Quick question red day today, thanks to morrisons and their breakfast options urgh urgh urgh, but never mind me loves red days...
got back from town really late so decided to have pasta sheets in a lasagne as hadn't got time to roast peppers for the "Lasagne sheets" so used dried spinach lasagne ( I honestly didn't enjoy it at all funny how your tastes change, I'm going to make sure I have fresh spinach on standby in the future from now on)
anyway am I right in thinking I can just syn the sheets on a red day as in 20cal = 1 syn? I hope so don't want to use it as a hex....
Anyways hoping you are all having a lovely evening xxxxx

Jen - AMAZING! well done, I think i was bigger than size 8 since birth
Kelly - WELL DONE! And your plan looks really excellent to me, do you usually manage to stick to what you have planned? I always find the days comes, and I don't fancy it anymore.
Well, as for me, I am feeling in control tonight, despite being home alone and tired. No junk food in sight.
I started reading "Overcoming Binge Eating" by Christopher G. Fairburn, its an interesting read. The 2nd half of the book is a self-help programme, so I am going to start step 1 from tomorrow. It seems to compliment my "homework" from the binge eating support group I attend, I am in fact wondering if it is based on his book.

Why do not you use pumpkin to make soup or roast pumpkin chips or mix with potato and mash

Thanks! I found it quite hard to do as well at first, took me a good 3 months to get into the plan properly and find out what works, I usually try and make my meals syn free or v v low syn, then use the SYNS for snacks I want. If I'm honest I never count booze, i drink gin and slimline tonic which is pretty low cal anyway, xx
Alcohol is terrible in syns! But its hard to stay motivated if u cant hav anything u like! I hav worked out i hav 42 pound to lose fory first goal. Which i reached on ww but put bk on! Sw seems like something i can stick to afterwards just need willpower! Most of my clothes r too tight so not buying more until they fit me so hope that motivator will help! What type of things do you have for breakfast and lunch i usually have egg on toast then rice and a jacket but is that too many carbs? Im doing ee and guna try sum red and green once ive lost a bit on ee xx

Awful love! I have so much work to do as well and the idea of academic reading when my head is this achey and bunged up is rubbish. Full of cold, and sore.
Had a good day on plan though, actually used some of my SYNS for a little wholemeal roll rathe than sweet stuff and I'm not really missing it. Had an options and its done the trick. Hope I've beaten my sugar addiction again! 3 days since the last sugar binge!
Any more thoughts on the job offer??
Laura def stay away from the gym love, your balance is all off so to use gym equip when you can go dizzy isn't good. Just wait until you're better. Just go for a walk while you're poorly nothing too strenuous.
