Hi Dawn x

So sorry Andy isn't so well at the moment x

Forget the diet x I know how difficult it is to try to stick to it when a loved one is so poorly, and it's just not worth adding to the stress you already have x

It was so brave of you to even start on sw under the circumstances, and no one is going to blame you for putting it on the back burner for a while until Andy improves xxx Quite rightly your mind is on other far more important things ... Andy needs all the love, attention, support and reassurance you can give him at the moment.

The time to try again is once he's all sorted and back home with you x

One little thing that people here said to me while my Dad was poorly last year...

Please remember to look after yourself too x It's very important that you remain strong and healthy, ok? So promise us you will try to get enough sleep, and food (whatever it may be) x

Lots of love and prayers for you both,

Dawnie xxx

Hi Dawn

Sorry to hear about Andy's setback and I hope he gets some strength back soon. I echo everyone's comments about not worrying about food, then again, I know if you eat cr_p, you feel cr_p - can you take rice/pasta salad or a nice sarnie with you or some cereal bars for when you get the munchies?? Not so much for weight loss but for feeling good about yourself so you can cope better.

Lots of love and a hug..

Hi Dawnie II

Glad Andy has taken my advice and took a few days away from you (can't reveal any more - it's all part of "the code")

Hi all

Back home again Yay!!! thanks for the messages folks. Andy is much better than last week, he is in his computer chair again and sorting out his iphone and other technical stuff Tis good to feel just a little bit normal again

For lunch today I made a lovely SW friendly meal, it was a bed of Iceberg lettuce with plain cous cous on top then a stir fry of mushrooms, sweet red peppers and spring onions with spinach and a couple of dollops of creme fraiche on top of that.

It was lovely and I think classed as free food (?) apart from the creme Fraiche which I think would be counted as syns.

Does anyone know how many syns are in 50g creme fraiche? It's the one from Lidl which is 30% fat.

Hiya, Hash Brown

Glad to hear things are looking up a bit. Let's hope the upward trend continues.

Sorry I can't help with the creme fraiche. You'll need to get an answer from one of the bods wot do SW properly - with access to the site & everything.
Not renegades like me.

And well done on at least one SW-friendly meal. Maybe a few more to come, now that you're both settled back at home.

Cor Emma that was quick!! oohhh it looks high :sigh: I thought it was the low fat alternative to cream

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

You're safer using Fromage Frais - or Quark, Spud.

 

[shenzi]

Im bored Dawn was waiting for something I could help on

They do look quite high think your better off with fat free fromage frais thats classed as free food

I can hear you Tooooooo-ooooo-oooooo

Ahem, I think that may have been a tad off key but you get the idea

Well that was lucky for me then lol.... I tried using Tesco's FFFF but it split and was yuk!! It tasted like little bits of rubber so I threw it out for the birds.:sigh:

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Well, I'll let you off, on the basis that your tuning fork is probably still covered in kipper.
And you're only just back.

I won't be so lenient next time, mind.

 

[dabhand]

You're safer using Fromage Frais - or Quark, Spud.

Ahhh Quark I have had this before. Does it not split like FF though?

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

It can. But it's pretty versatile once you get used to it.
It's never going to taste like wot proper cream does - so I'd say when you're feeling like doing "hardcore" SW, you'd better get some stocks of Quark in.
Until then - I'm sure your creme fraiche won't have killed you, and probably tasted more like real food!
