Thanks again mjm - have had a pretty good day food-wise. I realised this morning how much more energy I have - I actually enjoyed the exercise bike this morning! And despite having had a very tiring and rather trying day, I have not snacked to compensate.

however, I am feeling quite hungry now, so once I've fetched my d. from her youth club (the penalty of rural living is running a domestic taxi service) I will think of something healthy but filling to eat.

Hope you've had a good day everyone, and that you've managed to get back on track Bally67 - we all have bad times...just move on (briskly, to burn off some calories!)
