    Argh! Trying to muster up the will power to not enjoy the cornflakes and sultana biscuits baking in the oven!!!
    lol i totally sympathise! i think it was on about day 10 of my "no baking et al" diet (yay! up to almost 3 weeks!) and was making gingernuts with the baby and it took *all* of my willpower not to taste even one! but truly it is feeling so so so much easier now. they say it takes 21 days to form a habit and am on day 19 or 20 i think.

    you'll get there!

    mildez - yup am tallish too (not tall tall, but average tall IYKWIM) at about 170-171cm. and big boned too so although WHO guidelines for BMI say that someone my height can be as light as 53.5kg (dear GOD that is small!) i don't go below 60kgs without being unhealthy and look severely underweight if i do... (last time got down to 58kg after D&C so was really unhappy and just not managing to eat although didn't realise it, time before that was after wisdom teeth so mouth too swollen to eat).. and am a bit sad that i think i will never fit anything below a 14 again as hips were pushed apart by bub coming out - he was in a rush - natural birth without pain relief, only took 3 and a half hours! midwives asked if i was sure i'd not done it before, that made me laugh! :P

    have a fabulous day everyone! is gorgeous and sunny today! who would have thought yesterday was so stormy, still windy though - but then this is wellington!
