Thanks taplady, that's great advice.
Is there anything low cal/fat that you can chew on, as that tends to be a big problem for me - needing to keep my mouth full?

Sounds like a good day of food, keep it up!:)

I tend to use sugar-free gum (Orbit spearmint is my preferred kind). However, it can give you the runs if you take too much!! :rolleyes: I too knit at night...it fairly stops the munchies (well, most of them). I am busy making lots of gilets for family and friends, and scarves with the left-over balls, all Christmas presents.

WI today...I forgot over the weekend, and I have STS..:mad:. Mind you, considering what I have been eating the past week (TOTM), especially this weekend - had a birthday meal out, and lots of cake!

I suppose I shouldn't grumble...I haven't gained anything after all!. I will have to lose 2 pounds this week to catch up on the "losing 7 pounds before Christmas" plan!! So no twinks hob-nobs (chocolate!), buns or mini-mars-type for the rest of this year, well....not as many!!

Food for today:

B: Porridge made with soya milk and raisins; OJ
S: chewing gum...so far!
L: HM soup, HM bread, banana
S: chewing gum?
T: Smoked haddock poached in milk; potatoes & veg
S: Chewing gum

At least that is the plan!! Must make more SF jellies with fruit added, I make four servings, in Easiyo tubs with screw-lids, so I can take one if I go out...better for me than succumbing to chocolate!

Have a good day folks

Aargh, having real problems previewing this post, here's hoping I can submit it now!

taplady

keiss - good suggestion about the sugar free jellies:T

other snacks I sometimes have are grapes - quite often take a tubful in the car to nibble on, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks(maybe a bit of lowfat hummous although not a fan myself) I find Walkers french fries are great as they take ages to nibble and are quite low cal for crisps. I also carry something in my bag in case of a munchie attack - small apple or a few raisins or a cereal bar like alpen light.

I do mention WW points on here in my posts and I am aware that it's not OS but it's the only thing that's worked for me in years. I've tried dieting myself at home and I lose the willpower after about a month as I have issues with eating when I don't actually feel hungry!! I feel spending £17 a month on WW is ok for me and whilst I try to follow a OS way of life, it's not worth making myself unhappy

My weekend was hit and miss. Went to the cinema on Friday night and the lure of the pick and mix proved too much and I ended up feeling sick afterwards Had some HM soups at the weekend to try and balance it all out!

Today:

breakfast - yogurt
lunch - soup and yogurt
dinner - chicken and chorizo chickpea stew (chicken left over from weekend soups)
snack - small piece of rocky road for someone's birthday in the officer (HM too!)

I see it's a couple of days since I posted. Not beeen toooooo bad. Parents here so slightly different meal regime.

Friday we had main meal soup followed by plum gingerbread pud & custard. I didn't have a massive helping. Plenty of soup and no bread.

Saturday sandwich for lunch and DH and I had a meal out in the evening. Sharing platter (not a fried one) for starter and crab/seafood ravioli for main.
Yesterday lunch was a small bacon buttie and 2 very small mince pie. Pastry shrunk! Dinner was salmon and veg. Pud was fresh pineapple and evap.

Today I had porridge for breakfast and some prunes. Lunch so far is a cuppa soup which is not nice, but no other available. It won't stop there! DS and I having left over veg plus fishcakes from LO potato and salmon.

Might get some mushrooms when I go out later and make a pot of soup, or cook with an egg for lunch. I don't feel like buying a load of salad as most would get chucked out on a week like this. No shopping planned but will seee what aldi super6 has to offer.

Hi everyone, I'm a bit of a lurker on this thread but just had to respond to this:

YES! I was out at lunchtime and fancied something a bit naughty for the afternoon and found a bag of Worcester Sauce (yum!) French Fries - at 94 calories that's about 10 or so less than the equivalent sized bag of Snack-a-Jacks, and about half that of a bag of normal crisps - I was very impressed as you may be able to tell!

In response to Steph, I try to fill up on fruit teas when I'm at work, or even a low calorie cup-a-soup if it's really bad! I know you don't chew either of those, but it might help you to feel full?

taplady

steph - also forgot to say that at this time of year I just love satsumas as a snack too! as long as they are sweet!
