Diets I hate that word

I always think winter is the wrong time to diet I still need my comfort food but and this is a big but!! I really need to loose some weight (this year we have quite a few celebrations to go to).
So do I eat this:

or do I eat this

OMG this just looks so scrummy!!

I just hate dieting - it is so boring but on previous efforts I do know that it would be worth it, so perhaps I will leave it for a while and wait for some warmer weather, but for now I must make a start on some serious cooking - Marmalade, breakfast without marmalade just isn't worth having - well that's what the OH says - so I am looking out for the first arrival of the seville oranges and I will then be enscounced in the kitchen

Well better make tracks into the kitchen to start supper and maybe have one of these just to keep me going!

Any ideas for slimming recipes that I might just enjoy!!

On a sad note I lost my Aunt this week and it has all been a little stressfull, she wasn't married and had no children, so all the arranging has been left to her nieces and nephews - but most of all my sister who has been brilliant and can't thank her enough for all that she has done.
