ten kilos to go

the scales showed 65kg this morning. it's not great but it's only half a kilo gain since last week and considering the amount of shit i've been eating it could have been much worse. i'm convincing myself that it's not that bad. it's only ten kilos to go and, when i get down to 60 kilos, i shouldn't look too fat. so that will be my next goal. get down to 60 kilos. 5 kilos to lose. how hard can it be?

i'm trying to get a new pair of jeans. the pair i've got at the moment is fcuk size 12 and it fits me ok but it's not dead comfy. i want a pair that's soft and doesn't squeeze me anywhere. but it's not easy for me to find. all the bloody jeans have leather tabs on them. levi's used to be my favourite jeans, they were comfy and they fit me well but they've started to put leather tabs on them. it really pisses me off because it's so unnecessary and it doesn't serve any purpose. plus, it looks ugly too. so i'm annoyed. maybe i'll wait until i lose a bit more weight and see if the fcuk jeans get any more comfy but i'll need to do that before it gets cold again.

anyway, enough whinging. anon, could i please have the recipe for the granola? i'm willing to try! ;) thanks for all the suggestions, i have porridge sometimes but am very impatient and always burn my tongue so that's what puts me off a bit! (i know)

I'm afraid it's an American recipe, so the measurements are all in cups.

3 cups rolled oats
1.5 cups wheat germ
0.5 cups milk powder
1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1 cup dessicated coconut
0.5 cups sesame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds

Heat oven to 150 centegrade and toast oats for about 15 mins in a 13 x9 inch pan or baking sheet.
Mix the wheat germ, milk powder, nuts, coconut, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
On the stove heat 0.5 cups vegetable oil, 0.5 cups honey or maple syrup. when hot add contents of bowl, mix thoroughly. Add toasted oats, then spread thinly on baking sheet (I used two) and return to oven for 15-30 mins, stiring regularly til all toasted.
I know it looks a bit of a faff, but it's not that bad, and it makes loads.
Oh, a hint for porridge: if you like yoghurt stir in several tablespoons after you've made porridge. I usually use plain yoghurt, but you could use fruity (as long as it hasn't got lots of added sugar...) - cools it down and adds yoghurty goodness!
