Right. Today I have already eaten a danish pastry, a Penguin and 2 biscuits. Over the weekend I shoveled in a load of pick 'n' mix and it is TIME TO STOP.

Too much sugar all the time, feel lethargic.

So who wants to join the club?

Sweets (sob), cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc are banned.

Starting from now!

I soooooooo need to join this depressing sounding club... The question is, have I got the willpower ?

oliveoil · 16/08/2005 13:33

If I have the willpower so do you. I am queen of the sweet tooth.

Sign up you wimp.

I would but surviving on jam and homemade bread, and herbal teas sweetend with sugar would make life a little difficult

ninah · 16/08/2005 13:35

I would love to but am pregnant and hence already doomed

NomDePlume · 16/08/2005 13:37

So far today i have had 2 packets of crisps, one as God intended (uot of the packet) and one in sandwich form (although on multigrain bread so not all bad) and 1 penguin bar. I am SO bad. I need to lose a stone and I'm sure my sugar intake is giving me increased headaches, as a migraine sufferer already this is NOT good.

oliveoil · 16/08/2005 13:37

Ninah - absolved. grrrrrr
QOQ - join up. And stop putting sugar in your tea!

QueenOfQuotes · 16/08/2005 13:38

QOQ - I can't join up - I'm serious when I say that Jam and Bread is for lunch/snacks and the only drinks are herbal teas (which taste awful without sugar!)

ninah · 16/08/2005 13:38

if you are still going in Jan i promise I will join
I SOOO need to do this

oliveoil · 16/08/2005 13:39

I have to have something sweet after a meal. I have just had a couscous salad and am slobbering over the office tuck box thing in the corner. RESTRAINT!

ninah · 16/08/2005 13:44

nbg if you can stop at one mcvities you have potential for great things in this club! tho the rest is disgraceful lol
We have a box of sweets in the office and I constantly have sugar hangovers all my teeth are bound to fall out soon

QueenOfQuotes · 16/08/2005 13:45

oi OO - you can force me if you give me £20 so I can go and buy some food to eat

NomDePlume · 16/08/2005 13:45

but healthy food is soooooooooooo bland. I like all the bad things, lashings of sugar & salt.

Milge · 16/08/2005 13:47

I would do, but i have just made some strawberry jam! So, i fear, it would be hypocritical if i avowed sugar from now on...

Gillian76 · 16/08/2005 13:48

And fat, ndp! The ultimate conbination... fat, sugar and salt!

I have absolutly no will power what so ever.

In our sweetie cupboard we have half a 400g bar of dairy milk, a 12 pack of them horrid nestle eggs, a jamaica cake and a golden syrup cake so it's very very hard you understand.

And the reason I only had 1 biscuit was because it was the last one

Lucycat · 16/08/2005 13:49

If I go into my garden now I can smell the Jaffa Cakes cooking at McVities just down the road(ish) It's terrible if the winds blowing in this direction - just makes me want to scoff

ninah · 16/08/2005 13:50

haha nbg, understand now!

NomDePlume · 16/08/2005 13:51

My (now deceased) Gran used to work at McV's in Mcr, Lucycat. My Auntie still lives near you in Levenshulme, Broom Lane (Wheatsheaf pub on the corner),

oliveoil · 16/08/2005 13:52

Pah! Excuses excuses.

I am determined.

Sob at my club having only 1 member.

Nbg · 16/08/2005 13:53

So what do we do, check in every day and fess up what we have or haven't had?

What are the consequences of scoffing a choccie bar???

Lucycat · 16/08/2005 13:54

Ah the wind's blowing towards the Heatons today! - MUCH nicer than the smell of hops from Robinsons brewery - bleurgh - although that doesn't make you want to eat ALL the dd's 'wild & whippy' bars

oliveoil · 16/08/2005 13:54

Report in every day with success stories. Failure will get a hard stare and disapproval from your peers.
