Ooh err - that'd be a larf (not for Vix and Matt though).
I started on the pot noodles, Nik Naks and anything else horrendously spicy when expecting DD - embarassing really 'cos it was so noticeable the lads at work began asking before I was confirmed.

Granny, have you tried having a large glass of water whilst you 'think about it' - just incase you're thirsty (sorry if you've already tried that)
I couldn't put food in my mouth and just spit it out - not at all mse, would definitely have to eat it.

I couldn't believe I did it! Def not going to use it as a diet tool though!:rotfl: I think looking at the pack of mince pies just as I bit into it reminded me of all the pastry and sugar I was about to swallow. Usually can't stand them but these were one soaked with brandy - mmmmmmm! Think I'll just have the brandy and give the mince pies a miss!
Well done on the roast dindins Vix. Have a confession - the thought of miniVix did pop into my head when you said you were off your food. Any other signs?I would if I could but I can't so I won't!0 -

I thought I would give this a try this evening because I have been really craving chocolate. I unwrapped a largish dark chocolate galaxy, sniffed it for a bit, rubbed it over my lips, licked a little crumb off the edge - then scoffed the whole bl**dy thing:eek::mad: Do you think I have ruined the whole week now:o?

:rotfl: define 'largish':D . I'm with granny on this one - it start pretending, then the real thing WILL end up in my mouth and they'll be no spitting out:rotfl:retiredlady wrote: »I thought I would give this a try this evening because I have been really craving chocolate.

Marion, there is no way you have ruined the rest of the week. Just stick to plan between now and Monday wi and I think you'll still see a loss - there is no way 1 bar of chocolate will make that amount of differencer unless you are very very close to your target weight.retiredlady wrote: »Oh dear

I'm eating off piste today. Partly the fall out from visiting parents: I returnedwith a mum sized emergency food parcel. Shall we just say it doesn't contain any raw vegetables:o :rotfl:I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once0
