Re: The confessional
Yes, there's the difference. 161g normally little problem. But chocs with different centres...that's where the queasiness comes in. Like mixing your booze.
Can't think of much recent times. Does three jam donuts over 6 or 7 hours count?

Re: The confessional
A couple of innocent ones...
When I was about 14 I belonged to a youth club where as well as the normal YC things, they had various outings during the week and live bands on Saturday nights. My Dad was quite strict and I was allowed to go out twice a week only (and home by 9.00).
All my friends were going on one of the organised trips and I wanted to go as well. My Dad said "No". On said day, I told him I was going to my friends house on the corner, stopping for tea and would be home about 8pm. Meanwhile, I snuck a skirt and some make up into a bag, went to her house and got changed and we both ran to the YC to get on the mini bus and go on the trip.
We had a lovely afternoon and evening but the traffic was heavy and we were late getting back. My friend went into her house and I was standing behind a bush in her front garden, hurriedly removing the make up and changing out of my skirt and back into my jeans (one leg in, hopping to get the other one in) when my Dad walked around the corner, looking for me.
Woops.
A similar thing happened when he told me I couldn't go to the YC one Saturday to see a band play a few months later.. I went to my friends house on the corner, put make up on, got changed and went anyway (I was a rebel, lol). Halfway through the evening my Dad walked onto the dance floor........ and marched me out.

Some time in the 80s (I think) I woke in the middle of the night to a rustling sound. I put the light on and there, on the floor, was a little furry thing. Not a mouse. Probably a hamster.
I tried to capture it but it ran out the door and into the bathroom. Further attempts didn't work and I couldn't face having it running around while I was trying to sleep and maybe the same thing happening repeatedly.
I whacked it. With the lavatory brush. At least it was quick with the stiff bristles.
In those old houses it may have been someone's pet getting under floorboards and up through mine.

Nothing wrong with comfort food if your weak and tired.....however continued indulgence will obviously have its down sides... since being laid off I have had quite the splurge on comfort eating, cheese is my achillies heel.

It's not comfort eating for me, more sitting on my arse for 12+ hours a day at a computer and having to eat at weird times of the day. It's amazing how hungry you can get at 2am, when you've been working for 7 hours! (Cheese is my downfall too).

I dont eat unhealthily, junk food is something I only indulge in occasionly. I like cooking and get really into it and it takes my mind off stuff, but there are always left overs so my portion sizes are big and then there are seconds as it just too good. Its not what I eat, its the quantity.

Me too. 10 years ago I was a size 2.

Re: The confessional
I try to do the gym three times a week, so it would be a lot worse if I didnt do that!

Re: The confessional
Likewise, I eat mostly very healthily, go to the gym 2-3 times a week... it's booze that's the killer for me.

Re: The confessional
Boozing is now restricted to HID's far too infrequent overseas trips, or if I can sneak the odd bottle of red down to the steam room of an evening.
