Oh and i think i remember you mentioning you wanted to make a laptop case, if you find/make a tutorial could you tell me? I just got a laptop and need a case and can't find any I like.<br /><br />Also I completely understand what you're saying about dieting, but it can be very difficult. I'm on a diet at the moment, not a super quick fix one, or a fad one, but I am trying to really decrease what I eat. I've gained a lot of weight in the last 2 years (maybe 2 stone) and I just can't shake it. It happened because I always gain weight at Christmas, and then 2 years ago I went to Florida for 2 weeks. Being vegetarian, poor and in a very touristy part of the US all i could find to eat was pizza, chips and veggie burgers, and then of course because i was on holiday I had lots of sweet treats and things. Anyway i put on a load of weight and haven't been able to lose it.<br /><br />My diet in general could certainly be better, I have a huge sweet tooth and am very unfit, but all in all my diet is pretty good! I make all my main meals from scratch and they're full of veg, I'm a vegetarian and don't have too much dairy (though cheese is a bit of a downfall), i eat lots of fruit, rarely drink alcohol, (well basically I don't drink anything other than water unless i'm going clubbing) I have takeaways or ready meals once a month at the very most, my portion size isn't small but it's not huge either, I usually have lunch and dinner and one snack. I'm not perfect, but there's really not that much I can see that I can do improve my diet other than cut certain things out of my diet, or just don't eat so much! <br /><br />So at the moment I'm trying to just eat one main mean (dinner) and then just have fruit and maybe a tiny snack for the rest of the day. I know not to ban anything entirely, today I had some ice cream for instance. And I'm trying to exercise (I do Just Dance on the wii because it's fun, I'm useless at exercise though!). <br /><br />I know i'll never be a skinny person, I never have been, I'm not built that way, but i really am unhappy with how i look at the moment and really wish i had my old body.<br /><br />Anyway if you have any better suggestions for me I'd love to know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826519045476463458noreply@blogger.com
