Supermarket shopping and staying positive lol

[Hamish's Mum]

Day 1 for me today and sent my OH food shopping this afternoon. He spent about £50 and bought nothing, multi-pack bottles of full fat iron bru, biscuits, several bars of expensive chocolate and even bought the dog rubbish dog food too.

As I have always been planning to try and do 3 packs plus protein and veg I had nothing to eat and was debating doing 4 packs today. But I thought stuff that I will just have to go to the supermarket hungry and make the best of it.

I was so surprised at how much I could eat, lots of fresh veg and chicken, turkey, and lots of fish bought I came out feeling really positive. It does not have to be as hard as I thought it would, I can try to make it work. I now have lots of choice for the next few days so no excuse to cave in.

Just gota keep drinking the water, think I will treat myself to a coke zero, lol

I love food shopping on plan but try only to go once a week otherwise I could easily spend a small fortune on veg!!

I mainly have cauliflower and brocolli for work - cook loads, portion it all up and take in to go with mealpack

Always get Asda zero/ diet cream soda

Plenty of options, making it as easy as possible for you is the main thing. I try to make meals indulgent as possible - packs it protein meals

Glad you had a positive experience, it gets easier

Had the macaroni chees with brocoli and cauliflower tonight, was tasty even if it didn't look it. Was quite runny and not much to it so I would have to have it with protein and veg to make it more of a meal. Thats day 1 almost over and I survied, even with a hangover!

I still do the supermarket shopping and I always buy myself a non-food treat, a nail varnish, glossy mag, nice bubble bath whatever, just so I've got something too besides a bit of veg (as I'm doing 4 packs a day)
