    Sounds like you're all set to me. Errr, shoes polished? Alarm clock set? Can't think of anything else. Good luck! :)

    Is it just me? I am doing the SW plan and all I can think about is chocolate and crisps, I have had loads to eat today but my mind knows that I am on a diet plan (although we are not allowed to call it a diet) so all I can think about is the other half of bounty bar that is lying in my bag that I was saving for tomorrow.

    I need to find a way of tricking my brain to think that I dont want the chocolate...or the packet of kettle crisps that is in the cupboard.

    Maybe I could offset the choc & crisps with exercise? How many miles on the treadmill would I have to do? Or maybe an early night would be the answer;)

    I would rather have the chocs and kettle crisps though.

    I need a distraction.:rolleyes:

    Louise, I am having a terrible day diet-wise too. It was all going sooo well, but I've had chocolate AND crisps this evening. I'm determined to get back on the wagon tomorrow though.

    good luck tomorrow elantan.

    If you don't eat chocolate for a few days Louise the urge goes (works with me anyway) otherwise a wee bit here and there is always a temptation to have a huge bar/box/truckload for me!

    Problem with me is I'm fine at work (polishes halo in smug fashion) then I get home and the kids have left their lunchbox stuff up in their bedroom where I happen to be sometimes and the rest, as they say, is history.

    So are you giving me permission to eat the rest of the Bounty bar and the Kettle crisps? It might make you feel better if I do as you wont feel like you are alone then. I am willing to make the sacrifice for a friend:A

    There is always chocolate around in this house though, I have 2 teenage boys who are chocolate dependent:rotfl:
