Hia Goombagirl,
Hmmm Meringue-gate - I like that, a hint of intrigue mixed with a bit of secrecy....
".....the thought that came into my head was, "Well, they are low fat, it's not so bad......."
That comment has made me realise something. Meringue nests have always been acceptable when I've been dieting precisely because they are low fat. I have never thought about the massive amount of sugar involved before. Never understood the way that sugar makes me want to eat more and more.
Now I have actually seen what happens when I eat sugar like that, it is a revelation. Now I know for sure what pushes my buttons, surely I am less at risk of reoffending?
We'll wait and see....
Tonight was meeting night. I found that I'd lost a bit more, almost another lb. Still obviously too rigid. I have some ideas to introduce more carbs like bread, although I feel a bit anxious about bread (remember the jam). I don't actually have any jam in the house - it is too much of a risk at the moment. I am just over 10 stone 1lb at the moment with a BMI of 22.9. I checked my body fat % again this morning its now 22% (last time 24%) - still within normal limits, but I probably shouldn't lose any more - getting a bit scrawny on top!
Anyway, had a great day because I had a trip out with the P6's who were orienteering at a local park. It was gorgeous weather too, which really added to the occasion.
I've just had fresh shelled peas, courgettes, spinach, red pepper and Arbroath smoked trout, stirfried with a bit of walnut oil and some blackbean sauce. Totally yummy.
I'll do a fresh fruit salad later - the apples I've got at the moment are really crispy and juicy - even my daughter is scoffing them!
Oh, I nearly forgot, tonight at the meeting my LLC gave me a sachet each of the new LL flavours to try. So I'll give you my verdict when I've had them.
Thanks again Goombagirl for your thoughtful comments - a great help to me!
