    Just look at that bubbling right out of the container. How am I supposed to stay off sweets when you post stuff like this!?! :)

      oops sorry :) it was so mouthwatering and perfect. The crumble was delicious and the sourness of the rhubarb and apple teased my tastebuds to eat the whole
      ramekin (the contents not the actual ramekin) :) Okay this is not helping you.. hope you will be able to eat a sweet mouthwatering delicious dessert soon…..

        Seriously, knock it off ;) Just kidding. I can handle it. My first week was too tough, which is why I’ve been away from the blogs for a while :)

        Sense of humour helps :) but sometimes I tend to go too far when I am joking around. Good to hear you are alive and kicking. I have never been on a diet so I don’t know what it feels like, although as a kid I was my mum told me. When we were living in Hong Kong I was such a fat kid I had something wrong with me and also later TB which is not a good thing to have either.. I sent an email to you asking how you are as I had not heard from you for ages. I know you were okay as you have a great family around you… Welcome back then ;)

        Doing a 1200 calorie a day diet without being plant based is really difficult since animal foods are so calorie heavy. Doing the green smoothie challenge is easy in the sense that you’re not hungry, it’s just hard to get over sugar and bread cravings. Hard to imagine you as a chubby child! Oops, hardly every check my email associated with my vedgedout account. I’ll have to get in there!

        That sounds tough. I suppose not feeling hungry is the key. You seem like you know what you are doing though. Those smoothie really look so healthy and filling too… Good lunch with it ;) don’t loose to much weight though .. You know you have when you have to dance around the in the shower just to get wet ;) (I used to say this to my mum when she panicked when she hear I was vegan and thought that I would lose a lot of weight) :)
