    Your food all sounds exciting, I'm porridge, home made soup and nuts every day, somedays I go wild and don't eat the porridge :) but the main thing is since starting, whilst yes I have had sugar, I havn't went out and bought any, so I call that a result :)

    Thanks everyone :)

  • I haven't been very good in posting on here this week but I have been good and brought a packed lunch in every day :D It's been rather boring this week though with waiting for pay day to come round, has basically been sandwiches in some form every day with yoghurt and fruit but at least it's another week of not wasting money on lunches.

    Was sorely tempted to get a bacon butty this morning though, someones doing a sandwich run so the office is going to be smelling lovely when she gets back :(

  • Shop bought superbean, lentil and barley soup for me today - but qualifies as no spends as brought in from home with...... wait for it...... mini pitta pockets - life in the fast lane. 5/5 for me this week so very pleased with myself. Now it's just got to become natural rather than me having to think about it every day.
