[QUOTE="Eliminator, post: 55104, member: 15122"] About the eating, we have just found out about this with my son, he can eat a large meal and at the end of it still want to eat more, ecpesially of a night. The hospital specialist said it's a growing spurt, the body needs more energy, hence more food. If your training and have burned up your energy you will also need more food. So if you want to eat of a night then eat of a night, but try and make it something healthy. I used to have chololate and crisps and pepsi every night of the week and chocolate bars while working. Then all the doo gooders told me to eat more veg with my meals. Well I never eat veg with my meals as I don't like it, but what I did find is that raw veg as a snack straight from the fridge is quite nice, so when I wanted a choc bar, I wend and got a large raw carrot, cut both ends off and ran it under the tap, this is nice and you find yourself biting the outside off to get the the nice juicy bit in the middle, it also takes longer to eat than a choc bar. it's no were near as tasty as a choc bar don't get me wrong and I would have choc all the time if I could. but we are unlucky and if we have too much of if we are going to harm ourselves which in turn will harm our family. Sorry if I sound like a depressing git, but it's how I convince myself to stay off it for a few days. So now I don't say I am not going to have chocolate, I just say to myself I am gona wait till the weekend, so now I just have some at the weekend and thats it. So don't feel bad about eating more, just eat more of the healthy stuff. Mark [/QUOTE]
