Don't want to derail or anything but would you mind sharing any changes and the like you made to get in the mindset? I'm open to being #influenced by a sincere approach to being healthier.
Or maybe I should just watch Shiv get off her tits in Galway?
I literally lay in bed one night and thought back to last year's holiday where I promised myself I wouldn't be the same size this year... and I was the same size heading into April.
I joined slimming world... now I didn't follow the plan as such, kind of loosely and just used it more for accountability.
I stuck to 3 meals a day, usually weetabix and banana for breakfast then lunch, chicken wrap,soup and a sambo, or bacon omelette with some of that turkey pudding.
Now i have a confession. I hate cooking. No interest ( maybe I am influenced by shiv after all
) so dinner is basic. I'd buy the mash direct mashed potato, mashed turnip, and maybe pork chops or steak. Maybe a shepards pie some day. Slimming world curry. Basic meals.
Two snacks a day, 100 calorie snacks so a purple snack or a 2 finger kitkat.
If I'm hungry between meals fruit or yogart.
Walk every day for at least half an hour to over an hour.
Have one take away a week.
If there's a night out or a meal out I enjoy it. There's 20 other meals in the week to make better choices.
For me though honestly it was mostly mindset. Something clicked in me that night and it was just like a switch went off.
I've been trying ( not very well
) to loose weight for over 2 years and now I've just done it in 10 weeks.
I read something on Instagram that night, now I can't remember the exact words but it stuck with me... Something like this.
Eating well is hard. Exercising is hard. Saying no is hard.
Being overweight is hard. Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin is hard.
Pick your hard.
close to walking in there with my Mayo Jersey on me and pouring that fuckin gin tree all over her septic mingin face. How DARE she after THAT final. 
I know everyone’s idea of fun & a happy life are all different but seriously she must be lonely and unhappy deep down? I feel sorry for her genuinely, the hotel novelty wears off after a night or two after that your itching to get home… imagine being her waking up after the 2day session you had planned for the full week is now over, so you have to find something/someplace else to make you feel fulfilled. I don’t know about any of the rest of you (maybe I’m just boring) but things that make me happy are simple mundane things. Having my favourite dinner, watching my fav Netflix show, spending time with friends, going a walk etc that’s what life is all about. Something doesn’t have to be extravagant to make you happy - I would be just as happy going shopping for the day & having a nice dinner out rather than flying to Paris for the weekend and having a 3 day pissup! I know we all make jokes on here etc but I would not want to be in Shivs head nor have her life for all the money in the world, I hope she is okay genuinely cause it is worrying to watch
