    Morning all!

    Am off to work soon till 10pm tonight so am taking some food with me.

    B - 2 weetabix and a sml slice of toast and a banana(was starving:D )

    L - roasted veggie cous cous and tinned skinless boneless salmon

    D - parsnip and leek crumble with a jacket spud

    ( I bought the crumble from a food stall at a market and its delicious - parsnips, leeks and a cheesy sauce with a crumble containing seeds on top - probably not low fat but you dont need a big portion and its really yummy)

    snacks - grapes, banana, yoghurt

    hope you're all doing well, will pop in tonight to catch up x

  • Well done Taplady! :j
    The parsnip and leek crumble sounds scrummy!

    Today-

    B- Bagel with low fat spread
    L- Probably ham salad sandwich or beans on toast and a muller light
    D- HM pizza and chips
    S- Maybe 2 plums or Mcvites low fat slices.

    Is there a certain time of day that is best to weigh yourself? :confused:

    I always weigh first thing in the morning after visiting the loo. That is when you will weigh the least!:D

    Hi Guys,

    I'm feeling a bit funny :sad: ~ my boss told me this afternoon that she could tell I'd lost weight. She said she could see it on my face and that my trousers were not so tight on my legs. It was said with the best of intentions because she is lovely, and we've chatted about it all (she knows I have issues :rolleyes: ) but I feel really upset.

    When someone says something complementary about how I look when I'm thinner it just makes me think "oh right you thought I looked auful before then" :o and I feel SO embarrassed and ashamed. She made a point of saying my trousers didn't look so tight , so all I keep thinking now is that everyone must have thought how tight they looked before and how fat my legs were. Which is true because they were.

    I was thinking of going to M&S at the weekend and buying a new pair of trousers in a size 16 because I'm sure they would fit now (the 18's are too loose). I know they will be a bit 'snug' for a few weeks til I loose some more and so now I'm not sure that I want to. That's the problem with bloody eating dissorders ~ everyone can see and nothing is private! :mad:

    I guess it's just tough poo as there is nothing AT ALL I can do about it so I really should just stop moaning and hop off shouldn't I?...........................

    Frogga....you are doing really well and need not take your boss' remarks as anything other than what they were...a compliment you silly frog! I wish that I could fit into size 18 trousers let alone 16...don't buy anything yet, give it till end of April and then you should be good to go for the summer!

    congratulations to all who are losing, not doing really well, not weighing until last Friday of month.....Oh carp, that's to-morrow, well we'll see.

    Today I have eaten:

    2 sausages, 2 rashers, half fried potatoes, 3 slices toast with butter and marmalade, coffee, large tinned peach. Think that was breakfast and lunch really and a big one at that.

    Dinner will be chicken leg, roast veg and potatoes, 1 small brownie and 2 kiwi fruit, and lots of water

    Good luck all
