Other people's diets are as interesting as other people's dreams and tax reports

Now that I'm a size 16 again I guess I should try to get back into some kind of shape by making the most of the Welsh mountains — where I'm staying for the time being — or by going on a diet or something. Except nobody's allowed to "go on a diet" anymore because we all know that diets never work. Instead we have to call them "healthy eating plans" so we can get on with skipping meals and eating fried chicken as soon as we get drunk, as usual.

  1. You could always try the tablets called FatBuster, FatBurner, FatAnnihilator, etc... Pop one or two in before dinner ala fried chicken and voila! Just make sure to do what they write on the package in small print, something to the effect of "Individual results vary. For best results cut out your fat intake, exercise like a maniac and drink tons of water".

  2. As Eddie complained to Saphie said in Ab Fab - If eating healthily and exercising was the way to lose weight then everyone would be doing it! - Brilliant.

    Size 16 is something to be proud of. Love your body and get to heck all those who call you a podgy boomer or a lardass.

    i am doing a "detox" for the second time now (i did it allmost two years ago after having my baby). it really works and changes the way you think about food. quite fun in many ways and bloody yummy too. and yes it is good old Carol Vorderman! i often use ideas and recipes from a book called "grænn kostur hagkaupa" and you can get in Hagkaup, Iceland......

    highly recommended shit

  6. Hi Annie, why have you forsaken us for your homeland, don't you know if you climb Bray Head on a clear day you can see Snowdonia!

    And this dieting malarky doesn't sound like you... hope all's well with you, and your relocation to Ireland.

  7. Thank you Conan. I'm fine, just in Wales for a while, not sure how long yet. Bjarni is coming over at the weekend for some fresh air, and if we climb Snowdon then we can see the Wicklow mountains, so we're not really missing out!

  9. I'm standing on the top of the Wicklow mountains and waving at you like a mad bitch! Can you see me?!?!

    (Don't diet. There's more of you to love the way you are.)

  10. Don't worry, am not dieting. Have just had a slice of jam cake (that's a cake made almost entirely out of jam) and a walk in the forest.

    Boris, yes there are whales around Wales but they are rarely spotted.
