Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

Skintslimmer

Because we have quite a few active members now, i wondered if you could suggest me some foods to graze on while I am studying?

This is my mega huge, in flashing lights danger zone I have beenk known to absolutely TROUGH my way through crisps, chocolate, you name it I've shoved it down my gob whilst at the computer. I used to go out and spend £££s on a bag full of junk food every day At least I can't do that now I can't drive

Obviously this is going to change now. I can't decide whether to try not eating for the sake of it (because thats what this is) or to go all out eating all I want as long as its free. I'm thinking Soup, soup soup, and fruit fruit fruit. But has anyone any other suggestions?

Many thanks

skintslimmer - If you want sweet stuff how bout sugar free jelly? It's 0.5syns per quarter of a sachet made up, enough for a bowlful

I top mine with a tbsp of LF creme fraiche for 1.5syns - yum!

Other than that think batons/crudities of veg and free dips, or hard boiled eggs? 'picky' fruit like grapes/berries etc too

carrot
cucumber
peppers
fruit
pot of pasta salad
cereal bars (HEB)
frozen frubes (1.5 syns)
muller lights (not very snacky though)
mini milks (2 syns)
Ham rolled up with dairylea or equiv

thats all I can really think of at the moment hehe.


Just been out for a nice hour long walk around so I'm pleased with that. No syns eaten so far today and I'm cooking for myself for dinner so I can have whatever I want! Looking forward to it.

Sole user. *eyes up dettol with a meaningful look*

Thanks for all the suggestions. I shall save them and use them for my ultra prepared-ness shopping list. I am being forced to be organised enough to do a shop which will last a week or longer - unheard of for me, but its what I need to do when i'm back home and sainsburys deliveries are the only source of groceries

In the meantime I shall continue to raid the parent's fruit basket :rotfl:

The new centre piece of my table is a massive tower of grapes to replace the snowman that was there before - have been to Sainsburys and stocked up on lots of fruit/salad/vege.

But oh dear we are having a takeaway meal tonight - Indian so I will have vege/channa rogan josh and boiled rice and a side salad - luckily had no syns so far so that will cover the curry - not having any synful additions like nann/pappadoms/beer.

Only had 1 glass of wine last night - really thought I would miss the booze but don't since cutting down 90% on it when I joined SW.

Expectin one more gain week as swapping from a mornign weigh in to an evening one then it needs to be a loss every week again after that!

In the days I used to do SW we'd call that a purple day! (I'm going back 11 years when I joined at 17 and we only had red/green days) Gonna have to get me some books to refresh my memory and learn about EE me thinks. Did buy the mag today and plan to read from cover to cover tonight

Hope to see everyone there soon. I will try and get this one locked so we don't have two running at once if I can get one of the moderators to do it.
