I do weigh myself & would probably benefit from a weekly reality check. It would encourage me to get outside more, make and eat salads, etc. I'm the lone voice on healthy eating in this house.
Blackduck, you could use the Trousers of Truth method. Looser or tighter?
I got a print-out of everything DD bought from the school canteen in a week. On a typical day she has a baked cookie, sausage roll, a cake and/or chocolate croissant, and a bottle of spring water, (though they have a water cooler). She sometime adds a savoury pastry (chicken), a muffin or some crisps. Then she buys chocolate on the way home. So mostly empty calories of low nutritional value.
We cook and serve a healthy evening meal but she hardly eats any of it. Want her to learn to like a balanced diet, without spoiling our convivial meal times or having a fight. Tricky especially with Mum sticking her oar in.
Blackduck, hope you'll feed me some tidbits of cliquey conversations at choir, they can be priceless. If there hasn't been any adultery yet, there must be some about due.
And Windy, don't some of the ex-professional singers condescend to the amateurs in novel-worthy ways? One told me, at a recent workshop, that 'amateurs practise till they get it right, professionals practise till they can't get it wrong'. Very true, but she then went on to get her solo wrong (I smiled quietly to myself)
