Thanks Liz and good luck for tomorrow

One of the things I do have in my favour with dieting is that I am a very slow eater which means I end up eating smaller portions.

Well done! I’m trying to eat more slowly. Putting down my knife and fork in between mouthfuls etc. Weigh-day tomorrow for me. I’m not hopeful …

My weight was yo-yoing for ages which is why I decided to make a concerted effort to stop the effect.

Finding low calorie filling food is a good thing if you have a large appetite, it will help on the downward trend.

Thanks Claudia I was hoping they might have some sorbets which are always good when you are on a diet. I know they do them sometimes, but not on this occasion, it was probably for the best.

That 0.2 made me smile when I saw it, I am not sure how it got there! I decided it was close enough and that life was far to short to try and sort it out

Hopefully I won’t look like an anorexic model because that might mean I would have to have a brain transplant to go with the look!!!

Well done you. I am trying to be inspired by your attempts but I’m afraid my weight is yoyo-ing rather than following a downward course.
I think you have a good point about eating slowly. I eat far too fast and have a large appetite.
It’s also true about the stress, when I split from my husband 3 years ago, I went from 9st 7lbs to 8st 10lbs in about 8 weeks!

I used to lose weight when I was stressed now I tend to comfort eat instead, which is not so good.

They do still have those sweets but I haven’t had any for a while. I used to enjoy the liquorice ones.

I am religiously writing everything down otherwise I would go astray.

Believe me that was the best of the options LOL They also had Belly Pork with various trimmings which would be not quite the thing at all!! At least I could leave some of the stuffing as the flavour had infused through the chicken anyway

Thanks Ginnie Thankfully I am a naturally slow eater which is perhaps why I have a smaller appetite than most people.

Congratulations! Yes, it’s a bit hard to combine a social life and diet plan. But good friends will not put temptation in front of you. And skipping dessert is the best option. “Refresh and pay. And carry on.”
