I'm sure you'll reach your goal, it's not an easy road but I'm sure you will make it. I used to be 7 stone over my ideal weight (comfort eating was/is my thing) and the only thing I can say was that it was painful to change things but I am much happier now and my life is much much better.<br /><br />I wish you the best of luck and think you're a very cool person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566828350692313875.post-75506145169202889112011-12-09T08:39:34.253+00:002011-12-09T08:39:34.253+00:00I love the way the Chinese slow cook meat - it jus...I love the way the Chinese slow cook meat - it just leaves it so luxurious and decadent, and yet, not too fatty. Wonderful stuff, and perfect, it must be said, for a hangover. And quite the opposite to Miss Whiplash, I LOVE the star anise and would happily go with three or four (six might be a wee bit much, even for me). <br /><br />Kids really can be frighteningly honest. Mrs GW is a primary school teacher...she can definitely confirm this. Mind you, my mum has been known to poke me in the stomach and comment that I'm looking porky. So maybe that sort of honesty isn't the sole preserve of children.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566828350692313875.post-80839288596243790002011-12-06T13:23:15.871+00:002011-12-06T13:23:15.871+00:00This would make my life.

I guess I can't really just leave it out here - I shall have to make some kind of Jennie-regional variation...<br /><br />I am very glad that my nephews are currently a teeny bit too small for that kind of thing - am sure it will come soon though.<br />My sister taught the little one to high five the other day though, which is unbelievably cute and makes him laugh hysterically every time :-)<br /><br />@meemalee - I don't recommend bleach - that way lies humiliation and suffering.
