Earl Grey tea

[nicole]

Hi there all you clever cohenites

I have been avoiding Earl Grey tea for the last 6 months as I wasn't sure if we can have it on the program??

Does anyone know if we can?

Thanks for your help

hey nic
im pretty sure u can, i did the whole time, its just a black tea so yes, the only tea we aren't allowed is like green with lemon flavouring, or liquorice or fennel, but any common herbal like peppermint, green, camomile and english breakfast yes

Ow great!
Thanks hopeful, I will send my consultant and email and find out

BTW I was reading your maintainence diary and your doing so well! Keep up the fantastic work- your such an inspiration to us still on the plan!

oh thanks nic!

i rarely feel like an inspiration though hehe sometimes i feel bad for writing things cos i dont want others on the plan to lose motivation!

if i can say one thing to everyone when they start maintaining, PLEASE buy one or two or three of geneen roth's books, or start reading when you're on plan, ive just read "when you eat at the refrigerator pull up a chair", "feeding the hungry heart" and im starting "breaking free from emotional eating". theyre awesome books and maybe some ppl who read them before they start maintenance wont have some of the problems i did! hehe

anyway you have done so well, keep up the awesome effort!

For the record I spoke to my consultant and YES Earl Grey tea is offically allowed YAY as I love drinking it black.
