Hagsnet - the crepey quiche

[saggarmakersbottomknocker]

Over here all you 40s and fading!

protein

cereal? I have oatso simple or weetabix in the morning.

Hi again, love the title!! So back from four days eating fat filled breakfasts camping in Suffolk. As ever diet went peat tong. Some exercise walking round castles and the like. Wind blown, sun burnt kissed skin. Camp fire smoked hair... Luckily DH loves the outdoorsy me!!!
Planning egg and chips for tea. Fridge is mostly empty...
So new leaf turning over tomorrow. Still awaiting shred DVD. May have to resort to Hannah Waterman again. If I find time as have washing MOUNTAIN to climb...

I have to do low GI diet, the only cereal low on the GI scale is Special K and wheaty/ bran stuff which i don't like.

fussy mare

eggs are low GI AND Proteinous

I love eggs but I have to have bread to feel me up I even buy the soya Burgen loaf, and I don't like bread with bits in it

you have to wean yourself off it if you don't want a fat arse

I am a walker not a runner. Bread makes me fat full stop but I sometimes (pmt) have to have it. Easy once you get going to stop it though. We have a fridge full of bbq party type leftovers and it has been v hard to look past tehm to the nice ham

But it's sugar free and everything Too late about the fat arse, I put 2 stone on since september, apparently my body doesn't convert insulin to energy so then it turns to fat, and my body then makes more insulin and so on....

Do any of you fellow hags suffer with worse acne than during your teenage years?

I have found that upon turning 40 my skin believes itself to be back in 1984 and is riddled with acne-type spots of mammoooth proportions, coinciding nicely with my period which makes me feel tres attractive . I never really had spots this bad as a teen. Clearly hormonal link due to time they appear. Anyone else a fellow sufferer and, if so, what are you using on your skin to deal with it?

God coco what a bummer. Isn't there anything your doctor can do to help with that?

agree with Cornsilk that protein is the way forward for bread avoidance. Tis the only way I can wean myself off when necessary and not feel weak and feeble.

No, just got to eat low sugar/carbs, I can stop this but couldn't (obviously) if I took diabetes. I wish I had found out sooner, I've be running to the Drs with absolute exhaustion, and weight gain, and we were presuming it was my thyroid.

BTW acupuncture is good for wonky hormones.

apologies for Cyb

thanks for tip on acupuncture and hormone issues Coco. I prefer a natural remedy wherever possible. Haven't had acupuncture since trying to get labour started with DS2 (which was successful) so will give it a go.

Had a momentary panic when I saw that the other thread had filled, and then saw Hagsnet

Went on a hilly walk with friends today and charged ahead all the time - legs feeling it now!

somebody needs to invent calorie free bread. Never mind all this silly hadron collider business.

coco feeling satisfied after a more proteiny meal doesnt feel the same as feeling 'full up' from stodge

its a weird feeling but you do get used to it. Its nice not to feel bloaty

I look awful in all outfits/lights/seasons/circumstances, can I join?

I looked acceptable attractive until I had a baby. I'm going to sue her when she's old enough.

Great name saggar, are you from Stoke?

Having tea now, 2 hard boiled eggs and nice ham.
I'm so good.

May I join you? I look like I have Terminal Acne on my chin and appear to be growing a beard (4 bristly hairs that weren't there yesterday). I sneezed really suddenly earlier and a little bit of wee came out.

Should I a) embrace my spots and beard or b) nick DD1's spot cream and pluck and c) buy a packet of Tena Lady and dress in beige polyester or d) do my pelvic floor exercises and buy some new jeans?

Am 46.

Spots on your chin is hormones.

ohhh I forgot to say< I had a dream the other night and in it I had 3 long, blonde hairs growing out of my left nipple. When I went to investigate they were like bristles from a brush

It's this threads fault.
