You and Tynks and all the cats and goldfish too are very welcome, but beware the crabs. (Lol, thank you FlowerArranger ]grin] ) It's only a small one bed flat so we might need to extend...
Hi Bibidy nice to meet you. I suppose I'm lucky in that I live alone (Mum lives next door though!) and don't have anyone to tempt me with cooking or goodies. I don't know if I could pass up on too much chocolate being offered. I did have a moment a while ago where I did actually pass up on something sweet (I have a mega sweet tooth too, savoury I can take or leave.) and I felt like the Elve queen in Lord of The Rings where she resists and overcomes the power of the ring.

How was yoga @73kittycat73 ?

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 30/06/2021 21:08

Not too bad thank you. Back hurts a bit. I thought this week was going to be hard but it wasn't too bad at all in the end. On Wednesdays I do yoga with the same teacher as Monday, same place too, but Mondays is a regular class and Wednesdays started out as a basic instructions course. Next week the instructor said we are going to put all we have learned together, with not much instruction and just do it. Shock

I think doing some exercise probably helps with the bad eating .. I'm really going to try going for a swim tomorrow and have a day of better eating 🤞🏻

73kittycat73 · 30/06/2021 21:18

Good luck with the swim and a healthy eating day tomorrow. Any plans for what you might eat?
I'm helping my mum sort the shed out tomorrow. She has four big trunks of Christmas decorations in there and we are going to sort them out. Which ones to keep and which ones for charity shop.

66babe · 30/06/2021 21:35

Fridge looking quite poor
Unopened mushrooms asparagus carrot and onion
Might just do an omelette? Not my favourite thing but be free easy and won't waste what I've already got ?
Quite like some SW chips .. that'll be nice actually .. omelette and chips for tea !

73kittycat73 · 30/06/2021 22:08

Sounds delsih. I have SW chips in my freezer too. Grin Omelette sounds nice.

As nobody has done so yet I have come on to recommend the book 'why we eat - too much' by Andrew jenkinson.

He explains how the body has its own weight under control. It is aiming for a particular weight for you ('weight set point') and in the long term you can't win by fighting it, you have to convince your body to change its target.

He also shows persuasively how dieting makes you fatter over time.

So it's not your fault.

(I sound like a salesperson don't I! I'm not, I just found the book very helpful and informative).

There are also a few threads on here with people following the new way of eating he explains (NOT a diet).

66babe · 30/06/2021 22:23

I've heard of this book before but never looked into it
Think that's the plan for tomorrow night .. thank you for that

This is great, some of your posts have really made me laugh, please can i join? This is my second day of healthy eating. Trying to stick to 1500 calories a day, reduce carbs and sugar and drink more water. I'm a sugar addict!

66babe · 01/07/2021 08:19

Welcome @Joe50
I hear it is more difficult to withdraw from sugar than it is from cocaine
I was planning a swim this morning but I'm currently sat up in bed watching GMB with coffee and a Twirl
I blame @ChinnyMcChinnerson

Hi Joe50, hi ChinnyMcChinnerson. Smile
Isn't pay back a bitch...I shall explain. I had a binge last night. Blush It started yesterday afternoon, felt bad, had a blood sugar (BS) crash. Ate two squares of 70% dark mint chocolate and felt a bit better. Started to feel a bit dodgy again later on so took my BS and it was 3.2, it should be in the fives. So I had 4 pieces of mini chocolate. Came back from yoga and I'd dropped to 2.9. Again tried some chocolate. Felt a bit better. Could hear the call of the chocolate and went for it, ate loads. Found a mini ice cream and small tub of ice cream in the freezer and ate them. More chocolate.
Have been awake since 6am ish and (Warning TMI!) have been in and out the loo. Payback is a bitch.

66babe · 01/07/2021 08:39

Is this the right thread for you ? Are they chocolate coated ? 🤣
Are they full of sugar .. if not maybe better to having them than hoovering up cream eggs when is Easter coming
