The LIGHTer way to enjoy chocolate...........

[Mouseface]

....... is not to eat any!!!!!

Welcome to thread number four. It's a thread with healthy eating, losing weight or maintaining weight loss in mind.

Also, just chattng about life, love and laundry really!!

I'm Mouse. Cheese is my weakness, I know, I know, hard to believe!

I have several a few pounds to lose.

SAF - yay! How do you feel about it? Do you want to go?

I have quit aspartame. I didn't realise just how much of it was about and I've been nailing the Diet Coke since quiting the booze.

I've gained 6lbs, had PMT far worse than before, a headache each day, felt shaky, sick and had shocking bouts of blurred/wobbly vision.

I thought my contacts were in the wrong eyes but they're not.

Then I remembered that thread about it. Aspartame. And someone on here quiting it too, think it was Wasting.

Anyway, I've just looked at what it's used for and how bad it is.

Christ. It's in almost everything I eat due to the fact I eat sugar free, low sugar stuff. It's even in 'lite' sugar!

Let's see if my headaches go. I thought it was just DTs but it would appear to be more.

Sorry, as you were.

sAf - why not do coffee? You should go. Just an hour. 30 minutes. You know you need to get out more and do things (your words). Why not just try?

One of us could text you half way through to see if you need a get out clause!

Double - DD NEVER has fizzy drinks. Her choice.

She has water, milk or tea. Bless her.

We don't do aspartame.. I make a fizzy drink from natural cordial and soda water.

Sounds like a plan SaF.. I can't even begin to imagine going on a date.... The thought terrifies me. DS goes ape if men look at me.

We haver the black and rainy thing here. Stair-rodding it is..

Sorry Double that your plans have fallen through...

There's a photo on FB of you wearing a blue stripey top.. you look lovely in that photo. What are you most comfortable in? It doesn't matter if it is jeans.. a touch of make up and sun glasses holding hair back have casual style. Long skirt with a vest top?

You are doing it to open a new door. You don't have to go through it, but at least have a peek at the view. Either you will like it and choose to step into whatever it holds, or close it and move on. The choice is always yours.

double sounds like my baking efforts!

saf - go for it, in a low key way. both in terms of emotions and clothes!

bloody hell saf its not my dp is it? bloody shit

definitely go on the date,, look i did and i ended up with mole! oh, yes, not sure thats an incentive actually.

double - where's the neigbour these days??

where's bitter? not shagging again is she?

Evening. How are we all?

DS bathed. DD and her bf are putting make-up on so I've given them sold of my older stuff to use. BUT, I put fresh towels out this morning! Doh!! Baby wipes for removal then!!

SAF - you are so pretty, I know, no compliments but you are. So there. I'm with the lovely Mittz on this. How wonderfully put too! You are a very graceful wordsmith Mittz.

Where is Bitter? Maybe having dinner after working today?

Fluffs - when are you having your hair chopped al la Bitter?

Double - I need some hardcore for the new foundations for the office!

Hello TC.

I'm pooped. The sun is out here and it's breezy. The trees are all swishy and light.

'some' of my older stuff. MrM was talking to me as I typed.

Pha.

Excellent!!!

I LOVE fudge. Can you make it Double? I'm so

Oh to have homemade fudge........ heaven.

Evening all. Couldn't get away from work - nightmare!

Saf, WooHoo for meeting amusing men!

Erm, I have read the thread, but can't remember beyond baking concrete. Braintired.

Still not 100% but my boss did make a point of thanking me for coming in when I was obviously not well. As I looked like shit. I Think that's a compliment
