Don't. Just don't, OK?

jaffa cakes

biscuit/alien from outer space

you decide

Rich tea with butter on, yummyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

My SIL bought me posh Duchy Originals ginger biscuits yesterday, cause she feels sorry for me cause the baby WON'T COME OUT.

Isn't she lovely? I love my inlaws.

No, no no Foxes crunch creams or Ringtons Extra special double chocolate cookies.

anything with less than 1.5g of fat per biscuit these days. which very fortunately includes jaffa cakes

My brother brought me some lovely biscuits from Canada. Very thin, shaped like maple leaves, with maple syrup flavoured gunge sticking them together. They were the best biscuits I had ever tasted. Except a Bath Oliver with stilton. But that's not really a biscuit.

Biscuits = hydrogenated vegetable oil = hardened arteries and getting fat.

A sweet gherkin?? What fresh hell is this?

biscuits = palm oil = death to orangutans

moon landings - faked. Who took the pics of the first step on the moon? A fairy?

Cheese over biscuits any day here. Although I do quite like biscuits, cheese rools. Cheese on biscuits is pretty good, especially if it also involves quince jelly. Or, in the case of Brie, blackcurrant jam. That works very well.

I am, and have always been, slim. I don't exercise more than anyone else, I don't eat less than lots of people I know. I used to think it was because I smoked, but then I gave up and stayed slim. The only reason I can think of is that I never eat biscuits and all the women I have ever worked with, particularly nurses and teachers, I don't know why, seem to obsess about biscuits. 'OOh, I am naughty...Oooh, which one shall I have?'

A non-biscuit eater is quite socially excluded. Biscuits must be the answer. Are they really so nice that you have to eat them every tea break? Is it really that difficult to just not eat, or think about biscuits? I have a friend who comes to my house armed with her own biscuits and she thinks we are really funny because we never have any in the house.

(I keep little packets of 3 biscuits in now, as I have realised that not having an interest in biscuits is socially unacceptable. I get them free when I buy a coffee in the pub).

Biscuits aren't even nice.

Kitkats. boxes of them. WAREHOUSES FULL of kitkats. 'drool'

Don't talk to me about the moon landings. My mum went into labour with me about half an hour before they were due to show footage on the TV and my dad has never let me forget it (especially as I - apparently - went to sleep and wasn't born until 2 days later). If they were fake I'll sue!!!

bisuits = butter, sugar & flour - won't somebody please think of the poor innocent wheat?

moon landings....before my time. it proved it wasn't made of marshmallow though.

'scuse me asking antioxidant, but how old are you? As in, more or less than 35? Because I was like you before I was 35 and then after 35 it all started to go a bit wrong, despite not eating many biscuits. Seems like my general body mass started an internal shift from having enough fuel-burning tissue to keep the weight off, to not having enough fuel-burning tissue, which led to a rapid increase in non-fuel-burning tissue and a concomitant decline in said fuel-burning tissue - a vicious cycle which has left me a good stone heavier than wot I ort to be.

Sooo true thumbwitch. I have younger friends who are convinced it won't happen to them. Mwah-hah-hah-ha

41. I won't mind getting a bit tubby because fat women are very unkind to thin women. A typical conversation is' 'Oooh, Jemima is so skinny. Pause. Bitch.'

Kitkats are not biscuits. I can wolf kitkats, chocolate, ice-cream and nuts.

moon landing footage/pics= faked, flag flying (impossible no atmosphere, etc)
moon landing= real, but too many evil aliens to take genuine footage
moon= not cheese, artifical hollow satellite, which does not rotate so the earth only ever sees one side of it-fact

jaffa cake= cake

"interesting" fact about jaffa cakes - on teh continent, they used to be made with additives to stop the cakey bit going crunchy (i.e. staying as a cake and thus avoiding the whole biscuit/cake dilemma). They tried to introduce it in the UK and there was general uproar (in a quiet sort of way) as we like the crunchy aspect of jaffa cakes. So they leave the non-crunchy additives out of UK jaffa cakes.

Mind you, my info is quite old now as I learnt this in my degree some years ago...

oooh morloth i wondered how you were doing!
personally, i think eating as many biscuits as possible is quite right in your situation. your stomach will become so heavy the baby will be forced down and out.
might give it a biscuit intolerance in later life.

crumpette: i agree with everything except that the moon is cheese. have you not SEEN Wallace and Gromit?
proof.

antioxidant:
i get called a bitch about every bit of my appearance because im apparently sooooo skinny. i cant complain about my feet being excessively wide because im so skinny otherwise. i just happen to be a secretly smug in proportion size 12.
with a biscuit belly.

Sainsburys triple chocolate Taste The Difference cookie belly to be exact.

Britfish is a bitch and I hate her. Smug cow.

I suppose I would be unpopular if I went on a diet thread and said just don't eat the biscuts but it is that simple.

I absolutely love stuffing my face.

I don't know much about the science but could it be the hvo that is the problem with obesity in this country?

When pregnant I sort of found out what it is like to be fat, having to haul myself out of chairs, etc. It is absolutely exhausting. It's not surprising that fat people are too tired to exercise. I cannot imagine hauling that amount of weight around for more than a few weeks.

I do feel very sorry for fat people but please remember that slim people have feelings too.

You have got to try Marks&Spencer baked in store large double chocolate cookies

[ohmygodamazing]

so nice.

did you know... there is a body on the moon of a man wearing jeans, presumably dumped there after an alien abduction went wrong

fact

and kitkats are not biscuits, they are made of goji berries

fact

a colleague of mine used to have a yoghurt and an apple to "counteract" the calories in the kitkat and danish pastry that she inhaled in her tea break - she was pretty overweight.

thumbwitch- was I your colleague? I firmly believe that an apple/grapes/blueberries can negate all the chocolate biscuits in the world, meaning you have in fact eaten nothing at all
