Good morning, sweet sweet Girls! :-)

I'm still in Hungary so I don't do the blogging stuff... but you must know that I'm thinking of you constantly! :-)

Food is OK, weight I don't know because I'm not getting onto scales here, nor want to push it - I'm in ZEN, relaxing mood with my body because now we know each other better and she tells me I'm doing great. Here the food is always different, and I'm on the run, but haven't lost my mind, no overeatings, nothing extraordinary unhealthy.

Life: it has its tricks for sure. I've met my first and big "Love of My Life" category dude. He hurt me so bad 13 years ago, he told me by then: "From now on you don't exist to me. Don't talk to me, because you'd only embarass yourself coz I won't talk back." We were classmates you know, and this happened in the 2nd year of secondary school. So I had 2 more years in the same class with the LoML not talking to me. I've fallen into depression of course, haven't eaten ANYTHING during a whole month, haven't talked to anybody, my grades went down, etc. etc.... And now, after 13 years, I meet him in a festival, when I'm here only for a week, the rest of the year I'm 4000 km's away... come on. Impossible. And then, here he came. And asked me to forgive him, because, as he said: "You must forgive me, I've been into hell, I've been thinking about you each day of these past 13 years". And I told him: "That's cool because I've been having nightmares constantly, even abroad, sleeping next to my man, for 13 years also... what a coincidence." ... So, then he embaced me, kissed me (on the cheeks)... and there, I forgave. Anyways, I 've never gotten near angry when it came to him. I've always been in love with him.... and then I knew dispair, hopelessness, all the "nice feelings" of platonic love... and then, I was fat.

So they want to do a class reunion, and they want me to come... I don't know. This, after 13 years, was still very hard for me. VERY VERY HARD. But I hope the nightmares are gone for good...

Kisses, ladies! On the 11th I'm coming back and we can continue dieting together. :-D

Family Reunion photos!!! :-) The cake was not for me, it was for my colleague, we took the opportunity to celebrate his bday, too! I had a bit of the cake, but I left it on the plate, was way too sweet for me... LOL... A lil' triumph!

Morning, Sweet Ladies! 

First of all, a question to hollybelle and geevee (and the others who were here long before me): Have this site ever had a MALE dieter? Just out of curiosity!  OK, normally the users don't say but it's easy to figure out... Though I thought H_O_P was a guy during quite a long time, lol... She has a certain style, no wining, no crying over the 3000-4000 kcals taken the day before, she admits/swallows it easier than the average dieting woman, hehehe...

So, tomorrow I'm taking off. I should do a water day but I don't feel well lately. The heat is so high and the pressure also at work that my skin allergy (and of course it's on the face and the neck) came back, raging. I'm doing 12-16 hours working days again and I wonder if vacations worth this... for one week off, I have to work weeks and weeks overtime in chain, before and after vacations... I wonder about the job interview and the result. They will communicate back to me soon.

I'm still trying to choose a book for the airplane... I tried several things over the years: books, magazines, audiobooks, music, sleeping. The best were the magazines by the way. Maybe I just pick some at the airport while waiting for the check-in. Audiobooks: I had to buy special earphones to be able to hear because the plane was soooo noisy. And even then I don't remember a thing of the story. Books - it depends. If it's a highly scientific book, I cannot concentrate enough... if it's a complicated story, I lose track... I'm hopeless. :-)

Talking about books, I'm into Bookdept. again. My man has banned me already from the site (verbal banning) because I tend to send him a vast list of "Please, order these to meeee". Normally he ignores every second title... or every second e-mail.  Wish I had the courage to have an account and be able to order, but better not. 

Today, I'd like to read this title, it's about farmer's markets: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780307347336/Plenty?b=-3&t=-26#Bibliographicdata-26 (Story: This very human and often humorous adventure about two people eating food grown within a short distance of their home is surprising, delightful, and even shocking. If you've only talked about eating locally but never given yourself definitions--especially strict ones--to follow, I assure you that your farmers' market will never again look the same. Nothing you eat will look the same! This inspiring and enlightening book will give you plenty to chew on.)

Today's menu:

08H30 - horrible unsweetened cappuchino (of course it is NOT unsweetened as it has Glucose syrup.... I read the ingredients WELL, after reading the End Of Overeating - geevee, agreed?)

10H00 - 2 whole cookies (100 kcal)

12H45 - pretty much the same as yesterday, with a soy pudding (700 kcal)

17H00 - some coffee w LF milk and 2 cookies (150 kcal)

20H00 - veggie soup w/ a slice of german black bread, and way too much soy yogurt (the last one to finish before going on vacations...) - 400 kcal

Grand total: 1700 kcal

I've found a photo of me, with the initial weight! With colleagues on the Christmas Party of the company, 2008 December:
