    thank you, i'm hoping it's tasty as i'm not the biggest soup fan in the world but need something warm at work and really want to lose weight this week.
    It's leek, onion, mushroom and chicken stock and water. All things i like so i'm hopeful.

    Thank you consultant for the shiny new thread and the very poignant poem. Think we ALL know how that feels.


    Had my chocolate fix but don't worry the heros are safe :p. My darling hubby got in the car and drove to the garage for me. Not only did he get the fruit & nut for me he got half the shop :eek:. Will have to be extra extra good to avoid all that choc :o.
    I love my hubby dearly but hes not helping :rotfl:.
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

    PPI Party Pooper
    Well i have had a planned off day as it is hubbys birthday, and i havent even eaten any birthday cake as i'm so full from dinner! Forgotten how stodgy and filling non SW food can be. We had lasagna and garlic bread, nice and easy as i'm so tired from work and lack of sleep last night. Probably got about 4 hours max, and it was pretty disjointed, so i'm typing this from my laptop in bed as i'm having an early night.

    Thanks for the new thread consultant:D

    Hopefully today won't wreck my weightloss too much, i weighed myself on friday and i was 9st 9 but i reckon today will have pushed me up a little again. If i can be 9st 9 this time next week i'll be quite pleased!

    Christmas is 7 weeks on saturday, so if i can be 9st by christmas i'll be really chuffed. That is my goal;)

    Well done to all the losers:T

    oooh new thread

    thanks for the comments this morning guys, i was having abit of a wobble

    i think i need to remember to cook food when hungry instead of going for a snack - even if low syn because i will then get a taste for it and eat 4 packs lol

    also i think i need to go back to ee from green - i was eating alot of bread and feeling bloated
  • hello again everyone

    why do i do it to myself ??????

    am trying to clear out my cupboards instead of canstantly buying more food so i made a load of mincemeat cake. thought i'd have 5 syns worth and ended up eating 15 syns worth followed by a chomp :o

    i wasn't even enjoying it to be honest .
    i have WI first thing tomorrow i am still under my 105 syns for the week but have been away so there is some guess work in there .

    to make it worse i am hungry again !!!
    think i will go green and have some weetabix and banana

    thanks for the new thread and poem consultant i love the story too !!

    think i need to get back in the mood for SW this week , i have had a funny few weeks and don't feel quite myself .
