Mario et al - are you watching Sugar Free Farm thats on tv right now?

[Guitarista]

Read two articles recently - and watched a television programme bout it -- one was that actually breakfast isn't good for us - and d'other that indirect sugars as in from dried fruit and whole fruit are good -- unmitigatingly good.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!

Just munching on a couple a kilo's of pure animal fat i've fried up on the barby for lunch in line wit me high fat diet. Crunchy! No chance of sugar there. ;-)

Starty, hope you're ok there and tomorrow's a better day.

Hiya madonna!

Evening all.
JC I brought all the sweetie stuff left over from Chrimbo and left them in the kitchen in work, mostly scoffed by the gannets I work with by now haha.
Just back from a 1 1/2 hour Thai deep tissue massage I treated myself to, paid with by the money I would have poured down my throat the past week or so. Gonna eat some food now and I think a long soak in the bath is on the cards.

:welldone: Tabberooney !!

Yep !

Hey Maddie and G'ster..... couple of KILO'S ---- jaysus Gman -- you are SUCH a bloke :welldone:!!!!

Nope Maddie decided a while back that - unlike with alcohol or cigarettes both of which I am HOPELESSLY addicted to - I don't have either a food or sugar addiction in any way shape or form -- yes I like sweet things - and yes I sometimes eat a bit more than I should - but d'ya know what -- it doesn't bother me - I feel mostly very healthy and strong , I'm not overweight and 'a little of what I fancy does me good' ;-) hats off to anyone who goes sugar free completely - but no -- not for me -- not now anyway -and prolly never!!

I smoked for 30 years. I stopped . I believe I was addicted while I was getting the nicotine but I don't believe I am now. Did not need any support as with gargle ....... Not going to test it though.:egad:
However with alcohol - I KNOW I'm addicted and the changes in the dopamine receptors ( only learned this the other day) in my brain will mean I can never have another drink again or risk being back exactly where I was - maybe worse.
Sugar - I don't know. I think possibly I am. I eat in secret. I hide sweet stuff - I can't stop when I start ........ all the things I did with alcohol I am now doing with sugar. Feck !!

Evening..
Poor you Starty.. half way through the week, more or less..

Im prob with Molly on the sugar. Crave a bit when Im hungry. Prob do eat it in secret cos Im hiding from the kids!
Cigarettes, took ages getting off them, then got addicted to the nicorette chewing gum, would eat a pack in 1 go.
Had a 3 year obsession with Triple X mints in college, that was weird.

Just munching on a couple a kilo's of pure animal fat i've fried up on the barby for lunch in line wit me high fat diet. Crunchy! No chance of sugar there. ;-).

Are you actually cooking on the barby Like I am here eating my potato (with my leprechaun).

[starty]

morning you lovely lot. Thanks so much for the support. I think I know it will pass, just when you're in it it doesnt feel that way too much. However I KNOW that I have a horrible bug that is most likely making me feel the shitest mentally.

With you on the sugar satzy I think it is possibly an issue at times. I would like to be able to quit it easily but now is not quite the right time Plus I have lost so much weight recently I look like a haggard ole witch

The colleague who is in trouble is trying to manipulate me in a very clever way. That is half his problem he is very bright but completely weird in many ways that I just dont think he is suited to the disciplines of office work and he needs to sort himself out. I am getting huge support from many people too which does help.

Jax I think it is a great idea to push yourself a bit in your service. Feeling useful and needed is key to making us feel good about ourselves I reckon

Good morning AAA

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Morning folks, a chap could certainly get used to this waking up and not feeling blah everyday lark.

[mario]

Good morning ktab , Yes indeed one can, you can even get addicted to it :-)

Got my new bigger phone yesterday, an alcatel ... I forget. Anyway its nice n big so I can drop in here now even when I out on the road.

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

That's good Mario, it's a great to have you here posting daily.

I like that, addicted to sobriety, I honestly think I am on that road and I can't tell you how happy, grateful and relieved it makes me feel. I know I have said it before but this time my quit is completely different. When you know it you just know, if you get my drift.

[mario]

I know it well Ktab, as I have been there, When you know You know.

I am delighted for you ktab, really am, having met you a few times personally, your a sound bloke. We could do with more of your like on our side .

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Thank very much Mario what a lovely thing to say, sure your not too bad yourself!
