    Does anyone know of anywhere you can send/donate unwanted Easter eggs? I hate Easter eggs, my birthday is around then and I always get loads as birthday presents I do like chocolate but not that much all at once and Easter egg chocolate is awful quality.. and I seem to give in to temptation way too much!

    Being good today, refused cake from two different people and having roast chicken and gravy with veg, yum yum yum!
    Oooh send them to ME!

    Arrrrgggg, I'm dying.
    [/melodramatic]

    Although if I still feel like this tomorrow, I'll be saving myself a few calories - I'm gong out tomorrow night, but if I still feel like death, I'm gonna skip alcohol and stick with diet coke.

    Need to go make dinner soon. I'm thinking cod baked with pesto and tomatoes, servied with sliced baby potatoes/green beans/onion/pepper fried up together (not with loads of oil though)

    Could you donate them to a homeless shelter or a women's refuge? Or perhaps an old people's home? If you have one near you of course

    So I got my A level results today, and they weren't good, AT ALL. I just don't know what to do as I genuinely worked so hard. I've already eaten really badly all day so I might just write it off and start again tomorrow I seem to be having too many days like this recently though...
    Me too. I've had such a bad diet this past week. :/.

    Found out today that on 11th May I will have finished uni FOREVER. This is rather scary, but means that I have two months before graduation in which to dedicate ENTIRELY to my exercise and diet campaign.

    Even if I don't lose another pound before May, surely two months would be enough to shed the final 19 pounds? I am going to do this before graduation, riiiiight??

    Of course you are! You've been really inspirational on these threads, good luck with the last few pounds.

    Today's been a bit odd. Spent much of the day dashing about going to lectures and buying food - I've done enough walking to require another 350 calories, but I've barely managed to eat 750 so far. Guess I should go and make something to eat, but even after my planned dinner I'll have 400 calories to spare... don't know what to do with them.

    I'm sure you'll lose between now and May, so I think you've got a pretty good shot at being at your goal for graduation - I really hope you make it

    Scary, I finish forever on the 18th May... but I don't graduate (if I actually pass, I don't like to jinx these things for myself :p:) until November! :/ No idea why my Uni decide to do it in freezing November, when most unis graduate in the summer/early autumn, when the weather might actually be nice :p:

    Have you decided what you're wearing to your graduation?

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I can totally do this .

    Well we have to wear black on the bottom and white on the top, so very limited, but I'm hoping to try and wear a skirt rather than trousers, and a nice fitted shirt rather than the ones I'd have worn in the past which were horrible and baggy!

    Hoping someone decides to have a graduation party then I can buy something skimpy and entirely inappropriate . I need to get this out of my system before I get too old.. no-one likes mutton!

    Well and truly fed up tonight. Managed to mess up the cooking of the rice I was making for dinner, so I've ended up with curry sauce and two slices of bread. All my friends are drinking in the house tonight (one of my favourite activities that I haven't indulged in for weeks) and I can't join them because a) diet, and b) university work/up early for lectures. Hate today, it's been truly miserable since I left uni.

    Pretty good day today... Got SO much work, and that would usually make me eat a ton of biscuits, but I just haven't bought any so can't eat any

    Breakfast: bagel with peanut butter
    Lunch: 2 tubes of canneloni bolognaise, lots of salad. Apple crumble
    Afternoon: wholemeal pitta with philadelphia and cherry tomatoes
    Dinner: tomato soup with a roll, plain yoghurt and cherry compote.

    Haven't managed to do any exercise because of work, but I do have a fair few sports matches over the weekend..

    Well, you've probably had dinner already, but jacket potatoes are the most filling thing you can eat IMO. There's no way a large jacket potato with maybe 1/2 a can of beans would take you over 500 cals, but for some reason it's seen as something to steer clear of when you're on a diet.
