My sister has been doing intermittent fasting and it's working really well for her. I struggle constantly and know what I need to do and do better when I am out working. Atm it is awful. I may have to emergency buy some new clothes as nothing will fit in a few weeks!Debt free Feb 2021 🎉2

I know what you mean, I know what I should be doing but tend to ignore it left to my own devices and if I had treats in the house while working from home i'm pretty sure all those pounds would be straight back on
Well done to your sister, I could never to fasting of any kind, i'd end up so hungry i'd eat everything in sight!leggings and tshirts will be your friend don't panic, i'm sure once your back working you'll be fine, just not too many easter eggs on the weekend

Hubby wants me to buy easter eggs. He works for one of the supermarkets and they are quite concerted about being left with lots of stock and losing lots of money as no one is really buying them! I did buy some, and have one for me, but just one.Debt free Feb 2021 🎉2

I am trying to resist buying an easter egg......but i'm allowed "celebration" meals twice a week now and im wondering if I can justify a chocolate egg as dessert...…….
Why do easter eggs taste nicer than just a normal bar of chocolate

They do! There are some nice smaller ones, or a small pack of bunnies etc, may satisfy without the huge calorie count? I went for a big one 😂Debt free Feb 2021 🎉1

Tbh my philosophy is ALWAYS EAT THE CHOCOLATE so I would definitely say Easter eggs count as dessert 😂Nov 19 CC was: £1334.95 Now: £0!! 1% challenge - 100% Savings:£300.83February take lunch to work: 19/18

I think you’re definitely allowed an egg a)as a weight loss treat and b) as a reward for all your MSE progress!1

Oo thanks guys
Just realised that today is Tuesday and I missed both my normal Friday and Monday update ...oops!
In reality I just couldn't face logging into the laptop and needed a few days of no computer. As it is though I don't have much to report, all standard bills and direct debits gone, money is looking good till payday, weather has continued to be glorious although a little bit chilly this morning and I did manage to cash out on a survey site and that money went straight to the animal charity.
I'm off work this week so filling my time riding the pony (he is unimpressed), having some relaxing time and painting my garden wall, little session on it yesterday, bigger one today and hoping it will be completed tomorrow
I was naughty and got an easter egg....but I went for a little one and not a big one (I'm really glad you guys "encouraged" me as now I know I won't get shouted at) and will say I thoroughly enjoyed it as a desert!
Another pound and a half off this week so both debt and weight are continuing to go down which combined with the sunshine is making me a happy little bd80s even with everything that's going on.
I hope you all had a lovely extended weekend and managed to make it even a little different to standard days
I will try and catch up with some diaries now...….but make no promises...….I will be back properly next week though.

I got a sloth chocolate lollypop in Aldi that had been reduced and it cheered me up so much considering I'm almost 30 and not 5.....
Glad you got the egg and enjoyed it!

I bought quite a few half price eggs yesterday. Will use them to make cakes. Well, that's what I am telling myself 😂Debt free Feb 2021 🎉2
