1) INORITE?! Honestly, I was astonished. I lost about 45 pounds over 4 years. My mum was all about the huge portions, the fried food, the chips (fries) with every meal. Then I travelled for a year and ate out three times a day and drank way too much. I got big! Moving in with Claire was very educational. I never even dieted, I just stopped eating when I wasn't hungry, and stopped eating junk I didn't even particularly want. It was amazing! The last 25 pounds were a year of manual labour. I really thought I'd have gained a lot of it back given that I went from 40 hours a week of labour to an hour or two a day of ambling along with Dex, but nope. I could do with toning up... but I do get girly glee from scales now, which I never imagined would be the case.
That got long. I'm a little excited.
2) I heart veggies! I need to do some groceries. Normally it's when I run out of milk or bread that I get some food in. Now it's because I've run out of red peppers and orange juice HOW WILL I COPE. :)
3) I hadn't either. Cake! In a mug!
4) ♥ That would be one fun job! There's a lot of money in wedding cakes, no? Maybe I'll offer one up as a wedding gift some day and see how it goes. I'm certainly going to make my own, should I ever get married - they're so frickin expensive and I'd get weirdly obsessed with making it fabulous.
5) I am convinced that even a pineapple hater would find something yummy about that dessert.
