Get well soon Sage - you’re right, the only upside is the potential of unintentional weight loss.
Good idea on the scales Pavonia I have no idea what my portion sizes are! I was shocked when I started weighing my porridge oats but soon got used to the smaller amount and realised it was enough. Back in the days when I ate porridge, of course!
Bonkersblond well done on keeping to diet, yoga and daily walks. Fingers crossed it’ll all show on the scales. If not, you have my permission to shout at them 
.
Applesandpears23 hope the no Diet Coke thing going well, nothing like a toddler demanding your food and drink to keep you on track!
Apologies for quiet spell - was manic getting ready for overnight guests who then cancelled with two hours notice 
.
I did bake a cake with the kids and did not lick the bowl or eat any! I did have a massive bowl with whipped cream, one drop of nicks stevia vanilla and nuts as a treat but to be honest it was too much.
I have stuck to plan, let me try and remind myself
Sunday
B leftover Brussels with bacon and pigs in blankets
S: decaf coffee with single cream
L: ham, cheese and mushroom omelette, with side of cucumber and the last stuffed pepperdew. Was lush
S: handful of smoked nuts
D: cheese and meat board with stuffed chillis and some salad I bloody hope
Saturday

L: plate with turkey meat, veg and stuff, OH put it together, I did take off the hummus so remember it was low carb
