Have decided to diet but need help

[pepperpots]

I have come to the conclusion that i need to do something before i risk becoming very unhealthy. After nine years of smoking, i gave up last november and haven't had so much of a sniff of one But apart from that my lifestyle is shocking I eat rubbish, processed foods and a lot of crap while i am sat at the pc what i really need are some good healthy food recipies, that are not boring as dp and two ds's will be eating them too. Please feel free to give any hints or tips, or give me a stern telling off for eating lots of the boys chocolate when there are packs of raisins and dried fruit lying unopened in my cupboard
Thanks for reading this is if you managed to read it all

When i say i eat rubbish i don't mean i go rifling through bins btw

I gave up smoking 5 years ago, put on loads of weight afterwards. It's so easy to do. Will get thinking of recipes...

Don't have chocolate for the boys in the house. For me, that is the only answer. If it is there I eat it. I will even attack the cooking chocolate. For a treat buy your boys a single bar of choc each when passing a shop. OK I realise you may have to wait until after Easter to instigate this new regime. If you are really desperate for a bar of choc walk to the shop to buy it - at least you are burning a few of the calories off that way.
