so yesterday was my first day on WW and i did go over my points :/ oops i was doing fine up until late at night when i went shopping for some healthy food for the upcoming weeks (and spent a small fortune :( ! ) when i got back a friend was over so we ended up sharing a bottle of wine and eating houmous (low fat) on bread! oopsadaisy!
Oh well today is a new day i have planned out my meals for the day roughly and i know what my day includes mainly cleaning and working out but hey still fun i have decided to try and walk everyday too seeing as the weather is super nice at the moment.
Something that has been on my mind recently is boys well men to be precise (although with the way they act you wouldn't guess) i love being in relationships and always feel like i am actively looking for one, i have been in and out of relationships almost constantly since i was 16 and i'm kind of bored of feeling like i have to be in one so i have decided that this summer i am going to stop thinking about boys and concentrate on my goals so when i go back to uni in october i look and feel amazing!!
The only hard part is my ex geoff has been in Sweden since January and he's coming back next month which means me and his 3 best friends are going to take a trip to where he lives to suprise him (we did this just before he left) its probably going to happen in august because he turns 21. I just don't know if i want him to see me like this :( i have put on quite a bit of weight since he left and i had always imagined that when he came back i would be so much more toned and slim and desirable! bleh!
anyways i wanted to know what your guys thoughts were on dating and dieting all at the same time. good? bad? indifferent?

Well, life is going to happen weather you are on a diet or not. You will feel much better eating healthy and exercising. It all spills over into your personal life. The better you feel about yourself, the more quality you can add to your life.

I know it's hard to see old friends - especially old boyfriends - when you feel you're not at your best. But the important thing is you're working on it and people who care about you will understand and be supportive. Try to find something else to cure your boredom than jumping into a relationship! Do things you love and if you happen to meet someone, great. If not, that's okay, too. Great idea to do some walking - that's great exercise you can do any time. Maybe there's a walking club in your area!

Suzi is right. Life happens no matter what. You just have to be steadfast in your quest to shed the pounds. People that love and care about you should be understanding about it. It's not impossible to eat healthy when in a relationship or even hanging out with friends, but it certainly is more difficult when they are more likely to go for high-calorie snacks and drinks, and you're stuck with veggies and water. Work on your will power, because that is ultimately what will get the weight off.

I totally agree with all the above posts. It's hard to be in a relationship and diet! Men can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound!!! When I went on holiday with Jamie, we ate pizza every single night. It's his favourite food and I crave it too. But I found that if we order a large pizza, I will have 1-2 slices, press off the grease with a napkin, and take off the super bad toppings. He will eat the rest of the pizza, grease and everything! I guess it's all in moderation. Will power is a hard thing to build! Especially with everyone else around you eating what they want, like Starla said. So here is the bottom line: I think you are great, and I think as long as you keep focusing on improving your health, and getting to the goals you set-- some guy will come along and say "Hey, look at that amazing girl. I need to get closer to her". In the mean time, I suggest watching a lot of Sex and the City and having a lot of girls nights out!!!! :)

Also, as some big-sisterly advice: don't pay much attention to Geoff. Set your mind to act like "hey, you're back and that's cool, but I am so busy with my new life and all the cool things I am doing, I hardly noticed." You are going places! And the men will eventually follow. :)

Laura, thank you for the advice its what i keep telling myself i don't know why im getting so worked up about him we didn't date for that long anyways and its not like he's brad pitt more seth rogan (although i have to admit men with facial hair mmmmm) I'm definitly on building my will power and making myself look good for me and not someone else. although its pretty hard when your best friend and housemate is madly in love and likes to parade it around day and night at least i have another on of my best friends with me here and shes in a much similar boat to me we are enjoying being bitter and watching movies :P
