Our local chippy got taken over by a Vietnamese guy. He’s still running the chippy but does a good Vietnamese menu too. So probably the only place nr Wigan you can sit in and get an amazing bowl of pho for £5. Had to drive out to pick something up so stopped by for a quick lunch

Cheese, ham, cucumber & mayo sarnie. Generally the same thing every day.

I eat the same thing every day too - 2 slices of wholemeal toast with Marmite (I add a 3rd slice with peanut butter if I'm running that night) followed by natural yoghurt with honey and milled linseed.

Far too healthy. I always have a bag of crisps & a chocolate bar as well

(plus a carrot/tomatoes/celery and fruit).

Yeah, I'd love to eat those too, but after struggling with my weight for well over a decade I found that by skipping breakfast, eating the same lunch every day, and having small sensible evening meals I can allow myself a few beers and other treats at the weekend and maintain my ideal weight. Bloody hard though, but keeping my food intake uniform Mon-Fri really helps.

I'm extremely lucky with my metabolism. Even when I did no exercise, drunk a lot more and ate a lot of ****e, I hardly put on any weight. Now I eat (fairly) healthily, barely drink, and the fittest I've probably ever been I'm still the same 11st wimp with a small belly that just won't shift. My old man was the same.

Homemade Fillet 'O Fish.

Tartare sauce, fish fingers, cheese single in a roll.

Washed down with a can of Ting.

What's wrong with a pea wet or a pie barm?

I’m on a weight loss diet.

 

[MK Shrimper]

What on earth is a pea wet?

Can't be easy in Wigan.

That was the problem in the first place!

I've lost 10lbs in the past 4 weeks. Hoping to have shifted the dad bod in a couple of months.

I have been on a highly fortified liquid lunch for years now, this has loads of fibre from the optic malt and target hops it is made from, this seems to keep my weight in check.

Went to the new Italian in Leigh (Fellinis) for a work team lunch today. Was very nice - had the chefs special pasta with pesto sauce. One of the guys had a pizza and he said it wasn't very nice though.

There's a nice little bar upstairs with a cocktail menu and an outdoor bit too, so you can just go for a drink at this place and not eat.

Has it got toilet cisterns you can rack up on?

I can't see it lasting long in Leigh if not...

Despite my statement yesterday, I've had Katsu curry & rice today.

Back to ham sarnies monday!

Just had the standard 2 slices of toast with Marmite, but I allowed myself a cake today as the girlfriend of a colleague baked some red velvet cupcakes for the royal wedding. Don't give a monkey's about the wedding, but cake's cake innit.

Tuna Mayo sandwich, some nice Jacobs crinkle chedders which had a lot of chedders in them - fair play Jacobs.

Followed by a Relentless (Yes i know naughty) and a Boost chocolate bar - One of my favourite all time chocolate bars - That and Daim Bar.

the outdoor bit isn't licensed, so you can't take your drinks outside. Or at least it wasn't as of last week...

Can I just hang out there with a few cans?
