man, I've been doing some long walks. But Geez, now I am getting really sore shins & foot arches. I have comfortable, but cheap shoes, maybe it's because I'm on the heavy side? :( :oops: But I'm gonna keep at it & hope it gets better soon. Right now I am trying to avoid eating any chocolate ...

You should update your avatar ghost, because I can see from your award photos how much slimmer your face is

no budget sucks! I hear ya lilychemgirl Don't you hate how everything comes down to money ~Sigh~

thanks Karen, that was so sweet of you :) You know, it got me thinking, even before I had stretch marks, there was always something I felt disatisfied about my body, eg, wanting to be taller, have bigger boobs, no freckles, ... So even if they go away, maybe I would just look at the next "weake...

Soooo, what about if you do the opposite, ie...

hey everyone, this is probably a lame question, but have been thinking so much I have got good & thoroughly confused. Is a "healthy diet" the same healthy diet for everyone? (does that make sense?), or do people have differernet needs depending on their own body? thanks

that makes sense, that potatoes are different for different people. I consider them to be a superfood, because I know they have lots of vitemins & are unprocessed. I'm sure it can't be as simple as saying things like potatoes are bad. I did used to get a lot of jawline acne, nothing (& I tri...

Actually, yeah, I do like walking, just somehow my normal habits seem to be forgotten now I'm a mum, will have to get back into it. There is a lovely walk along the Yarra, I'm gonna start doing it again for sure! Hey, maybe I can even walk to ALDI & have the pusher to take my hoard back :D And n...
