The devil we love - what's your poison?

[phatmomma]

Well i faced the devil himself today in the staff kitchen at work, let me tell you about it...

Well it was around 10am and i thought i'd go grab a cuppa (seeing as my colleague never had one waiting for me at 8.45 when i got into work - selfish mare lol, not really she is lovely). I went into the staff room all safe n serene and unawares - it was as i was putting the water in my drink that i smelt it!

Lovely wholemeal seeded bread in the toaster, a slight hint of burning permeating the air!! Flipping domestics were making their brekky........ Ouch, it smelt divine. I wasn't hungry and grabbed the drinks and headed back to my office...... That smell has been in my head all day - my colleague (who is lovely really) offered me some of her fresh bread she'd just fetched from Greggs. Although not hungry i could have eaten a slice no problem. However i beat that old demon around the back of the head and refused. The old phatmomma would have had the toast, so maybe i am learning as i travel this route!

If i can do it so can you lovely lot. You sometimes have to dig deep and realise it's your nose and your head that wants something, and not hunger striking!

May the force be strong in you Jedi WLS peeps xxx

I occasionally have ½ a slice of toast with loads of low fat spread on it, it's really yummy and satisfies my craving mmmmmm

My downfall is pastry... particularly sausage rolls!

My next downfall is my homemade Desperate Dan meat and potato pie... big enough for an army.

My other main downfall is I love chocolate, particularly Cadburys...

But I am looking forward to better health and although I'll never say never... it won't be in the large quantities that I have eaten in the past!

[gaelic girl]

Anything that is solid sickly chocolate is my major downfall but i'm glad to say i haven't even attempted it post op x

[phatmomma]

Oh i wasn't that saintly, if i'd been hungry i would have had half a slice, maybe a whole one even.....

My point is it's so easy to give into the old ways when you like something! Just because there was room in there for it, there was no need for me to have it cos it smelled good... Gosh i feel so saintly now Someone get the Mr Sheen and polish my halo!!! Perlease lol x
