I would make a lousy heroine in a book.

The first thing I do when I'm stressed in make a cup of tea and tea is too wet without biscuits.....!

I don't read crime fiction, but most heroines in novels are quite young so it's easier to stay slim pre-menopause. I must admit, I was always skinny pre-menopause and would lose my appetite if I was stressed. I still eat less when stressed but unfortunately the weight continues to go up!

Elly Griffith books brilliant and her heroine is what my DH would call Rubenesque ? in fact Elly is no slim Jim and neither am I.

Find a body? Or read Ellie Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway series. Ruth is my kind of heroine, extra stones included.

I don't know either, but if you do find out, I would be willing to give it a go grin

Irritatingly, I have recently noticed that all the main people in the books I like to read (usually crime fiction) loose their appetite at the 'drop of a hat' no matter what happens in the story. They then quickly become gaunt or noticeably thinner to all their friends/lover(s)/colleagues.
Maybe it's just me but I could easily grab a snack wherever I am and still get to the crime scene - maybe that's why I'm overweight..... blush.
How do I do 'The Crime Scene' diet?
