Default Not dieting for Australia

Is anyone else putting on weight in the final push for Aus?

We've eaten too many take aways, had too many lunches, been invited out to too many drinks and it's starting to show.

FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP FEEDING ME, THEY WON'T LET ME ON THE PLANE!!!

I suppose I could stop eating it, but I'm tired out and stressed so when presented with nice food and wine... well, it would be churlish to refuse.

Well we've not had a really decent meal for weeks. Don't want to have to paint the kitchen and regrout all the tiles again. So have been eating lots of microwave stuff and take aways.

I think booze is the only thing that gets you through all the stress associated with getting the visa, not to mention all the celebrating you do when something happens.

And if someone wants to buy you a meal or a beer, then you really can't refuse as it would be very rude

DIETING??!!! :scared: Dont bloody swear at me young lady!!

There is no way in the world I could diet under this stress. Alcohol is the only thing that gets me through the evening without having a huge adrenalin rush every 5 minutes!

We've been having loads of take aways too. Shippers have been today so we've got an excuse for the next 3 nights anyway - no kitchen ware (kept the glasses back though )

Cheers

Yep me too !! Just the thought of wearing a bikini & showing off my white flabby body in 3 weeks time sends me straight to the fridge for a bottle of pingo gringo ! Also have about 5 meals, & endless pub sessions to get through !!

Hubby will have to roll me on the plane i think !

We were definitely doing that before we left for the US - there didn't seem to be much free time for eating let alone cooking so whatever anyone forced down my throat was great, and believe me there was lots of it. Mind you can't say it's got much better now.... hamburgers mmmmmmmmmmm d'oh!
