The Big Fat Skinny Bride Diet....stalkers welcome!

Yeah I wanted converse but future mil had such a flap over it she wouldnt let me live it down
Just like she had a flap when I suggested cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. "but you cant have a photo cutting a cupcake" was her whine. "yes but we can have a photo of us feeding one to each other"
Mil is paying for our wedding cake, a fruit cake that no one will touch.....wastage which I hate!

Footsies.....hmmm ideas.....

 

[mumface26]

I even compromised, I said we could have a small wedding cake surrounded by cupcakes but the toys were already out of the pram.
And all dp could say was "my parents are putting lots of money into this wedding so lets just have a proper cake"
I so wasnt impressed. I even told mil we would pay for them ourselves.
Then they had a fit over the fact we wanted a chocolate fountain. "alcohol doesnt mix with chocolate, besides arent they messy?"
Not having a fountain now but thats a long story.

Oh and last week we were visiting some friends of dp's family and was talking about the wedding, I forget what was said but it ended in mil saying "well its their special day inst it, they want it perfect and personal to them so they can have what they want or they may regret it afterwards."
Omg I had never bit my lip so hard ever!

It sounds like they need to remember who's wedding this is?! I hate it when people interfere...even with best intentions.

I'm doing good thanks! Sooo tired, all the time! Hoping It eases off soon!

It had to be fruit as its what people expect and we had to have an evening buffet as its what people expect. Our wedding is at 4pm so the meal will be at 6pm then a buffet for 9:30pm, no one gna be hungry enough to eat it but if people go to weddings expecting an evening buffet then fine.....

I give up. Im just not telling her anymore wedding ideas incase they get torn to shreds.
However it has kind of worked to my advantage, dp wasnt gna have a ring but to keep up appearences he is having one now, and he wasnt gna wear a waistcoat but now he is

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I've never heard of an evening buffet?
So u have a sit down meal AND all you can eat?!

 

[mumface26]

Yes because most wedding are an all day affair. Like my sister got married at 2pm, we had the meal at around 4pm and then the party at the night there was an evening buffet.
So I thought with our wedding been at 4pm, meal at 6pm no one is gna need more food in the evening hence why I had a chocolate fountain in mind.
But dp parents were all for an evening buffet. Its not an all you can eat, we have opted for bacon and sausage sarnies its a pretty popular choice over here.

We went to dp's parents yesterday to use their printer. Mil made us all a cup of coffee then set out chocolate biscuits, mini cupcakes and crisps on the coffee table. Of course dp dives in as if hes never been fed in his life and demolishes some cakes. I resisted but I was very full from lunch.
Id had a tuna mayo sandwich on a brown bap (low fat mayo and just a teeny bit) then I had a low fat rasberry yogurt, an apple and some weight watchers cheesy nacho crisp.
Mil understands im on a diet and I did say I was extremly full, I was proud of myself because the old me would have eaten something regardless how full I felt and wouldnt stop til.i felt sick.

My thighs are killing. I managed 15 mins of 30ds on saturday til my legs gave way and they are still in pain. Dp says I shouldnt work out again until they dont hurt but im sneaking in abb crunches at night

 

[mumface26]

Im gna start posting food and exercise diaries.
Oh and I also looked at my wedding dress invoice as it has my measurements on it.
My bus was 41inch, waist 37inch and hips 44inch.
My next fitting is april so from now til then I need a massive push

 

[Camlet]

Well done you for resisting MILs junk food & on the 30 day shred! I tried it recently and my god I'm so unfit I'm sure I didn't even last 10 mins I haven't dared to try it again since xx

Monday 24th food list...

Brunch - 2 poached eggs on 2 slices of 50/50 bread (no spread)

Snack - Chewee harvest white choc cereal bar

Snack - low fat strawberry yogurt

Dinner - weight watchers chilli and rice. Weight watchers cheesey tortilla chips

Supper - 1 handfull of bran flakes with semi skimmed milk, 1 low fat peach yogurt

Drinks - 2 cups of tea (no sugar) with semi skimmed milk.
8 200ml cups of water (water machine at work has 200ml size cups)

I have brunch as my work starts at 12pm I need a good breakfast as dinner isnt til 4:50pm
Also was bran flakes a good supper choice? Im a cereal addict so could eat it all the time. Suppose theres worse suppers I could eat. And the milk I used didnt even cover the flakes.

That all sounds great! Well done on resisting the temptations!

Have you thought about using the my fitness pal app? You can just enter the foods and it pucks up how many calories, fat, sugar etc you're having. And it can chart for you to see how you're doing I thought I was eating really well until it pointed out my sugar intake was actually too high :S

I did download it but my phone isnt very good so I found it hard to use. Im due an upgrade soon so I hope to get a better phone and get some good apps on it.

I dont feel too good today. I had a dream about my dad last night. A nice one though. One of those dreams where you know you dreamt about them but cant remember quite what they did, kwim?
Anyway the dream ended when he walked away and I went looking for him. I opened this door and just found a pile of his clothes and no dad. Then I turned to this lady and said hes gone.
its made me feel wierd and a bit tearful. I miss him so much and want to see him just one more time. The last time I saw him was the sat before he died and as I had a taxi waiting I flew out the door just saying bye dad. I wish to god I would have given him a kiss and a hug and an I love you instead of a bye dad.

 

[pollydolly]

Don't know what to say hun but thinking of you, xx

 

[mumface26]

the dream has left me feeling wierd today but im determined not to comfort eat
I want to but then I have to ask myself how will I feel better after mcdonalds?
No answer so no comfort eating

 

[pollydolly]

Good thinking hun! I've had a small bowl of porridge, a banana & an apple. My calorie allowance is only 666 so i can't have a lot of food! I top up with looooads of water hah xx
