God I am bored today. Haven't cheated or been tempted. Sick of chicken and broccoli, I just want to eat something crunchy that comes in a packet. Crisps !
Will be okay tomorrow as back at work, if I haven't lost a load of weight a week Tuesday I am going to go on a rampage . Down another notch on my belt.

worriedjim i hear ya! i lurrrrrrrrrve crisps particularly scampi fries, spciy monster munch, chili heatwave dorittos- mmmmmmmmmmmmm

been home alone all weekend with a god awful international law essay to write and its times like this you wanna stuff your face from boredom- thank god my cupboards are bare of naughties, and there is some semi decent tv on tonight to keep me occupied!

worried_jim

decent tv? are you taking about adverts with Gary Lineker and chocolate flavoured crisps.
I didn't think that there was any international law as it hasn't really been written yet- I guess that's a short essay !

Would nuts relieve the craving?

Are you doing your essay about supranational law, based on the limitation of the rights of sovereign nations between one another ?

trouble is the sort of nuts I like only come in a snickers bar- does sucking off the chocolate count, coz I'm not actually chewing so therefore I am not eating, am I?

Thanks pilly, yes I do eat them quite a lot!!:rotfl:
Think HC does a version with blue cheese so I'm thinking of trying that.
Also, before I went off the rails at the weekend, I made them with smoked cheddar & it was lush!! Think the cheese was called smoked applewood? It has a paprika dusting on the outside - totally yummy!!

Oh-smoked applewood-I ate nearly a whole pack of it the other day-its addictive!
Heartburn-Ive never suffered this until about 6 weeks ago when I was having to get up in the night-drink milk-sit up-whatever(I hate tablets) but funny thing is when I started Atkins it disappeared.
So far we have covered
farting
smelly poo
heartburn
All cured!

Unfortunatly that was one of last years essays in my eu law module, this one is based on consent as the binding force of international law- you are right to a certain extent in that it is yet to be written but law is never that straight forward. This is with regard to treaties, international custom which is a type of law, general principles of law etc bla bla bla- the culmination of which epitomises the current state of int law.

only a few more months then degree done! wahoo and hopefully i will be nice and thin(ish) for the summer ball:T

Thanks for the link, shykins - I' ve bookmarked it so I can have a sit down and read through later today. I'm also going to read this thread through from start to finish, it looks like it is going to be a pretty mamoth task, what a huge thread!

I think I may give this a go. I know it sounds really dumb, but I am a little worried (in truth, scared!) of giving up bread and potatoes! I am pretty much addicted to them and they make up a large proportion of what I eat most days. The thought of going without is a bit ........well, eek!
