    Birdie, I don't care if you eat the bun! Thats my point, you're only accountable to yourself, not to anyone on here, and therefore if you actually want to loose the weight its only you you're letting down not anyone on here. Personally I don't care, you're slim enough anyway!

    I was only teasing... but then you come out with 'you're only letting yourself down' aka the Mum guilt trip and make me feel bad! ;)

    I don't care though, the bun was lovely!

    I wouldnt exactly say your letting yourself down. People very rarely succeed on diets if they dont allow themselves to have treats.
    And for what its worth i dont think you need to lose any weight - so why not have another bun :D

    Well done Tete! :beer:

    It will be exciting seeing your moving out fund increase!

    And well done on resisting the chocolate, but you should do something else to celebrate!

    I really need to get back into DooYoo, I lost all willpower once I had withdrawn a voucher! But I have tons of toiletries I could review so I need to make a start.

    Where have loads of the good smilies gone?!

    Yay well done Tete! As everyone says, there's no point dwelling on it, just look forward to saving!

    I'm a bit stuffed now Flower, but thanks for the go ahead! I really got the munchies last night for cake, I was so close to baking a chocolate cake but I somehow distracted myself and didn't do it, thank goodness! The bun has satisfied me for now. It's my TOTM right now so it doesn't make sense to not have something sweet if I want it or I may go mad and/or sob uncontrollably!

    I'm not really in the dieting frame of mind right now which is why I'm being so lax about it, I think once we book the wedding and I want to seriously buy a dress I'll be more motivated because I'll have a timeline to stick to!

    Know how you feel Tete, I hate that I'm paying off a CC again, but then I rationalise it that it was used for sensible things like the honeymoon, photographer deposit and sale stuff for our first house, that said I really, REALLY don't want to be back here again! You need to celebrate tonight with a night off, glass of wine etc.

    Yeah, you definitely have to want to do it. I had a bit of a wobble yesterday as I was with some friends - proper 'we'll tell you the truth even if it hurts' friends - and I told them how much weight I'd put on in the last month and they all said they were totally shocked and it didn't look like it at all. So, either I've misjudged them or 10lb doesn't actually make a difference to anyone else!

    Part of me (the little devil on my right shoulder) said 'so, why bother? Go eat cake', but I guess the point is it's obvious to *me* and I'm the one who has to live with it.

    Sorry for rambling! I'm just trying to distract myself from stoopid parking ticket I got this morning. Grr!

    Nope 10lbs rarely gets noticed by anyone else! Not unless you're seriously tiny skeltetal looking, then people notice how well you look!
