    Oooh so tantalisingly close! But life is now marching on in WHDFW land, and rightly so. You should be very proud, you ran the debts up, you admitted it and you paid it back - that deserves a big well done in my books. I hope I am in your shoes in 2 years time.

    Glad your exam is over, your to do list sounds very much like mine! including the lose weight and sort wardrobe out lol - have you been on DTs thread - its a very hot topic at the mo' she's set us all off!

    its the comfort eating that gets me every time, you just want something 'nice' because you've been good all day etc. Only thing that stops me is visualising myself not fitting in something - ski pants for instance! and every time I feel myself wavering I just imagine that picture and sometimes it stops me in my tracks - not every time mind. The only other way for me is to plan plan plan! and you know how we love a good plan - infact, make diet plan is now on my to do list lol! cgx

    Thanks both :cool:

    What this BL? On the eating front BTW Bach have launched a comfort eating tool !!

    Stayed true to target today. Ate healthily and well and didn't indugle at all which is great. Managed to take the hound for a good trot tonight as well so feeling energised before I go out in a couple of mins. I'm going to try and post everyday to ensure that I say on track.

    :p
