Birthday is now officially over ...

Today is my birthday so yesterday I haf a very delicious meal with the family in a Greek restaurant. Mmmmm meze! This morning coffee and croissants with friends, this afternoon a chocolate brownie and I think a glass of wine might have slipped in somewhere.

But. That. Is. It.

Back on the straight and narrow, I've made a promise to myself. By my next birthday I plan to be in the overweight rather than the obese category so I need to get back to healthy eating. NOW!

That all sounds great. I spent a year and half working in a Greek restaurant, many moons ago and have a great fondness for a meze. I imagine its not easy to portion control when it comes in a wave of small portions.

Happy birthday, sounds like you had a great time and welcome back ;).

Thanks. Have to admit, portion control wasn't really my priority!

Thank you! Well the damage this morning seems to be 2lb so I need to get rid of that for a start - hopefully by the Friday weigh in.

In previous years the 'birthday' would have gone on for at least a week so this forum has definitely changed my outlook.
