I don’t write very much about my dieting efforts these days, mainly because it is old news and food becomes dull and boring after a while. I stopped putting pictures of my meals on my blog for the same reasons, they were all much of a muchness, and when you’ve seen one curry, well, you’ve seen them all apart from the crockery they’re served in.

Hi Willow. Thanks for the comment. I closed them on posts older than 30 days because I was getting a lot of spam and it seems to have stopped most of it.
