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. shimmy shimmy 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).cheering

Even better, the Terrible Twins shimmy shimmy 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.devil 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.conversing

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 ... dunno but hey, CS is an essential factor. You in?

I've never been a great sweet eater but since this house selling and buying I keep forgetting to eat too so I've put some chocolate bars in the fridge for the first time ever.

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.

Choccy is my religeon lol
Hi Vivianlee, that is great. Well done!cheering
ALWAYS time for a chocolate break, hehe! Quickest pick-me-up in the world. Rain, and don't tire yourself out, take your time. (I know. Easy to say. Not so easy to do, when the thing you need urgently is in one of that pile of boxes ...)
Bea, I Owe It All To CS rolling on the floor laughing


And Love - where's the fun in that? scold
Haha I miss the Two Ronnies. And Morecambe & Wise. Those Christmas specials ... rolling on the floor laughing
Remember Four Candles (2 Ronnies, classic!!) ? rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Viv,
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.laugh

grin hug wave
Swopping bank details is an absolute must, I agree. See my private message with all the necessary details. So, our plan of campaign ... Cat? You still there, hon? rolling on the floor laughing
Love, some of the new lot aren't bad, Michael MacIntyre for eg. I do enjoy HIGNFY and Mock The Week but yup, different sort of humour now! Some of the international guys (Russell Peters, Trevor Noah) can be brilliant.
meant Robertson's GOLLY's lol
Viv
I'm waiting... very impatient but waiting... Now when is that confounded info gonna come!!!frustrated
laugh rolling on the floor laughing
KN, yup, way better. I own a bulldog who weighs 40 lbs and thinks she's a lapdog. 40 lbs bouncing onto your lap (complete with stubby claws, of course) is a fair chunk.

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. rolling on the floor laughing it works, but it ain't a pretty sight.
Now Cat scold I had to test you. I'm a little sorrowful that you've already managed to establish the info I sent you was fake sigh

You first. Then I'll send the real account number. (The sort code was real, okay? I'm not a total liar
Well done, you must feel very proud of yourself and best of all you did it for you...keep up the good work.
Oh and thanks for your comments in my previous blog, you have restored some faith!
Viv, I know I am late.. roll eyes but better late than never so they say conversing

Just wanted to say WHAT a GREAT blog! Both in the fun way you wrote it typing But also for achieving such a GREAT goal! yay yay yay

Only sad thing is I think I must have been walking behind you picking it up blues moping ... BUT! I am now on the healthy eating journey so hope to be joining you with about a 55lb loss in the near future. grin
As one gets older one realises time is short in which to save the population from the dreaded chocolate bar doh I do my best to reduce the supply but every time I visit the supermarket there is more of the stuff on the shelves sigh help
Zman,

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! Sheeshdoh What's a person to do when confronted with such temptation?laugh
Thanks, Pasha, keep the faith. peace
Wallops, frustrated you have to have a wedding to go to. And a double threat at said wedding. Then you have to flirtandflirtandflirtandflirt. Healthy eating plans are BORING rolling on the floor laughing
Z and Jim, no problem. Buy the chocolate. That takes it out of circulation.

Put it in the pantry.

Get into such engrossing conversations you forget to get it out the pantry.

Simples. cool (Oh and for the record I hate those Russian meerkat ads. Why did I quote it? frustrated )
Viv,lifes pressures are eating you alive......relax and think chocolate bon-bons......grin
Hmmm, doesn't quite work that way, was going to comment on this blog last but couldn't due to sticky fingers, chocolate melts quickly here in summer professor laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
