L x

enjoying the new year already and looking forward to the rest of the year ahead and exciting waiting for baba to arrive

Not doing good but going to try get back on track from Friday x

All I want to do is eat !!!!

Im constantly starving and craving sweet stuff. Before joining SW again, i was eating cheese till it came out of my ears, now iv got an extra HexA i cant tolerate the stuff and 375ml skimmed is more than enough for me. Making up for it with extra cottage cheese & yogurts every day so bubs is getting his calcium

I have to have something sweet after every meal lol

aww ladies i know how you feel - up until now (30weeks) i couldnt tolerate yogurts and fruit ( my previous loves on sw) but im getting there again slowly but surely

I feel ive lost the weight once so i will do it again

Oh thank god its not just me. Iv made myself a scan bran cake, which is nice with some sweetened quark, going to make sure I have that in the house every day for after my main meal and iv got a recipe for syn free turkish delight, so going to make a batch of that up for the fridge, so i can just pick at it. Only trouble with that is OH loves it as well, but he wants his coating in chocolate

Oooo how do u make that how many calories is it x

Hears the recipe, im following Slimming World so dont count calories, so dont know how many calories each item has in it, but theres only 3 ingredients plus your spices.
