loving the big blue text xx

Thanks, food choices are never a problem, been doing SW since you were nought but a lass!
its what I eat in the evenings, pure and simple, that sabotages me....I know it, but seem to move to a different, stupid frame of mind after dinner. Perhaps hypnosis would help, but my French would need to be a great deal better than it is now!
its good that you are viewing my diary, gives me incentive....thanks

Could you make a big batch of soup or sw quiche that you can pick at at night??

Hi - your food is looking good!

Would just like to point out that smoked mackeral isn't free - it's 1.5 Syns per 100g. Also, is your fat free yogurt also sugar free? If not, then I'm afraid it will have some Syns.

I hope your internet is sorted quickly; I'd be lost without it!

 

[lornameg]

​thank you for your help, doing SW alone as I live in rural France, my values book is 2006! All help gratefully accepted

 

[lornameg]

in the internet cafe, so this will be short and sweet
B HEB toast, vlf spread and 1 tsp marmalade....2.5 syns. Pear and mandarin
L h/m leek and potato soup, 2 rashers lean bacon and a dry fried egg
D beef madras, free, with rice and banana in ff nat yogurt. 1 tbsp mango chutney...3 syns
5.5 syns so far, but still nibbling at chocolate in the evenings, blows it all! How stupid is that. Must take control

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

I've just spotted that you are a fellow devotee of ginger marmalade! I love ginger anything!

Unfortunately I can't help with the evening munchies as it's something I suffer from. I can be as 'good' as anything during the day but almost the minute I've finished my evening meal I'm looking for little treats

 

[lornameg]

looking at you stats, you have done brilliantly, you must keep the evening nibbles ruthlessly locked away!
its sweet things I crave, and once started, thats it...control out of the window. I have a new adventure starting mid January, though, and am DETERMINED to be thinner and fitter to better enjoy it
thanks again for your interest

sunny day, have lost a little weight, so feeling positive today. Ticker hasn't changed, but am now 80.6k

pear and 2 mandarin oranges
L leek and potato soup, 0 percent yogurt
D home made beefburger with SW chips, tomatoes and mushrooms
E sugar free jelly
looking at it, doesn't look like a lot of superfree...more fruit during the day!

Thank you. I agree that once you have the taste, it's very hard to stop. I try not to buy things that I know I'll have trouble with - that way I only have to be strong-minded once ie in the shop! Alternatively, measure out your portion, eat and immediately follow with a drink to remove the taste - easier than the oft-suggested brushing your teeth.

Good luck - you sound as though you are in the right frame of mind to get to where you want to be.

Can you believe I am here, starting again....
moved back to the UK....hooray...joined SW locally, great group...didn't lose anything in 6 weeks, so totally caved in.
i am now 4 kilos heavier, facing more major back surgery and really in need of help.
i know everyone says this, but this will be the time I succeed.
B Heb bread, dry fried egg, lf spread 2 syns, pear and one of my 5 cups of tea using half Hea.
L mug shot and banana...not ideal, but am going to France for a month tomorrow so need to empty all ffods
D hairy bikers chicken rogan josh with loads of added veg..reckon 2 syns at most
E options choc drink...keep the evening nibbles at bay.
up at 4.30 tomorrow for an early flight, breakfast will be a banana and yogurt grabbed before I leave.

Back in France for a month, family holiday visits coming up. Always a hard diet time, with yummy goodies, baguettes, cakes etc bought for family, but I am determined to do my best. If I wait for a "normal" week, I will wait forever.
B banana at 0400, cheese and ham croissant....eeek on the plane,
D pork casserole, SW friendly with veg, once I have the oomf to go shopping.
i suppose if I see the croissant as both
B and L, maybe not too bad
travelling days always difficult.
better day coming tomorrow

Hey - it's great to see you back on here! Good luck with your fresh start but enjoy your time in France; I'll be there myself in two weeks and so looking forward to it.

Any tips for good things for things to buy - or avoid - gratefully received. We're self-catering and will mostly be shopping at Leclerc supermarkets and local markets.

I hope you enjoyed the croissant - just the thing to get you into 'French mode'!
