I do the soaking oats overnight as well it's lovely topped with yoghurt and fruit - especially black forest fruits YUM!! I take it with me to have at work after my early morning swim *polishes halo*
My evening meal plans were scuppered when I got stuck in traffic on the way home........had to go straight to a meeting instead of getting something to eat first so we had a bag of chips on the way home I did only eat half of them though as they weren't very nice and I do feel very full so might be able to resist the nibbling monster tonight.:rotfl: :rotfl:

sounds like soggy porridge to me !!!!

i wish i could stomach somthing other than toast in the morning!

Vixtress, I wouldnt worry too much about just eating toast - as long as you try and vary what you have on/with it, it should be fine and can be perfectly healthy ! I can't even eat breakfast until I've been up and active at least a couple of hours, how people can start shoving food down their gullet when they've barely been awake 10 minutes I'll never know !

i try to make it granary and use much less butter than i used to.

butter is my biggest downfall, if someone invented calorie free butter (that really tasted like butter) i could be like kate moss (without the looks, drugs, money, style etc etc) :rotfl: :rotfl:

Evening everyone

Frogga i thought you would know i was a freak by now ..but Rockie does it too :T ...i got it from the gillian mckeith book...thought it was an odd idea, but i love it now and i need to eat less before im full and it keeps me full for longer:T

Got back from the supermarket ok.... got another 5kilo box of braeburn/boskoop apples for £2 -so they have gone onto the shelving in a room in the cellar...it keeps the fruit n veg so much better. Also they had some whoopsied mozzarella with basil..250g when drained 30p..so igot 4 .. will turn them into calzone, cheese n ham pasties etc....
Also picked up some meat for making sausages tomorrow..at least i know what is in them then..and they work out cheap enough too -

Got in and warmed hubby a piece of HM steak n mushroom pie..smelt lovely if i say so myself...but wasn't tempted.. i had....yep you guessed it - sugar free jelly n fruit and a cuppa:j im sure i have been abducted by aliens.. i hope they don't bring the old me back :eek: ... i don't want her:rotfl:

Anyone worrying about always having toast for brekkie...don't i sometimes have my sugare free jelly n fruit in fact i did this morning... i have learn't that i will eat what foods i want, at what time i want.... not eating what i "should" when the clock says so...sometimes lunch ends up at 11am and sometimes 2pm....and it seems to work for me,

Vixtress
I only use butter too mmmmm they have loads of lower fat butters out here, but i can't bring myself to try them :rotfl: ... i love hot buttered toast... but now keep myself in check over how many slices i have.... i probably have toast now once or twice a week.. so i figure i may as well enjoy it, although sometimes i have just low fat cream cheese instead...or low fat liver sausage (tastes like duck pate to me:D )
well i had better get off and leave you good people in peace

Keep up the good work everyone:D

Frogga-I can't stand porridge either!!! Flapjacks however.....

I've had an ok day....my boyfriends parents took us both out for lunch and we went to a Cypriot restaurant...I was advised against salad, so had chips and lamb chops. It was lovely and I still feel full...so will just have fruit this evening. I also did loads today and have lots to do still...got to tidy up before tomorrow morning as we're having someone come to check the house for repairs, so need to make my room presentable, which will take a bit of work.

Tomorrow I've got salad planned for lunch and found out on Monday that I like dwarf beans, so will try to find some of those. I made a veggie salad at work (baby corn, peas, tomatoes, a slice of ham, a hard boiled egg and some dwarf beans) and really enjoyed it, so thats a new veggie to add to my list.

Time to get back to tidying....hope everyone is keeping well and keep going

HELP EVERYONE. I've just started looking thru here as I think I hit rock bottom (actually my bottoms a good bit softer than rock ). It was a holiday weekend where we are and I spent most of my time eating all the sweets choccy and crisps that I'd bought in for the kids day trips etc. Yesterday after I'd actually realised that I'd just munched my way thru 2 packets of Lidl delish strawberry yoghurt choccys I began to hate myself and realised that I haven't really eaten proper food for days and was actually feeling sick and stupid.
So what am I going to do? I've lost my way with making proper dinners and my work patttern leads me down the primrose path - I work 9 til 2.30 with one 20 min break, my supervisor used to make me take the break at 10.30 with the upshot that I was virtually fainting by the time I got home. I'd scoff my healthy fruit snack in the car then raid the kids lunchboxes for any leftovers and them sit down at home with sandwiches biscuits and anything else I could lay me hands on - and the start cooking dinner! However now I'm insisting that I take my break at 12 so I'm not as starving when I get in but I do still fall into the trap of tea and biccies when I get in.

So anywaytoday I had meusli with ss milk and tea, half fat cheese oatcakes and a bit of relish, grapes when I got home and cup of tea later and quorn with quinoa and courgettes for dinner. I'm feeling much happier and it's nearly 12 midnight an d I still don't feel hungry ( i tend to get late munchies too when I'm at the computer - supposed to be studying)

So point me at some good meal planners and kick me up the proverbial!

You could have a look at the menu planners collection, nodwah.

Nodwah ~ I can't really give any good advice as far as meal planning et.c as I'm really weird with my food. For a start I'm vegan and secondly I've got a bad eating dissorder so I'm very freaky with my food. Having said all that I'm really good at being possitive and I can give you lots of encouragement:T :T :T

I think you need to wait and see what the others say , especially MrsM and Oddsnsodds as they know what they're talking about xx

Good luck , you've made a BRILLIANT start by being on here , so Well Done You xx

Hi all , have a good day , still not binged!!
