Comestible Cop:
"Step away from the chocolate, sir!"

"I, er ..."

My mid-week fasting day got moved to today because I took advantage of a lovely sunny day yesterday to walk to Todmorden on a shopping trip. That's a total distance of 6.5 miles, which I didn't fancy doing on a 600 calorie day, and I wanted to treat myself to something at
Morrisons when I got there (a big slice of Victoria sponge and a coffee).
The trouble is, I was tempted into buying a 5 x 40 g pack of nutty chocolate bars from Lidl while I was over there ...
Two 40 g bars mysteriously disappeared last night but I am now painfully aware of the malevolent presence of the three remaining bars in my kitchen! It's the first time in 3.5 weeks that I have been tempted to break the rules.
I won't give way, but I prefer not to have temptation in the house so I will think ahead next time. If I want to buy chocolate the day before a fasting day, I'll buy just enough for that one day.
Right, I'm off to make a big mug of tea to distract myself!
