Hi all,
Glad I'm still here today, had one of those scary moments this morning when I was on my own in the house and accidentally inhaled some of my breakfast. The harder I coughed the further it went down so I had that sinking feeling my time was up! After a fraught few minutes it shot out of my nose so I'm here to tell the tale
B: 2 slices wholemeal toast (minus the nose piece)
L: Leftover veggie lasagneHM Chicken fajitas (lots of griddled peppers and onions in mine with only a little soured cream and guacamole)
S: Probably not much today, too busy0 -

My name is Floyd and I'm addicted to food.....it seems the binge demons are still there, they have just been silenced for a long time.
Got really hungry late yesterday afternoon but didn't have any healthy snacks in work and as I knew I was going home in an hour I didn't think there was any point in going out to buy anything. But, I started getting the shakes and feeling wobbly so I ate a packet of Christmas tree chocolatesso the old guilt shame monster kicked in and I went to the vending machine and bought a bag of Monster Munch and a bag of Hula Hoops.
I will never understand why I continually feel the need to 'punish' myself with food, why couldn't I have 1 or 2 chocolates to stop the hypoglycemia enough to get me home to my lovely roast dinner, why did I feel the need to hide the evidence and lie to OH about why I didn't finish my dinner?
Forget it and move on, try to shut the door on the beastie once more
B: Bagel with cream cheese
L: ScouseWholemeal spaghetti zucchini with a big salad
S: A small skinny latte and fruit
NO MORE CHOCCIES0 -

L: veggie soup
S: mandarinchicken and tomato pasta with mushrooms and courgettes, cauli and broc! with a little low sugar ice cream afterward

morning!
Floyd - hope you banish the monster! x
Prettypaula - I made mushroom risotto last night, its dead easy
I fried the mushrooms and onions in a little oil or frylight if your prefer until softened then add the risotto rice for a couple of minutes then put chicken stock in and leave to bubble away - stirring it often and topping up the liquid - it takes a lot of liquid as it evaporates.I find it takes about 20 mins until the rice is cooked properly.Season it and I sprinkle a little grated cheese on top of mine. Its one of my favourite dishes.
Got on the scales this morning and by some miracle they say I've lost a bit more - proper weigh in tomorrow.
Food today
B - boiled egg and toast(ww bread)
L - mushroom soup with ryvita thins(type of crispbread with seeds)
D - quorn bolognaise
