  • Hi there people. I also work nights in a hospital/resthome. Would like to hear tips on not doing the overeating thing. I used to use high salt and high sugar foods to get me through a night shift but have chopped all of that out now. It's hard to manage nights with 3 active boys to look after and a house to run. Sometimes…

  • Hi blubberbegone. How did you get on at the party with eating. I don't consider it cheating by taking Duromine. What would be really cheating would be to overeat and undo all the good you had been doing with the eating well and exercising. I was perscribed Duromine today and am going to start tomorrow. I have already lost…
