BigMothers Week 2

[WigWamBam]

New week, new thread ... here's to another great week this week!

Thanks folks

Hmmm OK, I'll weigh in the morning and let you know....

Hurrah NAAM, brave girl!

WWB - that sounds OK I may try it though the bit of recipe for avocado made me laugh

"For the avocado:
2 avocados, halved and stoned "

as opposed to ... apricots?

Do I have a wierd sense of humour?

The book I got that from should have been entitled Cooking for Dummies, I think! Blame Phil Vickery, it's one of his!

arfy...do you still think you might be pg?

don't know
think I'm just having a late period unfortunately (hasn't really arrived yet though - just a tiny, tiny spot). Something's funny though!

I'm not doing that well this week - I think I may find my weight stands still. I did think I'd do a semi-fast today, just drinking fruit juice, but have already had 3 apples and a banana, so may have to delay semi-fast till Monday. The other thing is that I've got some work to get done at home, and I'm making myself sit indoors until it IS done. It's easier not to eat when I'm in the gym!

Arfy, I know how you feel, I've got no period and my coil's decided to pop out so I'm just waiting to see if I'm pregnant......might have to have a bit of comfort choc

Tell me not too!!!! I have no will power!!!!!

Don't do it, Rosebea!. I've had a disastrous evening - couldn't be bothered to cook, so DH brought home McDonalds. Including McFlurry. Did try to go easy on it all, in the spirit of my 'eat what you want, but don't eat all of it' plan. Have been mostly succeeding, so am going to try not to beat myself up about it, but just start again tomorrow (well, immediately, but not planning to eat anything else tonight).

OOOooh Jackie you are naughty! I'm telling!!! That's far far worse than my tiny small little twirl (sat on kitchen side winking seductively at me ) I feel positively saintly now!(smug face)

(whispers) How yummy was the maccies though????

See - that made you feel better, didn't it? Yes, it was very yummy, but almost as good was the fact that it involved no cooking and minimal clearing up afterwards. I love Twirls. Could you just have half of it (I know I couldn't) and save the rest for another day? Or do something else to treat yourself first - maybe have a bath, and then if you still feel like it, have some choc? Good luck, whatever you decide!

15s 7 yesterday morning so put on 2 pounds, which I have to say I can't really grumble about. Could have been worse

well I think I'm definitely not pregnant now
so no excuse not to attempt to diet now. bah

I've been picking today - it was dd's birthday party this afternoon so there were stacks of crisps, little cakes, crackers and things. I've tried not to go too mad but have been nibbling. And all the while I was imagining you lot standing behind me, looking stern and wagging your fingers at me! Didn't stop me picking but now I feel really guilty because I've been doing so well up until now.

Ah well, you have to have a treat every now and again - I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I do. Probably because I can't control myself - I didn't have to pick at the crisps, I wasn't hungry, but I sometimes get this craving just for something in my mouth and I eat and eat. There are still crisps and things in the kitchen and it's really eating at me that they're there. It's the kind of stuff that normally I don't have in the house because once it's within reach I just eat and eat and eat until it's gone.

I have to be really strict about not finishing up what the kids won't eat, WWB. It's really hard, especially when you have to chuck stuff away. We now have a mountain of over-ripe bananas - I bought loads to tide me over, then found out how calorific they are (110 cals per banana) and so have been staying off them! Will the kids eat them? Will they hell!

Luckily most of the stuff is meatified so dh and dd will finish it off over the next day or two ... but I think the crisps and cakes should go in the bin really because otherwise I know who'll have them

Can you make some banana cake with your glut of bananas ... or would you just end up having to eat that as well??

Yes, sling them in the bin WWB (I know I'm not exactly in any position to give advice, given my appalling meal choice yesterday, but still). I had to do that with the remains of a chocolate sponge earlier this week - it kept calling to me. I did resist buying any Krispy Kreme doughnuts today .

Definitely bin 'em WWB

If they're not there they can't tempt you

So did ya? Did ya? Did ya bin them WWB? C'mon 'fess up...

Krisy Kreme doughnuts are spawn of the devil and should be banished from this fair land immediately, IMHO.

I binned them

Yay - well done WWB. I made banana muffins this afternoon, and my DH had left most of one, as he had to dash off. Just sneaked a bit, but managed to throw the rest away - it was pure greed, and I'll have to do supper soon.

Noooooo...evil bananas - I ate 6 of them, intending it to be a banana-and-fruit-juice-only day, but cracked after swearing (loudly and badly - the F word) in front of ds' new, churchgoing friend and generally feeling sh*te. So I have had some protein too, and am now 60 calories over today's quota. Oh well. Weekends are hell for me, so semi-fasts at the weekend are a crap idea really.

I just ate a Krispy Kreme donut...

Now they really are the work of the devil...

I just don't get the fuss about Krispy Kreme. When they first opened a shop at Canary Wharf I avoided them for ages because I'd heard they were really good and I thought I'd be addicted, but one day I cracked and bought one and I thought it was horrible. They're much too sweet and have a nasty texture, mind you I've never liked doughnuts much anyway.

Is everyone doing well? I've been trying to avoid this thread as I've had a chocolatey weekend, mostly because dh is away so I can. I will strengthen my resolve next week, but I won't go hardline until after I've been for an interview for a new job on Wednesday as snarling, growling and being angry with the world generally is not the best attitude at an interview.
