How come lunch is the last meal?? Blimey - are you not fucking STARVING come 7pm?Stig said:Don't eat tea.
But for lunch, which is last meal of the day, today it's something random and unidentified out of the freezer.
It's red, so I think it's some kind of tomatoey pasta sauce we cooked recently. I've got quinoa to go with it, just to be safe.

Not horrified, so much as worried about you in YOUR case, cos it's clear you have crap body image, and finding it unimaginable not to eat anything after lunch in stig's case.dolly's gal said:lol at soj being horrified any time she gets wind of people not eating properly!!!
Have you always done that stig?Stig said:Nah, not at all. I have my main meal at lunchtime, plus as much beer as I can drink (well, it has to be sustainable ffs) and I'm hungry by about breakfast time again.
Works fine until I get really depressed and eat a WHOLE FUCKING BLOCK OF CHEESE sitting in the house on my own, like last night.

And - do you not get hungry after beer?

So nerr
I always get hungry after beer - starving in fact.Stig said:I do it when I need to loose weight, it works really well. No food after 3pm was the rule last time, a year and a half ago, and I lost 2.5 stone in 2 months.
Just put another one on though, through giving up smoking, and feel like a wobbly fat hippo, so lunchtime it is.
edit: and no, I don't get hungry after beer, beer is carbs, after all,
unless someone orders a great big pizza and eats it on the table right next to me
But even in that case I don't want it because I am hungry, I want it simply because it is there. I'm never hungry in the evenings, I'm an early bed/early rise type.
Cutting down on booze has certainly lessened the speed with which I throw on extra weight these daysOrang Utan said:Maybe less beer and more food?

Do you exercise to raise your metabolism? I'd rather do that than deny meself food. Plus, like OU, I get really sick and dizzy if I don't eat regularly
Fucking hell stig -Stig said:I drink ale, it's thick and full of goodness.
I cycle half hour then speedwalk 20mins to and from work twice a day, that's new though.
I used to get sick and dizzy and have to eat chocolate, but that was because I used to chainsmoke instead of eating, now I don't smoke, and don't get dizzy
I have to do something, I'm learning to hate my body gradually more and more. It's got to the point where I cry every day on the way to work now.
how's that for a derail Shall I start my own me me me thread? (no.)
sojourner said:Fucking hell stig -
How long have you been exercising? And, you've only just knocked the cigs on the head haven't you? It's normal to put weight on afterwards - and there's plenty of time to lose that weight after you've got the addiction under control. No wonder you're crying - that's a lot to take on all at once. You may have set your standards far too high to be comfortably reachable
Are you going cold turkey on the fags? Horrible, you have my sympathies. I was all over the place emotionally when I did that - the gum or patches are definitely worth the money for the huge edge they take off withdrawing.Stig said:ummm Cigs, 6 weeks. exercise, 2 weeks. Food, since the beginning of this week. PMT, yesterday. Who wants to be my friend?
Annnyway, my lunch turned out to be a chilli, so I covered it in parmesan, and it wasn't bad at all.
