    Me too, I got Implanon a couple of years ago and have never eaten so much in my life, it's like I eat then half an hour later I'm hungry again! Have joined a gym so hopefully my weight will steady off!

    Have you ever just eaten the last of your dinner and start planning the next day's?

    All the time!!!! Glad it's not just me.

    I go to bed thinking about what to eat and wake up the same.

    The worst is when I've just done a shop and I fancy everything I've brought...decisions decisions ha ha. I'm lucky my shopping lasts me a week!!!!

    It is delicious YummyMummy, especially hot toast and melted butter :D

    Helnag, that is the best thing about doing the shop, You get to pick what You fancy - that's probably why I go for a pint of milk and end up buying the shop :rolleyes:

    Well done over the gyn thou, its the little extras that add up.

    have to say my sugar sandwich was gorgeous, weird, my dad loves sugar cubes, if we ever go anywhere and theres one he eats them.

    My favourite sandwich off all time has to be banana, walnut and brown sugar yum........

    My worst sandwich when I was pregnant with dd, the w~~nker as he is now known!!, moaned at me for not eating enough fruit, he was cooking me a bacon roll, so I said I'll have a banana as well, just to keep you quiet........ he thought he was doing his best, he got the roll mashed the banana and put it either side of the roll, then added the bacon and brown sauce........ I had to eat it, as he thought I was having a weird pregnancy craving........ xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Oh I know, but that's half my problem...nip in for bread and milk and end up with all the bits of yummy naughty food that they purposely put at the end of each aisle. That explains about the 1/2 stone to lose and the money to save!!!!

    At least I have finally started to realise about the little things adding up...it's taken some time.

    That really does sound vile...banana, bacon and brown sauce...Yuck.

    Give me bacon and brie, corned beef and salad cream or good old cheese and pickle any day.

    OMG, I love banana and sugar sandwiches, never had it with walnut but brown sugar sounds fab! I used to also eat sugar cubes - think I used to be a horse in a past life :rotfl:

    All this talk of food is making me hungry, wonder if my mum will feed me - visiting her tonight!

    I also like sugar cubes!

    Another fave sandwich of mine (and I'm actually cringing as I type this...) was salad cream sandwiches!

    I know, very odd but strangely very tasty....

    I used to have tomato ketchup sarnies when I got in from work (around 4am) because theres no effort, just squirt, squish and scoff. :rotfl: They don't taste nice when its light though :rolleyes:
