Hi everyone.

My downfall is portion size and cake and not cooking properly when I'm tired!

I know exactly what you meam. I am always tired as I don't sleep well and work 43 hours a week but there are some evenings where I just come home and 'sit' and before I know it its 7pm and I can't be bothered to cook a meal. I'm hoping that once the spring comes I will a bit more uplifted moodwise.

I love following this thread even though I may not post much - it always strengthens my resolve to carry on so thank you all for that :beer:

I am going to try my first ever red day!

hex a milk
hex b wholemeal roll (Brunch, I tend to get up very late on a saturday as its my only day off)
bacon
banana

dinner steak and tuna (small piece of each)
salad

vodka and diet coke later :T 4 syns

Am I correct in thinking that I can have another hex b today if I want?

Thanks for the chart 2b 1lb off for me, thanks. Just cooked some sainsburys be good to yourself Cumberland sausages and just checked syns but they don't seem to be listed. I was sure they were half a syn each?! Can anyone else see them? Thanks

That's right. You can have up to 2 HEAs and 2 HEBs on Red and Green. So if you wanted a baked potato (230g raw with skin) or something with your dinner you can. Enjoy.

Maman - I'm currently testing out the whole must have a trigger for it to set off? Truthfully so far I've drawn a blank? Attack 2 was following salt n pepper chicken roasted veg n sw chips (frylight only fat) so I put that down to eating too much? Attack 3 - Chinese takeaway (so possible too much n too much fat?) attack 4 - beans with grated cheese (half a hexa) so nothing really? And since then its been a constant grumble - not enough to warrant a trip to a&e but enough to break out the tramadol
I don't know if it was a definite I ate x food I'd cut it out no questions asked would just cut it out. However cadburys biscuits don't seem to effect it
9 days til scan and hopefully drs appt that week to get a quick referral

Lack of sleep - unfortunately I'm used to it dd has rarely slept through and its just us so all falls to me

Green tiger- definitely marinate over night if you like the spice I don't even add the fromage frais at the end anymore as I've adjusted the spices to my taste its a good curry though
I'm glad my encouragement had the desired reverse effect that's what works with me anyway lol no I bloody well won't give up!

I use the 105 in a week bank and keep a food diary (am actual diary now used to be a notebook but a day to page diary is good for me

2b thanks for the chart

Shala - I don't count cooked fruit I know I should but its my close to target option should weight loss slow down

The Sainsbury cumberland sausages are half syn each. The Tesco ones have increased to 1 syn each, no idea why because they don't seem any different.

Having another EE day today:

B - fry up with bacon, egg, mushrooms, SW sausage, dry fried potato & onion cake
L - tuna mayo & cucumber sandwich (HEB + 1 syn)
D - LO pork & pearl barley stew

HEA - SS milk in tea throughout the day

Syns - sausage 0.5; mayo 1;

Will probably have a fruit split lolly later for 3 syns. Not sure if I'll have anything else. Probably won't have any wine today even though I'm feeling so much better now.
