    It's sort of good Beanie - if I hadn't put anything on I would have thought I could get away with lattes galore and fry ups, I was getting very bored with dieting so got a break but haven't put on soooo much it seems impossible to lose.... I'm ok with that but need to buy some food... salad is looking good all of a sudden:D!

    Skinty, I so know what you mean about healthy eating all the time, your mind starts to crave really naughty things:o

    Funny thing is though, when I do eat something unhealthy I feel really yukky afterwards.

    I am defrosting some chicken fillets for a curry tonight, just need to find a low fat curry sauce.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I've STS this week too. Quite happy with that, stressful week plus off work on holiday. Back to it tomorrow ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    STS this week, so pleased with that, if I didnt have to come on and post, judging by my past efforts there'd be a lb or 2 back on and Id rarionalise it, then it'd be a stone, so I'll keep posting..... thanks for the support

    Lou, make you own sauce - bit of water, loads of chopped onions, garlic, cumin, coriander, chilli etc to taste. Cook it for ages, then blitz with a hand blender to make a sauce :D

    Yep, back to work tomorrow :(

    I have never tried making my own sauce before, bit scared:eek:

    Might try that as an experiment next week, do you need chopped tomatoes in it too?

    I have another week off:p
