Of course it is fine. If you are hungry you need to eat! I would just be aware of the side effects:eek:The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -

Thanks for asking susiebear. I didn't go to WI for 2 weeks after reaching my target and was pleased I had only put on 1.5lbs. This was considering I'd treated myself to quite a few things that I'd previously banned (fish with batter and real chips was one:o). I've been better this week and managed to stay just about within syns and although I'm out tonight for a meal I'm hoping it won't have caught up with me by tomorrow's WI. I'm planning to have as many 'good' days as I can for this rest of this month as I have a number of birthdays to celebrate plus a week's holiday. I'm sure I'll go over target at some point but I know how to get it back!
to not being able to afford a new wardrobe. I'm going to need new winter stuff too. For the summer I bought just a couple of pairs of M&S trousers and a number of tops from CS. They've been great, some really good brands and at just £2-3 each a real bargain. I know CSs aren't to everyone's taste but I've been willing to experiment with colours at their prices where previously I'd been very conservative (for that read black;)) if I was spending good money!
EE today:
B: NAS squash, HEB toast, baked beans, HEA milk for teas, satsuma
L: marmite sandwich, apple and cottage cheese
going out and I'm not choosing the venue so hopefully reasonably sensible
Syns: 1 glass of wine and whatever's in my dinner!0 -

when i need a wee boost, i do try on some "big" clothes....just to feel them hanging on me...and i do try on some "tight" clothes...to feel them getting more comfy on me....
if i think i am gonna eat something that i really know i dont need...i do paint my nails (by time they are dry, the notion has past) or i brush my teeth, then rinse with really strong mouth wash.....then i dont wanna eat,
good luck, hang on in there x;)0
