Hiya, just spotted this thread. I'm in 1st year at Glasgow!
I've been taking packed lunches with me - I do green days so salads with some HEXa cheese in the have been great, or if I don't make one I'll get a baked potato with beans in the uni canteen. Have also been thinking about making SW quiche and taking that cold with salad.
I've yet to work out how to avoid the temptation of a pint of cider in the union though!
Yeah I'm getting bad at seefood and eat it thing though now temptation is out of the house it isn't so bad. Back to having more reports and essays on the go but at least I only have one sit down exam in Dec and then done for a while stress makes me want to eat more.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm back and feeling a bit sheepish
Haven't been sticking to it very much, put about 3.5lbs on in 6/7 weeks or so. Trying to get my head back into gear. I have had so much more work this year than last year, food hasn't been a priority. But I've done a good food shop, and am feeling a bit more positive. UNI IS BAD FOR MY DIET!
Hope everyone else is doing well![]()
Final shot at Slimming World. This time as a Vegan. If I can get to goal by my 21st, great. If not, I'll get there eventually.

I had a week of essay hell and ate crap because I was basically stuck in the library and didn't have the time to think about my eating. I need to be better at remembering to take a packed lunch too!
Yep I'm the same, also bad for staying in the library and letting myself get really hungry and then when I do go and eat its more just eating what I see first :P
Had a funny week with essays too got one great result and one bad, hopefully the next ones I'm writing are better lol.
Good luck everyone.

Hi everyone I am new to the sight and slimming world! I am in my last year at uni studying midwifery and drive about an hour each day! How do you manage lunchtimes and those of you that have courses with placements how does it work? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Welcome! I also travel a long way (1.5 hours to placement, 2.5 to uni), so I feel your pain! I always make a big pack of food the night before. It normally contains 2 snacks for mid-mornings and the afternoon as well as lunch. Today I have:
- Fruit for the mornings. I have my breakfast so early that I'm starving by 9:30 am!
Lunch: spinach salad with broad beans, linseed and lots of smoked salmon, with a nice dressing. And a yoghurt.
Snack: more fruit and a protein bar. Yum!
I never feel too tempted to buy stuff in the canteen because i make my food pack big enough and tasty enough![]()
Good luck! Xxx

I'm just too lazy. I have three children and to be honest when I've got their lunches made I really cant be bothered making a salad or pasta for me to take but I really just need a kick up the bum.
I'm not on any placements but do have quite a long commute too.

You could make yourself the same lunch as for the kids? Economy of scale!

that does make a lot of sense! But they usually have sandwiches and I try and avoid bread except when necessary. I know it'd be almost as easy to make myself a wee salad at the same time. This is what I need to keep telling myself!!! But a gain this week has hopefully given me a much needed kick up the bum!!
So who else has got exams coming up now? I'm in panic mode!

No exams for me until January, luckily, but I have lots of essay and Dissertation deadlines coming up
Can't wait for the end of term and some time off!
