    Day 12 today :A - I have, however, lost no weight - shucks...

    I am also thinking about giving up crisps - since all those reports this week say less salt helps you sleep better...

    How very disappointing for you. I hope the crisp thing goes well if you decide to turn thinking into inaction on the scoffing front.

    I had a couple of nasty shocks last week and decided the only solution was chocolate. I allowed myself to eat as much as I wanted, which was a lot, as in chocolate cake for breakfast and lunch etc, and it worked. I may be a ton heavier but I feel perfectly happy. However, I also realised that a surge in sugar consumption correlates with the nights I don't switch the light out until very, very late, stupidly late, as in 3.10am this morning which is helpful to know.

    Barny you do so well, without making a song an dance about it that I just wanted to say - 23 is a mightyfine total. There are probably quite a few people on here who are quietly envious.

    1/30 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
  • Well I finished the month at 17/20, after all that guff I wrote about being only 1 under, and not to beat myself up. I think I gave myself the green light for some 's*d it' moments. Last night was HALF a glass of wine. What a waste of an AFD. I suppose it's good that it's just a small amount though as cutting down is my overall goal.

    I think I'm going to aim for 18 in April please.
