Totally agree Jojo! Food has also been my saviour - it tastes sooo much better too now. Am trying to be healthy and buying carrots and celery to snack on now but somehow the Kipling Manor House Cake always just seems to find its way into my basket!!

Extra weight versus the "coffin nail"
Hi All
Did you know that to get the same health risk factors from putting on extra weight versus the fag you need to gain 5 extra stones (yes five) !!
A little extra weight will do no harm to your health, having said that we want to be slim happy no smokers, so here are my tips.
Snacks choose health ones
I have a tub in my fridge with a mixture of berry fruits i.e. strawberry's, raspberries and blackberries (expensive this time of year but I'm saving about £7.50/day) include other fruits ready prepared choose from the ones you like You can do the same with raw veg but thats not my thing include a dip if you like but go for low fat or weight watches type
Tub of crunchy muesli (dry to dip into) or other breakfast cereal, really having a moment then have with milk semi-skimmed
Low fat yoghurts fruited or plain and add your own fruit, museli etc
Get the blender out and make a fruity drink, use fruit juice instead of milk
Mix dried fruit with nuts and seeds i.e sunflower, pine nuts for snacking on try it you might be surprised, pop in a tub to take anywhere
Use an artificial sweetner e.g. canderel, sweetex, splenda etc make your own cakes, biscuits, puddings etc for lower calorie content, but remember that the fat content will be the same in baked goods use a vegetable based fat olive oil, rapeseed, sunflower and spreads containing them, to reduce saturated fat content - look after that heart
Ice creams made from sorbet are delicious and contain less fat, Solero sorbet lollies are good and taste like ice cream not sorbet
No food is bad its to do with how frequently and how much you eat, a small chocolate bar is fine but a 200g family bar in one sitting probably not!!
Hope this helps off to take the dog out and will think some more about the tips.
