Is there a certain food you just won't allow yourself to have?

Butter! Haven't had it for mobths! Don't even like it anymore!

I'm exactly the same when it comes to butter.

I have a take away treat of king prawns,spring onion and ginger (I syn it at 5 syns) fried rice 4 syns so that's only 9 syns once in a while.Or boiled rice free? If you don't have any treats you'll more likely grab fish n chips or dominoes. Xx

After saying that there was nothing I had given up I've remembered something. Chicken skin off a roast chicken. It's lovely but far too fatty!

Not done so far . Willpower is very strong and the moment. I will have treats just when I feel they are necessary . Besides I'm enjoying experimenting with new fruits vegetables and reciepes . I'm enjoying creating different things and actually enjoying what I eat. My consultant told me to just think about the reasons you are doing this if you feel like a burger or something . That's enough to stop me and seeing how well the weight is coming off I think I'm doing well

Most things I think you can incorporate into plan really well. Some things I have chosen to really reduce because they just don't seem worth the syns now - such as alcohol. I only have bread once a week but that is because we make our own so it can't strictly be considered a HEB but once a week it magically transforms into a HEB on a Saturday morning so I can have a bacon sandwich or egg on toast. I used to snack on bread and cheese alot, far more my downfall than sweet things, but don't really feel the need anymore.

The things that I really miss but can't incorporate into the plan because the syns are just crazy are slow roast belly pork and duck breasts. Mmmmmm. Its not like I had these things that regularly before but now they are a once or twice a year off-plan treat.

Nutella

That made me laugh. I bought some of that to make the pretend ferrero rocher (or however you spell it) and ended up eating the rest of the jar.

I daren't buy it again

For tea I'm having a roast chicken dinner. The chicken is cooked in fat but if I dont have skin and just breast will that be syns? I'm on EE, thanks!

Why couldn't you have the duck breasts if you removed the fat? Duck is a free food on EE and Red days

Peanut butter - I know you can have it but I always feel gross and like I have put on weight within minutes of eating it. Love it though. One for me to avoid.

 

[BuzzyBee]

I refuse to eat SMASH and SPAM for non weight loss related reasons.
It's more alcohol that I'm trying to abstain from..

I'm the same! When its in I can always hear it calling me from the fridge, so made the decision to bin the jar x

The problem with it is that even though you can have it, you can't have enough to spread it half an inch thick on your toast!

Or the jam on top!

 

[Shirleen]

Or the lashing of butter underneath!

 

[ladyantionette]

I only avoid white bread as if I even eat one slice I will eat the loaf - nothing wrong with your 2 pieces of wholemeal

 

[liliferjade]

Crumpets! Because I like to keep on spreading the butter, when it melts I put more on etc etc so there must be thousands of syns involved! I'd rather have no crumpet than have one with a tiny amount of butter, its just not the same.
