...because after a shite afternoon you give in and raid the cupboard to find something really really BAD to eat only to find you only have healthy stuff and the worst you can do is a cup of cold Milo...

Edit: Found a tin of sardines, just had sardines on toast and a cup of milo. Tasted better than it sounds!

As a kid I had a penchant for flat-packed sardines in oil. Every time my mother and father would have a party they would go into the cupboard to get the sardines and there wouldn't be any. She took to hiding the tins of Sardines in her bedroom closet as I loved to just open a can of 'em and eat them right out of the tin without anything else. Haven' had a sardine now for probably 20 years. Ever since I found out that was one of the things that kept causing my gout to flare up all the time. Also had to give up liver & kidneys as well for the same reason.

Thank goodness for 7-11, is all I can say. Not well today, just had to have raisin toast for breakfast.

A: why are you punishing yourself?

Yep, sardines on raisin toast will definitely kill you

oh urp

but no where near as bad (my mother denies this) as clam pancakes

Clam pancakes? Devils food. SMS that is terrible! I am a flat packed in oil sardine girl myself, I thought I didnt have any tins but I have 3!! well two now

so far, it all sounds disgusting!

If you stopped eating everything you were told was bad for you there would be nothing left to eat. Unless there is a medical reason just eat what you want when you want. I have a small appetite (kids portions work for me) not for any dietary reason but because that is what my body wants. I eat 5 smaller meals rather than 3 larger meals in a day.

And how many cans of full-sugar coke?

I drink those not eat them so they don't count

Yeah, right. How you're not 16 stone, I don't know.

I am exactly like you Poss, apart from getting "larger" and "smaller" the wrong way round...

I even found one of her cans in my car the other day.

I'm pretty sure that the way I read that wasn't the way you meant it to be read...

Dirty perv!

When I was younger we didn't have much money and I would often come home from training starving and there would be nothing to eat in the cupboard. I would have to get creative and one afternoon I mixed icing sugar, coco and water. Chocolate icing makes a great after training snack!

Ayyy, luxury.
We were so poor that my Mum used to give us tomato soup poured over a plate of mashed potatoes for dinner.

I thought it was great!

Another excuse to roll out my, "I thought my Mum was being kind to us by putting milk in the baked beans, didn't realise it was to make them go further", story.

You 'ad it lucky...we always dreamed of living in a corridor.
