Battleship Pumpkin - Veggers diet thread

[CoupleofKooks]

new thread for porky veggers trying to lose weight

have fun, be kind to each other, eat f+v, move around

see you in a bit

oh it is WEIGH IN DAY

you don't have to weigh in, but if you want to, this is the day

Well that sounds marvellous but not a lot. Are you hungry?

I was so hungry earlier I ate my vegi sushi even though the right side of my face was still numb. I was sort of getting hints of wasabi but thinking is this rice just chewy or is that my cheek?

I have had

fruit salad
almonds

veg sushi
Walkers french fries

Waffer thin turkey
brazil nuts

I don't know what to have for dinner. There is a huge bowl of ratatouille left but I don't kknow if I can face it again.

There are some mussels but its not the same without crusty bread.

Oh, and a HUGE juice from the nice Brazilian juice man. Remember him?

I don't know what was in it, it was called cold buster. Echinacea and purple stuff. Was nice.

Mmmm juice sounds nice.

No i'm not really hungry.

Am having fish pie for dinner so that's probably fairly fattening iwht the mash and the creme fraiche. I thought of making without but that wouldn't be right.

half fat?

Just asking because it is when I have made fish pie with half fat creme fraiche that it curdles and splits into that cottage cheesyness or baby vom.

It did it with lasagne too. I blame Jamie Oliver.

I don't know what to have with my ratatouille.

boco that's not much food
have you started work? i can't keep up
why didn't you have any breakfast?
i keep forgetting to say i finally saw the pictures for the pg book and they were soooooooo good
i felt really proud for / of you

i fancy guad's juice
and what is this herbalism business? i want herbalism
does it make you thin?

sorry about the filling
ds1 keeps having to have loads (god the shame) and he said the last one went right down to his gum

have had
cereal fruit blah
philadelphia roll
carrots and hummus
toasted crumpet and butter
banana, apple
uber salad with chickpeas, potatoes, eggs, spinach, basil, toms, toasted seeds, sprouted beans, and beetroot but the beetroot was a bit manky and i picked it out
oh and a fair bit of mayonnaise with it
then - chocolate hot cross bun OMG it was nice
i just had it cold - do you think it would be a bit sickly toasted? have you seen them? they've got chocolate chips in, instead of raisins
they are only little, i am sure they are not 72% of your daily fat or anything boco

I see a herbalist for me nerves.

They don't make you thin, no, but are generally supportive of your health. We were changing my usual thing for something more hormonally supportive, though I did say sneakily, was there something he could pop in to stop me binging on sugar...

He ummed and aahhed and said overeating was often to do with emotional things and being generally well and so on would be helpful blah blah blah

and I said well, yes, but I am shure you said last time there was something you could give me but not while breastfeeding and he said, hmm, yes, well I will add a little bit of kelp but just a little bit and I said ooh thank you very much. Yum. Kelp. It sounds slimy.

I dunno what kelp does, but it does ring a bell for something. I will look it up.

mmm kelp
let's all have some kelp
i have kelp envy

can anyone cure my spotty chin btw? and don't say "stop eating crap and chocolate hot cross buns"
well preferably dress it up a bit if you have to say that

One slice of toast with peanut butter and a banana.
smoothie
pear
wholemeal pitta with hummus, rocket salad and tomatoes.
Fish fingers, 5 big oven chips, mushy peas and baked beans.
grapes

Walked to and from toddler group which is probably about a mile away.

I know of the hot cross buns you are talking of. They do them in Sainsbo's are they are addictive. So much so I can't buy them otherwise I can eat far too many in one sitting

Don't toast it. DH tried that and the choc just melted everywhere!

Is birdsandblossoms aka MayorNaze? I'm sure Mayor was a Davina fan.

Had an odd day today. Some fucking pikeys stole an old hotwater tank from the side of our house. So I've had the police round and all that. It wasn't worth that much for scrap, but the thought that someone has been on our property and taken it is a horrible one.

The THIEVES first came round just as I was on my way out and asked to buy it off me. I said I wasn't interested - truth is I knew they were fucking pikeys as soon as I clocked them - and they then drove off. They then waited until I had gone and came back and nicked it. Luckily I took their liscense plate as I guessed they were theiving bastard types

Kelp is full of iodene and 'normalising' to the thyroid apparently, and can help obese people lose weight and underweight people put it on.

Maybe it helps middle people just stay in the middle.

