Haven't caught up with the thread yet, will be back to read more later. Just wanted to post that I am finally feeling a bit better, I may manage to eat sensibly today, for once in several weeks. I have a bit of energy today and feel more positive, hope it stays.

Breakfast - Yogurt, peaches and honey
Snack - fresh pineapple and flapjack.
Lunch - will be chicken soup if I make it in time
Dinner - thai red curry and noodles

Lavenderbees - I wasn't going to admit this, but just to make you feel better...
Sunday I bought a box (500g - which I worked out has about 2350cal) of Aldi chocolate crunch cereal. I finished it last night. It tastes very good straight from the box you know....

I also ate a LOT of everything else. It would have been fine if I had eaten just the cereal for two days!

Hi all
I've been awol for a bit, but I feel like I'm finally coming out of the morning sickness phase- haven't been sick since Saturday :j Starting to feel like me again! :cool: Busy weekend of family lunches etc, but my appetite has really shrunk, so I didn't eat much. DH keeps finishing my portions though, he's the one that's eating for two! :rotfl:

Hectic week ahead as I have to finish my friends' wedding cakes for Saturday, so no time for any exercise, but as of next week will attempt to go swimming 2-3 times a week.

Today:
Breakfast: 1 slice granary toast, spread, 1oz red leicester (toast and cheese sandwich, bit weird I know, but it hit the spot!)
Snack: babybel light, mr kipling angel cake slice
Lunch: ham sandwich, petit filous big pot, grapes, melon
Snack: satsumas
Dinner: grilled burger in seedy roll, sauted onions/leeks, small amount of cheese and salad

Exercise: icing 4 parts of a wedding cake! I did the marzipan/base coats last night, and I was exhausted :rotfl:

And thank you for the info on the seed sprouting. I'm looking forward to trying them. Em, but can I ask another really basic question...? where do you get the seeds from?? I've never seen them (though haven't looked properly really). Where should I be looking??

ta ever so :rotfl:

I get my seeds from the garden/diy centre, but you could probably get them cheaper - on the Sprouting Seeds thread (sorry cant do link) others had posted info on different online suppliers.

D - crevettes a l'ail, gratin d'aubergine, tarte tatin.

Oooh :drool: that sounds lovely, I love langoustine, prawns etc, just cant afford them too often.


I'm still going through a use up, rather than throw out phase so today I'm having
B - a very ripe banana on toast
L - Cold meats, potato salad, pasta salad, lettuce.
D - Ham, asparagus, poached egg.

Aye, who'd be a woman, eh? Emotional eating is the pits. V glad you're feeling more positive this morning, and the way I'm trying to look at it is that the only way is up.

Mind you, whilst my salad was absolutely delish, I've finished it in 4 mins flat...could still eat a scabby horse for lunch...:o

G'day all , late as I had to get outside while it wasn't raining

ragz pleased to hear you're feeling brighter

B - spicy porridge
D - pasta with tomato/veg sauce. Apple
T - usual 3 crackerbreads etc
S - melon, grapes, kiwi
E - Gardening so far, will try to fit in some exercise later but while it's dry I'm going to risk cutting the grass after dinner

Need2be it was good! 5 fat prawns in chilli, sun dried tomato and oil dressing with French bread - which I barely touched, just enough to mop up the oil . I like dipping oils, olives etc but when we asked for it they said they only have sunflower oil :eek:. Black mark for the 'Red Cafe'. The rest was good though and my thanks to Mr T for the vouchers..

Have a good rest of the day

Afternoon.

God how hard was it to get up this morning?! :coffee: :coffee:

My eating is back on track today but seriously, I eat badly for 2 days and my body goes completely haywire, I've undone 3 weeks of (mostly) good work and can barely fit into my jeans again! :eek: I guess once your body is used to restricted calories it bloats up a lot quicker if you have a binge.

Yesterday:
B: 2/3 of a very floury banana.
L: Margherita pizza from Franco Manca (amazing sourdough pizza)
M&S Rotisserie chicken breast with oven fries and salad.
Exercise: Navigating the horrifying Primark in Stratford Westfield for around 45mins, simply to buy OH some socks and new shorts.:mad:

Today:
B: Banana, apple
L: Half a piece of peppered mackerel with lettuce, spinach, cucumber and red pepper salad.
HM carrot and coriander soup.
S: 1 Jaffa cake, 2 salted cashews, milk for coffees and teas.
Exercise: Running, HIIT, probably for 6km, followed by upper body weights.

Thats really good news too. I'm glad you're feeling better as well. The misnamed morning sickness is awful.

Your appetite shrinking isn't a bad thing. When I was last pregnant 9 years ago, they made this big deal about how you shouldn't weigh yourself when you are pregnant and shouldn't diet. I honestly believe it was the worst food advice I have ever had. I put on so much weight in my pregnancies and it means I was massive and found it hard to run round after toddlers. Obviously you need enough nutrition but you need to keep an eye on things too.

I managed to squeeze into size 16 trousers today. OK I had a muffin top, but still with a baggy top my legs looked better.
