Hi all,
I'm sorry I haven't been here in a while - everything has got so busy with a combination of the new job (:)) and an outbreak of regular migraines ([V]), but I do lurk and check new messages often, so I haven't totally abandoned everyone :D
This weekend, my boyfriend (who lives in Sussex, while I live in Lincolnshire - long story!) was visiting, and it seems we're kind of in that stage in our relationship where seeing each other any less than once a day isn't enough. That's great! Except I'm still slap-bang in the middle of this whole panic/anxiety thing, and so far I haven't even been able to pluck up the courage to go visit (or meet his parents [:I])
On the plus side, I've taken a couple of steps in the right direction today (I think), by driving a little further than I've been in the last...well, year probably [:I] [Sigh...], and resolutely deciding to a) go a little further next time, and further still the time after that, b) start myself on a healthier regime and c) follow Nic and Meg's guidelines until my little acorn grows into a mighty oak tree :)
One small drawback - which is actually a rather pathetic thing to worry about in the face of the mountain I have to climb lol! - is that I find healthy foods tasteless, which really puts me off eating them! [Oops!]
Now, I don't sit eating burgers and chips day-in, day-out, and my parents never had a problem getting me to eat my vegetables. It's just salad that turns me off - lettuce, cucumber, celery: yuck! I can only eat it if it's coated in salad cream or other dressings, which rather defeats the object of the healthy option. On the up side, I like pasta, rice, cous cous, potatoes etc. I just don't know how to make them interesting (without too much effort), so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for how to eat healthily while avoiding lettuce and its friends..? :D
~* Do what you want. Nobody else will do it for you *~
