minor things that make you fume

[Ashtonian]

You do realise mate that you can diet without just eating salad ? Short term the weight will fall off . Long term it won't last . I lost 5 stone not 6 months and in the 12 months after that I've put back on 2 1/2 stone then lost a bit then put done back on . At the minute my issue Is boredom . My back is In A bad way and has been for over a month . No gym bar one day in 2 weeks meaning I'm just sitting in eating crap . Probably out of depression . But trust me long term what you are doing won't work.

I don't need a long term solution though mate, i need in retrospect a short term solution.

right now i am dropping weight sure, and the more the better. but once i get to around what i want to get to, considering it isn't ideal weight amounts but just healtheir amounts, then i can manage it easier. I'm talking at least medium to large closes from XL andXXL and 10 inches off my pants sorts of level. I can eat more of what i want, can eat bread again, eat potato, eat things that aren't as healthy and still not suddenly get fat. It will be a change of philosophy where i am very concious of what to eat and what i can't/won't want to.

My weight gain was over 8 years, not over a short space of time. Even more so i would say the extra was put on within 2 years through very poor eating habits and very little exercise.

So if come december- february i hit my ideal weight range then that will be it, no more dieting, just a better viewpoint of what i eat and how active i am for the rest of my life.

the salad right now every day if nothing else is an experiment this week i'm doing If 2 weeks ago i could lose half a pound and have a baqd week, and do better but not fantastic last week and hit the 4 pound target, then this week i am purposely eating home made salads over subway ones and eating small teas. I'm also not exercising either to avoid muscle gain at the same time, apart from insanity on friday which i want to make a routine not an option.

then come monday i can see what eating healthy alone will get me. if it is less than 4 pounds, then i know i have to exercise. If it is more then i know i can put exercising to one side for the time being as long as i can eat right.

but a good sign this morning is that my scales say i have dropped under 16 stone. bit of an important thing because my scales were about 6 pounds off the dietician ones so could have dropped even more this week so far. if in 2 weeks i can claim 3 stone in two month, be made up with that.

but you'll gradually go back to eating carbs and stuff .maybe eat healthier and Maybe in smaller portions but it'll still slowly put weight on .

I don't think you truely grasp the extremes here. Picture someone who just gets fat, that was me. I never went anywhere if i could help it, would happily sit in on a weekend even. Hell honesty time, those pound bags of chocolate from the supermarket? could eat one of them in a night. Wasn't a huge sweet eater but could do that eithout a seconds thought. My plate would be full of food, even on my dinner i might get a meal deal and pop into greggs for a sausage roll as a snack.

I think your view of the 'you will gain weight' is something i have encountered through my thread on here. Everyone seems to have a extreme view of it all, from you have to eat this at lunch to avoiding all of this etc. I mean right now after 7 weeks i practically cut out sugar, bread, carbs unless potato on my tea, pasta etc Yes it is a bit crap at times i will agree. But the fact that i know how fat i was, i know how i felt, and will probably always feel to be honest (anorexic viewpoint of being fat all the time, probably will feel similar) so i know when my pants get tight or tops tight or whatever, i am then having to lose it again before i end up as bad as i was.

Because that is the key here, the last time i was 'fat' i actually wasn't. now i know what it has been like to be fat, and buy those much bigger clothes and feel ashamed of it. Or feel subconious about myself, i wear a hoodie jacket in work simply for that reason, self conious of my weight. the reason i am sticking with this after nearly 2 months so far is because i know if i can get the weight off, i will feel so much better which will be a massive motivation in the future to make sure i don't gain it again

all I'm saying is think long term not short term . I know because I made that. Mistake last year and I'm now suffering the consequences of it .


But you do what's best for you

I'm not planning to be in shape in regards to abs or muscles or anything like that. don't even need to be able to run a marathon lol

Just want to feel better in myself, i enjoy food too much. Just want to put myself back to where i was pre having kids.

Women in the office talking bollocks. I try and switch off, but the constant whining/bitching can get you down at times.

Oh god this, and the insta-whinge the minute another lad comes over and conversation briefly turns to football.

Also I didn't realize how thirsty and slaggy most women are when discussing "office talent", 100 times worse than men, I don't know how any of these are still in any kind of relationship.

People seemingly unable to use cycle lanes properly.

Was riding to work today, as I always do, and was about 2 bike lengths behind the guy ahead of me. Saw a traffic lights come up ahead of us (only for people wanting to turn left) so slowed down a bit, but he kept going same speed up until about 2 metres before the turn to the light, then suddenly, without giving any hand signals or warning, just pulled his bike right across the lane and stopped at the light. Needless to say I nearly smashed right into him, lucky I was alert to what might happen and slammed on the brakes and just hit his back wheel, but managed to stay on my bike and just skidded. Absolute tosser, could have been extremely dangerous not just to me, but to any potential cyclists behind me.

Getting fed up of cycling here now because it's something new every single day. If it's not idiots like the guy today it's cyclists going wrong way down the street and refusing to move for you. If it's not them it's pedestrians unaware that it's a cycle lane. If it's not them it's people in cars opening their doors into the cycle lane without looking first. If it's not them it's cars pulling into streets without looking and nearly flattening you. If it's not them it's couples riding next to each other hogging the whole lane and riding dead slow and ignoring you when you ring your bell. If it's not them it's tourists with suitcases in the cycle lane seemingly deaf to your ringing of the bell from 15 metres away.

Honestly, it's pathetic.

Nissan Micras again.

They are either driven by a woman with a blue rinse or a fella with a flat cap.

The common factor being their nose is pressed against the windscreen, they don't use their mirrors or indicate, brake on corners, brake late at traffic lights and go everywhere at twenty five miles an hour - inc supermarket car parks.

Simple answer recall every Nissan Micra and crush them all.

Store loyalty cards.

You're wallet ends up with a plethora of plastic, that you will probably never utilize again.

You spend £300 on a piece of new kit, and after 2 day's it's knackered.

You take it back to the store, and the same salesperson who flogged it to you.

They make that sucking in air sound, look at it as if it some ancient artifact and say 'where did you buy this?'
