It is basically just that isn't it - water and salt. Which I'm fine about.

I am so hungry I may start to gnaw at my own arm.

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 09/03/2010 21:40

have a sicilian lemon truffle.

moodlum · 09/03/2010 21:50

Is that the only one left?

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 09/03/2010 21:53

too late.

moodlum · 09/03/2010 22:04

always the last to go those ones. Should have left it for your DH, to really emphasise your point.

cyb · 09/03/2010 22:18

I told you you should ahve hidden them down the side of the house

I'm patting myself on the top of the head as I have resisted 9pm munchies 'cuppa tea? ooh yes. And a little treat? ooh yes'

And in the words of Scarlett O Hara (21"waist) 'tomorrow....is another day...'

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 09/03/2010 22:20

where is the side of the house? isn't that outside?

i was kidding, though, about eating them all. i've had five of them. they're sickening, tbh.

cyb · 09/03/2010 22:22

down the side of my house means me battling with a stiff side gate and a wheely bin. By the time you've wrestled with them a praline truffle is the last thing on your mind

champagnesupernova · 09/03/2010 22:53

ah but Scarlett also said
I just gotta get down to 17 and a half
I jus won't have any more babies. That's all.

cyb · 10/03/2010 08:06

Am supping black coffee

urk

HumphreyCobbler · 10/03/2010 09:01

I have lost another pound.

I am drinking green tea.

moodlum · 10/03/2010 09:31

Splashed out this morning - had 50, yes 50g of bran flakes. Rock and fecking roll. I'll pay for it later, but I was so hungry.

Black coffee, black tea, green tea and redbush. Bleugh. But I do feel a bit thinner, if that counts?

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 10/03/2010 09:53

see this breakfast thing? i am sure that eating breakfast makes me hungrier... but everything i read says that this is not so. explain, please, weirdy diet ladies.

noddyholder · 10/03/2010 09:55

Breakfast cereal is carb tastic!And sets you up on an insulin rush for the day so everything you eat after it is burnt off v slowly.Eggs for bfast is v succesful at shifting pounds on their own no toast maybe a slice of bacn.This alone drops weight even if the rest of your diet is unchanged.large cups of tea with half a sugar and a handful of nuts at about 4 is a lifesaver ime and means you don't overeat later.M and S no sugar sweets sort the bowel situation out but don't eat too many or you will be farting for england!

Chandon · 10/03/2010 10:16

Help. My problem is not the Pringles or the milky ways. I am not a binger or junkfood addict.

I can stick to a diet, lower my carb intake, have a snack of a cup of tea and a piece of fruit. Cut out booze, choc etc.

BUT

If I don´t eat BIG MEALS (including potatoes or pasta or rice, big piece of fish/meat, loadsa veg), I end up waking up at 2 am and starving, unable to get back to sleep with a cramping tummy.

I then go down stairs and eat a banana, glass of milk, a digestive (or 2). I don´t even WANT to eat then, but my hunger pangs can keep me awake for hours (I ignore the pangs for 1 or 2 hours until I get cranky).

Anyone else have this problem?

ZZMum · 10/03/2010 11:31

can you eat a small piece of protein before you got to bed? might give you stomach something to do!

OrmRenewed · 10/03/2010 13:04

Aha! Waist now out of heffalump zone. Back to 30". Need to shed another 2 and I'll be back to normal. Hurrah!

SuSylvester · 10/03/2010 15:57

cyb · 10/03/2010 17:14

Su I had one tiny cube of cake, I mean CUBE. I will lash myself with a thorned twig later

Other thanthat, good as gold

moodlum · 10/03/2010 18:38

I'll join you in the lashing cyb. I had a slice of hot cross bun loaf. Warm and squidgy from the oven. The guilt felt like I'd run over a small animal, but I've been good apart from that.

I think I am going to have to have a small (whatever that means) glass of white wine tonight. Its been a tricksome day.

SuSylvester · 10/03/2010 18:55

moodlum

grr

noddyholder · 10/03/2010 19:03

I am in the doghose dp ordered pizza delivery and i caved in!

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 10/03/2010 19:20

Squeaky clean here - not even snacks. And 1.5 hours of Davina. Think I'll lash myself anyway or pop into S & B for views on a hair shirt.

moodlum · 10/03/2010 19:21

but I am losing. I have only just started and I have lost two lb.

Sorry coach . I might forgo the wine.
