it has been a full moon these past few days not sure which day it was....I wonder if thta has had an effect on these hunger pangs we seem to had lately, I know on friday I had murdress cravings and agter a few chips and some 75% choc I was fine and back on the L C wagon....
Sweets ....step back on the L C wagon ......( I have thoughts of the Deadwood stage coach now and Doris Day) some times the step on the stage coach is a bit high!!!
Tis my Happy:bdaycake: birthday to me day today so I have given myself 24hrs off L Cing.
Funny things I dont know what all the fuss is about the toast I used to love isnt that fab in real life.

Also caught the end of a program late on Monday night by Esther Rasons daughter re; the sugar industry and how much hidden sugar is in so called "healthly /normal food"she found it such a shocking eye opener..
Shame it was on so late It might have been of help to so many.
I think it could be on I player if any one wants to catch it ..
keep strong...

THURSDAY
Yes I am sure that is it..well done.
You lot are a clever bunch......
Dont mention toaster...........I spied my lime marmalade in the fridge and remember the wonderful senestion of hot toast......
luckily I didnt cave in.........
made do with a glass of water:T

you welcome.
I do low carb diet with toast in the morning....just make sure it is wholemeal one with as little additions as possible (i believe Cranks is the best) and use no sugar fruit spread (thinly spread) from H&B.......and no more than 2 pieces and (!) no fat or proteins at least for 3-4 hours after that.
I usually have eggs with salad for lunch after this treat in the morning...eggs because they contain chromium picolinate...
This works fine for me.
Also, if you are into cinnamon, dust some over the spread...lovely

Just don't eat it any other time but morning and you should be fine....

Thursday, if i have toast in the morning, everything goes to pot for the rest of the day.

I have to stay off the hi carb stuff completely now, i dont know if it's because its such an addiction or what, but seems to be like alcoholics, one glass and they cant stop, so have to stay off completely.

I wish i could manage to do that tho as brekkie is the hardest meal for me.



Happy Birthday to craftygal

Did you see fat families on sky recently?
The presenter, a former fatty, used to go to a shopping mall and show the crowds how bad certain foods were, and everyone was shocked at how much sugar is consumed in a year, if you have one bowl of coco pops a day, two great big plastic towers were filled ... shocking

Another good one he did was showing how much weight (in blocks of lard stacked sky high) is gained in a year by having just one large daily muffin (the cake variety)

He put two of my friends off chocolate for life

I understand...was there once myself; but when you reach your goal and start with carbs just make sure carbs you eat are not the ones that will rule you, but the other way around. Cinnamon also helps taming carbs...as does Earl Grey apparently...
best of luck

was that Esther Rantzen's daughter? was going to have an early night, but started watching it and watched to the end. Shoud have recorded it to show my DD (11) who doesnt get cocopopos or frosties for breakfast, no white bread (HM in breadmaker) or fizzy drinks etc. and thinks its not fair cos her most of her friends get these. I do make white bread as an occasional treat and she does get the odd bottle of pop every now and then a fancy cereal. It might help her to understand why I try to feed her healthy foods. Unfortunately she seems to have a sweet tooth.
