Xenon's diary....(enter if you dare :p)

Doing good so far today :) lots of water, I actually had breakfast -- cereal and milk, and now i'm having fruit with water. Went to the store and bought some fish today. I have noticed that stores are getting pretty tricky with the expiration date. Things which are practically expired are the things they put on discount. I have even seen them selling things that are already expired! The worst was a couple of days ago when I went to wal-mart to get some eggs...they literally used permanent black marker and marked off the expiration date, but as the exp. date is impressed, I was able to see that it expired about a week ago.

anyways off to study for bio and calc exams :)
 
Urgh, thats awful about the eggs! You can make people really sick selling shit like that so long after the expiry date! Love going into shops right before closing and snapping up all the cheap end of day deals :)

Well done with the water!
 
I think that is criminal - they could make someone really really ill - is it not illegal over there? I'm sure it is here.

Heheh I am a bargain hunter too Sunflower - like nothing better than stocking up the freezer with super deals!
 
Hi everyone...I just wanted to clarify

I am restarting again, but I will be doing it confidentially in my personal life as i do not need an extra conscience telling me what to eat :)

^^I meant my offline life here. The food police comes around when they know I'm watching what I eat :)

Hana thx for the encouragement re the water :) I could not believe the eggs!
jjjay it is illegal here! I don't know how these companies get away with it. Maybe because of ppl like me who cannot be bothered with reporting them because we are so busy with other things. The worst I have seen was at the Pepperidge Farm outlet near here. I went there about a month ago, and they had things that expired from MAY of this year. INSANE

I had a totally terrible day yesterday. Junk food between calculus lectures and homework, with flavored sparkling water as if that makes a difference lol. I love Perrier pink grapefruit!! Going grocery shopping today though and throwing out all of the junk in the house.
 
I adore fizzy flavoured water! I love peach best. Or mixed berries. Don't worry about eating crappy today--blame the calculus and have a fresh start for the next meal!
 
Thx Hana! There's so much I can blame the calculus for *shakes fist* lol I had a super day yesterday, plus i bought groceries and my husband ate the remainder of the junk food in the house LOL I had zero chocolate yesterday :svengo:

I'm trying to cut down on sodium and red meats, I'm also afraid of non-organic chicken since they feed them arsenic X_x Biology class definitely had its benefits and setbacks lol
 
Ever tried getting food parcels when broke? they get ALL the expired food. Once i got rice and i boiled it for like 3 hours and it was still hard as rock lol.

Thank god im not that poor any more!

OMG Wishes that is terrible! Reminds me of the six year old meal from Mc Donalds:ack2:
 
Hey Xe!!! Great to see you're still around!! :D

Eek about the eggs- that's RANK. Don't know what your laws are like over there, but here you ring the council and heads roll. I work at Woolies and the store gets fined for anything expired found on the shelf, and if one department has more than 3 separate items out of code then not only does the store get fined, the individual manager for that department does too. Like huge fines- think it starts out at $5000 per item after 3 and goes up to $50,000. And the store gets charged the same, only 10x. Owie!

Luzzzzzzz *huge hugs* How are you?

Ouch abt the fine! They need something similar here because it is quickly becoming a trend in even the most reputable stores. I believe they are supposed to be regulated, but I should really look into it because I keep seeing the same thing everywhere I go!
 
Xenon? XENON? <rings little bell> <then rings much bigger, louder bell>

I'm so sorry to read you went through such a rough time last year. I hope things are going better for you lately. {{{hugs}}}
 
*sighs* I don't think they will ever get better Mrs. Shadow. It seems I will have to drop out of school. It's been about a month since I have gotten good sleep and from since Saturday I think I have gotten about 8 hours of sleep. My husband is totally inconsiderate when it comes to me getting sleep ... He needs his 12+ hours and does not care to watch the little one, even if he wakes two hours or one hour after I crawl into bed. I am tired of getting upset that he does not care and I cannot really function like this. So I think I will drop out of school and focus on this little one. It is a shame, thus far I managed to do exceptionally well in my classes.
