    Well I have a craving for chocolate, I didn't buy any with my weekly shop (sort of a test to myself - why ? No idea ?) but there's Mars Bars on offer at the Co-op round the corner from me, a 4 pack for a pound.
    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 long :(

    I was very good, went round there with only 89p in my pocket for 2 pints of milk, so that's all I got !

    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

    Will keep checking in when I need some motivation - like all the time! :rolleyes:

    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 stages :( Bad times :(

    I seem to remember you saying a few days back you had problems with itunes - in what respect ?

    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:D

    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.

    Hate those excess pounds:mad: hate the fact that it's soooooooo easy to put on, and so damn difficult to lose.

    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:D

    *crawls in looking very faint & weak* :D

    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 :D . 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:

    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.
