Oh I know. My friend kills me cause she misses things like that or my Guinness and chicken stew. (But its way too high of syns to make anymore)
Anyway yeah
Pulled pork
lump of pork
Salt pepper
Smoked paprika
Remove all fat, put some salt, and pepper into a bowl with two tablespoons of paprika mix well.
Rub the mixture into the joint.
Place in slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours.
After the first hour remove and drain away the excess juices)
I checked mine at 4 and gave it the extra hour. Then preheat oven and throw in for 20 mins on high to crisp it up. (I did this while my parsnips roasted)
Shred and eat
Normally if make some BBQ or chipotle dressing but I really fancied a Sunday roast.
Enjoy

I want to cry!!!!!!
I ate my weight in chocolate!! I frigging hate star week!!!!!!
I started a new pill this month and its meant to be better for my new weight/symptoms etc but my oh my. After taking it religiously, I still end up getting my star week early and now I am in a big emotional mess.
Have no energy to do anything. I am literally curled up on the couch with pain meds and have my hot water bottle. No appetite now today as I am so queasy since last night when I literally ate all the choc I could get my hands on.
I may have had about 70-80 syns but I will deal with that. Do extra body magic before weigh in Thurs.
Anyway
If my day wasn't crappy enough got word my Dads in hospital. So I've to travel down tonight to see him. Hoping its nothing too serious.
The urge to comfort eat is insane. I just want more choc and rubbish.

Are the Ferraro Roche made with quark? Cause a girl brought them to group taster before and they were horrific.
Or is there another recipe I need to know?
Trying my best to get back on track today
Two small bananas
5 x 300ml glasses of sugar free juices
Leftover spag bol for lunch
Syns - 22! ( I tried my best the chocolate urges took over)
Have hexb left so gonna have two double choc alpen lights later. Have to figure out what to have for dinner now with my spag bol. (Its very speedy, celery, onion, passata, tomatoes, carrots, courgette and peppers)

Starting over
No, they are made by mixing weetabix and nutella, but you really have to get the ratio right or they can be a bit nasty.
Nutella is soo chocolatey for its syns, I have a habit of spreading it on all sorts of things, ryvita, toast, SW pancakes and mixing it into cheesecake, muller lights and smearing it on strawberries in summer

Ate an apple, (s) two mandarins (s) and a kiwi (f) as well as a tin of minions pasta shapes (f)
Just keep picking. Drank two giant mugs of camomile tea, 4 diet lilt cans and two large glasses of water.
Still feel absolutely starving. All I want is chocolate and Chinese. Love the fact I live rurally. I don't have the access to a Chinese or any food delivery like I did in Letterkenny. Was so easy to just ring for food. Now I'd actually have to drive into town find parking and walk to a takeaway. No thanks!!
Sorry about rants and ravings today am struggling today and I need to let loose somewhere. Feel like I'm slowing going crazy. I wish I could be like my friends who don't seem to notice their periods. Maybe one bad one a year. Where as I am left in agony, sick, tired, weak and frustrated craving sugary goods.

Babes, if I was there I'd give you a big hug!
Everyone is different and it's horrible that you have to go through same **** more than once a month.. Hopefully it'll get better with time (although I have heard that babies makes it better, it could be a lie though)

Oh babes big hug.
I'm having mega issues at the moment just had endemitriotic surgery a biopsy and they've inserted the coil. Telling me it will make masses of difference. Well so far i've bled everyday since so 2 weeks today!! Next option hysterectomy. I know what you mean blimming hormones make us crazy. I hope it eases up for you soon my lovely. Try to not worry about the food we get so obssessed sometimes but our bodies crave these things for a reason. Go with it then work real hard next few weeks. I hope dads ok. Xxx
