    Happy Hypno can definitely stay especially with the clever ideas about a healthy balanced lifestyle.

    I think you will find, from memory, that if you look on the pot, there is NO mention of calories in Ben & Jerry's.......

    So, obviously, there is no need to do ANY exercise to offset.....

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    See what happens! You really scared me there....turning mattresses over indeed! The sheer logistics of it are beyond me, so I've had to have some chocolate for the shock. And if you have the little fun size ones, they are so small that they keep the calorie information on the outside bag, so as far as I can see there aren't any calories in them either!

    Yikes!

    That list is really scary!

    Took a second look at it and realized that I often bypass Level One and Two, but do many of the things in level Three and lots of the extras... (insert shuggy smiley here)

    So question is what does that say about my supposed aversion to housework?????

    No, I think it is true - they don't put the calories and fat on the carton at all - obviously because ice cream is actually "medicine", to make us feel better, calories don't even come into it!

    Aversion? What aversion?

    Alternatively, it could be like me happily skipping starters and mains and heading straight for the puddings and coffee :rotfl:

    Now that's a theory I can live with - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - but like the cleaning I'm a bit upside down - personally would skip the mains and the puddings and only have starters!

    Afternoon all.....am struggling with the calories bit!

    I need to get out of the bad snacking habit.....it has always been my point of least resistance, especially when bored/stressed/narked.

    When I stop snacking, my weight is where I need it to be. It is not my actual mealtimes that need addressing, just the bits inbetween. If I don't snack, and I do a *reasonable* amount of exercise, I feel fab......

    ......after a few days!

    So, today as day one of revisiting my better habits, I am finding it tough. With my new (ish) "one day at a time" focus on life, I am only doing this for today. Tomorrow is another day, with another set of expectations (and a lovely lunch with a friend to include in the mix).

    So I am *only* not snacking for today - how difficult can it be!?! I am not stressed, am not narked, and am not bored.....I am just in the (bad) habit of eating the wrong things in between meals, and like Pavlov's dog, my body is telling me it is time for a kitkat, or two, or three.....:o

    *sigh*

    Oh, and before anyone says I can snack, just on "good" things - yes, I know - my food today has been:

    Breakfast - 2 weetabix with milk and a teaspoon of sugar
    Snack - banana
    Lunch - tin of chicken noodle soup from my "desk storecupboard"
    Snack - banana

    I need to stay focused - just for today. I need to stay focused - just for today.....
