I am obsessed, I cannot get enough of cookery shows and looking at recipes, but it doesn't make me want to go off plan at all.

Totally agree! I am loving the bake off right now -Just by teasing my tastebuds I feel like I've eaten without coming off plan...weird but great!

I do this. I also find myself googling restaurants and looking at their menus. Why do we do it to ourselves?!

I do this a lot! It's as if I have substituted eating food with watching food programs:

Man V Food (+nation)
Diners, Drive Ins and Dives
You Gotta Eat Here
British Bake Off
Ace of Cakes
....
....

The list goes on and on.....

Cooking shows aren't helping today but making things worse. I watched Paul Hollywoods Show on making breads and it's made me really want to bake but the problem is here isn't really anything I am allowed to bake on SS+ :-(

Have you got anyone else you could bake for? Maybe bake some bread and take it round to a neighbour?

Yeah....we have been debating baking for our flat mates...not sure if I am capable of baking and not eating the food though...especially bread that I have never made before...

I've only started today but I can't imagine choosing to watch or look at yummy food! I have avoided ********* and ********* because I think it would be too much temptation! Maybe once I've been on it a couple of weeks it will be easier :-/

I do this. My husband said its a way to enjoy food without eating it. Maybe he's right? I just think it's food porn lol x
