Giving up the Sweet/Savoury Stuff Support Thread! (All welcome!)

Chocolate I can take or leave for the most part (I know this makes me, ahem, rather unusual) but I'm a fiend for savoury snacks. I adore cheasy biccys and nuts of any description. My strategy is to carry about carrot sticks, pieces of fresh fruit or dried fruit in my handbag and try to fill up on them between meals. but my plans are often foiled by the sadists I work with who bring in crisps and things like that to share.

I'm going to start tomorrow! Of course, I had to eat the last of the galaxy bar I had this evening so I start with good intentions and all that. I hope I can do this - I could do with losing a few lbs as well, so maybe it'll go hand in hand!

Good luck everyone!

Good idea, but darn those pesky workmates!

I need to as well. Let's hope it goes well. I drank a Frijj milkshake tonight, though, so I'm not sure if that's the best place to start...and ate some Haribo.

Well done for starting so soon...I'll be trying to be fairly good between here and the 21st, then doing my maths.

Count me in too
My weakness is on the savoury side (I can eat a whole tube of Pringles )
I'll start my spending diary this month - and review next month if that's OK? I have NO idea what I spend on snacky stuff :o

Course it is! And wait until you see your dairy - I bet you'll fall over, as I will. :rolleyes:

Can I join too? And do you promise to give me a kick up the bottom if I fall of the wagon?

I am already on the no clothes spend and I think not spending money on treats will boost my savings big time! (and help fund my book habit:cheesy:)

I also need to lose weight because I moved from a busy retail job to an office job where I am sat on my butt all day! I thought going to the gym would be enough but I have just thought about what I have eaten today and.....:eek:

Will have to start the spending diary first, and then I will follow your plan InaPickle!

Only if you'll do the same for me! And dearie me, but so I require a big kick today...I'll give myself until the end of the month.

And I'm starting to notice that there are quite a few book addicts as well. We might have to start a support thread for giving them up as well, although I just couldn't bring myself to do it. :rolleyes: Libraries, Ebay & book swap sites here we come...:T
