    Can I join the twonk club?? :rotfl:
    I am feeling hopeless right now.
    I just can't get into it.
    And it's just going to get worse with christmas and birthday 'treats'. got some chocs from work the other day, for xmas, they are all gone now! Appauling behaviour.
    The only thing making me feel better is doing a workout dvd every now and then.

    Puds - if you dont want to have to bring up your 'diet' or offend your mates/family by refusing their food, why not make it easier on yourself and tell them you are avoiding rich food cos of a tummy bug or something. then they wont pressure you to 'indulge' with them...

    Just remember I am King Twonk ....

    As for bringing up the diet food thing with others I tell them in no uncertain terms, I actually find it easy to be strong with others, !!!! off or ill hit you / bear with a sore head growl growl growl

    where its hard for me is on my own or with my OH and when I am cold and bored ..

    a lot of my problem right now is fuelled by totm - just want chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate and more chocolate

    Update, found some minstrels at the back of a cupboard and from my reaction you would have thought it was a winning lottery ticket

    you should have feeding days anyway, it kicks your metabolism up a notch, they do it one day a week on the BL

    trouble is we are having every day as a feeding day :D

    ah right. I'd hate that though, it would be like having a taste of what you want and then boom back to reality again!

    I'm forcing myself back onto the right track today. the first day is always the toughest (at least thats what i keep telling myself) soup and salad only today, a bit of a carbohydrate detox i suppose :-)

    so you'd actually forgotten that they were there in the first place? blimey that's amazing...i cant remember the last time i wasnt able to accurately locate every single morsel of confectionary in the kitchen, even in the middle of the night with all the lights off! :D

    As for being firm with people at christmas, i dont have any trouble doing that, its myself that i have trouble controlling, especially when there is so much stuff to pick at all the time. I might go all day saying no thanks no thanks no thanks , but then as soon as nobody is looking i'll just stuff great handfuls of it down my face.... so to be on the safe side its best if me and food are just not in the same building!

    after saying enough is enough this morning, DHL sent me a whole pile of thornton hampers to deliver ...well i think that must be Gods way of saying "oi fatty i'm watching you" !!!

    do you mean something similar to sinking your teeth into a succulent hot buttered corn cob, only to discover that its made of plastic? :p
