how do you lose 2 thirds of your self?

[broadsbean]

Mn I've struggled with water this week too so might try the bottle idea. Also have been slipping with the pepsi max consumption - buying one can every week day and had two on thursday when I was having a bad day Not bought any big bottles for months though so getting there, my teeth are wrecked from having pepsi max 24/7 before, couldn't start my day without it

Hope Houdini has settled, just getting a really odd image of a hedgehog sitting on his hindlegs in your bath holding a weetabix in it's paws and glowering at people when they sit on the loo :8855:

nooooo i have that image now
:8855::8855::8855:
can you imagine teens face :8855:

pepsimax must contain some sort of addictive chemical in it, the devils drink i am now calling it
bought cheap cola for hubby and teen this week

I have a dodgy 'tinternet connection this weekend keeps dropping out for some reason

couldn't connect at all last night :cry:thought i might get withdrawel symptoms :cry:
amazing how anxious the thought of not being able to chat or catch up with jackie and tillys madness, made me

so if i go missing, think of me rocking in my chair going slowly mad while screaming at the magic box:8855::8855:

Heh I can sympathise, I'd be feeling a little lost too. And it's also fretting about how much there will be to catch up on while I'm gone

I've c&p'd your recipe, will give that a go next time I order some joes sausages, thank'ee

Is couscous your new best friend in the kitchen cupboard after last week's great WI result?

Pepsi Max.... I am also a Recovering Addict!!!

It definately has something evil in it, that gets you addicted!! Lol

I allow myself a couple of glasses at the weekend but stay completely off during the week. I just drink gallons of Sugar Free Squash and water!

I was known in the past, to drink 2 litre of Pepsi Max in a day!!!!! I kidded myself it was ok, as it was a diet drink!!!!

I know - my teeth are in a right state because of it Did the cold-turkey coming off it for three months earlier in the year and it was horrible with headaches and nausea. Letting it back in now but it's one to watch ain't it :sigh:

It obviously isn't okay for being diet since there's so many of us who've been addicted to it on here who also need to lose weight lol

Thank you and welcome
i have started making up 4 500ml bottles of juice in the morning and then they stare at me every time i go in the kitchen reminding me to drink them :8855:

once i have drunk them i allow my self a glass of pepsimax which is all i ever used to drink

And i try and have 2 cups of green tea a day.

Hope you dont mind - am gonna steal this idea - i am still a pepsi max addict, trying to come off of 3 cans per day - i have read all sorts of info on how bad it is, but I have to say it was easier to give up smoking!!! You guys have inspired me to give it another go - Thank you xxx

I ain't giving up mine in sympathy, sorry

Kinda need it to be there - I think it's better that I dare to have 2 cans of pepsi max in one day when I'm feeling down rather than go mad on syn-filled foods, even if the pepsi max is an old addiction

[Lily42uk]

Hey hun, good to have you back with us full time :giggle:
I know what you mean...miss a few hours on here and it takes a week to catch up lol..love it.
I used to be addicted to all fizzy drinks not just Pepsi Max...just decided after a few bouts of really bad toothache to give it up, as I was sure it was at the root (no pun intended lol) of the problem and *touch wood* it seems to have done the trick, now if I could just do the same with my coffee ......
Have a good day sweetie xxxxxxxxxx

I've run out of nas squash, stuck on the plain water or herbal tea... I feel too pure

lo don't i know, it hubby thinks we should go out i keep making excuses so i can catch up :8855:
thinks he has sussed what i am doing now and threatening to disconnect me

Heehee! At least minimins is a healthy addiction - does he not see the wisdom in this?

I got terribly anxious today about Charlie's assembly, its so stupid, but I couldn't help it and felt ill all day and got it all worked up out of proportion all for 25 mins Still feel rough but think its just bcuse I was so tense all day

Oh and my mobile went off in themiddle of it that didn't help . I put it on silent but didn't realise as I had an alarm set each day to remind me to stop work and go and get Charlie that still went off, whoops :giggle:

Good luck for WI sweetie and just wanted to say thank you for always being there for me xxxxx
