Hi Lorraine..not sure about these posts...I can never get back to the most up to date ones. Re your photos (this is the post I found for you!)...you should be able to click on 'upload photos' and this should take you to the files where you keep photos (on your computer, phone, whatever...I personally use a lap top and put what I want to upload on my desk top) Then clock on 'upload' chose your photo and click then click on here 'upload' and it should....hope I was some help, probably not, I'm usually not!

Anyway...my weigh in today...not good at all. I have not lost a pound...in fact (I have crappy old scales) but I swear I've put on a pound!!! Maybe a few ounces. I was OK about it this morning...you may see my public post...oh yeah...GREAT attitude as some posted back (which was nice) But as the day has progressed I've become a bit pissed off! I've given up my BLOODY WINE for f''''''s sake for a whole week and cut back on all that cheese and shit that I though was causing the problem in the first place! So....guess what I did (I know your'e with me here gal!) I magnetically veered towards the local (tiny) supermarket at 5pm and picked up a sirloin steak and...you guessed it...two bottles of Shiraz...whey hey!!!! I'm going to bloody well enjoy it tonight (steak with salad of course) and tomorrow is a new day.

Tomorrow is always a new day and I guess we should be thankful for them and count our blessings. Tonight's sermon over.

Ask me tomorrow!!!!

Well enjoy this evenings steak an salad and reset the counter tomorrow! Normally after an early finish at work I call by the local garage for a couple of bottles of a rather nice Cava that they sell at a reasonable price, however, today it didn't cross my mind to stop...which is good as I have been on my own this evening, I have a big confession...which some people find funny and some find unbelievable and a few find absolutely shocking...I detest cooking and never cook at all, NEVER EVER! I have a lovely shiny cooker that has never been used NOT ONCE! At most I will throw some things in the Croc pot once in a while...ask me to cook and pots and pans start flying round the kitchen in a demented rage, my daughter takes great delight telling people that she was fed chicken nuggets and burnt pizza as a child, but she is tall, beautiful and SKINNY so clearly I got something right....never ever cooked a Christmas dinner...wouldn't even know how to! All that steam and heat and mess and clearing up...defiantly not for me, life's much to short and I can think of better things to do,ha ha. Amazing really how I ever ended up 3 stone over weight x

Love your confession...very up front (and very funny), refreshingly real and in some ways I envy your attitude. If you were a man I just might be interested in you as you are so different from myself in some ways but so similar in others. I have met quite a few men (bless them) who have 'taken over' my kitchen and my treasured Japanese Global knives, my professional Procook pots and 6 ring very efficient gas cooker and brought the evening to near carnage as they attempt to impress with a meal that I knew from the start would end in disaster! So suffice to say I no longer let any potentials near my kitchen for fear of serving a custodial sentence. But it seems you and I both have the same issues re food now which is interesting.

I've consumed one bottle of the Shiraz tonight now and opened the other (struggled with one glass only) but you know have not enjoyed it at all. I should have known better than to buy a sirloin from a Co-op supermarket, and perhaps the wine was a bad choice too, but perhaps, just perhaps I'm subconsciously conforming to a new lifestyle change...that would make last week and tonight worthwhile so I do hope this just may be a new beginning! x

The concept of the kitchen is very different in our house, we do have a living room but except for evicting the spiders from time to time it never gets used, therefore the kitchen is like a small bed sit for TV watching, newspaper reading, Googling, wine pouring and snack preparing...I am on husband NO.2 so sharp knives are not recommended, I do have a nice set of copper saucepans but for show only as they have never been used! Only buying one bottle of wine a day and having to share it has helped a lot and I don't crave it quite so much...my husband left me a tin of Gordon's gin and tonic as a treat last night and I did drink it but didn't enjoy it much so could have saved over 200 calories I think, so not doing that again!

I'm beyond husband number 2 and doubt very much there will be a number 3! I love being single and do not miss the arguments, disagreements and nagging when I spend money on something he disapproves of. So I now only have myself to blame when things go pear shaped but I do like being in control...pity that concept doesn't work with food and wine though!

I've been very bad this weekend, quite a bit of wine and last night I cooked a paella and made enough for 6! I've promised the dogs the remainder, better on their waistline than mine. I feel fat and bloated so once again it's a reminder of how awful bad living makes me feel. BUT tomorrow is Monday and I'll try to get back on track again. I purchased from Groupon a great steak deal from Donald Russell butchers and for under 20 quid I'll get sirloin steaks, fillet and rump steaks so with salad they should be nice (check it out if you like meat, his stuff is good). I bought a super market steak last week for a fiver and it was tasteless and tough...waste of money.

Good luck for this coming week...I'm going to try harder and hopefully next weigh in I'll have lost at least one pound!
