Why Be Normal?
Hi Again Ladies --
I am a seriously addicted Chocoholic and I also love nuts -- esp. cashews. My friend in Hawaii sent me Macadamia nuts for Christmas. I know she thinks she was being thoughtful... but the one thing I no longer do is give people food or sweets --that is if I know they have been trying to lose weight or need to.
About 3 years ago I did South Beach for several weeks and lost about 2 stone (of 4 I needed to lose). Then, someone (who knew I was on the diet and had lost 3 stone on it herself) gave me a box of Cadbury Roses for my birthday. I should have given it away -- but I put it in the cupboard thinking I'll use this on Halloween (my birthday is 10 days before Halloween)... well, I had a fight with my teenage son, got stressed, ate almost the whole box in one night (was very ill), and then though blew it and quit the diet. It was 2 years and 2 plus stone back on before I did LL and took off 5. This time I am losing 2 and going to learn how to maintain.
I think giving someone on a diet treats is just as bad as giving a person with a drinking problem a bottle of wine or whatever it is that they drink.
Tomorrow when my DD and DH are out of the house -- I am going to do a clear out and get rid of most of the junk. They might be slim (well, DH could lose a couple of stone) but neither one of them needs to eat rubbish.
