hello @Former-Member @Shaz51 @soul
was just feeling very miserable and selfabsorbed. also have failed abysmally with self care regime.
then i read your post darcy, an instant smile
@soul lindt coconut and dark choc on a clearance sale at supermarket, got a pack which we plan to share with friends so will limit myself to one, will see how they match up with coconut Rafaello, which I rate highly in the chocolate stakes.
Darcy
love it, love you and mr darcy
soul, darcy has been paying attention
shaz very healthy - you will starve - what are you having for dinner?
moment of truth: last night binged on dark chocolate with roast almonds am too embarrassed to say how much - i think they refer to it as self medicating.
also had chocolate tim tam at hairdressers... didnt even ask for that... how could i refuse would be an insult
today.... dry allbran with nuts for breakfast...banana sandwich on high fibre bread..dinner steak with vegetables... zucchini, carrot, broccoli...supper.. suffering

@Former-Member - Lindt coconut and dark chocolate - mmmm - like Bounty but better and I'm sure healthier. Just have to watch those Lindt balls in the warmer weather; otherwise they turn into chocolate sauce.

@Former-Member - never mind. Dinner sounds healthy. Keep that going into next week so you can have a treat or two over Easter.
