BioSelf-indulgent ramblings of a girl trying to be slim :)
Yes I do have a life outside my diet but it feels my diet is taking over. "You're diet shouldn't take over your life!" vs. "It is not a diet its a lifestyle change" A lifestyle change would be taking over one's life, right?
However, don't mistake this statement I'm not pro-ana or mia, I'm following the Weight Watchers Points plan and at the moment this feels the hardest thing I have ever done. I am also struggling with a sugar addiction (it sounds hilarious to me too except I'm actually suffering with it) and so am currently trying to curb the habit of sugary junk food & fruit. I am surrounded by some (big) friends who are either slightly jealous by my weight loss so far who try to sabotage me and friends who just don't care. Especially male friends who once suggested I ate too much at dinners (!how rude!) & always tried to make me come "hiking" with them now get annoyed by my choice of salads at restaurants.
I miss binge drinking. I have never felt guilty about a night out enjoying myself where my friends and I might have easily consumed 20 units or more each. This is the UK people, we like alcohol, we like it lots. Spare me the lecture, if you are that uptight it sounds like you need a drink more than me. (If you are a 'live and let live' teetotaller/alcohol conscious person then I'm sure we can easily be friends).
I'm also vegetarian (the live & let live variety, no lectures here) always looking for new low calorie, low fat veggie recipes :) yum yum!
Anyway I am hoping to
1. Air all my grumbles which would be incredibly boring to force anyone to listen to
2. Meet some friends online who are going through the same thing
