Hi
Chicken breast, glazed with lavender and honey with braised lettuce and cucumber.
BreakfastâŠporridge
lunchâŠlentil & carrot soup,
DinnerâŠlamb chops mixed vegâ.
Yes, as long as it is whole meal breadâ2 slices a dayâbut other bread has to be counted in your allowance. Unlimited pastaâdo not know about potatoes, i do not eat them.
but I do not normally have pasta and bread on the same day.
I think with the lettuce thingâit does not seem to have much nutrition-I stick to peppers, celery, carrotts, fine green beans, mange tout , white cabbage. --I love peppersâbasic range at Sainburysâup to 6 for ÂŁ1.00âtaste the same as those that are 60p eachâi love the red peppers bestâeat them a lotâgreat raw or in a stir fry.
I have no idea what Iâm eating today. But yesterday for lunch I had butternut squash fritters, cottage cheese and a veggie burger (bunless) with sliced raw onion and tomato.
I had my usual breakfastâand tonight I plan to have a hb egg. tomato sandwich on whole meal breadânot sure about lunch-not really hungryâI love ryvita Crackerbreads so I may have a couple with houmous.
yesterdayâmy normal breakfast
home made veg quiche at lunchâno pastry
home made tomato soupâmixed with pasta and mixed veg
banana
That sounds good, Mariana. I love homemade soups.
What I want today and what I should have are 2 different things. I want a whole pile of Taco Bell dumped in front of me, haha!
I know what you meanâalthough I am gradually getting used to eating more healthily.
Oh I completely enjoy eating healthful foods, itâs fun experimenting with new recipes especially. And I still eat my Taco Bell on occasion. I donât believe in deprivation. Iâve tried that in the past and it didnât work. It was very depressing going on these âdietsâ (dieting is probably what made me fat in the first place) knowing certain foods were completely restricted. And by restricting foods I loved - foods that werenât particularly great for me - I eventually caved and gave up and that was that. If I ate one thing I really wasnât supposed to, Iâd feel I had blown the whole thing, so Iâd throw in the towel altogether. Thatâs why most diets fail. The regimen is so strict that if a dieter goes off track just a little bit, they feel like a failure and they give up. Thatâs why dieting doesnât work. Itâs not a long term solution and itâs not sustainable for life.
Nope, I still eat my favorite foods, I just eat them in moderation. The thought of going the rest of my life without pizza or fried chicken or my beloved Taco Bell is a pretty dismal outlook
Hi
I am losing the weight but not the inches, I want my 34 inch waist back.
Whatâs this waist thing you speak of? Iâve never heard of it before.
funnily enough i am the other way round-i am losing the inchs, but not the weightâalthough this morning, I went down into the next stoneâwhich is the lowest i have been for many many years.
and ps Lindaâi agree with every word you sayâthats why i love the Slimming world plan. As long as you include it in your count, no food is forbidden.
Thatâs the way it should be. This isnât a diet, itâs a lifestyle change. And, like I said, deprivation doesnât work. At least not for me. I eventually cave and eat the refrigerator
Congrats on the loss
Today itâs:
Breakfast: Bran Flakes.
Dinner: Chicken Curry & Rice.
Supper: Probably a sandwich.
love chicken curryâas long as its a mild oneâkorma !
Oh no, not a Korma Mariana, too mild for me, hotter the better for me.
I make my own Curry from scratch, because I know what I am putting in it, these jars of curry sauce has got a lot of sugar and fat in them.
I make curry at least once a week, either Indian, Chinese or Thai.
Morninâ Lassies,âŠI know Iâll never get My 24" waist back again,Iâm stuck at 32" and I think thatâs where itâll stay so I wonât let it bother Me
Having an indulgence day so probably a Chinese lunch and a couple of glasses of wine with Daughter,throwing caution to the wind for once, :-p
My cousin and I are going out for Chinese this weekend. Yum!
Weigh-in day. Lost another pound. Iâm quite surprised, actually, since I ate somewhat carelessly over the last weekend. But scale still moving in the right direction.
Lost 2 pounds at Slimming worldâso thats 8 pounds in the last few weeksâ
got a certificate too !! But I had already lost quite a lot before I joined.
Woohoo Mariana,well done
We didnât have a Chinese meal after all but went for a walk around Strathclyde loch,then into the Carvery for roast beef and all the trimmingsâŠordered cheesecake for afters but couldnât finish it,far too sweet,so My sugar cravings seem to be long gone thank goodness.
