not to mention massive amounts of sugar :eek:

you could try cold fruit tea as a replacement?



I doubt it - they're certainly banned on the IPD. They're full of artificial sweeteners that your body can't handle. again, the cold fruit tea may help.

they are making me feel a bit sick i think i cant handle to many sweetners so ill try that fruit tea but is there any fructose in them. Thanks:T

not on the ones i have (i have loads of different flavours too)

try to major on drinking water, and just have the odd glass/cup of fruit tea/decaff tea or coffee with cream through the day

(I generally have coffee with breakfast, and 1 or 2 cups of fruit tea in the afternoon with 2ltrs of water in between)

no, and i wouldn't believe it (especially as it probably has caffeine in it)

just trust in the diet hon

Morning all
Feeling very flat today - youngest daughter off on school trip & didn't get to sit next to her friend on the coach so she looked really upset . Sat next to a boy she doesn't know & the journey is a good few hours to get to the ferry so she not a happy bunny . I know what she's like & I think she will be upset the whole way which obviously upsets me too . Just hope it doesn't spoil her trip . Have been texting each other & I trying to perk her up so hope she ok. Going to be a long few days .
Anyway, my menu for today
B - blues/rasps & cream
L - salad
D - not sure yet

Hiya!

I am trying not to think so much about food. I've never dieted before to lose weight and I think I'm thinking about food too much.

Will stay low carb but try to do it without eating as much.

Got some celeriac yesterday. Has anyone a tried recipe for wedges? I have heard that mash made with this can be a bit slimy :eek: so need to do something else with it

Have a good day, all!

stacey as tink says i would avoid diet coke and bear in mind the body burns alcohol befor it burns fat even if that alcohol is zero carb, well done on the other changes tho am sure uwill notice more of a difference as days go on

aww sweet i am sure she will be fine.. u will be worried and she will have a great time, aint that the roll of mums!!

mercy i havent tried the mash with celeriac but roasted it in oven like spuds and it was quite nice and the rosti was pretty good too (grate it and fry).. try adding a few spices to it to perk it up a bit

no gym today so halo not so shiny lol cos am off to acupuncture/chiropractor for my back treatment!!!

speak later be good!!

Thanks daisy, just had text to say they swapped places at service station so she feels a lot happier & so do I!!:D I have to admit shedding a few tears this morning, she looked so upset, I'm such a wuss. I'm really glad they were allowed mobiles otherwise I'd have been fretting for the next 5 days!! She's only 11, she will be 12 on Sunday so will miss her birthday here but I've sneaked a bday card in her suitcase with a heart-shaped box of ferrero rocher as she loves them, should be a nice surprise for her.:D
Hope your daughter has a great time in Cyprus, hopefully weather will be warmer than Paris, it's forecast snow there tomorrow!!
