    Evening all :D
    It's my brothers birthday on monday and he has just said he would like a Ale home brew kit. Anyone know if they sell them in A's. T's, sainsbobs and what sort of prices are they? Got vouchers for Sains, and T's so would be good to get there and get a price match, brand match etc. Been trying to find the prices online and mys without success.

    Tia :)

  • How often do you feel hungry throughout the day? Are you sure it's hunger? Try letting it go, it will soon pass. Most of the time I think we eat out of habit - get up in the morning have breakfast, have a cup of tea and a biscuit, everyone is going to lunch so I'll have lunch.....

    I got to the point where I had ignored that feeling for so long, I never felt hungry - if I didn't feel hungry then I didn't eat. But with eyes on you you can't get away with that for long so I ended up eating by the clock for years because my body wouldn't tell me ( or I wasn't listening). I would eat really slow because I found it so hard sometimes up to an hr for a sanwhich! It drove my family potty.

    Earlier this year I had a breakthrough moment when I actually felt hungry :j

    I have put my body through some crap I have been skin and bone and I have binged to hugeness. Now I'm on my way to middle ground, I eat 'clean' and I have a set amount of exercise and a rest day. None of this getting up early to clock 2hrs on the bike before everyone else gets up. It's taken nearly a year to shift the excess weight sensibly and I'm not far off my target pair of jeans :)

    I will admit I have found it hard reading about all your 500cal days but that is my problem and I can skip over them :)

    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Wilkinsons are meant to be very well priced. Shame he didn't tell you last week as they had a half price sale. They deliver too.

    Very well spoken. I'm glad you have managed to find the right way for you. For so many of us, it's all or nothing and a lot of people really struggle to listen to the body and not what our minds are telling us

    Please tell us if the diet chat becomes too much. Absolutely the last thing I'd want is for it to become detrimental to anyone :(

    Thanks :)

    It's far easier for me to skip - it's my problem, none of yours and so many of you are benefitting from it :) So just like if gardening or baking or rude jokes are not to your likening then just move on. This thread is here for everyone.

    Doubt I'll be on much next week anyway - I'm off on my travels :) :j
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
