Danger time

[Clare987]

Aah, this is my absolute danger time - in the kitchen cooking dinner. Now, normally I fill up on any junk that cannot run away from me, then eat my healthy dinner with my family on top of that. So, instead of filling up on junk, i have folded clothes and am now posting on here. I just need to last another 20 minutes and it will be dinner time. I will do this. Thanks for listening to me everyone.

Nearly there and then you can enjoy your dinner without guilt! My danger spot is 3pm when I'm working at home and no-one is here. But I'll plan a snack in for that time tomorrow. Strange how I don't need afternoon snacks at the weekend.

I'm going to follow your example and swap snacking for housework!!

Perfect plan 😊. You know we have a general chat thread claire887 ?

I try having a pint of cold water to drink as a distraction.. it won't suit every one, but it works for me!!

Thanks, didn't think I was quite using this site correctly -- but am getting super support! Is the General chat on the what's happening? Do let me know. Am really keen to get all the support I can here.

Thanks.

Yes I think IndigoBlue61 meant the What's happening thread. Posting like this is fine though - it's great to just get direct replies. But with the What's happening thread you're likely to get immediate responses in times of crisis! I've posted on there that I'm talking myself out of going for a run and before I know it they've practically tied my shoelaces for me

That’s exactly it Clare987 😊. There is no problem at all posting anything you like on the forum, but for a general news and catch up the What’s Happening thread is really good, especially if you need a distraction from the food demons 😊

Good for you...frozen grapes make a healthy slow e😊ating snack

I started making myself a cup of tea to sip while I'm preparing dinner. Good idea to get the washing folded though

I don't mean to be rude or crude but for a second I thought in my head hmm danger time is that what some people call sexual tension... lol good on you for folding cloths and moving away from the food.

Nibbling is a deffo danger time in both contexts 😂😉

Well done. Good idea to do anything to keep your mind off food 😊
