Just a suggestion..... when having a crisis that results in gorging on a whole cream cake and a bag of chocolate. Why not have a treat on hold such as an aroma therapy massage or a spa treatment? You'll come away feeling good not guilty and won't have ruined a lot of work and effort, you'll perhaps have spent a little more but surely the result would be worth it?

Hi

Yes Rob, you are completely right. I do go off the rails now and again especially if i have had a very stressful time in work. I have just joined a gym and I do enjoy some me time in the jacuzzi and steam room. I have never thought of booking a massage I will maybe treat myself for a change. I have given other people vouchers but never would have thought of doing that for myself. I go for the quick fix, cream cake with the guilt and disgust afterwards.

I have two weeks in Tenerife coming up, got the tickets this morning, really looking forward to it. Just had a suasage sandwich, one a couple of sin. Two quorn sausages, 1/2 pt each, two slices wholemeal bread (healthy option), some ketchup. Lovely. Nothing to be guilty about. Margaret, the stirfry sounds good might try that this week

Quorn sausages are the best sausages!! I had them for breakfast this morning.. They are loverrrlyyy lol

Id advise anyone to go for a spa treatment as a treat.. Its a great way to relax and unwind.. Why not try a Facial? Theyre one of my fave things to get done !

Well done, now all you have to do is to keep it off.

I've just finished my detox. After 5 1/2 days with no food at all I was allowed one apple for breakfast, it took me half an hour to eat it! I had been soooo looking forward to eating again yet the apple was a big disappointment. Salad for lunch, then a light dinner tonight.

I lost a stone in a week!

Well done Margaret

it must feel so good.

Rob, 5 days without food, your stomach must be the size of an egg cup. Very impressive, do you feel better for it?

[rob]

Not yet but I did get rid of some kidney stones

Sounds painful, everyone I have met with kidney stones have been in a lot of pain especially when they are on the move, ouch.

(Note to self, drink more water.)

At least you will be nice and trim before the Christmas parties. Might try a bit of a detox myself before I come out to Tenerife. The tins of Christmas sweets have already started to appear in work and I have avoided them quite well so far but I did a 24 hour shift yesterday and couldn't resist a couple. Start of the slippery slope, it will be mince pies and cake next. I must get some willpower.

good for you Rob hope you feel better after your detox, I still have a bit more to loose before I start thinking of keeping it off (which I intend to)

Well done Margaret

You need to plan your Christmas so you don't put any weight back on.
Good Luck, I am sure the family will help (no chocolates for presents this year) lol
