LOL on the icecream, Wilee - you found my weakness! I love Italian gelato, especially vanilla/almond with cherries mmmm...but really I could force down any flavour 
Unfortunately when it comes to ice cream every day is a YOLO day lol!
My tummy has firmed up today, so will have to work hard not to put on weight. It would probably help if I stopped drinking prosecco....
Here's some pics...the Abruzzo is so diverse - you've got gorgeous beaches one side and the Maiella mountain range and skiing on the other, with very pretty villages and rolling fields with vines and olive groves in between. The food is great, the people are lovely, but it's not at all touristy - highly recommended!

Beautiful photos, Susie, it looks really idyllic - no wonder it felt strange coming back to London. xx

Morning all - glad you like the pics, it is a gorgeous place and has such a varied landscape. The views at night are lovely too, little villages all twinkling away along the mountain ridges.
LOL I had been thinking exactly the same Wile! When I buy my house in the Abruzzo you can come for a YOLO holiday
Stackie - I'm guessing your post above (about the girls) isn't for me? And Poggy - not sure what you mean about a diary hun? Probably just me being dense, I haven't had my coffee yet. Sadly not Italian coffee - we started the day every day with a gorgeous cappuccino and a honey croissant, nice way to ease into the day
However, my food today is yummy too -
B - golden syrup instant oats with a nut/berry mix stirred in
L - home assembled chicken salad
D - spicy tomato tagine (mmm) and miracle noodles
S - bananas, yogurt, picota cherries
Haven't worked out the cals yet but not too high, I would think.
Have a good one and keep out of the heat.

Ahhh I see - yes hun I started off in the Atkins section of Minis four years ago and have made a lot of friends so I keep posting there too
But I do really like it here too - all you lovelies, of course, and more people who are calorie counting and have a longer journey on their weight loss than others, which I find very comforting

LOL Pog snoop to your heart's content love And you'll recognise this because I've just posted it on your thread
Pogmama had mentioned how some Asian people can be brutal about fat, and I wanted to share an awful experience that happened while I was away.
The person I stayed with in Italy is a lady I met online almost a year ago on an Italian ex pat forum, we hit it off and became good friends over the phone but had never met - so a 6 day stay was always going to have potential risks - but I'm pretty easy going and thought we'd be fine.
Welllll it turns out she is a complete fattist - has real issues with fat people - and one night after way too much to drink (she was trolleyed) she was so unbelievably cruel I wanted to pack up and leave right there and then - if we'd been in a town or city, I would have. I even had bruises on my boobs from where she had grabbed them and screamed "Look at this fat, just look at it!" etc.
The next day she said she didn't remember anything - but it's there lurking like a dark nasty beast. I'll stay friends with her but won't ever stay with her again. Some people are funny peculiar eh? Don't worry, I'm not upset by it - it's completely her problem, not mine, and I'm happy on my own cc journey, enjoying food and working towards getting happier

Awww thanks for charging into battle on my behalf hun - I don't like confrontation but to be honest if I'd had a car there or could walk to a hotel, I would have left - but we were stuck in the countryside so I just had to hold my tongue...she's such a forceful character and even kept shouting that I had bulgy eyes and that was a thyroid problem...you WTF?! Anyway I got my own back by constantly filling up her glass (I was much more sober) and she had a very sore head the next day
She sent a quick text yesterday saying sorry she hadn't been in touch and that things were hectic (she's househunting and pretending not to chase a local - married - Italian man) so I think it will all fizzle out, which is preferable to a shouting match. One very good thing did come out of it though - she introduced me to an English woman she has made good friends with, who I also got on really well with and who lives close to where I'm looking for a house, so she will probably become a mate too - and she's a qualified Italian language teacher so I'm going to do skype lessons with her then face to face when I get over there permanently

Yeah me too, hun, it's so all unnecessary - still, I won't have to ever see her when i do move, we will live miles apart
An agent has just sent me a gorgeous house (ignore the colour scheme, think white walls, shabby chic furniture) - what do you think?
Properties for sale in Abruzzo Town property with garden Palombaro Rustic Cottages BPPB30547
It's owned by a French couple who really did a nice job renovating three years ago - new roof, jacuzzi (!), new bathrooms, etc - but they are desperate to sell and are asking the agent to ask for offers, so could even get it for E65K.

So sorry your so called friend did this to you. I think I would have cried. I am very weak at times. Unless someone upsets my kids then I am strong. Xx
