I will shortly be demolishing two iced vanilla custard slices
It's not good for me but who cares.

we all need our little treats. As long as you are not pigging out on them all day every day a treat makes you feel good. Somebody famous said [forget who] - None of us are getting out of this alive so enjoy the day and eat the cake

Get the vanilla whilst you can, i-spy.

The price of vanilla has gone through the roof: a more than tenfold increase!

Many makers reformulating their products, with substitution for vanilla.

I used to eat all of the stuff listed, which for the most part, considerably enjoyed.

For the best part of seven decades, I managed to also stay slim.

Probably burning up fewer calories after retirement, but still (fairly) slim.

But when I quit smoking, the weight really piled on.

So for a long time now, NO sugary/fat chocs, sweets, cake, biscuits etc, even cream on my strawberries I have had to exclude. (no milk/sugar for over 30 years - my beverages black no S)

But shedding the belly fat was really difficult. Had to also squelch the grey carbs, particularly spuds and bread, which were two of my favourites, and a day packed full of NEAT!

So yes, reading this thread, I do feel deprived of the pleasures of partaking in the foodstuffs mentioned.

But it has certainly been worth it. The improvement in my health and general well-being is phenomenal. Even my GP says remarkable.

Enjoying life more, and considerably reduced meds which I need to take.

Nowadays, as I walk the supermarket isles, see the special offers such as 'Flake': Four for a Pound - I find myself uttering, "Resist: be kind to yourself. far less painful not to put on the excess in the first place"!
