Apparently dried fruit is full of fly poo. Best avoided.

Does that help?

Where are you getting them from Enid? If you're buying them then stop, if you work in a mince pie factory then start planning your diet for the new year .

I was so crazy. I got over excited seeing the Duchy of Cornwall mince pies in Waitrose (they sold out last year and I couldn't get any) that I bought 3 boxes. I now only have one and a half boxes left.

I CANT STOP!!!!

Set yourself a Realistic Goal. As in, finish them and don't buy any more?

tammyloveschristmas · 01/12/2004 15:47

Same here. I love them, but i find i cant just eat one.....

EniDeepMidwinter · 01/12/2004 15:50

have eaten: one bowl of porridge, one bite of dd1's croissant

one slice of lentil and cheese quiche (no, it was nice actually) and a big bag of salad and an apple and a miso soup.

Surely I can have just one lickle pie when I get home tonight? Surely?

it's not the mince pies I have a problem with - it's the half a tub of brandy cream that has to go on top that I think maybe the reason my jeans are already starting to feel tight

Make your own with wholemeal, low-fat pastry and sugar-free mincemeat. Not only will they be better for you, but they'll taste so vile you won't want more than one.

motherinfestivemood · 01/12/2004 16:26

Oh go on, Enid, stuff yourself. It's a bit like trying not to drink too much on New Year's Eve - you know you're going to be vilely hungover the next day whatever happens. Eat, drink, and you and I can be on-line supporters in Health and Effiency in the new year which is, my dear, another day.

Also you have to be Positive Role Model for dd1 whom I seem to remember you were trying to fatten up?

foxinsocks · 01/12/2004 16:37

you must have a mince pie enid because you know next time you go to Waitrose the Duchy ones won't be there so you might aswell enjoy them all now. I also tend to think that the whole of December should be written off (for weight loss) - after all, what are January and New Year resolutions for. Besides, no-one notices a few extra inches around the middle when you have a huge big coat covering most of you up.

all of you

rofl!
