I never want to wake from THAT world

Hi Dave,

I don't like chocolate at all, but I could say something like that about crisps 😁

As usual my morning cheer, thank you, Dave 😊 (and stay off the "salad" 😉)

[Dave1961 25kg in reply to Elissy]

No weird logic required.

Crisps form part of your vegetable intake for the day....right?

[2bFabnfit]

Like calories leak out of broken biscuits right?

[Dave1961 25kg in reply to 2bFabnfit]

Totally! Everyone knows the broken ones have less calories.

Its just basic common sense.

[2bFabnfit]

Not sure this thread is helping my resolve 😈

[Elissy 3kg]

Maybe not, but with all these struggles and hard work and determination isn't it absolutely great to start the day on a lighter note 😊

My dad's excuse to have a little drink after dinner was that alcohol breaks down fat so it was for medicinal purposes 🍸😇

Is,nt wine one of your 5 a day??? It,s good to laugh, thank you Dave. From Brit to Oz have a good day x

This reminds me of the Little Britain fat club sketch, where the guy says you should eat half the cake and then it will be half the calories so you can eat twice as much

For me chocolate, cake and the smell of KFC makes my eyes turn large and black (like in Madagascar when the lion becomes too hungry to concentrate and everyone turned into steak)

Sometimes when I walk away from these things the effort is so great that I feel like it ages me dramatically.

According to google, chocolate was invented by a guy called Daniel Peter in 1875, think I will pay him a visit when my life comes to an end.

It might be worth tasting some raw cocoa - it's very different to standard 'chocolate'. Yes it is a vegetable and it does have health benefits. But the other things they add in to turn it into chocolate are certainly not salady in any respect whatsoever! The less that's added the better really. Can you get 'nakd' bars where you are? They're about 150cals and I get a good chocolatey hit from them. Maybe after your 4 week abstention they might be worth a try? I don't buy them in bulk though, as money-saving as that may seem. I need to just buy single items of things like this, so as not to be tempted to go back for seconds...

Arghhhhhhhhhhh Dave you are no good to me today!!!! Chocolate is my weakness I need no excuse ... however I did see my oncology dietician yesterday & she 'allowed' me one tiny piece a day, in an otherwise crap consultation that was music to my ears

Hope all is well in your world .. keep making us smile x

[Jenever]

Great load of posts, a good laugh guys we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.

[nomoremuffin]

Love this - thanks for making me smile on a day when I am struggling a bit.

[Meshyt]

Haha! I live in the Chocolate capital of the world - some parts of town you can smell it constantly!

Dave - you should try some Chocolate Tea - No calories, just the taste

I've tried the Tea Pigs one, the Horniman's one (yes, this is a brand of tea! I'm not kidding) and one from Freres Mariage. I don't know what brands you might have in Australia, but check your local health food shop.

This thread's reminding me of the "it doesn't count if..." video
