O&DW FRs!

Hi all.

Wellies I'm sorry your friend was so impatient about that. Sometimes I think that people feel that their own problems are so big they can't see past them & realise that other people might have problems to deal with too. Hopefully she will thaw/apologise. If not, it doesn't sound like she's actually that helpful a person to have in your life.

Amanda Glad you're home to 'peace & quiet'!

Milly your food sounds delicious, as always.

DD appears to be teething again - her back molars this time. Not fair, she's only 19m & we can't explain to her why her mouth hurts. At least after this, there will be no more. Is it normal for their mouth to bleed when you brush their teeth when they are teething like this? It clearly hurts. Poor baby.

O&D FRs

Have been a rubbish revolutionary recently

Busy day here so can't type too much but promise to be back tomorrow!

Hope you're all ok x

Good morning everyone. Lego teething is awful. Poor DD and poor you.

[waves] Hazel. I have been rubbish too. Last night ate gammon, roast potatoes, carrots and peas. I am determined to have something vegtarian today!

DH and I are trying to be alcohol-free entirely during the week- the success has been patchy but he brought home Lambrusco. Only 4 units per bottle, so we polished that off. Yum! It felt like we were drinking something with our meal, but almost guilt free! It is sweet though, so not sure it is going to be much better for the waistline!

Me today:

B- cheerios and ss milk. (have developed a cheerio habit).
L- aiming for a simple cup of soup and a chicken and tomato sandwich, but a stressful day ahead an I do comfort eat.

D- not sure.... I need something heavy on the vegetables, but also toddler friendly. Might just do broccoli pasta with extra veg on the side.... hmmmm. [muses]

Have great days everyone!!

Hi fellow revolutionaries.
This is definitely a tricky time of year for "being good" around food.
I am going to try to substitute comfort eating for comfort drinking. But tea, or a low ish calorie coffee drink, rather than alcohol of course.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Broccoli pasta sounds good wellies I have discovered that ds seems to like a pasta bake.

Hi Ladies
Amanda that's the good thing about doing PM. I just eat whatever I want. Christmas is no different. It used to be hard when I dieted as I was always on or off a diet and beating myself up all the time and felt so bad.

me yesterday

nut granola with honey and fresh mango slices

Roast chicken, carots,peas and broccoli with port and cranberry gravy

3 Foxs chocolatey biscuits

lots of cups of tea

Today:

half a thick cut bacon sandwich with Heinz ketchup
half a sausage sandwich with said ketchup

3 squares of Cadbury fruit and nut chocolate.

apple

Homemade curry, oven baked potatoes ,popadoms, chutney.

Coke

probably chocolate but not sure yet.

Hi FRs

I've not been very good recently - still not feeling fab, so am comfort eating a bit, plus we've got a new Aldi in town, so we've been trying out all the lovely things they sell. excuses, excuses On the plus side, it's a couple of miles walk, which is decent exercise when we have to lug the shopping back in backpacks & fully laden heavy pushchair. So I'm consoling myself with that!

Sorry, can't say much, mobile site is misbehaving. O&D FRs

Hi FRs
milly your food sounds great as usual.

((lego)) poor thing. Comfort eating is a problem for me too (fo all of us at times I think, hence the usefulness of this thread). about your new aldi. Have a Lidl thought nd I love walking there to pick up bargains and delicious Christmassy treats.
Lasagne tonight.
Just had a couple of spoons of muesli.
Trying to eat mindfully. Although I would love to get one fast in before Christmas.

Hi Ladies

Hows all your Christmas shopping going? I still have another day but went out yesterday to do some. Will do the food shop in the early hours of the morning when the supermarket is empty. Lol!!!

Good idea Milly.
Nearly done. No food yet though (apart from my secret stash of turkish delight.)
I fasted on Tuesday. It was good. I'd forgotten ow much I like it tbh.
But last night I had a couple of glasses of wine to smooth the wrapping of gifts and then I gave into a bread and crisp craving

Hi FRs. Nothing much to report, just checking in. it's absolutely pelting it down outside, has been for days. I've nearly wrapped all the presents. We may have gone a bit overboard on what to buy DD. Still, hopefully more good toys = less TV watching time. (Her TV time is the main area I feel we fall down as parents.)

