Gens food diary

Gene Genie

Mad as cheese
Ok so have decided that due to my imense hatred of image therapy
I am not going to go back to class and I am going to go it alone, to keep me on track I am going to keep a food diary as writing it down will stop me from being naughty, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok so last Thursday after class i guessed i wouldnt end up going back so I weighed myself on the scales in the local chemist on Friday and WI days will now be Friday in the local chemist :)

Will post what i plan to eat at the start of each day and edit if i need to, but i am trying to stick to only eating what I have planned

Wednesday

Lunch - tomatoey pasta bake thing in the pub with a side salad (have had it before not sure how many syns it is but since im not having anything else bad for me today should be sorted and it appears to only be tomato's and veg with pasta)

Dinner - Quorn Sausage and bean pie!
Quorn sausages cooked on the george formby grill (turned out nice again!) bunged in the bottom of a casserole dish topped with baked beans and cheesey mash potatos using my HexA 42g low fat cheese on the top and 6 laughing cow extra lights stirred through

kinda living on the principle of today will be a flexi syn day as im using all my HExA's for cheesey mash and cant have a brew without milk so using milk also, dunno how many syns will be in lunch though shouldnt be many , im not going to stress about what i eat this weekend just be sensible about what i eat.