I had rataouille on its own in the end. Couuldn't find any cous-cous, already had rice today and only yuck bread. ,

Therefore, I will shortly have a raspberry yoghurt with a hot cross bun! And watch masterchef. I love it even though it is crap.

There was someting in the news about kelp recently. I think it stops you from absorbing so much fat.

Apparantly spots have nothing to do with what you eat. Depending on where you get spots, depends on what the problem is. Spots around the jawline (what I get) are to do with hormones. Sorry, but I don't know much else

Do you need to exfoliate? I have a greasy t-zone so I find exfoliating is a MUST.

STOP! Guad kelp is very dangerous - the daily mail said so - - look, v. dangerous kelp

Thanks franny about the pictures.

I didn't have breakfast due to anger - i had to go into school and be cross about something, and then a meeting straight after so no time.

Yes half fat creme fraiche - it was a disappointing pie tonight. I left the potato and ate extra vegetables because of being in the zone.

ooh heck guad don't do it - you'll wake up in distressed jeggings
you see i SAID did herbalism make you thin? you were hiding it from us
you didn't want us to eat kelp and get thin as well

lemur i am really sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen
how horrid

now please correct me if i am wrong but is pikey not like saying paki or something? i could be muddled here
i know you are a nice young lady so i can't imagine you using nasty words like that!

you were v smart to take the number plate! were the police impressed?

boco sorry you had to be cross
perhaps it will be good for your metabolism

i have a poxy headache
have taken paracetamol so is partly ex headache but i can feel it lurking
ds2 has a runny nose cold, so i think i am getting it

i don't exfoliate
the spots are under my mouth and they aren't whitehead ones
they crop up all the time and then disappear and pop up the other side
i have never had a spotty chin since i was a teenager, it is annoying

Well, a pikey is not a paki. But it's really not a nice word to use

In a very loose and vague explanation.... you get Romany gypsy's who are travellers and get on and do their thing without bothering anyone. Then you get pikeys who call themselves travellers but they're parasites who go round stealing things and generally ripping people off.

I know I have a huge great brush here that I am tarring people with, but I am v , and I'll probably apologise tomorrow for being v rude!

I also had a really good ID of the two blokes as I just knew there was something up. The police were impressed

I hate headaches, they make me v grumpy. Have an early night (once you've exfoliated of course!), that always works for me.

Are the spots the horrible red ones that don't have a head at all? I bloody hate those ones.

Have you tried dabbing tea tree on them before you go to bed? Mind you tea tree don't 'alf whiff so your dp may not be so pleased

Or toothpaste? Putting it on the spots before you go to bed can often work.

Just don't forget to wash it off before you go out the next day

A proper Romany gypsy came to my door the other week and asked me to buy some lace, and I didnt' have any money, so she asked for a cup of tea instead, which I gave her, and she told me my fortune.

She said that I'd have a nice shiny blue car soon, that i'd move from this house the 9th year after I moved in, that i will never be rich, that one of my children is shy and she'll be a musician, and that dp was very old fashioned. When i frowned at that one she said 'well, he hates the microwave!' which is true She said that i'd have another baby next year, but seeing as how dp has just been vasectomised, things set to get VERY exciting next year!

Anger is v. good for weight loss Franny. As is anxiety and misery. Happiness and contentment and boredom all v. bad for weightloss.

oh i disagree you see
i get fat when i am miserable / stressed (comfort eating and i kind of vegetate when depressed)
when i am happy i just fly along and get thinner

they are little bright red spots, not the big under the skin ones
they look like they have a head but if you squeeze them it doesn't work

i must go to bed

right last night went a bit wrong
i had the uber salad which was immense and really filling
then i opened my graze box because i wanted the fresh fruit and i thought it would go off otherwise
then being a twit i ate the whole thing - i mean it was healthy stuff but i wasn't actually hungry, so it was stupid
THEN i was sorting out easter crafts for today as we have this big home ed meet
i am doing baskets with chocolate chicks in
so i was 'sorting out' the chicks
well some of them were cracked -honestly - so i ate them
probably about 5 of them
they were only little but still

you can come and chastise me now

Avi sorry have missed all your news - are you moving? Did you sell your house? Where are you going?

I have lost weight! From my FINGERS fgs. Nowhere else. But i have 2 rings and they keep slipping off, when a week ago they fitted fine. Why would I lose weight only from my fingers? Maybe because my main exercise is typing

muesli
juice
