I feel like I've been totally conned by him, and thank god for the internet or I'd be still in the dark, believing everything everyone says.


Cheers

understood mandy not an easyone I'd go mad to if it wasn't for the net.The reality isn't the same as the dream. Shipping companies are rubbish we had a heap of trouble with ours

they're photos from 2003
I put on about 2 stone in 3 years .Trying like buggery to shift it, but its not going anywhere, to be honest I think its the stress I feel at being so far away from my family
When I lived near them I was as fit as a butchers dog. My old bod is still in here somewhere, its just covered up with doughnuts I'll get the weight off as some stage , but prolly not until my life calms down a bit.

Sarah, they're great piccies! (Don't know why I've not discovered them before ... ) But I'm now going to have to change my whole mental image of you (it is a compliment, honest! If it's any consolation, Gruff thinks I'm a gay bloke living in New Zealand.)

Dear Sarah

Same here I reckon I've put on about the same since leaving UK.But then its a vicious circle, I have lost the will to shop here also, because its more of I need the top etc. than I really want it. So you don't feel like you have the incentive to lose the weightto get into that special top. But, I recently decided to go backto uk and straight away I've joined a slimming club and bit by bit its coming off, maybe its because I have incentive now.

Wow thanks guys! You know how to cheer a girl up!
Its nice knowing I'm not alone in finding stress relief in a ice cream

Its weird being this weight, because I've never been quite so lard-tastic as I am now, but the silly thing is, I know I'll be able to get it off once I am a bit more settled and happier over here. The first two years have been ridiculously tough, from being burgled to having no job to having a job I ldon't like.

However, come August 2007 I am going back in Uni (hopefully in California) to do my Masters and I can't wait! no more office cube worker for me yay!

I put on a stone or so when we moved to the US...put it down to comfort eating. Whenever I feel down I reach for the Cadbury's...even if it is made under licence by Hershey.
