One day,SD, one day!

Kettle's always on @gillymary here in the i' m fat tent..and i' ll still hop over or even limbo over to the scenic route tent for a catchup! X

As the others who have met CandiceMarie have said, she is one very beautiful lady with lovely hair, sparkling eyes and a smile to die for and she is every bit as bubbly and funny in real life as she is on here. I shall say no more as I'd hate her to get a big head and I know she doesn't want any part of her anatomy to get larger

Ballerina x

Would be great to have a bigger head and smaller hips and butt,well smaller anywhere would be good! X

Blimey, this tent sprang up with a vengeance over night! I do feel like that some days, and for me there is a lot of distorted perceptions over how I look, hence the camera avoidance too!
Azure, that really is a magical photo of you with your grandson btw!
I shall watch this tent with interest!

I don't know if this in my tent or not. I will certainly drop in, bringing buns - whoops! - My old scales had me at a healthy BMI, but my new scales do not. I am still officially fat. That's according to the CSIRO - Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. It's not related to whether I am a lovely person or not, whether I look good or whether I am looking at the situation in a negative way. It's a scientific fact. I am feeling a lot better than when I was obese before I started 5:2, but I am still fat. Thank you @CandiceMarie for pitching this tent and bringing together people with this in common. Of course we care about our weight! If i wasn't fat, I probably wouldn't care, but I am.

Welcome @sallyo and glad youre smuggling the buns in! x yummers x!

I'm in Hobart so I'll get some specially delicious ones from Jackman and McRoss.

Noooooooo, didn't want to hear that @sallyo . I am missing my. Hobart treats, please don't tell me you are going to Sweet envy too or i will have to lay on the floor and have a paddy!!

Hey @Debs,I don't know about Sweet Envy. Where is it?

Elizabeth Street, north hobart, be prepared to be seduced by incredible cakes, pies, ice cream! They have a website.

@Azureblue that is a truly beautiful photo. Thankyou for sharing.

I've already mentioned in a couple of threads that I've just had my passport photos taken. They seem to be of a fat, grey haired old person with double chins. Quite disconcerting. But true. I can't do anything about the age and I don't intend to return to dying my hair but I'll continue to work on the fat. I don't weigh myself but I reckon losing 20 kg is needed. I love 5:2 and it's certainly cut down the amount of time I obsess about losing weight but still I wonder what it must be like in the mind/body of an always skinny/normal weight person. Must be nice to have all that extra time and freedom but maybe I'd just obsess about something else. Dunno. Ah well, time to put the kettle on. I'll be in this tent for quite a while.

Wow @Chook I did like your post, well said.

I could use losing 10-15 kg myself, but it's just going to take a little longer than I first thought!

I saw myself in a group photo taken a few weeks ago, and I got a shock. I don't 'feel' fat, but I certainly look fat it in the photo - thick arms and shoulders and definitely a very large roll around the middle, but you know what I mean.

Because I don't 'feel' fat or 'feel' my age (62 tomorrow) I forget that I am actually the age I am, my hair is now becoming very grey, and yes I am fat!

It should really bother me but it doesn't except I know for my health's sake I need to lose the weight.

My fitness has increased as I am walking daily now as well as doing a bit on the Wii fit and bike, and my OH has just given me a Fitbit Flex for my Birthday all great incentives to get out there and move the body.

cheers

Yes, it's a funny thing isn't it. I don't feel like a fat little old woman, but I do look like one. And reading other people's posts on here I never picture any one as fat little old women- but some of us are!
