Big Chief Thigh Chaffe

[BupcakesAndCunting]

New thread for the hench chiefs from chat.

I can't immediately find the link but there seems to be agreement in the main on MFP that you should be eating at least your BMR, and there is a tool to calculate it on the Apps section.
On the way back from school we stopped off at Tesco and my crazy children wanted to buy ice lollies so I am now the proud owner of a future low calorie snack.

Don't give up, Bups, you obviously look different or your Mum and SIL wouldn't have saisd anything. I think it starts to get harder now as the euphoria of doing something new has been replaced by the "fuck, not another apple" feeling.
I'm signing in so I have to go and exercise, otherwise, I am going to sit wrapped up on the sofa all day eating biscuits. Now it's written here, I have to go and do something.

Can't get into my GP's for a WEEK. Cunts. It's their fault this is.

It's just so demoralising though. I'm eating salad whilst it snows. SALAD/SNOW.

FFS.

Hang on, why you need GP girlfreeeeeeeeeeen'?

Because I am sure that my anti-depressants are the reason I piled the weight on and they are the reason I can't get it off again. I need to come off them. Been thinking about it for months but this has made my mind up.

When I started taking them, I was 11st 9. I was happy at that weight. I am now..... 14st 12lbs. Can't believe I am telling people this. :( Honestly though I was shocked when I got on the scales. I knew I had put weight on. I was expecting 12st and a half maybe. I am almost the weight I was when I was pregola. This is grim. Grim grim grim. I don't look pregnant though. FFS.

Bupps, darling girl. Mental health is infinetely more important than weight gain. And you know I know about this stuff

I came off mine once. Never again. Even the memories make me cry.

Go and have a chat with the GP about maybe trying a different type - but without counselling, I wouldn't recommend anyone coming off AD's xx

This is so not dieting weather. I want crumpets and butter and mash and dumplings and ALL THE CARBS. I will be good though. Saying it out loud makes it happen, right?

I have had a massive bacon and egg butty.

A crumpet with butter would probably have been healthier.

pinot why you cry?

I lost a pound that I could record on MFP (had put 4lbs on over christmas so lost 5lbs altogether since we started)

I'm at my lightest I can ever remember being since I was 16 but still a long way to go!

lol at head tilt :o

I want to eat things covered in hot cheese! Instead I have noodle soup (which, let's face it - is fancy water).

MMM lasagne and chips and a pint of IPA.

Instead I have carrot and butterbean soup NO BREAD! + apple spice fucking tea.

Life is cruel.

Lasagne and chips. Fuck me sideways. Yes.

Where? Where's the lasagne and chips?????
Not here. Although I do have crumpets as will have 5 kids here this afternoon. And am making bread now. Uh oh. My fridge is full of soup I don't want to eat.

Anyway, I am told linseeds are fabulous, so off to asda to see if they have some.

Agree this is not dieting weather. Crap. I need beef stew and dumplings followed by treacle tart followed by cheese and biscuits washed down with a vat of wine.

Instead I have...

Quorn bolognese. No garlic bread. No wine.

Apparently there is no meat in it. .

Are we all just going to wallow in self pity today?
There must be some low calorie comfort foods? Brainstorm....

Miss Miss!

Erm, porridge?

What about baked apple with some mincemeat (if you have some left) or raisins and dates.

How about sweet potato wedges with a sprinkling of parmesan?
I make a lovely fish pie with half fat creme fraiche instead of cream or bechamel and scrunched up filo on top.
Lasagne made with alternate layers of courgettes mixed with ricotta and tomato sauce - recipe on BBC Goodfood under creamy courgette lasagne

I'll keep thinking

A spicy turkey chilli. You can just eat it from the bowl with a few crushed tortilla chips on top. Add sweetcorn, peppers and sweet potato cubes to up the veggies.

No, not really self pity, I think my body's just not quite ready to say goodbye to all the lovely carby treats I know and love yet.

If anyone has a low fat slow cooker stew type recipe and happy to share it that would be superb for this weather.

hi all

still slow here. Just looked at mfp they only predict my loss at 1 pound a week - even with 3 workouts or even 4 and 1200 cals.

Maybe because not too much to lose.

Im grinding on though
