Love all these comments. It so true, just wish more people had this attitude (inc myself at times). Couple of weeks ago I ate a whole easter egg while watching tv. when I logged the cals it was over 1000. My reaction? Next time weigh the chocolate and log before I eat to try and stay on track and if I really just want to…

As a chocoholic I always allow myself a small portion in my daily calorie allowance (at the mo its 1 creme egg and thank you cadburys from cutting out the dairy milk chocolate saving me cals each day) as a treat. Probably once a week I have an indulgence day, I still track my cals but dont stress if I go over my theory…

So far I've lost 22kg ( which I think…

Chocolate! It is the one bad food I cant give up so running gives me the calorie allowance to eat it. As a bonus running takes an hour after work and I cant eat for at least two hours before i run so it stops me snacking between lunch and tea. When I'm actually running and I hit the wall between miles 3&4 landmarks - just…

I totally understand your problem. I stopped running so much over winter for similar reasons - not wanting to run in the dark in a city, but what got me started again was running along one of the main roads during rush hour - not so great on the lungs but i felt safe with a constant stream of cars going passed. It was…
