The General Diet & Emotional Support Thread

Sorry just needed to post something else, my post count was on 666 and it freaked me out:eek::eek::eek:

Foxy - your post made me chuckle!

I thought I'd say cheers for everyone who's on this thread as you all (much to your suprise I'm sure) have just ensured that my lunch consists of a bar instead of a scrummy egg and cress sarnie with crisps! I was so tempted, then remembered this thread and decided that I do want to achieve my goal!

So ta very much - am now enjoying a meal replacement choccy bar and an Earl Grey instead of much fat and calories!

That is soooo true, I am exactly like that, if i give in and eat something naughty then I just think 'sod i've blown if or today so may as well eat a ton more carp' . Why do we have this mentality? That's why I am torn between doing LC or calorie counting, but think LC will give quicker results.

Anyone got any good ideas for what I can have for my breakfast that is low carb?
I eat at my desk (tut tut) and have been eating a nutri grain bar which obv isn't low carb so need a replacement? It literally needs to be quick and easy for me to to as well and not something that is cooked?
I am stumped

Lidl's big tub of greek yoghurt is v good at something like 2.3g of carbs per 100g. It's like Total but muchmuch cheaper. Mixed with some raspberries/blueberries and a bit of splenda if they're sour.

Not sure what facilites you have but I used to have this, with frozen berries -blast in the microwave for a minute to make them squidge out juice, add yog and mix, then some flaked almonds on top. Really nice. if you mix in some splenda its a bit like bakewell tart (only a bit...)

Well my day is Ok so far! It's good to read all the funny and motivational threads on here!

I'm in a bit of a blue today because my boyfriend and I are going through a really rough patch. My goal today is not to go straight for the chocolate if I feel sad! I have scallops, purple sprouting broccoli and mushrooms for tea and then I'll make up some sugar free jelly for tomorrow.

your dinner sounds lovely spugz

well of to face the scales of doom and join SW in a while - never been to a fat club before so am not sure what to expect !!

Well.......so far so good:T

I had muesli for brekkie, then a banana for snack then salmon, bean and potato lunch with a fizzy drink and hoummus with ccucumber and pitta bread for tea. This may not sound mega low fat but I can't eat sweetener stuff and believe me when I say that this is the least amount of food i have had in a day for years!!!!!:eek:

There are still 2 big chocolate bars in the cupboard calling to me but I am resisting:p (did consider feeding them to the kids so I didn't cave in but thought that would ,ake me a bad mommy:o)

Have saved myself a banana for tonight when I know I will be craving something sweet.:D
I don't like the taste of plain water so tend to drink squash or fizzy water aswell

Big cheers for all those who are really trying to make the effort :T (That's not me btw I'm nowhere near 'there' yet.)

In fact I'm just back from Morrisons where I picked up a ready meal for me and daughter.....and several bottles of fruity cider that was on offer so it would have been ungrateful of me to refuse.

Son is away right now and OH is on back shift which means it's just the 2 of us and it hardly seems worth cooking, especially when 'that time' is approaching rapidly and I'm best just sat on the couch out of harms way.

sistercas

found you

nice one Alias liking the thread ,

still Icing ( in a fashion ) had beefburger , onions and a couple of hm chips for tea followed by sf jelly and cream

I do enjoy LCarbing as diets go , it helps to keep my blood sugar stable but when I do it properly I have so much more energy . like Alias totm takes its toll and I cant keep off the carbs then , but I am still losing weight ( slowly) so i am happy to to my own version of lcarb.

Elfen I like your signature , that dr who episode is one of my favourites :T

:T thanks for that, see I am so un-creative, I am going to write a menu of different things I can have and pin it up in the kitchen so I can't cheat.

My OH brought a wispa choccy bar home from work before:eek: he said he doesn't want me to lose weight he loves me as I am, bless, but why do men get paranoid? Do they think we will run off an leave them with our new figures and confidence?

I want to do low carb as I have PCOS and it is recommended for that, esp if you are trying to conceive (which I am).

Goin to start going the gym again when I get paid at the end of the month, I am looking forward to it (bet that doesn't last long though:rotfl:)
