When I was in France my mother in law told me most french women live on green beans when they're dieting, you can even get them in powdered form.
Not the sort of thing I would snack on though.

Thats the one! I had my appendix out there when I was 10 as well.

I like green beans but I wouldn't want to live on 'em - and definitely not in powdered form. It seems to me that French women don't get fat because they don't eat anything with calories in .... which is pretty much the same as being on a constant diet.

When I was in Paris in the Spring (Oh La la!) I saw plenty of diet food there and it can't all of been for the tourists! I saw a fair numbr of plump Madames.

hehe... when i was little i used to say "when i grow up im going to be a right little madam".... lol..

Guys is gd... good kids itu... lots of cardiac stuff ... oh and the view.... i would never get any work done if i was there lol...

They put me in an adults ward for some reason - lovely view though - and I had a complete fascination with going up and down in the lifts - I can't remember for sure but I think it might have been the first time I ever went in a lift.

I once worked in an office with a french woman and she didn't seem to eat anything apart from veg - her favourites for lunch were a tupperware container of mixed pepper marinated salad or marinated mushrooms with garlic - both of which smelled absolutely delicious. In retrospect, in the year I worked with her I don't remember her eating any carbs...

yep, carbs are the killers ........ wish i cud resist tem like ur frech friend sarah ann!!!
Christmas holidays is proving to be a very difficult tme for dieting/ exercise or weight loss in general!!!!!! I am toltally stuck on 91.7 kilos and wotever i do it wont budge, am really starting to hate that numba.
I had a french au pair wen i was little, so maybe its time to email her and get her to tell me some weight loss secrets!
