hi, loves! so i figured i should say hello...
i am not new to VLCDs; i lost 46lb (i think?) back in 2008 on Lipotrim and felt amazing but my doc ended up yanking me off the diet prematurely and... well... insert excuse here.
several unsuccessful attempts over the years have all failed but i think this is the time. you know you get that feeling and you just know that you're doing the right thing and you're not going to be stopped, no matter what? that's what i have right now, and not going to lie, it feels pretty rad.
so i went for exante this time because i tried it before and found it mostly palatable and my wallet and i both prefer the cost. i do worry a little as the weekly pharmacy visits on LT kept me accountable each week but that's why i registered here... well, actually that's why i logged into minimins and -- ALSKDGJ1342ALJ!!
but then i registered here and have decided that this place is going to be my new home. sorry not sorry 
so about me, i guess? ugh. so, i'm very nearly 31 and in massive denial so we don't discuss it. mostly because i'm clearly still a child and haven't yet figured out how to adult. i live in plymouth and... i'm very, very dull. and i have a cat. because of course i do.
i have also started vlogging about this whole thing... i recorded a couple of vids last night but my laptop webcam is dire so may try redoing them with my phone since apparently the camera on that is pretty great. i'm not sure why i thought it would be a good idea to keep a video diary, maybe because sometimes i get too many things going on in my head...
...and i need an outlet? maybe because in real life i've only told my grandmother that i'm doing this (she's basically my mum) because it's no one else's damned business and they can all keep their beaks out. is it obvious i've been burned before by rumours and gossip lol
so yeah, i'm not sure why but it's kind of fun, it's something i've never done before, recording myself that is, and it'll probably be a trainwreck but who knows, if i get confident enough maybe i'll share them after a little while for something to giggle over with you fine people!
as far as goals are concerned, i have a few and they look like this:
OHYEAH! i also make really stupid things in photoshop, eg
so if you want anything like that to make your sig or diary pretty or whatever, i'd be happy to do it for you (although i don't really do the blinkie animations anymore, i'm not sure if i remember how haha but i can do non-blinkie ones and text banners (like the top 4) really easily), it's a nice distraction from cookie-hunting.
if you want one of those six up there (excepting the ragland one because it's just an example and makes no sense on this site lol), feel free to grab them.
wow, what is this, war and peace?
