Warm fruit but chocolate HAS to be cold, straight from the fridge and I have eaten it from the freezer - home made truffles 5mins out of the freezer are delicious!:drool:
As for crisps..........I had a packet on the way home from my dance class, not had any tea yet, I'm not hungry but I think you might have put me off them RS - bleach YUK!!!!!
I'm going to go and get my bag ready for tomorrow now, nice salad for lunch and some fruit (left in the office to keep it warm of course :rotfl:) I might even organise tomorrow's tea!!
See you tomorrow folks! :A0 -

Oh! DD and DH went to said balti house in Birmingham and called at Indian Sweet shop as instructed! I did without my chocolate snack today and had some Indian sweets.... but got to bed time and really reallly wanted a hot choc.
Did it the OS way! Well in some respects. 1 level tsp cocoa powder, skim milk and then 1 level measuring spoon of fructose (sweeter than sugar, doesn't spike your blood sugar as much either). Drip of vanilla extract, grating of nutmeg, delish![SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

Morning all! Not many around yet!
I had an apple and cuppa then decided to wait a bit for brekkie. I think I had it too early yesterday as I was starving rather too soon at lunch!
Breakfast will be porridge I think, or maybe egg, mushroom, tomatoes or something. Porridge might be a safer strategy if I'm worried about feeling hungry too soon.
Snack.... don't know
Lunch: Soup made from left over channa dal from last night and some salad I think.
Snack: 25g chocolate
Dinner: Chicken couscous..... I won't have the couscous, some other carb instead I think. Have made this for dh's benefit. he likes it. I don't see the appeal of such thin gravy/sauce.
Snack: don't normally have an evening snack if I can help it. But it's chorus tonight and I'm always hungry/thirsty afterwards.
Hope you are all doing ok and getting back on the straight and narrow if you aren't![SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

Hi Everyone:hello: After yesterday's gargantuan breakfast I didn't have much else all day and was full up until about 7pm, when I had half a tin of scotch broth and a salad pitta. Still not a great eating day but it could have been worse!
This morning I have had two slices of toast with extra light Philadelphia-type cheese on and after I dropped DD2 off at school I went to the beach and had a walk along the seafront - It was extremely windy though and after only about half a mile I was frozen through and the wind was really hard to walk into, so I returned to the car - but still it was a bit of exercise and beats yesterday when I sat and troffed down a huge high fat breakfast.
Lunch, I think, will be salad with tuna and a cup of soup, followed by an apple, and Dinner will probably be jacket potato with leftover chilli and cottage cheese (its nice honest!) and a green salad, followed by WW yoghurt.
I need to go shopping again and I only went on Monday - DD1 has emptied the fridge and freezer - she had friends round last night and they ate:
4 pizzas (not large ones but still...)
1kg of frozen potato wedges
packet of pittas with most of a whole chicken (in fridge for use today supposedly) and a tub of coleslaw
a box of Cocoa rocks
a packet of chicken sate sticks (bought for packed lunches)
2 litres of apple juice
most of a carton of orange juice
When the boyfriend was leaving DD2 reported that he was taking a carrier bag full of food which DD1 had got out of the cupboards and freezer (he lives in a student house so enough said) and when I said something she gave me a big sob story about how he had no money for food etc etc so I (being the assertive sort) caved and let him take it - at which point he got into the TAXI he had ordered to take him back to his house:mad: No wonder he has no money for food then!!
Reading through the posts you all seem to be doing well resisting when temptation calls - hope it rubs off on me soon!!
Have a great day!Jane
