I’m having a wild night. Caffeinated coffee, albeit with no sugar and semi-skimmed milk

I have a bar of Green and Black's in the fridge. That's my treat.

I was too lazy to go out for the pear drops and am craving something sweet. Better than craving booze I guess. |

I am eating more sweet stuff since stopping drinking. Current favourite is cadburys whole nut or dark chocolate ginger buscuits

When you think of the calories in booze we can afford some extra treats.

Morning all, I'm in today. I've put on weight since giving up booze but it's coincided with less running because of working full time. I need to cut back on food treats, because I don't have time to increase the running. |
