When You’Ve Eaten Chilli Con Carni With Rice Then Breadsticks With Dips, Now Celebrateions

[Bobbisox1]

And think Why?
The diet starts in earnest Jan 1st before I touch size 16, got a holiday in March to go to

[ummmm]

Why? Why eat so much you need to go on a diet?

That is not a criticism by the way.

[Bobbisox1]

Never took it as one, I may not have to diet , I hope I don’t but also do not want shorts etc to feel tight on me , I generally don’t pig out but tonight , I did :0)

[Tilly2]

Bobbi, I couldn't eat all that in one go. I'd stop after the chilli. However, I too need to lose a few pounds to feel more comfortable with myself. No way will I start a diet in January though. I don't actually diet, I just up the activity and watch what I'm eating.

[Cloverjo]

The trouble with setting a date for a diet is that you feel a need to stuff beforehand.

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, Clover, I think you’ve nailed it there
Tilly, it was a small chilli portion :0/ and only dipped the garlic and onion one a few times, had two sweeties thenclosed the lid on them

[Tilly2]

Well, you hardly stuffed your face then, Bobbi.

Keep that lid on the Celebrations. They're the naughty ones.

[Bobbisox1]

Just eaten more than I’d normally eat , I’m blaming Christmas , the tree, the ambience thing , yep that’s what it is ;0)

[Old_Geezer]

The diet's permanent. It just gets ignored at certain times.
(Meal times usually.)

[Bobbisox1]

Like Christmas ?

[ummmm]

I was amazed at how much weight my mum lost after giving up sugar. She wasn't big to start with.

[ummmm]

She also doesn't drink and never has so that would help.

[Bobbisox1]

I don’t take sugar but sweets at Christmas is my Achilles heel

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, Christmas is the main occasion, but one still tries not to go hog wild. What goes on is eventually destined to come off; but it likes to struggle.

[pastafreak]

It's just once Bobbi, don't beat yourself up over it. Just be mindful of what you eat...and enjoy it.

[Bobbisox1]

I don’t really have trouble staying at a 14 ,probably mind over matter right now O_G

[Theland]

Ive given up alcohol, about six weeks now.
Just have a few zero alcohol cans now and again.
Don't know if it will help my weight, but who knows?
I'm probably referred to at the shops, as, "The old fat guy on the scooter."
Maybe become famous, a celebrity even :-)

[Bobbisox1]

Arh thanks Pasta,you’re right,anyway I’d end up with a migraine if I quaffed the chocs lol

[Bobbisox1]

Well done TheLand

[ummmm]

You should lose weight, Theland, lager contains quite a lot of calories.

[Theland]

Ummm yes I know. I only eat one balanced meal a day and hardly snack.
Trouble is lack of exercise, breathing problems prevent it. But you are right.
