Lenny v the girls (+ Z, lmw and James) challenge lose the fat and the debt

Snaggles

I need to get back on track too - I don't really know what to do to kick start some more weight loss but I like Toto's idea of having a cheat day (hellooooo Jaffa Cakes :wave:). Maybe if I do that I could cope with feeling a bit more 'deprived' for the rest of the week lol.

COME ON THE GIRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSS!!!!! :T

OK, I'm gonna write this little cos it's embarrassing. Probably doesn't belong in this thread technically, but I figured if anyone would understand it's you guys

I've been seeing this guy for a while, and it's going really well. But it's getting to the point where I really want to do *it* (god this board makes me feel like I'm 12 sometimes!) and I know he does too. But I've got a bit of a mental block about it now and it's bugging me. I'm feeling really self conscious about my body, which in this situation is fairly mental because to be perfectly honest we've done everything but... *it* so he's under no illusions that I'm hiding a good body under miles of flab and he genuinely doesn't seem bothered - in fact he's really complimentary. So how do I convince myself?? It's really making me feel down

Peach pickle I know what you're talking about! When I got with my fella last September I got myself in such a huge state...couldn't believe I had actually bagged a fella that was gorgeous as the other I had been out with had been a right bunch of mongs! I was so scared about him seeing me in the nuddie, it was awful...constantly trying to cover everything up...despite he had practically seen everything before hand. In the end I had to just think stuff it...this is me and no miracle is gonna remove all my flab and stretch marks...they are part of me...I really want to be with this guy...and when it came down to it he didn't seem in the slightest bit bothered! It is all about relaxing and just thinking yourself sexy! Be strong...you can do it! :T

Sea here's that recipe! It may need adjusting slightly quorn wise as it is meant for mince (states 454g worth) but I used about half a bag of quorn cause that was all I had in the freezer! Sure I got the recipe from this forum somewhere, but I have added one or two things!

Quorn mince
2 green peppers finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic
half tube of tom puree
one beef stock cube (made up to about 1.2 pint)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chilli powder..I used hot one
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
few dashes of tabasco
some kidney beans if you like them...I hate the things so leave them out!
1 tin plum toms which I blend first to a nice think sauce
Add some chopped jalepeno peppers too if you fancy them? I had some left from doing fajitas and they needed to be eaten!

all I do is...fry onion, garlic and pepper in frylight for a few mins, then add the toms and the stock and add all the herbs and spices followed by stirring in some mince quorn. It was delish! Good thing is too, once you have the jars of herb you can do this several times over!

Any probs/queries let me know! Now I really must get to bed! My foodies for today were, shredded wheat and coffee for brekkie, lunch was ham and cheese sandwich on wm bread no butter. Apple and banana. Alpen bar for a snack. Tea was fish with veg and potatoes done in the steamer. Not strickly SW but hey! Hope everyone is ok...sleep tight!

Hi all

Had a good day yesterday - even had maltesers but they were in my syn allowance

Feeling sooo sick today, but have had my crunchy bran and am cooking a pasta lunch for me and the kids - need to use up the sweetcorn in the fridge. Will use up the cheese triangles as well - creamy pasta - yum Feel a lot better for getting back to healthier eating - attempting to have at least 5 fruit and veg a day.

Tigtag - have you got actual stuff to work through at their house? May I recommend taking a timer with you if you have? Think I'm get addicted to this flylady stuff.

Thanks for the thoughts guys

Its all a bit complicated really - the have a house in Windsor but lots of credit including mortgage - they have no health ins and he is now on SSP only - my mum's wages have also been cut in half recently <but thats another story :rolleyes:> so the sale of the house will cover the mortgage and the debts.

They were planning to move back to Leeds anyway but of course this now puts things in a different light. He is still in hospital and it certainly wheelchair bound for the forseeable future if not for ever. When they come back up home my mum will have to give up work and become his full time carer. They want to be near us so that we can offer more support - we are all they have.

So sooperPAP, yes, it will impact how much we see them but for the better

The Estate Agents are due round this weekend so we are going down so Miserable Bollox can do the *odd jobs* that need doing - repairing bath, etc.

They are on the council waiting list but as a *general needs* :eek: we need to get them shifted up to priority 1 with adapted which involved getting lots of reports/backup from his health care providers - we are onto that but everything is soooo bl00dy hard :rolleyes:

Sorry that got so long - it'll teach you to be interested - :rotfl: look how I waffle

PAP - glad your bro is ok but that was quite a selfless act so you could read all that

Sea - have you tried ginger biscuits for the sickness?
