Doing well so far!! Although I was soooooooo tempted for fish and chips last night, luckily OH reminded me how good I have been on late and that we'd save a fiver for not doing it. I made him transfer the fiver into our savings account...HA HA! Don't think he was so smug then!!!
Sat I am off for a run and her hubby is treating us to a takeaway as a reward.....does that count as I won't be spending any money on it??? I feel bad.
M.I.L has invited us round to her house on Sunday night for a takeaway.:eek: Going to ask her if we can all bring something like a frozen pizza instead!!! Not sure if F.I.L will be up for that!
Me and the OH used to get 2+ takeaways a week in our previous life. Instead now we eat out about once every other month, which is so much nicer and a real treat - you really come to appreciate it! I don't feel guilty any more either as I know we've earned it.
I get my curry fix the rest of the time by either making it myself or getting the Asda curries as others have mentioned. If you haven't tried them they really are good. If you prefer a Chinese the Asda crispy duck is fantastic... I'm tempted to say its better than my local restaurant!
Good luck all!
Good thing I'm doing this as yet another health professional has told me I need to lose weight :rolleyes: Stupid one leg shorter than the other. :rolleyes:

Could I join please. We have about 2 takeaways per month which is a lot less then it used to be but I'd like to give them up for a while as I need to lose weight and financially it is so much better to cook for yourself.

I usually eat at McDs once, sometimes twice (or more) a week as we get a discount. But money's going to be tight this month, so no more! I'll join this challenge! Might even lose some weight!
Keep up the good work everyone. :T
