    I have three children, none of whom knew that Easter eggs came with backs until they were about 6 :o This is because their horrid mother carefully unwraped the packaging took the eggs apart and leaving the middle (I'm not that cruel) wrapped them up again:eek: Sorry kids! Guess my weight problem is no mystery:confused:
  • ohhh I am too fat but I just cant get motivated. Any tips?

    I really struggle to stick to anything for more than a day or two, except for when I had gallstones, and then I did stick religiously to a low fat diet for 2 years, but then the pain was a pretty good reason to avoid grease!

    Now I have raised blood pressure and I really want to get it down by losing weight, but I just seem to lack motivation...

  • Either that or I'm just plain stupid???

    Since after xmas there has been the remains of a tin of celebrations sitting in the corner of the conservatory. No-one has been near them as all the nice ones are gone.

    Having a tidy round as it's bin day tomorrow and I decided to empty the sweets into a bowl to get rid of the tin. I sat the bowl on top of the fridge and so far have managed to eat 10 snickers. Then to round it off I've also eaten 2 Tunnocks chocolate teacakes.

    Think I should go to bed as I can feel my Pac Man head coming on.

    I think my name should be Mrs Pringle cos "Once I pop, I can't stop" AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!! :EasterBun

    hi

    well, not a great day here. I was doing really well until I went back into work this evening, we had lots of chocolates around, which I stuffed. --- oops, did have a good session in the gym first, so not too bad.

    I think I had no eaten enough in the day time so was hungry so gave into temptation.

    Saversarn - I can't beleive you only eat the back of the easter eggs - I'm in trouble with DH as I keep eatting LO's potty training chocolate buttons, and I eat the Xmas chocolate lollipops.

    Well done to the newbies who posted today -I'm sure sure you will feel like regulars soon

    Thats so funny!!

    I dont let my little one have any chocolates/sweets/marshmallows at christmas/easter/birthdays as i dont want him to think of them as a treat. Despite telling all relatives repeatedly that i wont let him have them, they still buy them so myself and my husband feel obliged to eat them on his behalf!

    Thats not to say that he never has a biscuit or chocolate, just that he has it infrequently without any fanfare so he doesnt think of it as anything special. Now he gets really excited if he has grapes, or dried apricots!

    He really is a special boy! :D

    Just out of curiosity, is there a specific day that we weigh in on here?

    I know exactly what you mean. Less than a metre away is a quality street tin, with only the fudges left. Even though i dont really like them, i have to keep telling myself not to eat them!

    OOOhhh!!! I prefer fudge to snickers, I wish I'd known, we could have swapped.....at least then I may have enjoyed scoffing mindlessly. LOL!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
