    LOL i might try that. I know my mum used to stick a photo of her at her biggest on the fridge.

    I'm not that bad at resisting urges. Just sometimes at certain times or certain foods really tempt me. Although up until 3 weeks ago i was attending the gym 5 times a week burning at least 1000 calories at a time so i could pretty much eat what i want.

    Past few weeks i've been too busy redecorating and having a "summer" clean (i missed spring apparently) and i've been going maybe twice a week instead :(

    i eat through boredom (plus I quit smoking before xmas so that didnt help!), Its under control now, only because I got ruthless and stopped buying snack foods, crisps and biscuits etc. The kids hate me now :rotfl:

    Well done you!

    I put on about 3 stone too :mad: The problem was I replaced cigarettes with drinking Ribena and fruit juice, which it turns out are incredibly fattening. Now I've replaced those with water I'm starting to shed the pounds again.

    I have just cheated and had an Indian though, been flu'd up to the eyeballs all week with a lot of rubbish on my chest and usually find a curry shifts it :D
