Aiming for thin at 30!
Hi everyone,
I have a family party next weekend and we are on a chocolate day. We arrive and its hot chocolate and handmade biscuits - will get round that by leaving the biscuits and having a coffee instead.
Then we are cooking with choc and tasting so I will have tiny tastes but avoid where possible.
Then we are having a 3 course meal, which is below, please help me choose what to have.
The starters, I would usually have goats cheese as that is my fave but doubt I can get away with that! I have never tried plaice, is it a fishy fish?
For the mains I wondered about the chicken or beef without the sauce.
The desert I don't have a clue. The issue is that its OH family and they have been quite nasty about my weight in the past so I don't want them knowing I am doing slimming world so I will have to at least look like I am eating some of everything then have a excuse saying I don't like them etc.
