Quite :mad: not sure how much longer I can cope without delicious granary sandwiches or warm crusty baguettes it's been 9 days now ( apart from that burger & 2 slices of pizza incident)

Now, if only I could learn to cope without sweet stuff then I think I might see a bit of success :rolleyes:

You are putting me in the path of temptation. I will not go downstairs, find that baguette and spread it with (I whisper the word) butter and lime marmalade. Instead, I shall have a piece of dried pineapple, and contemplate the size of my hips. :rolleyes:

I'm sure you will see a loss soon, I do think wheat is the real culprit for a lot of people. With all the walking you were doing there has to be a reason. I'm sure I read about someone on these boards who reintroduced bread and put on 10lbs in a couple of months. :eek: It's so easy to have sandwiches at work though, need to think of something else I can have that is quick and easy.

Coping without the sweet stuff just feels impossible at the moment, I know from the last time I lost a lot of weight I cut out all sweet stuff completely, it was actually easier than cutting down.

Glad it's not just me that struggles with sweet stuff , I really thought I'd find the bread & pasta harder than it has been. I dont miss it as such, it's just a bit awkward, as you say a sandwich is just so easy.

How about soup for lunch, I know, I know, nowhere near as much fun without a hunk of warm buttery bread :rolleyes:

It was Wol who said about gaining 10lbs & suggested we have a wheat allergy to help our cause, & she is very slim which is why I'm sticking to it . I do think my hobnob baking binge might have had something to do with the increase too so am not making any more. !!!!!! this moneysaving by cooking malarkey, it's making me fat, I shall desist immediately.

Coughing too much now so going to head off for bed with my glossy for a read & sleep that apparently is going to make me lose 10lbs :rolleyes:

Thanks Sarah :A

Almost scared to mention this (!) but have you noticed on the front page there are details of a discount on Kurt Geiger shoes that involves buying a magazine !!! :rolleyes: Now that's the sort of MSE I like

I have this magazine (I get Elle on subscription) but the discount is £15 which sounds good until you realise most KG shoes are over £100.

However if anyone feels the need for a pair of KG shoes send me a pm and I'll post you the voucher. You migth as well save the £3.70 for the mag as well!

Hi All

Been out this eve so not been in to catch up and have seen I've missed out on a lot this eve!

VSS - would love to join in your virtual training session. If I could get rid of my bingo wings I would love you forever..... I do ride my bike to work each day but it is only 10 mins each way so not really that much exercise:o

Sarah - glad you turned off stupid radio debate thingy - how annoying!

You have all eaten far better than me. I had an unexpected buffet lunch at work - mini scotch egg, quiche, coleslaw, sausage roll etc plus a doughnut. And someone gave me a hot cross bun this morning. Then was going to eat some soup for dinner before going out but didn't have enough time so had a Kinder Bueno on the way instead (hmmm, not entirely sure that is a suitable meal replacement????) And a glass of red wine (anti-oxidants) and a packet of crisps in the pub.

I did however have an ORANGE!! see I did manage something healthy!:j

Lula - howabout honey as sweetner? Or would that be a carb??? Most confused with no-carb diet to be honest.

I follow a diet sometimes (not today obviously) which has no white or refined flour products (so you have wholemeal bread, pasta etc) and I eat a lot of oatcakes when I do this. I like the taste of them and they are good for you too! I quite like them with a bowl of soup.

Hi all, the dentist was not as bad as I feared:D I thought it was a filling but it turned out to just be a check up on some previous work, I do need a filling but I will wait until next time, due to cost really, am going to be quite poor this month.

Anyway, I decided I would open an isa today, so went in search of my passport for ID as I have misplaced my driving licence, only to find I have also misplaced my passport . They must be in my room somewhere but I just cannot find them So, I decided to have a huge overhaul of all the documentation, statements etc lying around in boxes and files, some of which I have discovered is over 5 years old:eek: Why am I hoarding all this stuff?

This of course could not be achieved without a shiny new document file, so have been to the shops for file (£5.99), a totally unnecessary letter rack which I thought might suit the new, organised:rolleyes: me (£2.49) and a large cappuccino (£2.60).

Am now busying myself with the actual destroying and filing, had no idea when I started what a mammoth task it would be, but I want to get everything I need in one tidy file to avoid the horrible panic when I need something and have no idea where to start. I want to be able to behave like a proper in control adult for a change:rolleyes:

Am hoping the decluttering will give me more room and stop me feeling so "crushed" and overwhelmed whenever I look at the corner of my room. Am also hoping to save the cost of replacement passport and licence:rolleyes:

Have had nothing to eat today due to dentist and rushing around so have got sausages and mash cooking, I know it's not very good re the diet but I am starving and I did have the capuccino without sugar:o

I have now filled 2 bin bags with stuff I had no need of:rolleyes:

Unfortunately my room looks as if i have been burgled. Now i have started it I'll have to finish, was also planning to use this week to make at least one bag of books for the charity shop, have a ruthless declutter of the wardrobe and buy and construct a small table for my room, so if I can manage at least some of that I will be very happy. Am still seething about passport and licence I need them for my lovely file.

*wanders off to start new bin bag*
