldnt hurt me to give up crisps, bout time i demonstrated wiilpower abou t SOMETHING Seriuosly though, we musnt use this as an excuse to beat ourselves up, im too good at that
when I was pretty low a couple of years ago Icould have done with a 'buddy' who would ring me up and say hey - you up yet? been for a walk- got going yet
Lets see No breakfast So desperate by 11 am Crisps Lunch, standing up on the ward, no point leaving or they will only bleep me, and i might get 2 minutes if they see me eating
get home, ravenous pick crap for Wales Cook magnificent feast, fuelled by gin, and eat said feast at 8 or 9 pm Yep, obvious where im going wrong
I think a lot of it is to do with the totally unrealistic images of women - should be slim/beautiful perfect/successful goddesses
and I think that creeps into all our psyches - I read Health & Fitness - but its full of skinny models who might do abit of exercise not real women who exercise - and then i feel miserable because I'm over fat and not trail running/water skiing /skydiving like manic Tampax Woman
so I get things out of proportion - people say to me -youre quite fit - but I dont run and you all do so I feel bad when i should feel pleased that I AM quite fit - do not covet thy neighbours ass!
benz you have a demanding job working long hours that wreaks havoc with a healthy lifestyle- but you exercise regularly so give yourself a big brownie point for that!
Good evening everyone. Hairy fat git signs in for rare late night session.
Bune, couldn't agree more about the bad images of women thing - did a similar rant myself a few weeks back, although no doubt buried in snowstorm of subsequent rants. Can blokes do this moonwalk thing? Sounds better than FLM - don't like crowds.
EP, well done! I know you must feel great.
Benz - what's wrong with pretzles? The ones I eat are less than 5% fat and a good source of carbs.
If I'm going to cut back on something it will have to be cheese. Couldn't do wine (only about 20 units a week anyway) and don't eat crisps or chocolate.
Glenn Pretzels are CRISPS and therefore are banned as from tomorrow Moonwalk details Bune please ( Shes probably gone to eat her tea) Im having pizza from ASDA, its got so many tomatoes on it looks healty, wheres the cheese?
its a marathon power walk through the night in london in May 2003 for Breast Cancer- Breakthrough I think -sponsored by plaxtex who provide a bra for you to decorate and walk in

if 'my body is a temple' (don't let v-rap hear you spouting eastern mysticism) then I think mine has been vandalised by hells angels.
om mani padme hum!
If not an call ,must drink
No point in only one
My body is a cesspit, and looks like one too
my own fault, of course
Pixie, if youd stuck to wine instead of that funny muck, we might not be in this mess
Is it a month, or till brighton
Of course youre right
