@ginsparkles habit is definitely a factor in eating too much it's something I struggle with - the boredom aspect - find something to do with yourself that you can't eat at the same time. As I say for me it's cross stitch, my mum knits and my aunt crochets, an uncle does jigsaws (he's quite anti the idea of getting the pieces greasy or crumb covered)
@Recycledblonde I wish they had smaller portions in restaurants too i find that hard to deal with. If it's a place that does childrens portions or even oap portions (where I live some do that) then that's what I'll order. Not everywhere does. One Italian place I go to the idea is it's kinda like tapas where you order a little taste of everything, they suggest 3-4 dishes per person but I just get 1-2 and that suits me fine.
@cherrytree63 that's tricky (the Martyr mode thing) but maybe point out to him it's not actually helpful? That you appreciate the intent but you genuinely want a smaller portion/to serve yourself?
@ImALittlePea welcome - mfp watch the accuracy on that, check that the items you're logging have accurate cal counts I've found it can vary wildly
Wed - day out I find this SO tricky!
Can anyone help me work out calls roughly for the following?
Costa - vegan ham and cheeze toastie (loving they have more veggie/vegan stuff now) wee pack of shortbread (I seem to remember their shortbread is one of their lower cal cake options as I remember this is what I used to choose on ww)
Italian place I like - burrata salad, small veggie pizza (I'd say size of smallest one dominos does) cheesecake and scoop of ice cream - not a chain place so I struggle to work out cals.
Thursday - I know cals here
Brunch - 3 eggs scrambled with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and basil mixed in
Dinner - treated myself to ready meals this week due to new microwave but know I need to be careful on this. Was a lentil and pasta bolognese type thing which I had with a large side salad made of spinach leaves, mushrooms, tomatoes and a little sweetcorn with some very low cal balsamic dressing (Tesco it's yum and v low cal!), grapes and choc pot (muller light layers is what I mean here)
Supper (as I'd had a brunch and not separate breakfast and lunch) a few cheese thins (Tesco version of "cheddars" topped with quorn deli slices and cottage cheese, 1 pack french fries crisps and one pack Tesco sweet and salty popcorn
So came in within cals yesterday
Todays menu plan is :
Breakfast - tea and toast (2 sm slices wholemeal toast with small amount of low sugar jam)
Lunch - soup and bagel
Dinner - vegetable stir fry (still got loads of mange tout and baby corn to use up! Plus the rice from the other day)
I'm also back to having my Actimel which helps reduce bloat and indigestion for me.
Well done to all with losses
I've hopped on and I'm +1lb 
but hoping over the week I can sort it out for a loss or at least a STS, I'd be happy with a STS just don't wanna go over 13 stone again!
Got a busy day chore wise tomorrow so hoping that'll burn some Cals too - I whack the radio on full blast and have a wee dance between "stages" 
it stops my back getting too sore and keeps my legs working as they should
