Hiya all,
Just a quick question. Ive got into the habit of having the choc food pack, warm before bed, but have been adding a tablet sweetener to it, to make it taste nicer. Do you all think this is ok? I know u can have tablet sweetener with black tea/ coffee, and i dont have that. So thought adding it to a shake would be ok, but now im concerned...what do you guys think? Ps your posts are so inspirational to me! keep up the good works guys!!! xxx

Hi Ria
If you look on page 3 (which I would call page 1?) of your LL foundation book, under You can have, it says UNLIMITED tablet sweeteners.
So there you go!! Nothing to worry about!!
BTW
I tried making muffins last night. I think they need a bit more work but I can see that they could be really nice. Note, they do need quite a lot of sweetener but seeing as we can have unlimited numbers of them, that's ok!
Also, over the last couple of evenings I have made myself Veggie soup pack crisps and they are actually really nice!!!
I'm going to get more veggie soup packs now so that I can have crisps every night instead of my usual chocolate shake!
I like them slightly thicker and you have to make sure it goes properly brown to get a really nice crunch and taste!
Yum!!

blimey Samseal! That sounds a bit scary?! Hope you're ok now?!
You sound like you've taken it in your stride? But what a bummer about not being able to drive when you've just bought a new car!!!
Part of LL though is trying to look for the positives and not to let a negative situation bring on those bad old habits of letting something bad be an excuse to eat.
So well done for turning it around and thinking of it as an excuse to walk more!!
OATUS
my update from weigh in last night:
I've lost another 5lbs since last week so that brings my LL weight loss total to 23lbs, which is more in line with my own scales loss of 25. Still prefer my scales!)
We got measured as well and I have lost a total of 11 1/2 inches!! very impressed with that!
Although one lady had lost a total of 17 inches!!
so feeling good especially about sitting watching telly last night with my soup foodpack crisps while my partner scoffed a takeaway curry next to me!!
It really wasn't too bad at all.
I actually felt sorry for her cos she was feeling really guilty for wanting a curry. I ended up snapping at her when she asked for the fourth time if I really didn't mind if she had a curry!! She makes more of a fuss about these things than I do!!
If I say it's ok, it's ok. If I had a real problem I'd say so and probably go and read in the bedroom which is what I did on the second day of LL but by this stage being around other people eating is not a major problem. I can't say I don't have slight yearnings but nothing major..
What do the rest of you feel like? being around food? preparing it? being around other people eating?
