We have a lot of laughs in our SW meetings, and members tell of their greatest pitfalls. It seems that at the moment Aldi's cheese aisle faces the chocolates and all sorts of Christmas goodies. Last week, one member gave us a demonstration of herself, slinking along sidewards to view the cheeses, but without seeing the chocolates. It was very funny, she hammed it up and several members admitted to doing the same thing.
Chocolates don't tempt me, but there is one aisle in Tesco that does. I walk along very slowly drooling at the vast display of ....... sandwiches, there are hundreds.. Not just your common Cheese and Pickle or a BLT, but Ham, Turkey, Stuffing with seasonal dressings, or two Cheeses and Salami, and there's Pigs in Blankets Sandwiches. And what about finest Scottish Salmon and Cream Cheese; Chicken and Sweetcorn triple sandwich or even Honey Glazed Ham, Red Leicester and Festive Chutney and also Finest Tesco New York Deli inspired Pastrami and Emmental!! To name but a few...what choices, my mouth waters and I look opened eyed at such delights!
Sunday tea was always a sandwich, after we'd had our Sunday dinner, but the SW food plan only allows one piece of wholemeal bread or 40g of a cereal or some nuts, as a healthy extra, so a sandwich at tea time eats into your syn allowance and made with just one piece of bread, isn't that filling, so I don't have one. boo hoo.. and just one of those packets of Tesco sandwiches would be my meals for days, not just one meal! I've watched young girls, take a packet of sandwiches, crisps and a chocolate bar and I long to be young and eating anything I wanted again! The thing is, I didn't eat like that when I was young and shops didn't sell those sandwiches anyway! But I can but dream and drool in that aisle! Do you like a sandwich?

Honestly, I miss a good old gooey melted cheese sandwich on buttered and toasted bread. Oh well, memories have to do me these day, lol.
Those girls with bad eating habits will turn into fat women with bad eating habits. It's disturbing the number of young obese people.
We have bread frequently at our evening meal, a sandwich or toast or something on toast. All aisles seem to be full of temptation at the supermarket!
I do like a good sandwich! I'll take that over a burger anyday!
Egg&Cress on brown bread…every time! x
Darling Chris,
We think that the final solution to the problems of avoidance in the supermarket from any temptations is to move....to Budapest. Here you will be guaranteed far, far fewer temptations and, as far as sandwiches go, this is a sandwich-free country. Honestly, you will not spot a sandwich in a supermarket, corner shop or, generally, in a café. So, forget your pig-in-a-blanket between two slices of bread, there will not even be a plain cheese sandwich in sight.
