ETA: I was very proud last night when I went to Morrisons and saw the new Cadbury bars at £1.24 and resisted buying one. I stood looking at them, put one in my basket and walked off. Got halfway down the aisle and then went and put it back. Was very proud walking home
The more infrequently you eat chocolate, the less you'll desire it..
I used to eat chocolate at least once a day, but I stopped eating anything with added sugar last year. Now I never have the urge for chocolates or biscuits, although the smell of chocolate is still gorgeous.
I 'treated' myself to some chocolate at Christmas, but found that I didn't enjoy it after the initial taste so I threw it away.I have no signature.0 -
Chocolate is my biggest weakness, and unfortunately it isn't something I can have in moderation, so I don't have any.0

Morning everyone
On a fast day today and feeling quite hungry! I had a rice cake when I got up this morning, which I think was a mistake. Planning on skipping lunch to save all my cals for dinner, but I think I might give in. Have a mini salad of beans and peas to eat if I really need to. Got some lovely fresh laid eggs from my parents yesterday, so planning on having boiled eggs and soldiers for tea. I can't wait!
Good luck to everyone else fasting today.0 -
Fast day for me as well today, had sushi for lunch and will have either chicken casserole or thai chicken curry from Look What We Found - 197 or 211 calories I think, with extra veg for dinner.
It's weird, I love cooking but on a fast day I just want something delicious put in front of me, the calorie counting does my head in a bit and these are really tasty, so works for me and OH.
FYI - they have a 15% offer on a £40 order and free delivery online at the moment - I would highly recommend them.
Apologies if I shouldn't "advertise", I promise I am not on commission and have nothing to do with this co., but other fasters might find them helpful too.
Keep up the good work!0 -
Hi all, I'm fasting as well. Looking forward to my sweet and sour chicken and rice! (Hairy Bikers)
Hope everyone has had a good day.

-4.5lbs. I am sceptical it is genuine to be honest. It makes -9.5lbs in 2 weeks, and I am only BMI 25.4ish. Granted I started week 1 somewhat bloated, but still, onward and upwards.0
