I need a diet fix please

Oh yes... I slept like a baby, although not one of my babies I hasten to add, as they never slept through the night until they were going to school and then they wouldn't get up in the morning! But I slept like a well behaved baby, only waking up to spend a penny and then going straight off into a blissful sleep again.
What a difference just one good nights sleep can make to the way you feel when you wake up. I actually felt refreshed rather than having to drag my weary bum out of bed.

I went off to sell some more books at church for the 'Stepping Stones' charity, which apart from sitting there with a pashmina wrapped around me because it was so cold, it was a very pleasant way to spend a summer morning.
Must have a word with my postie, as he said it was lovely out... yeah right.
Reni and myself decided over a cup of coffee and a cake, that the best way for me to lose this stone and a half, would be to join the slimming club in the village and a couple of the ladies at the church said that they would come along for moral support and hopefully lose a few pound along the way too.
Maybe I should do a sponsored slim as I have to lose the weight and then I could give any money raised to the 'British Lung Foundation' and then two causes would benefit, them and me.
I'm going to have to go through my fridge, freezer and cupboards and give anything that might 'linger on the hips!' to my ex as he needs fattening up!

Tonight we went to my friend Rosemary's early retirement meal at a rather nice restaurant come bar and I was very good.
Well actually I wasn't that good when I totalled it all up.
I had one white wine spritzer though made with soda water and not lemonade so brownie point.
Two small lamb koftas, served with a spoonful of cous cous, small pitta bread and grated salad... very good so another brownie point.
Then it started going awry, as I decided to have a liqueur coffee instead of a dessert, but I tried a spoonful of everyone else's pud... so minus all brownie points and owe some instead.
I think this dieting lark, might just prove problematical!

Will have to go shopping to buy more vegetables, fruit and nuts, plus try and find a Greek yoghurt that isn't as high in saturated fat as the one I adore. But and a big but, that brand does help my IBS, so what do I do????
Mind you if I'm on the toilet nonstop, will I not lose weight or will I just bloat and my tummy will double in size instead? And that would not be a pretty sight. Oh lordy, this is like a mine field!

By the way has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a lot of earwigs about this year? And can anyone tell me what possible good these creepy little bugs do on this earth? I know spiders keep the fly population down, but what task do these horrible little things perform?
Is there anyone there that can tell me why I shouldn't hit them with my slipper, because when I find a creepy little critter on my bed like I did this afternoon, it's me or them I'm afraid. Yuk just the thought of that sharing my bed while I'm in it, makes me really shudder!
Perhaps running away from them will burn up calories??????

Any ideas please for this diet?

Lots of love Debbie x
