PP Dinners

[Jojobear]

Was thinking of having Weight watchers spinach & Ricotta cannelloni and WW Garlic Bread for dinner 2moro night this totals : 15pp is this to much points for dinner? it sounds alot ... I keep telling myself to have veg with the meal but if I have the points should I use 15 at once? just dont wanna over do it

I often have more than 15PP for dinner I can be bad at just eating fruit for lunch, so I have sometimes had more than 20PP for dinner. obviously you're best to spread your points out more evenly during the day in general, but having a high pointed dinner every so often has never done me any harm

It's hard to know isn't it.. Like you think "should I eat that many in the evening" but it is Friday night and I already gave up my beloved alcohol !!!

 

[jeveuxtarevanche]

If you gave up your alcohol I think you DESERVE a high pp dinner!

 

[Jojobear]

Yep! i gave up alcohol i like bulmers/magners and a can is 5pp and i can drink like a fish! and everytime i got drunk i would eat everything and a chinese the next day so i decided that if I am ever going to lose this weight I need to sacrifice and I am just taking one day at a time

Good woman! I'm like that with choccy and sweets, but I gav eup verything for lent - except cream buns. So i went mad on them instead ;( but now Lent is almost over i'm gonna be sensible with my treats and do it the way I'm supposed to
Also doing the mini-marathon with my future M-I-L so I have to get fit!

That's a good incentive I'm already dry in my mouth no matter how much water I drink it won't go away... Think it's my brain saying "what's goin on? Aren't you supposed to be drunk by now.. It's Friday " I miss it. I really like my drink at the weekends and this will be my first weekend in years without it. A little down about it but I got myself in to this mess I'm gonna have to get myself out ! I don't actually have a sweet tooth and I ate an Easter egg today!!

I would not drink anything other than blue wkd which is a ridiculous 6 pp per bottle!

So I've moved onto vodka diet lemonade and lime- much less at 3 pp.

I couldn't completely give it up- well done you

 

[jeveuxtarevanche]

I couldn't give it up totally either, but things have to be done sometimes!

I binge when I'm drunk and last drink I had was last Saturday and I ordered a 12 inch pizza and chips the next day and ate it all... And since that night I haven't drank and haven't broken my plan so it's the best thing for me. I'm also turning 30 next month and revaluating my life and I have been suffering from depression and anxiety and confidence issues for two year (hence the weight gain I was a ten) and found I was getting a bit of a drink problem and I don't want to be an alcoholic in 5-10 years I am better than that. And I already feel better for it. My eyes are even brighter today.

Good woman! Be strong! You've got help all around you Keep your chin up and you'll be so proud of yourself! x

I don't really drink much but when I do, any reasonable decision making skills go out the window n I will eat with wild abandon. So I empathise with those on the booze n food wagon. It'll b worth it x
