@swampytiggaa well done on getting it off quickly. I WISH I'd tackled the weight gain when it first started.
@Puffalicious I'm not a footy person but national pride and all that was a good result don't worry too much about the spring rolls
@SunshineCake so sorry you're feeling so low, hope the chat with a friend helped, I have a similar friend and frankly not only has she kept me sane at times she's kept me alive! True friends are the ones you can call at 2am saying "I desperately need help" and they listen. Forever grateful to her for that. Not something I have done often maybe 2 or 3 times in 20 odd years of friendship. Glad to be able to return the favour for her (slightly different reasons) at a later point in the friendship that's how life goes
Are you getting medical support? No need to answer but if you're not consider it and if you are maybe ask for an increase in that support at this time. I'm shouting at mine at the moment (figuratively speaking)
@fat13 we all have wobbles (it's why we're here 
) no need to stress about it this was me last week. Draw a line under it and move on.
I'm back "on it" and averaging 500 cals "saved" per day, hoping that will result in a loss come thu.
Weirdly I say I don't do intermittent fasting but I do it unconsciously really as my motivation is very poor. I really have to work hard to motivate myself to cook rather than just eating grab and go foods.
Lockdown is actually what stopped me doing this as it became hard to get hold of the foods I had been living on - pot snacks, ready meals, ready to eat pies/quiche/"sausage" rolls type things
I'm cooking now and eating more healthily.
Just as a wee overview
Thu - not great but not awful. Pot pasta, Quorn sliced fillets, celery and reduced fat houmous, crackers and cheese. That's all I had that day as was still struggling emotionally
Fri - lunch - Quorn sausage rolls and salad, melon and grapes pot
Dinner - big salad with a little grated mozzarella and salad dressing bread on the side (not buttered I'm fine having it like that with salad)
Sat - lunch - salad, melon and grape pot, muller light choc pot
Dinner - fresh filled pasta, with veg and a little pesto and grated mozzarella, banana
Today so far - lunch - cheese and cucumber sandwiches, salad, melon, kinder milk slice
I've switched to sugar free juice but have a fat free actimel daily. Otherwise I drink (admittedly bottled as I like it really chilled) water.
I think the other thing that buggered me last week was running out of fruit (the fruit I ordered was "unavailable") - partly as it fills my sweet stomach at least partially, partly as...delicately put here...it slowed my system down iykwim? I need the fibre!
So hopefully this week I'll do better.
I have in melon, grapes, bananas and apples. Carrots and celery for snacking.
Was watching a film last night and instead of my usual crisps I did my "salt n shake carrots" this is something I came up with when doing ww years ago. I read an article which said the craving for crisps and similar salty snacks was 2 fold - crunch and salt! So I get a few handfuls of carrot sticks (or celery or cucumber or pepper) pop in a food bag, grind in some garlic grinder then twist the top of the bag and shake so the grinder flavouring gets distributed.
Result - a crisp "substitute"
Sometimes only crisps will do but the above works a lot of the time.
Might work for others who are crisp lovers?
Anyway, onwards and inwards you lovely losers!
