    but you don't have much to loose dendy

    Did anyone see that programme on crash diets last night?

    this presenter decided to got to florida and do a crash diet to prove to people how bad they were, and to try and get it accross to young people that curves were good etc etc

    BUT.......SCREAM her starting weight was 7 stone 10 pounds - OK she may have been quite curvy at that, but they did not mention her hight. I mean what message does that give to people - its OK to be curvy as long as its curvy below 8 stones, I think she probably did more harm than good!

    I heard about it - she's trying to get to a size 0, isn't she? With 1 month's (reluctant) doctor's supervision.....

    I doubt very much whether it will help anyone at all, as telling people they're hurting themselves by smoking, drinking, eating too much, eating too little, taking drugs, anything - they jsut ignore it!

    I saw something about this briefly. I think that's an American size 0 which is a British 4 or 6?

    Americans like to think they are smaller than they really are ... I was a size 5-7 there .... :D :D :D , only a wee bit smaller than I am now!

    Not sure I like that phrase, Honey Bee ...

    Wouldn't it be fun to find out what it's called in different languages .. we'll ask Kedi-Gato tomorrow from there and Mona-Lisa from France and I'll ask my friend in Italy ....

    ....were you expecting someting nice from my little devil-spawn!!!????

    ... lets just say I don't wear them (especially now!!!!) (nasty, scratchy things) As the ONE time I did think about going all sexy, the spawn tore into the bedroom whilst I was in my undies, littlest's eyes went out on stalks Tom and Jerry style, then tore out the bedroom screaming at the top of his voice "MUMMYS GOT WEDGIE PANTS ON!!!!" and then proceeded to tell EVERYONE (including the Dads at the school gate)for at least a year after the most amusing story about Mummy and her WEDGIE PANTS......... bless....
