My father went to France this week and popped round last night to drop off our booze. However, he also brought with him a tasty treat for me. A (smallish) wheel of St Felicien cheese. For those of you who've never had it - it's like Brie but much much yummier!! I am currently 2st overweight following the birth of DS2 9 weeks ago. I started weight watchers on Monday.

This morning I have been a great big greedy bitch and ploughed my way through half of it. It's now sitting on the side haunting me. No one else in the house likes it. Shall I just eat the rest and try to forget this whole sordid episode?? Is that disgusting? AIBU??

The cheese lover in me says "get the knife and bread out" but as a fellow WeightWatcher I am going to advise that you pour washing-up liquid all over it. Go on. Do it now and remove the temptation.

Eat the cheese. Savour it, enjoy every mouthful.

Notice when you are full. Stop at that point.
Go for a walk, enjoying the feeling of fullness and the memory of the lovely cheese treat you have given yourself as an indulgent present.

Skip lunch, just have a piece of fruit if you are hungry.

Have a light supper.

Enjoy your life

I am pg and therefore can't eat smelly French cheese. I am literally DYING of jealousy. EAT IT! Do it for all the other pg women out there urging you on.

And you're only 9 weeks post-birth? WW can wait another week I reckon

On form again I see cupcakes....... I'm picturing a mouthful of cheesey soapy bubbles!

Polish beer at this hour?????

catinboots I have to agree though, get rid of it. You'll only feel guilty. Let me feel guilty for you.

You can post it to me. I'll keep it safe for you.

In a place no-one will see it. Next to some bread and wine..........and full of digestive acids!

Do you want my address?

Ignore them!

Don't do it! I have been struggling to lose my baby weight for three years

Miffster is right!!
Eat until you aren't hungry anymore, enjoy every bite, and go for a walk. Deprivation only makes things worse.

And...FWIW I stopped dieting (using the above 'rule') and lost a stone. I eat what I want, only when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I actually eat less than I did when I was on WW, and now I eat chocolate every single day!!!

I am never touching Polish beer again, Mouseface. My right eyeball feels like it's been gone at with a drill

BTW, you'd have to eat a lot of cheese to make you full

Would a bacon sandwich be pushing it, Mouseface?

This is my idea of heaven! You are doing WW so be proud of yourself, but who cares about a blip, it's there so finish it off and don't beat yourself up about it

I fell off the very top of the wagon today. I'm dieting but felt so fed up with one thing and another, won't bore you, I had a sausage and cheese sandwich with brown sauce for breakfast and I feel................

BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!!

Sorry, no bacon.

MacDonalds for lunch?

Or a cheese wheel?

Damn you Mouseface. Damn you! Why does that sound do rank yet so tasty?

Serious MN hat on for a minute but IME one blip leads to a whole series of blips Take last week for instance. It was DS's birthday so I thought "fuck it. I'm having m some birthday cake!" then it was "well, I've had the cake, may as well have a scone" then "I've really pissed it up the wall now ooh is that a piece of garlic bread? mmm yes it was I'll have another"

Got on the scales this week and lost bugger all. I have no-one to blame but myself and my zero-will power.

Now, what can I eat fgs?

Eat it

and then don't eat anything else until you're really hungry the rest of the day

drink plenty of water and have a very light vegetable-ruch dinner

I know cupcakes......... I plan to have salad for the rest of the day even though it's freezing here.

Just needed a fix. I am weak. I am shameless too.

I don't regret my choice of breakfast but will be a good girl for the rest of the day.

Promise

I've had a bowl of strawberries and I'm having nothing else until tonight. I want a nice thai curry in all it's coconut milk glory so if I must starve myself to make it so, then starve I shall.

Cupcakes - the washing up liquid trick is one of my favourites. But this cheese is too precious to destroy.

I'm going to the eat the cheese. With no guilt. And eat nothing until my lettuce-leaf supper.

Can everyone stop talking about nice food? Lettuce is lovely, you know? Let us talk about lettuce.

Lol, the best way to destroy the cheese is to have it. lpa the watermelon would have counteracted the calories in the crisps. I now want crisps, doh!
