First Stone gone many more to go

[ladyfelsham]

I have to really restrict the carbs to small portions otherwise it wouldn't work as too many points. Xx

And therein lies my problem - the stop button goes missing when i have carbs

 

[Tessa2000]

I completely understand Susie. It's really hard. I only ever cook small portions now and bulk it out with veg and other 0 points food. xx

 

[Tessa2000]

Made a curry tonight which turned out hotter than expected.

Brunch = 3 slices wholemeal toast, 15g Pate and 35g cream cheese
D = cod & chickpea curry, 250g fat free yogurt
S = 10g Danish blue cheese, Irish coffee, stillen bite, apple

Good luck with the buffet tomorrow!

 

[Tessa2000]

I have eaten far too much today. Pointed food as much ad I could and quite a big over. The buffet today was nice but point heavy. Really not used ti eating that much now. Gonna have a light eating day tomorrow. On Thursday we have another buffet. Probably need to write this werk off.

S = fat free yogurt and berries, 3 Cadbury roses, 1/4 Danish pastry

I feel really stuffed now. Xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh well done Tessa, you are really managing food at this challenging time of year!

i think that's the key - have a big food day one day, then balance it with a light day the next.

 

[Tessa2000]

Oh my goodness you are on the next level of serious to be able to have just *one* chocolate from the cadbury roses tin I have a -very- soft spot for the strawberry ones. Also navigating buffets is always difficult.

You are doing amazing and I hope you don't mind me subbing to your thread!
