Eat anything you like. When you remember ...
Two years ago my daughter announced she was getting married AND that she was inviting not only my ex’s platinum blonde American long-term lady friend, but lady friend’s identical twin sister. Same age as me, but as glossy and immaculate as only Americans can be, and in DUPLICATE. Yikes!Luckily I’d just started the most miserable depressing part-time job ever (trying to help people heading towards bankruptcy to sort their personal finances) and that helped, boy did it help. I worked until 10 pm every night, was too glum to eat and by the wedding had lost a satisfactory 2.5 stone (35 lbs, or 16 kgs).
Even better, the Terrible Twins couldn't make it to the UK and the wedding weekend was huge fun, with the FOTB and the MOTB avoiding the bride’s very disapproving eye to spend lots of catch-up time together. I’d been doing a lot of Zumba (puff puff) to shape up as the weight fell off and the FOTB wasn’t the only one interested. So that was one of several reasons that I joined CS, and I have had a year of talking so much every night that I kept forgetting to eat.
Weighed myself the other day and was a bit taken aback to find my weight loss in two years is now exactly 4 stone. (56 lbs, or 25 kgs). So how do I market this as a weight-loss plan and make my fortune, eh? It may be a bit complicated ... but hey, CS is an essential factor. You in?

One man's meat is another man's poison. That reminds me. It's time for a chocolate break.
I know you're right and I'll try to do better.
And Love - where's the fun in that?
I think we cam make a fortune out of it if you want to trust me. Just sign over over all your rights on the secret and send me your bank card and pin number. I will need it to pay over your part of the profit. Don't worry about your existing finds in the account. It will be safe. I may have to place it in protective custody in secret account.
I'm waiting... very impatient but waiting... Now when is that confounded info gonna come!!!
No, pass on the zumba thing, rid your mind of the thought that I look like one of those toned types in sweatbands and skimpy gear. it works, but it ain't a pretty sight.
You first. Then I'll send the real account number. (The sort code was real, okay? I'm not a total liar
Oh and thanks for your comments in my previous blog, you have restored some faith!
Just wanted to say WHAT a GREAT blog! Both in the fun way you wrote it But also for achieving such a GREAT goal!
Only sad thing is I think I must have been walking behind you picking it up ... BUT! I am now on the healthy eating journey so hope to be joining you with about a 55lb loss in the near future.
I am with you. I went to the store the other day and they had those habit forming Toblerone Chocolate, Crunchy Almond Bars, on sale again! Sheesh What's a person to do when confronted with such temptation?
Put it in the pantry.
Get into such engrossing conversations you forget to get it out the pantry.
Simples. (Oh and for the record I hate those Russian meerkat ads. Why did I quote it? )
