thanks oolala53 - I flicked through a book called "French women don't get fat" on a friend's bookshelf a while ago. I think that was the what it was arguing - that France doesn't have a snacking culture at all, good "form" there is more conducive to staying slim than polite "form" in the UK or USA -...

Looks like you're doing great! Sorry you're getting bad dreams though. I really like your idea about dividing the butter up into weekend allowances! I already only buy small chocolate bars.

you seem to be doing great with your habits at the minute - well done for resisting all those chips! I've found that reducing my alcohol intake has reduced my snacking too.
