PeggyBlue's Diary - a little bit about me ....hopes, plans and dreams
- Thread starter Peggyblue
- Start date
Drank my 4 litres yesterday....feel fabulous!!!! So keeping that up to get to the 14 something stage. If I get there next Saturday I will be so delighted!!! Might even book myself in to get my hair done .... Talking of hair - still using the coconut oil on it twice a week and had loads of compliments about it and it's shine. Something to consider girls.
I really wanted food last night..... Now before I start my rant I didn't have food but I have a major issue with myself over it...... So annoyed with myself whenever I have a freak out and that's when I want food. I don't want healthy food I want rubbish. Like last night I wanted disco crisps!!!! what and why???? It just means when I'm off this diet I will struggle to keep the weight off!!!!!!!! How do I survive?? Does anyone know anyone who lost a lot and kept it off. How do they maintain??? I know I've a long way to go but I really want to keep this all off long term. This journey is weird!?!?!
Just found this.....it may help when we r struggling
These were the recipes that were posted on here. Hope its helpful
They say that you should only "cook" with your packs once a day tho as it take some of the nutrients out
Chocolate/Vanilla/strawberry Flavours
Muffin
1.Put a little BOILING WATER into a ramekin dish, or whatever you have - thick mug or similar (about 2 desert spoons to begin with - you can add more later if necessary)
2. Add the choc pack (or whatever flavour you desire) and mix it to a THICK PASTE so thick you think it’s too thick!
3. Put into the microwave on high for just over a minute - if it looks a bit soggy in the middle put it back for about 10 seconds or so.....
BE CAREFUL IT DOES'NT BURN!!!!
Ice Cream
Put 11 ice cubes in a liquidiser (a strong one) and crush the ice. Add a food pack (chocolate is a good one!) - add a small amount of water (about 2 tbsp) and liquidise for 5 mins. You end up with a big bowl of "ice cream"
Smoothie
Place 10-16 ice cubes (depending on your preference), a pint of water, and your food pack in a Smoothie Maker and blend for approx. 3 mins. Makes about 2 pints of delicious cold frothy whatever flavour you like.
Bar of Chocolate!
You can make chocolate out of a chocolate pack! Mix pack with a bit of water till you have a thick paste, then spread on some tin foil and put in the freezer for an hour or more. It really tastes quite like chocolate!
Variation : Use half chocolate and half vanilla for a Mars bar!
Chocolate Biscuit
Put sparkling water into a chocolate pack and then add a pinch of salt. Put this on a small plate, round it into a biscuit shape and bake it in the microwave for 2.30 minutes. The result is a crunchy chocolatey biscuit with a “dunking” texture.
Chocolate Fudge
1 packet of chocolate
1/4 cup of hot water
2 or more sweeteners
1tsp of coffee (if you like)
Mix well - it should look like a thick chocolate soup. Microwave it for 2 minutes. It comes out as a thick gooey mess, which tastes like fudge!
Caffe Latte
Mix a hot vanilla shake add a teaspoon of coffee and some sweeteners
“Chocolate Pudding & Chocolate Sauce”
Microwave most of the choc pack like a cookie but keep some aside and mix into a thick paste whilst the muffin is cooking. Take muffin out and smear with thick choc goo and eat, it really does taste nice and cools the muffin down. I suppose this can be done with vanilla 'icing' too.
Chocolate Custard
Dissolve a sweetener in approx 70 mls hot water. Add a chocolate pack. Microwave for approx 40 secs. Makes a lovely hot chocolate custard.
Hot ChocoMint
Make up some strong peppermint tea. Mix a chocolate pack with hot water and a couple of sweeteners (depending on your taste) add the tea. Microwave for approx. 20 secs and stir (better if you whisk with an aerolatte) – Divine!
Soups
Chicken Stuffing
Mix as you would do for a chocolate muffin but use a packet of chicken soup instead. Cook in microwave for 1.40 secs or more or less depending on how dry you like it.
Poppadom’s
Mix a soup pack into a smooth paste, spread on a plate or greaseproof paper and microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 mins.when it starts to bubble open up and let it settle for a sec. keep opening and letting it settle until (the poppadom) starts to turn golden (don't take your eyes off it)!!! - when it is golden brown take it out and let it cool, then peel it off and enjoy
Be careful of overcooking, as this will make them taste slightly bitter.
Crisps
Mix a soup pack, black pepper, salt and Tabasco to paste using sparkling water. Spoon tiny bite size pieces onto some baking parchment/greaseproof paper. Put in the microwave for approx 1 min depending on the power of your microwave – mine is 900 watts and I put them in for 1 min. If you wish you can shake some salt over them when they are finished.

It's funny how emotional u become on this diet. People say it is the fat being churned in ur body and releasing hormones. I must say I've become a stronger person in work. I don't take any crap!!!!! Also I clean like a mad thing!!!! And clothes become a dream rather tha n a nightmare
. Things look sooooooo much better when you r thinner. I know my weight loss has slowed down and though I'm starting these weight loss challenges I'm doing dire at them but I'm happier and that is the key to this..... 1 pound at a time ;-). Slow but sure!!!!

I agree with you on this. I'm feeling much stronger in myself and quite confident at the moment, but also may be getting a little tetchy towards my OH. My house has never been so tidy as I have suddenly found this need to clean and tidy everything around me, so I've been throwing things out and having a real clear out. Maybe it's triggered me into wanting to declutter other areas of my life too. I've never had an empty draining board before but I wash the pots every time I make a shake and put everything away again. This is new to me. Confused but determined.
