[liisa]

Had to have my dinner at 4 because I was hungry. Now it's 9 and I'm hungry again. Should plan my eating better when I've got long days like that.

 

[Pink!]

Heya, well done for being so good on holiday! If you can do that, you can do anything

Maybe you should try having 6 smaller meals on long days? Or 3 medium meals and 3 healthy snacks?

Best wishes.

 

[liisa]

Yeah I guess something like that would work. I think it's just not about long days only it's also about being home. Why is home making your hungry?! I don't feel hungry in other people's homes. Even when I'm very very bored in there.

Anyway...enough of whining I think I'm going to aim for 1000 calories from now on. Yes I know it's not good and so on, but I go over my 1200 all the time! (I haven't written it all in my diary but I do) so if I aim for 1000 and then I go over I end up on 1200!
I'm just fooling myself into it...shh...don't make me think about it or I will get it

Breakfast:
Formage Frais 85

Lunch:
cod/mash/peas/salad 350
coffee 20

afternoon snack

tin of tuna 150
salad 30
tomato 30
cottage cheese 50
ww yoghurt 50
ww cookies 100
a bit of pasta dinner with veggie sausages 200

Total: 1220

 

[Pink!]

Lol. Bless.
It;s just a habit, eating at home. Why not pick up an evening hobby, like embroidery or knitting, or card-making, anything that keeps your hands busy while you're sitting in front of the telly.
I try to drink a pint of water before every snack, 1. to see if I'm really hungry, or just bored or thirsty, and 2. because usually i just snack for the sake of having something to do, and by the end of the pint I realise that I don't really want anything.

Hope that you have a good Thursday

 

[liisa]

I think it was actually pretty good Thursday.
I had small breakfast and controlled lunch, and dinner went a bit wrong because I was ready to eat at 6 and my bf wasn't and my head was too tired to think what to make for dinner so I had tuna salad with some cottage cheese. (Should have had a warm meal really) Then he decided to make food (pasta with veggie sausages) around 8 and I had little bit too. But that was that snacking allowance (the one I don't want to talk about because I'm on 1000 calories per day LOL).
Then we watched some 'The Thick of It' in bed and I fell asleep. Woke up around 12 and had to have a slice of ww lemon cake and a cereal bar 140 cal all together...That was my emergency snack. Stupid pasta food snack.
Anyway...rambling again like I do...
Starting my day lightly again. Well...I did have breakfast 1 ww yogurt and a coffee an hour ago and I feel hungry again Will have some fruit in a bit. Oh should have that water what Pink was recommending so highly x

Breakfast:
ww yoghurt 50
coffee 30

Lunch:
ww beef hotpot with salad 250
coffee 30
apple 50

Cal so far: 450

 

[liisa]

I just remembered...when I weighed 10 stone 8 pounds I felt no different. I felt as fat as I feel now

 

[Pink!]

Hey, sounds like a pretty good day on Thurs, even with the snacking, no worries.

When you reach 10 st this time you'll feel fabulous! It;s all a matter of perspective. Last time you were 10st you'd never been any heavier, this time you'll be like 'I'm soooo much slimmer than I was this time last year'.
You'll be great, no worries hun.

 

[xCoochx]

I have the thoughts that when i weighed 10st i felt fat then and wasn't happy but I'm hoping it'll be like Pink! said, i'd never been heavier than that before so when i get to 10st i'll probably feel really slim just compared to what i'm used to feeling lol.
I like your logic about the 1000 cals so that you can have 1200 lol thats my kinda way of thinking x

 

[liisa]

Haha. It's great how the mind works!
I'm sure it'll be different. I didn't appreciate it first time around. Won't let it go again! Thanks for the kind words.

Went out for food yesterday. I made a good choice and had a omelette. Left the coleslaw and chips. But after went to exhibition opening and had 3 glasses of wine, and then 2 pints at the pub and 1 more pint in the other. So that wasn't so good. Stupid alcohol being so high calorie!

Anyway today...Got a little hangover. Had a ww yoghurt for breakfast and ww Mexican chilli with salad for lunch. Oh and glass of juice.

Half of prawn sandwich 160 cal.! Yay! I had some bread! I love bread. Haven't had bread for a long time! LOL

Made a curry for dinner. Chicken and vegetable with balti sauce. Had broccoli instead of rice. It was very yummy and filling. How many calories...no idea really. 100 grams of that sauce is about 100 calories. Plus chicken and veggies. I'll put 500 for that.
And then I had ww yogurt for dessert.
Very good day indeed for a hangover day!
Had some nuts and couple of sweets too.

Total so far: 1200

 

[Pink!]

Hahaha not bad for a hangover day! I had a fried egg sandwhich the minute I woke up when I was hung-over the other day.
Bread is amazing.

Hope you're having a good weekend.

 

[liisa]

Mmm..I want more bread. Might bake on today. Got leftover yeast from Tuesday what needs using. Too bad I can't eat it

Food today:
ww yoghurt
coffee
apple 50

lunch:
ww chicken hotpot +salad+ couple of slices of ham while the microwave was on 400

prawn coctail salad 200
breaded fish, lots of veg and beans 500

Total : 1200 + sweets (I think 500 cal perhaps

 

[ImLosingWeight]

Hey just thought i'd write a quick post to say i've been following your journey since you started and you're doing realy well! 13ibs lost and your managing to still enjoy your life / drink now and again, and maintain a healthy diet otherwise, so you're doing great. Looking forward to seeing you get closer to your target month on month. GL for your next weigh in!

 

[Hanscbrinker]

Someone say bread???

 

[Pink!]

Aw, you could make a proper loaf to give to someone and make yourself a mini-loaf as your sunday treat? A little bit won hurt if it's only every now and then.
Best wishes.

 

[liisa]

Aww thanks ImLosingWeight! (I always laugh when I have to address someone with their online nickname) It's very nice of you to pop by and say that! What about yourself? 35 pounds?! Thats amazing and you just started.
Yeah I have tried all kinds of diets before but if I don't like someone telling me that I can't have something so I find it's better if I can have everything and say no to myself. If you know what I mean

LOL Hans. Just the smell of imaginary bread!!!!

Pink - I'm not actually not too bothered not eating it. At work they call me the feeder already. I love to bake pies and cakes and bread and then feed it to other people. I rarely eat anything I make myself (because I know what goes inside there to make it so yummy!)

Hope that you all are having a lovely Sunday! x
