    Are you actually going to the garage for fuel? I always do 'pay at the pump' to avoid temptation :rolleyes:

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Yes just for fuel! I do that where they accept it...depends which fuel station I go to though! You're right they are from the devil!! Pasties are everywhere 'ere too, not just in petrol stations!!! And the smell...........OK need to get over it, no more!!

    loud speaker: Step away from the cupboards....says me who had my dinner an hour ago... when i go to filling station i always get those crisps in the red packets shapped like bears, pom something or other, heaven knows why they don't even taste of anything, strange maybe it's the fuel fumes messin with our brains ( ok this is highly unlikely and a pretty lame excuse i admit )

    How about making sure that you always have a snack in your car when you go out, I put an alpen lite bar and a couple of pieces of fruit in my bag just in case I get "caught out" when out and about.

    On many occasions I have ended up with a bounty bar in my hand because I felt a bit peckish when filling up at the petrol station.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I'm stuck in because of the snow - but I have no food in to pick at :eek: I am a daily shopper - so no stocks for being housebound!

    000 ilove this thread, lots of tips to read.

    My problem is i work perm night-shift and sleep badly ( i am insomniac, says so on my med records) nothing can be done about it just sleeping pills and i dont want to go there. Well back on subject. So i awake all night and half the day, when im off im awake all day and half the night. I have roughly 20 waking hrs time any given day :eek::eek::eek:

    But i am looking for new interests to occupy me and later this month i am starting a distance learning course with my local college, so hoping to do my course work at work :D during the night.

    Very rare i feel hungry or full :eek::eek::eek:. Im just void of food feeling, so i just eat and eat. Hence the just eat when i feel hungry. After say 12hrs with no food my tumy rumbles but thats all i can liken to hungry. I do not know what hunger aor starving feels like. Then again i never go too long with out food to truly find out :eek:. So hoping to get in to touch better with my big fat tum tum

    Well day one of the diet didnt go too badly - only slip-ups were having 5 fishermans friends (I think i'm addicted, a guy in my office always has a stockpile of them - but they cant be that high in calories??) and 3 digestive biscuits late last night, out of boredom more than anything else. Oh and I did 30minutes of the Natalie Cassidy Then and Now exercise DVD which was interesting - cant believe she doesnt wear a more supportive bra though, her boobs were all over the place!
