I actually turned down chocolate last night! After dinner seems to be the worst time, because my husband eats A LOT of chocolate it if it's in the house, and always offers it to me as well. Of course I want some! But I generally don't need it. And last night I abstained! Yay me!

Welcome! I'm 52 years old tomorrow, female, and also looking to lose about 2 stone.

I started MFP again today. I'm embarrassed at having put back on everything I'd previously lost, so I started a new account (had to get a new email address just to sign up!). At work, I enlisted 3 friends to keep me accountable. Not to what I'm eating necessarily, because that can get creepy. I've just asked them to check…
