It's my own recipe. I actually make my burgers like this just reduce the quantities.

Here you go

Meatloaf - serves 4 generous portions.
(1 syn per serving)

750g extra lean minced beef
2 onions
2 peppers (any colour)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of thyme, mixed herbs, chilli, paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper.
2 oxo's (veg or beef) crumbled.
3 tablespoons of Worcester sauce.
200g chopped tomatoes and juice.
4 tablespoons of brown sauce or tomato sauce.

Mixed everything all together really well in a large bowl. Press into a suitable oven proof dish or large loaf tin. Leave to stand in the fridge for 30 minutes. Before putting in the oven spread the top of the meatloaf with 4 tablespoons of brown sauce or ketchup.
Cook on 200 for 40-50 minutes.

Any left overs are really nice cold the next day with salad or served hot with baked beans.

FRIDAY!

Good evening diary.

BBQ arrived, and the patio table and chairs AND the garden storage unit and they all need putting together tonight. In-laws arrive tomorrow from down South not seen them for 3 years due to their ill health our work commitments and the distance so slightly stressing about cleaning and crap that don't really matter. Anyhow T will probably be in the garden until midnight with his screw driver. After the soaps I'm gonna hoover and polish again and obsess for nothing over nothing until I go bed so I can lie there...obsessing and stressing

Food been good today but my totm psycho sweet tooth is beginning to do my head in - all I want is sweets and chocolate. Thank flump the online shop comes tonight, bought plenty yoghurts and fruit.

Went for a lovely walk this afternoon, and did my favourite thing on the way back mooched round the charity junk shops. Bought a few things for a couple of quid and I'm made up!! - I'm not proud, I've found some amazing bargains over the years!

A) 350ml skimmed milk
B) 35g porridge oats

Breakfast:
Porridge with cinnamon


Lunch:
2 apples and a vanilla mullerlight sitting by the canal.

Tea:
Pan fried gammon (in fry-light) with mixed salad and balsamic.

Melon and yoghurt

Syns:
Bounty - 14 (I NEED IT!)

Meal out at the all you can eat Chinese buffet tomorrow - god help me!!

Oh a visit - they always stress me out but turn out to be fine. 3 years is a big gap, I'm sure all will go really well. I got my potting table today so it was the day of gardening deliveries!

Good luck with the Chinese - you can make wise choices without it being dull - you can do it! X

The in laws visited from Wiltshire and only left about 3 hours ago.

I've not seen my mother in law for 5 years.

First thing she says when she walks in the house.. ..."you need to go on a diet, this is the biggest I've ever seen you".

I've never felt so awkward and self conscious in my life and I'm totally f@cked off with her.

We went to the Chinese buffet and I could feel her watching me eat. I just wanted to get up and walk out. Needless to say I hardly had anything, she made me feel like a freak!.

I've overcome the death of my mum plus my uncle and 2 Aunties in the last 2 years plus I'm on some pretty mean medication that stimulates my appetite. I've also quit smoking within the last 18 months and started detox for drinking, and I get judged on my size still.

I'm under no illusions that I'm very, very overweight, does she think that she needs to point it out because for some reason I'm not bluddy aware of it?!!!..

I'm boiling mad! SW for today is cancelled and probably for tomorrow and the next day too. Damn probably crash and burn and come back in a few weeks like I usually do. P!ssed off and really hurt....how dare she!.

Thanks love - I've bee really upset about it and done what I usually do and that's gone away and binged....but looks like not many noticed me gone lol

it seems abit dead on here really. I'm joining a SW class on Friday but doubt I'll go through the hassle of filling out a diary on here as well as one for class - sometimes I just feel like I'm typing to myself lol.
Anyway needless to say I've gained back the 6lb I lost but I'm beginning to think I'm type 2 diabetes (borderline the last 2 years) I'm craving sugar ridiculously, mega thirst and getting up 3-4 times a night peeing. I've got 2 blisters on the back of my feet from shoes rubbing that still haven't healed from 4 weeks ago and just feel knackered. I was warned at my last mot with my high blood pressure and my weight that I was a diabetic timebomb. I've had these symptoms for a while but just thought they where side effects of my new meds, but been on these meds over 6 months now so shouldn't be experiencing anything like this from side effects.

