WELL, IT *WAS* UNTIL I HAD TO GIVE UP *ALL* MY FAVOURITE FOODS (SWEETS, CAKES, BISCUITS, BREAD, ETC.) BECAUSE I WAS ADDICTED TO THEM

EATING IS FINE NOW, BUT NOT THE GREAT THRILL IT WAS. BEING SENSITIVE TO EGGS IS THE PITS, BECAUSE MAYO IN MY TUNA, MIXED WITH CHICKEN, ETC. IS JUST *SO* FINE. I HAVE TRIED THE VEGAN STUFF, BUT IT MAKES ME HUNGRY, WHICH MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT THAT DOES ME BADLY.

WOE IS ME

HAVING GURNED MY FACE OFF, I'LL BE POSITIVE NOW. WHEN I WAS IN AMERICA, I GOT HOLD OF SOME ATKINS CHOCOLATE(!) AND IT IS WONDERFUL JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMETHING REMOTELY CHOCOLATE (IT'S NOT BAD, ACTUALLY). MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE CINEMA LAST NIGHT, AND IT WAS AMAZINGLY FINE TO HAVE A SWEETIE TO SCOFF. I HAVEN'T TRIED THE ONES AVAILABLE IN THE U.K. YET. CAN YOU GET *ANYTHING* LC OVER THERE, OR DOES IT ALL HAVE TO COME FROM ENGLAND? I COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO GET STUFF FROM DOWN SOUTH, BUT AT LEAST IT IS INLAND POSTAGE!
