  • I don't want to speak too soon but I have stuck to it today (fingers crossed for the next few hours) and have managed to eat just about 1500 calories AND can (sort of) tick off my 5 a day - for once I am not counting wine as one portion on the basis it is 'fruit juice'

  • Had chinese takeaway.

    oh dear.

    but did walk back from the station.

    am now going to lay down due to the double strain of walking and eating lots of take away.

    I've been good so far today too, I have stuck to SW ;)

    Problem is, I've just noticed there is Christmas cake left :o

    Don't do it!! Be strong!! May the force be with you.

    If it wasn't so wasteful I would suggest the 'chuck it in the bin and cover it with washing up liquid' routine. Shame it doesn't fall into 'free' foods (if SW still has free foods) ;)

    What about if we thought of it as lots of fruit, stuck together with little bits of cake :p

    Imho chocolate is made from beans, which are vegetables, and blueberry muffins are a portion of fruit....so by that logic Christmas cake and chocolate orange and jaffa cakes and toblerone all count as one of your 5 a day :D
