I have the weirdest craving for wedges... again. Made some yesturday but just HAVE to have some again. arrgggghhhh, I think I'm gonna compromise and not fry them first but just put in oven...... tell me to oven them, please!!

Evesmama · 01/02/2005 20:51

right champs....
get some spuds...chop them into wedge shapes(i assume you mean potato wedges and not shoes??), bung in micro wave for few mins (dependent on size of portion), then put in oven to 'cook' and go wedge like!!, make some garlic dip with a clove and some cottage cheese/v.l.f fromage frais/quark and munch your heart out

champs · 01/02/2005 21:07

lol, yep yep and yep.
I made them yesturday but fried them first before oven
Hopefully they'll taste the same or even better then I can feel virtous while eating them.
No Garlic tho makes me sick!!
funny thing about all this is that chips make me sick after just one bite, but wedges are just so wonderful to me??!!

Evesmama · 01/02/2005 21:09

woodpops · 02/02/2005 08:26

Morning all, today is D-day and tonight I will be going to tub club to see what damage I've done with my 'picking' . Hopefully it won't be too bad all my clothes are still fitting fine. I really have no idea as I threw the scales away before I started the diet as I would have become obsessed with weighing myself every 2 seconds. We'll have to see.

Evesmama · 02/02/2005 08:28

good luck woodpops, im sure you'll be fine

woodpops · 02/02/2005 08:37

Already sorted my lightest clothes out to wear

Evesmama · 02/02/2005 08:38

just shave you body and go au naturel

woodpops · 02/02/2005 09:15

I might go and have a couple of inches cut off of my hair!!!!

PuffTheMagicDragon · 02/02/2005 09:40

Good luck woodpops, even if you have put on weight, it's not irreversible! There's bound to be a "settling down" period for your body now that you are re-introducing solid food.

You have done so well.

Thanks everyone. I've now accepted the fact I will have gained. At the end of the day sh*t happens doesn't it. It'll go again. I can see the next few weeks being a bit of a yoyo.

handlemecarefully · 02/02/2005 10:25

Ah - have found you thanks to Woodpops tip off.

Woodpops good luck with you weigh in....
