Hi, everyone
Thank you for your kind answers - they are very encouraging. I am sure it must have been the carbs that did the damage - Thornton's chocolates, Turkish Delight, Christmas cake - I won't go on.
The odd thing is that until I weighed myself this morning, I felt fat, frumpy, negative and rather 'down'. I wouldn't even wear the new dress I'd bought for New Year.
Now I fee ljust great (but I'd look a bit stupid going to the shops in an evening dress).
Have a big sirloin steak ready to cook this evening - no carbs but lots of chilli and garlic. PLEASE don't tell me it's unhealthy.
