Just a thought - I use laughing cow cheese extra light triangles on my toast. You can have maybe 5 or 6 a day as a healthy extra A choice. So I don't have the full allowance of milk and just use 1 or maybe 2 LC extra lights a day. I don't eat cereal I just use milk in coffee.

I'm always splitting up my healthy extras. So you can have 1 slice of toast (not two) and then have an Alpen light bar and those two together count as 1 "B" choice.

Ok I will shut up now. ha ha.

Again, excellent advice Hathor! I really enjoy reading your posts hehe.
I do sometimes have the H.E.a triangles on the bread/toast, but a lot of the time I prefer it without. I have never been a big lover of having spread or butter on my toast, but thank you for the tip non the less!

Please don’t shut up, you’ve been really really helpful to me and by the look of it to others too

Could both of those days be considered Extra Easy? so you don't have to syn your potatoes / chips?

They could be, but I think its slightly psychological because I'd probably eat a lot more potato/pasta etc if i didnt syn it.

 

[Hathor]

It all looks great anyway . I went crazy today myself (cooking cakes for my daughter and obviously having to "try" them doh) so back on track for me straight away!

 

[elb4160]

At least you're getting straight back on track! I don't think it hurts too much, as long as its not way over the top and only once in a while

(I hope they were nice though!)

Have weighed myself this morning to find i've lost 5lbs this week! So thats a total of 9lb so far and i've exceeded my half stone mark!

 

[Derbynanny]

[elb4160]

Thank you!
The main thing i'm thinking of when foods tempt me is that I'd rather be thinner than eat that! It's working so far haha
