I have never weighed my portions PN! Sometimes my slow cooker provides 3 portions, but if its particularly nice, its only two!


I watched the programme on telly last night about Which Diet is best for you? ... They were split up into three different types of 'eaters' .. sadly I could identify with all three of them!

No hope for me!

My temptation is a different kind of emotional eating from the stress/upset they mention on the show. I eat unhealthily when I am bored, or when I want to put off doing something I don't want to do. You should see how many sweets and biscuits I get through when I'm trying to make myself write reports or mark coursework. My unrelated mental health issues mean that I also eat whatever's least effort to get hold of - which is frequently not a particularly healthy selection of stuff.

New year new medical problems.

1. They cannot get my pills again.

2. GP is now saying there is a problem referring me out of area. Fir cuff eaten he put this in writing because this is directly contrary to everything we understood about the way NHs is meant to work. Would be interesting to see if they commit to writing. Especially as the endo and consultant phys want referral to particular place.

Too darn tired to care anymore.

:mad::mad::mad::(:(:(

Sooo fed up on your behalf.

I understand only too well what it's like to be too tired to care, so I'm so glad you have fir to fight for you.

PN You could always put it on the floor when you use it. They're not very large and don't take up much room.

Also applicable to toilet roll!

Er ... I've a nasty, sneaky feeling that this chilli .... will never get as far as the freezer. I think I'll end up eating it all in the next 1-2 days.

Excellent

Though chilli does often taste even better reheated.

Measuring/weighing what I'm taking out, so I know how much volume it does end up at - had 130g (a half cup measure) and then 250g (a full cup measure), actual "cup measuring cups", not just using the word "cup" there.

I use my soup ladle to put stews etc into plastic trays. Two full ladlefuls is my usual rule of thumb for stews, and 3 ladlefuls of soup (not in the same tray, of course :eek: ).

You'll soon get used to your own measuring system.

Yes. My weight gain over the time I've been doing my course has been due to stress, but also boredom / procrastination / not having the motivation (anxiety related) to go to the trouble of cooking something healthy (and so a bag of chipsticks and a chocolate bar meet all those 'needs' )

It's a terribly vicious circle. Been there, done it too

We have a blizzard. It is settling boo hiss.

I think there's supposed to be a pic but I can't resist asking if you've employed Nikkster?

I'd probably go and hold a toilet roll for less that that :eek:

I'd like to say that I would go round and wipe their bottoms for that money, but I'd be lying.

Many people do just that for a living, and for a lot less money per day. Wouldn't be my first choice of job, but I'd do it.

Yes, absolutely! No shame in that. But, to replace a toilet roll holder, I would have to be on duty 24/7 for many years. I am not doing that for £20k.
