I'm so tempted to go & get some............
oh chocolate now your talking. there was some on offer in the supermarket but i tried to ignore it calling me and it worked only because i just ad enough money for what i wanted. didnt get cereal cos it would be wasted.:mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.
I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long0 -
I was very good, went round there with only 89p in my pocket for 2 pints of milk, so that's all I got !Don't Take Life too Seriously - Nobody gets out alive :rotfl:0

Hi everybody :hello:
Well done Sarah with the detox, sounds like you are doing really well. I would never be able to do anything so strict, I'm rubbish at anything like that. Have been quite good today foodwise - so far, but there is a lot of evening left!
I sympathise with all of you who said about having lovely clothes that don't fit and excess pounds creeping up! Somehow I've managed to acumulate an extra two and a half stone from somewhere!!! It has to go! My target is to lose 10lbs by the time I have a family party on 21st March

Morning all, how's the diets/detox going?? My guts hurt today and I really don't know why... probably something to do with the gallons of coffee I've been inhaling for the last few weeks... I could probably do with a detox!
I'm off to a metal/rock festival on Sunday and cus it's only a one dayer there are loads of clashes over the 6 stagesBad times
The size of a glory hole in an open pit should not be greater than the cross-section of the haul trucks that dump into it. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a truck, sooner or later. Source: Sergio Cha

It was such a nightmare to load, but now I have my ipod I love it! I haven't actually investigated itunes much as I'm not really into music and not very technical, but I think once I have run out of self help cds to listen to on it I might give it a go. It's more of a me being useless than an itunes problem:DPay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -

The evenings are the worst, am quite good during the day but then I want something to pick at during the evenings :rolleyes: Am quite proud of myself for managing two walks though, so don't want to waste that by eating rubbish.

You should maybe try fruit teas for a while, maybe every other cup or something, they are actually quite nice. Not as nice as a large cappucccino obviously:DPay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -
*crawls in looking very faint & weak*
Hello everyone,
Good luck for tomorrow Mags :grouphug:
sarah - I'm doing it :j since the blackcurrant earlier I have had water, water with lemon & peppermint tea. I went shoppng earlier & bought lots of lovely fruit & veg & I cannot tell you how excited I am to be able to eat apples tomorrow :rolleyes: & as for the raw veg on wednesday ... well it's going to be an absolute treat .
There have been tough moments ; cooking tea for DD was one of them& watching her nibble my chocolate was another :eek: - it's now very well hidden.
I have had a headache all day but keep reading my big health & well being book to remind myself how much better I am going to feel...eventually.
I had a lovely bath earlier too & feel throughly cleansed inside & out - once I'm in the mindset the thought of sticky gucky food doesnt really appeal anymore - you have permission to quote this at me next week when I say that I'm shovelling crisps & hobnobs into my mouth :rotfl:0 -
Yar I know exactly how bad large amount of coffee are for human stomachs but it doesn't stop me!
I've found a place that sells pretty cheap grapes... I've been snacking on them and unsalted peanuts for the last few nights, works pretty well.The size of a glory hole in an open pit should not be greater than the cross-section of the haul trucks that dump into it.
