Being Dutch in Belfast

Hi there,

Although I am not used to posting, blogging and all the other things that go on in life nowadays I decided to take the plunge and post.
I started the slimming world diet 5 weeks ago and i must say things are going pretty well. So far I have lost 10kg (1.5 st) so it seems to work well but i am running out of ideas for what to eat. I am a very picky eater who loves cheese and fresh bread so i am having a hard time eating not to much of these. I am also diabetic so my medicine is not helping either.
:cry:
At the moment i have s slices of wholemeal bread in the morning with either boiled egg or light cheese, a salad in the afternoon with lettuce, cucumber, peppers with a light dressing and on most days some cooked chicken with it.
In the evening oven grilled spicy chicken breast ( i love spices) with a side salad and spinach, broccoli.
I noticed that my weightloss is higher eating the salad and the chicken then when i would eat a lot of pasta/rice/potatoes. I do however love it but need some inspiration for making some nice meals that still help me losing weight.
So if anybody is willing to help out this 'old man' , please do.
I will put down some things i don't like: Seafood, fish (i do like cod and stuff, chunky white fish) , bacon.
What i do love is spicy food, the spicier the better.

Thanks for reading,

Nico
