OK - someone better make something clear to me.
This thread on "should we mention food or not?".......is that for the WHOLE forum or just a sub forum within that?
Because, I think that if we are 'banned' from mentioning anything about food in any of the threads or sub forums i will take my PC keyboard and head for the hills.
In my mind not talking about food is trying to deny it's very existence. It's there every day and unless we live the life of a hermit we cannot avoid it...or is that the whole point of this forum and this is one place where food is not mentioned and should be our 'fortress of solitude'?
I agree with some of the comments made here - listening to someone who lost 10lbs last week and still had a three course meal would really upset me, but there again I have friends who can eat like horses and not put weight on....I only have to look at a chip and thats another pound on!
Sometimes we have to accept, as far as the calorific burn we each have, that its not a fair world and all of us, like it or not, have to face up to that fact and play the best game we can with the cards we have.
I would like to think that we come here to get support, to read how people, when faced with temptation managed to resist, and share that fact, both for a pat on the back (which we all deserve for putting ourselves through this) and so that some of us may learn.
....ok that's my tenpennorth....let me know if I have to get my coat......
