Having a slightly smaller portion of what you want is much more satisfying than a huge plate full of something you "should have"

That is actually the best diet advice I have EVER heard (and I have heard ALOT of diet advice over the last 25 years!). I am amazed that I have never really realised that before but it is so true. All the years I struggled eating loads and loads of SW free food or WW 0 point food - I would be stuffed but would still eat all kinds of junk because I didn't really want to eat loads of chicken and veg or whatever - I ate it because you could have as much as you want, but truth to tell I didn't want any of it to start with. Now I know that there are some people who don't mind what they have as long as they are full up but they are people who don't have head problems with food. I, and reading some of the posts on here many others, have REAL problems with food. I binge for all kinds of mad reasons but never because I am hungry or have an empty stomach...

I think that Mrs M's statement summed it up for me - for the last 25 years I have been eating all kinds of food that I don't want and I have yo-yoed up and down as a result, wrecking my digestive system and well being as a result.

Thanks Mrs M!

salmon stir fry has now become fish pies x2 and the peelings fromthe potatoes are now soup.. so far it tastes edible.. the last lot was fed to the cat!

question.. do you have to wait until it is cold to whizz it? I don't have a food processor thing.. only a blender.. but it will do the job won't it?

I do mine whilst it's hot- my blender still lives!!!

last time I whizzed something hot it exploded everywhere.. so I am a bit apprehensive about doing it again.. hot potato face mask is not my idea of fun lol.. I'll put it in spoonful at a time then.. lol

Pigpen Hope the whizzing went ok.

Havent been quite so active today as supposed to be resting the knee but have managed housework. Have just ate what was in the huse as the weather dreadful here. Was supposed to go see mum.

B Porridge with cinammon and almonds and a banana,

Snack Pear

L Weightwatchers lasagne.

Cadburys Dairy Milk when I went for evening paper.:eek:

Evening meal Chicken and yellow pepper wrap with hoummous.

Will take Ryvita and houmous to work tomorrow. Instead of having my two slices of toast with butter and marmalade.:eek:

pigpen

Whizzing went whizzingly.. thanks.. I now have 3 portions of EDIBLE soup...

Potato, parsnip and carrot.. and a bit of Swedish chef... (a bit of anything that looked likely!).. it is a bit.. brownish.. but tastes ok..

Fish pie looks like.. fish pie too..

Tell you what though.. I am so pleased I have a dishwasher I have just used every pan I own (5) and about 20 different utensils.. and the colander and grater (for the parsnip.. in the mash .. on the fish pie! Hidden veg to poison the children!)

Breadmaker on.. so I'll have delish HM bread to go with my soup tomorrow!!

I am quite proud of myself!!

I happened and I havent got enough money for binge food, but an addict always finds a way to get a fix :rolleyes:

Feel like slitting me throat but that would probably just mean I'd be able to stuff more food in quicker

Get a grip Frogga for heavens sake , you're gettin on me nerves now!

When i did that with my liquidiser the top was forced off and it went everywhere!:eek: all up the cupboards,walls, ceiling and me(no injuries) have never trusted the liquidiser since and use my stick blender instead which does a great job - even when hot!
