    Afternoon

    I found a Freddo in the shop this morning (I didn't actually find it! I located it on the shelf and bought it.) I saved it until this afternoon and then after my exercise DVD I ate it as slowly as I could and it was lush.

    I think this could be the way to go, it's pretty low in calories but it's got the taste I crave.

    I went for my usual walk this morning but it's so cold I couldn't face it again this afternoon so I did extra on my DVD instead. I could see my breath outside when I was hanging out the washing mid morning.

    I'm glad it worked for you, it was a good treat for me too, whenever I had a real craving.

    My weekend at my parents has now come to an end. It was pretty typical of a weekend at home - lots of meals out, and my parents bought some treats for when I did eat in the house. I think I saw 2 small side salads and 2 raspberries the whole 4 days I was there (I'm not sure the raspberries count because they were on top of cakes!)

    Going to draw a line under the weekend. Will have to grin and bear the results on the scales on Friday, and the clean eating starts again tomorrow. Been reading up on nutrition, and am going to up the fibre content in my diet for a couple of weeks to see if it helps my waistline.

    Hi everyone

    Minicooper- I read fibre is good for your diet/filling you up the only downside is it can get alittle erm.............windy :rotfl:

    Not much to report here apart from i cracked yesterday and ate 2 hero chocs!

    Ive come into work today and my friend has given me a bag of crisps!! Everyday this week someone at work has given me food- they either think i need fattening up (unlikely!) or that im some sort of human dustbin :rotfl:

    Today:

    B: 1 seeded bread toasted with butter, 2 eggs scrambled
    S: 1 boiled sweet, banana
    L: HM tuna & sweetcorn salad with carrot sticks and 2 oakcakes
    S: 2 satsumas, apple
    T: cheese sandwich, french fries, mini (you aint kidding!) choc bar

    Be good :)

    :eek::eek: Well it didn't warn about that side effect!! I'll bear that in mind before I go nuts for fibre then...

    Got the worst sinus headache today, it's made me feel a bit queasy. Stopped to get hayfever tablets to see if that would help, but also bought a couple of 'sorry for myself' treats :o

    Also, not sure if the headache is driving me a little nuts, but I think my new housemates have been helping themselves to my cheese. I opened a new block last Thursday to grate a small amount of cheese over a tray bake. I was away Friday to last night, but this evening I only had half a block left, and it was sliced flat (no grating bumps). I know that will make me sound petty, but I was really proud of how long I was making my cheese last, and now "I've" used half a block over 2 meals :eek:

    To go all out for a strop, at least if they keep helping themselves to my cheese, I'll be more inclined to buy none at all!
