I love your sig, trace-j!
I love the idea of big breakfast, lighter lunch and light dinner. I just can't do it! I am trying to eat my evening meal at 7pm, which is reasonably early. But I just really enjoy having an evening meal. It's the time I get to be at home and cook, and leisurely enjoy a good meal with my boyfriend. At lunch it's just an hour in the office, I couldn't enjoy good food in that environment. Breakfast, well I can't skip breakfast, however, busy, and, like you I take a sort of "breakfast round 2" to the office.
I know it's the best way to do things for your body...but I can't manage it! Sad, isn't it?!!
Congratulations on how well you're doing with this regime, sounds really good!0 -
Yes you sound like you're doing fab! Better than me anyways.
I know what it is really (though I take on board the whole hormonal and GI thing). For the most part my job is boring as hell and that is when the snacking started. Now its become an "issue" in my mind and I see it as a problem so its spilling over out of work hours. When I am doing an interesting task (few and far between) I don't sit and scoff like this as my mind is occupied.
it is weird though, I went right off choc about eight months ago, didn't fancy it at all, but lately the craving is back with a vengeance.0 -

I like crackerbread and ryvita with very low fat spread (44p tesco one is nice) or marmite and cucumber or whatever other low fat topping you like the best.The Best Things in Life Are Free0

Seeds...they are sooo scrummy.
Went to Boots in Milton Keynes a couple of weeks ago and bought a pack of chilli flavour seeds. They also had some that were vanilla flavoured.
They were really moreish.
The only problem is.....I live in Peterborough and my local Boots don't sell them.
However...I make do with normal seeds.When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!0 -
Yup - seeds are fab. I toast mine by putting them in a saucepan or frying pan on a med heat, no oil, and stirring for a few mins. Once they are brown, let them cool, they taste delish and are also lovely sprinkled on a salad or in cereal - great for your omega 3 as well.
I also find that if I chop bits of fruit and put them in a bowl I am more likely to eat them than a whole piece of fruit. A fruit salad seems a bit more exotic than an apple.
I am currently on weight watchers (hardly OS/MSE I know but I cant do it alone) and they advice lots of liquid. I am not a big fan of water but get around this by making HUGE vats of veg soup and keeping it in the fridge. This way I can heat a bowl late afternoon etc when I fancy a nibble. Its really easy, very healthy, low fat and you dont feel as hungry come dinnertime which also helps.WW Start Weight 18/04/12 = 19st 11lbsWeight today = 17st 6.5lbsLoss to date 32.5lbs!!!0 -

Try a Ryvita spread with low fat soft cheese then a smear of marmite.0
