Hi Change, I'm with ya on the sugar and biccies thing - am half way through a pack of choc biscuits as we speak, even though I know I'm having dinner in an hour... tis a bad road to go down... I will make a conscious effort with you and get onto the L-glut and other non-chocolatey things if you like? Can't promise miracles, but am willing to try. Can I wait until tomorrow though? Still got half a pack of biscuits, and there's no way i'll be able to resist them - I'll eat them all tonight and be ready to go by tomorrow :H:H:H

Gyco, i think you could be right! I've always pigged out on things i like and done emotional eating.

Spuddleduck, i wholeheartely agree with you, and thought the same thing.

Neart, yeah, okay, let's do it! Lol @ finishing the packet, so like me!! I've got two bisckies left and am seriously contemplating throwing them out, cos that will be a true sign that i am committed to detoxing. I'm also afraid that if i eat one, i will rush out and buy another packet (although that will be hard, i'm on a sick day)..

haha zenny it did warn me on the bottle to stick close to the toilet, but as is typical of me i gave myself a double dose.....yikes!
next best clean-out is a thing called "Fleet" here in Oz - they give it to you the night before any abdominal surgery. They reckon if you're not crapping water within 2 hrs, take another dose!
Man i was pretty glad that i was a "one dose" patient! Talk about EMPTY! All the better for the surgeons though, not to have to deal with a bowel full of shit.:H

we got this great toilet paper here called Quilton, & inside the roll core it says:
"Quilton - loves your bum" very cute.

Ok....

It's my turn....I had a colonoscopy a few years ago and it said, "clear liquids," and I thought Chardonnay and Rumplemintze are clear liquids and I went to town on them the day before the procedure. I asked the GI guy when I went in, "Does your mother KNOW what you do for a living? I mean, you're telling me there were NO other jobs when you graduated from med school?".

Well, I go through the whole procedure and the doctor says to me after I wake up, "Do you remember what you said to me?' And I said, "no," because they had me blitzed (at my request) on Tylenol and Codeine....He said, "You asked if you could kiss me and I said, 'no, not right now, but maybe later."

I thought, "Kill me now."

Is moderation possible long-term for alcoholics? This is the question I am seriously asking myself. Abstaining for a month or more is not a problem. The problem is wondering if my drinking will slowly inch up to too much / loss of control after a long period of moderation. Does moderation only work for "problem drinkers" - and who can really know if they are one or the other? I've gone to AA and hear way worse problems than mine, but I don't want to keep having the level of problems I have right now either.

Well, i've just whacked a liver-friendly banana cake in the oven, will let all know how it goes :goodjob:

cdauphne, i doubt whether moderation is possible for some people, hence complete abstinence..

Liver-friendly banana cake! I like the idea of banana cake, although I find any mention of liver makes me feel ill - my Mam made me eat liver when I was a kid, and kidneys too - so horrid! As a result, just the words "liver" and "kidneys" gross me out now
Ok, I'm making a conscious effort today too so - I'm start with a good brekkie, so no white bread for me! Let us know how the banana cake goes

Yep!
I too have the chocolate urge.
There's a machine at work and I regularly used to scoff between 3 and 10 bars of bars of whatever took my fancy.
Fortunately this has no effect on my weight at all but other risks must have been heightened during this period. I had to make myself go to work with just my lunch and no change in my pockets.
It's passed now, for the most part, but I still treat myself now and again, in moderation.
Hmmm...moderation!
Life's big secret it seems.

Cool neart, well done on the brekkie!

I can't even remember what i put in... oh, hang on bananas, but there's a whole lot of other stuff. When i was in the kitchen, i decided to only jog my memory if it tastes good. Sort of loosely based it on Sandra Cabot's recipe, but with a few ingreds of my own. Used soy flour, so i'll see how it goes uch:
