Well done Beth, that's fantastic!

Well done Beth, great loss - and well done on putting your foot down re Pizza Hut. I'm sure your family will be right behind you when they see how important it is to you

Agree not going to pizza hut v sensible! Altho i survived a trip to pizza express by eating salad last week i didnt really enjoy it. i've discovered that if i go somewhere with decent alternative of steak or fish i dont miss the pizza or pasta at all - salad does not count!

Morning Beth.

Morning jim! Hope you had a good weekend! Xxx

 

[Jim]

I did Beth, nice quiet weekend at home.

 

[Beth3107]

Morning everyone else! Hope your weekends were lovely and chillled!


I can't believe how much my eating habits have changed in just one week!!!! Normally I would be constantly snacking between meals on crisps and choc and toast and all the bad stuff! I would eat all the dinner in my plate even if I was stuffed cuz I didn't want to "waste" it!

Now after just a week I have to remind myself to have my meals! I'm full almost immediately! I'm not snacking unless actually hungry! And I don't have that bloated/lethargic feeling anymore!

 

[Jim]

LOL, it suits you then Beth.

Morning Beth. x

 

[Beth3107]

Hurray! I finally found a diet coke that doesn't use aspartame!!! Yay! Tescos "amercian style premium diet coke" uses splenda! My life is complete!

 

[Jim]

LOL PMSL, the joy of it.

Thanks for the heads up about Tesco's diet coke. I noticed you bought some Zero Carb Marshmallows were they expensive.

I have discovered that Sainsbury's do sugar free marshmallows and they are 69p for a 75g bag and look good. I have resisted so fat though...Still on induction.

 

[Beth3107]

It's the tesco "American style diet coke" there regular one uses aspartame .

I can't remember how much they cost, wouldn't of been much tho as I'm a bit of a stingy shopper! Lol! They have a chocolate coating. Havnt tried them yet tho as they are going to be my treat for completing induction!

I have just discovered there is a diabetic shop in my town aswell that sells all sorts of sugar free treats. I live in a tiny town and never new it was there!

 

[Jim]

Morning Beth.

 

[Beth3107]

Evening all!

I LOVE ATKINS! I feel so great lately! I'm waking up earlier, not tired in the afternoons. Have so much more energy to play with Isobelle. And it's not as difficult as I thought to keep to the diet. Although the free sweets the low carb megastore sent me disappeared very quickly after they arrived! .

A little embarrassing question to ask tho...
Is it normal to have alot of wind? Lol.

 

[Quak]

Sometimes, a lot depends on what I eat, but the sweeties won't help you on that count!

 

[Kat1e]

Dodgy sweeteners and/or flaxmeal may be to blame....!

 

[rosebug]

If you're eating sugar free sweets it is VERY normal to have wind and um, to suffer a laxative effect. Try and eat only small amounts of them when you really need something - that said I had a little blip with them myself this week. They can also stall some people.

 

[Jim]

ah the revenge of the S/F L/C FRANKENFOODS.

 

[Beth3107]

Sounds Like that's what it was... Was only a free sample pack of some chewy sweets. Luckily they have all gone now. Although j woke up this morning really craving something sweet! Lesson learnt! Hope it hasn't effected things for me.

Hope your all having a lovely Morning! Weathers rubbish in devon! X
