Thread 3

Welcome one and all

Thanks for all joining in on last thread And hello to anyone new

Seeing what others eat really helps me plus gives us all ideas

I seem to stick to same thing

To us all losing weight

I've been terrible all weekend. I haven't actually eaten much but its all been junk. I've slipped back into some bad "food as stress relief" habits so I've eaten cake and chocolate today and barely touched my proper meals. Need to get a grip and stop it. Tomorrow I will behave myself and have a day that I am not ashamed to write down. Somebody shout at me if I don't please.

Awww @MrsAvocet we’ve all had those spells....I hope everything is ok, am sorry to hear you’re feeling so stressed out xx
I’m sure today will be better, but even if it isn’t, don’t beat yourself up. You’ve done so well, you’re not going to make it all unravel by eating a bit of crap every now and then xxx

We all have days /weeks like that @MrsAvocet. Don’t beat yourself up

B toast b cheese a ham eggs beans

L soup and yog 1

T steak sw chips egg veg Mayo 1

S crisps 4 bar 4.5 total 10.5

Thanks all, you're very kind.
I haven't done much better today to be honest, not sweet stuff today but far too much bread!
I'm stressed because I'm likely to be out of a job myself fairly soon and my grown up DD lost hers at the end of last week. It wasn't her dream job, just something to pay the bills whilst she finished a college course part time, and she's taken it fairly well, but its still worrying. I think I'm more upset than she is actually, though she's really worried about her friend who has 2 small children and is now jobless. I guess there's going to be a lot more of this kind of thing as Covid continues to bite unfortunately.
But foodwise I've had...
B - nothing
L - pea soup (1.5 )Cheese (HEA) and crackers (4)
D - spag bol(free)
Snacks - a lemon lolly (3) and approximately my own body weight in tiger bread (about 3 million syns)

hello all am back from a binge..

well done on the loss @Hartleyhare1206!

@MrsAvocet I'm the same as you, struggling atm especially with weekends! especially this weekend just gone, we aren't going to talk about it..

I'm going to be off again next weekend as have a family birthday and then really I do need to behave, I want to flounce around in sparkly dresses at Christmas time and not feel like a potato stuffed into sausage casing!!

L - was so busy today running about I didn't eat until 3pm and got a meal deal, chicken and bacon pasta and a brownie, not sure on the syns but it was 700 ish cals

T - lemon sole in breadcrumbs (6 syns) with reduced fat frozen chips (2 syns) and peas

will be much better tomorrow!

Weigh in tonight - another 3lbs off. Happy with that!

Thank you all. @Blondeshavemorefun - I have about another 8-9 stone to lose so certainly not putting anyone to shame 😫.

No group next week because of the bank holiday - hope that doesn’t send me off the rails!

Well despite my terrible diet this week I have lost 2lb. I'm not seeing that as an entirely good thing though as I think its been stress induced rather than a healthy loss, but I suppose better to be stressed and losing than stressed and gaining!

@MummyInTheNecropolis ooh that looks so yum! what did you put in the chicken?

@Blondeshavemorefun it looks good! was that one of the Iceland ones? I have a creamy chicken pasta one lurking in the freezer but I'm scared to try it as think it will actually be rank lol

Might have some oppo ice cream but I'm usually too full by the time I think of having anything after dinner!

@Blondeshavemorefun me too 😂 some of them are good but some things are just terrible, I tried the chip shop curry sauce once and absolutely hated it, would rather spend the 4 syns on the mayflower curry sauce!