I almost forgot, DH has got an offer from his first choice university. Now he needs to work hard & get the good marks they have asked for. All cross your fingers!

O&D FRs

Great news lego. Well done to your DH and good luck for those grades.

Thanks Amanda. He's upstairs working on one right now. I am scoffing cheese on toast with DD!

. I love cheese on toast.
Blueberry muffin (homemade) for breakfast. Coffe. Half a banana
Eating falafel and salad in pita for lunch. (made me think of twinkle. I really hope everything's going well), a few crisps, tea.
Will have risotto for dinner.

I have resisted a couple of greedy snack temptations today (includingnot tearing a lump off a block of marzipan and cramming it into my piehole) so
I feel quite good about that

Me today

M & S YumYum and a cup of tea
one slice of bread with salty butter and a banana sliced up on it
homemade chicken curry, 3 popadoms
one Bendicks mint
one M & S mince pie and cup of tea

me.....stuffed!!

Morning! Sorry for absence. Back up to 9st 3lbs which I'm annoyed about but I'm drinking most nights, eating a lot of cheese and chocolates so I can't blame anyone but myself really!

I came off the pill at the end of last month and OMG the difference. After a week of headaches and 4 separate occasions of feeling like my left ovary was going to burst, I feel so much better. Stuff that would normally keep me awake with worry hasn't bothered me, I've stopped obsessing over my weight (buying a bigger dress for NYE may have helped with this and I'm happy. I'm 8-10lbs heavier than I'd planned to be at this time but it doesn't matter. It really, really doesn't. Admittedly it would be nice if my jeans fitted but they don't so I'll wear dresses and skirts instead

Yesterday:
B - pain au chocolat
L - mugshot
D - sausage, mash and peas
S - low fat crisps, caramel shortcake & 5 chocolates. Oh and wine.

Today:
B - pain au chocolat
L/D - spiced camembert parcels, venison, chocolate & hazelnut mousse
S - loads of wine and possibly cheese & biscuits tonight if I'm peckish

Oh yes, today is my last day at work and christmas party time. WOOHOO! We finish at 12, lunch at 1. So excited!

January is my time to start properly with the healthy eating again. I'm going to try to be reasonably sensible over Christmas because I don't really want to put on a huge amount of weight over Christmas but equally I'm not going to deprive myself. In January we start TTC so I'll be ditching the lovely gooey cheese and of course, the alcohol will go. I'm going to start exercising again too as I've really missed that. I'm completely in the mindset for it I think.

Anyone have any nice plans over the festive period?

Tomorrow is a tidy day, I think. We've just had a new boiler fitted so the house is in a bit of a state. Sunday I'm seeing my Dad, Monday out with friends. Christmas Eve we'll see friends for drinks and I'm going to the church service with other friends before back to the pub. Christmas Day at my mums and the PIL, Boxing day with friends and then it's CHILL. I will go to work over Christmas to do a stock check but apart from that I have no plans.

Sorry for being a rubbish revolutionary recently, will try harder (also sorry for the lonnnnnng post!)

xx

Great post Hazel. I'm so pleased for you to be feeling so good. And I really want some cheese and wine now.
I wish you all the best with ttc too.

milly good menu, of course.

Feeling sorry for myself as I have mastitis. So painful with flu-y symptoms. This has seriously interrupted my housework/ Christmas baking schedule
But it's had the knock on effects of bashing my appetite. Every cloud.....
B: 1 crumpet, coffee. Oh, btw. Aibu to have dropped half aforementioned jammy crumpet on the bedroom carpet because dh had secretly cut it in two? Who cuts a crumpet in half?
L: cheese and cucumber sandwich, yogurt, pear, apple.
D: nothing.
Snacks: conker- sized lump of marzipan , few cups of tea. If dd settles well I might ave a glass of wine while I wrap some presents.

Thanks Amanda ...I love food I do .

Amanda sorry about the mastitis

Wellies how's the counselling going?
Lego how's you?

Hazel glad your feeling better after coming off the pill. Those things seriously can mess with your body as they mimic the affects of pregnancy hormones I'm told.

Lego Good Luck to your DH for his grades.

Oh dear.
I have fallen down the stairs and have a big fat ankle. So no walking for me tomorrow
And someone has sent us a large tub of celebrations.
Which I have opened.
Oops!

Thanks milly