So I've decided to go to a class, stay to class and keep going. I saw my mum struck down with type2 but thankfully after paying for weightloss surgery and losing 12 stone her diabetes all but disappeared but by then the damage was done and her kidneys where knackered. I don't want any of this
I'm gonna see how I get on but if these symptoms don't calm down I'm gonna have to go and get checked.

Good morning chick.

I'm so sorry to read that your MIL decided to just put the boot in - honestly what a completely unnecessarily b1tchy thing to say. . In future you need to say something like "That was rude!" and then just stand there...people speak without thinking sometimes and even if they're being calculating it really puts them on the spot without making you look like a crazy woman.

I've been AWOL too - looks like we're synced up in our highs and lows. Don't stop doing your diary here, I enjoy reading it and I do think it's helpful to you.

I think making the decision to go a class is a great one, it's very difficult sticking to plan without that added pressure if you know what I mean?

As to your fears about diabetes - I think you should make an appointment TODAY to go and get it checked out...whatever the results you will have your mind put at rest and you'll be able to make some plans going forward. Sugar is SUPER ADDICTIVE, so I don't think that you're craving sweet things is especially something to worry about, honestly. It just takes hard work to give up the sweet devil.

I shouldn't of let her get to me but her comment knocked me side-ways and they have caused arguments. My son was fuming and wanted to say something but I stopped him but then in turn I resented hubbs who was standing next to me for not saying anything in my defence.

Anyway I suppose I needed this last week or so to get my head around the fact that me and the plan just don't get on if I don't go to group and get support. I'm dreading going again but luckily my two nieces go to the same group and do do a few of my friends off FB so I know it won't take long before I'm comfortable again.

It's only been this past year that I've craved sugar like I do and I remember it being one of the initial symptoms of mums pre-diabetic condition that and fatigue - which I have. The thirst and peeing have only been recent really.
I was looking at my old SW books from when I joined last year and I weigh exactly 5lbs heavier now than what I was when I joined last April. So I'm actually quite surprised with that considering I'm not has active as I was last year and on 2 different medications that have side effects that stimulate my appetite. But last year I don't remember feeling as massive as I do today or quite so physically fatigued and unwell.

What the fluck do I expect though at 5ft 5 and over 18 stone ?!!!!

Times they are a changing.

I am talking to myself on my diary but I think it helps so I keep on going typing into the silence haha!!! I like to look back and gauge my moods against losses and food too. The old mini gang are back on it. Aim is to lose it all by Xmas so let's kick this fat's arse once and for all. Done it before and we can do it again. Go and get checked for diabetes. You'll only worry and they may offer some help with your loss (pay sw?). All will be ok, we just need to want it - and I'm really determined. I've had no wine for 10 days and had a hard week - no desire to be naughty and want to exercise (weird?!). You have stayed fairly stable over the year which is impressive -just think if you were on plan what it could be next year! Xx

XXXX, I'm only just catching up - what a cruel thing to say to you. Grrrrr on your behalf. Er, your MIL I'm talking about of course. So pleased you are getting back together and getting back to your SW group, you can do this, you really can.

I was waffling about something else and decided to look for something on youtube to share here and for me as well. This woman talke sense about eating when not hungry. How what we eat is not the problem, it's the mental attitude to food. Poop, I can't paste links. Go on youtube and look for Josie Spinardi I think so anyway, it's nearly two and I've not watched all of this yet.

Big big congrats on the smoking. And taking care of yourself re the possible diabetes.

I'm trying again with the link How to Stop Binge Eating and Emotional Eating- The REAL Reason you Binge! - YouTube

 

[googlegoss]

Thats a horrible thing to say to you! Dont let it get you down though - rise above it (and her) and do what you need to do. I am type 2 and trying to lose weight. Its very hard work and have learnt from testing my blood sugars that cutting down on carbs really helps your readings and keeps them more stable. Carbs are the enemy (for me anyway) and need to be eaten in moderation. Thats the only way I can keep my diabetes in check.

You really should go and get it checked though cos the earlier you are diagnosed the sooner you can do something about it.

Good luck xx
