I thought I would start this thread as ,,,.well we all know why don't we?
But I thought if we started to note our little indescretions down, we might see how many we actually have.

I thought I had been fairly good yesterday until I wrote down everything, so here goes for me and it isn't so little!!!


1 prawn vol au vent
1 goats cheese and caramelised onion tart
1/2 bowl of those little round almond biscuits
a handful of salt and vinegar crisps (and don't even like them!)

I was at a party and the nibbles were put right in front of me.
I avoided all cake and alcohol etc and thought I had been good but these are quite on the naughty side really!!😱
 
Hmmm won't tell you about my medium fries 9 chicken nuggets and Big Mac then 😱

In my defence that is all I had to eat yesterday though :D
 
My guilt has eased a little Alison - Ha ha.:D

Do you think now you have to post it - it will make you think twice next time?
Thats my aim anyway!🙂
 
Not at all Lucy I have a McD's once a week its my treat and usually I don't have anything else that day so surely it can't be all that bad can it?
 
I won't even start listing my indescretions from yesterday. But suffice to say that they were numerous.

However, I had quite a few good things to say exercise wise. But, in the interests of balance, I won't mention them either! :D

Andy 🙂

p.s. My weight is still down on the week. But not enough to post yet.

Hi Alison -there aren't any rules in here, it is your choice how you lose weight - thats what is good isn't it! No Rules - yeah!!

Just one question though - are we not supposed to eat 3 meals a day with a small amount of carb to keep our sugars okay? Only a thought - not suggesting you change anything mind!🙂

That's my understanding, but the odd transgression won't make too much difference.

My eating pattern was rubbish yesterday, but I'm back on track today. 🙂
 
I really struggle with 3 meals a day, pre diagnosis I was finding I was only having one meal a day, not ideal I know but whats the point in eating if you're not hungry? Usually now thou I tend to have breakfast skip lunch and then have dinner although if I do need something midafternoon I do.

How about reducing the portion sizes? However, if they're small already then are you sure that you're eating enough?

Spreading the meals through the day is the ideal though because it'll reduce the level of any bg spikes. But at the end of the day, it's down to your style really. You should continue to do what works well for you.

Andy 🙂
 
Today 1 glass of rose with chicken dinner
 
I have already cut portion sizes by half (still not losing weight though 😡). I usually find I need a snack around 3pm so will have something then and as we don't eat dinner til 7-8pm ish it works wel. Don't woory I won't starve :D
 
I've been looking at the coffee and walnut cake sitting in my fridge all day. Does that count? 🙂
 
Coffee and walnut cake would be an easy one for me to refuse don't like coffee or chocolate cakes, chocolate desserts or chocolate drinks 😱

But love chocolate bars.

My confession is a snack size Aero bar but it was only 111 calories only problem is there is one left and it keeps shouting from the fridge eat me eat me🙂

Well the question is Andy- is it still a whole cake and how did it get there in the first place!🙄🙄
 
Well, I have been digging into a tin of Quality Street and although I told myself that I would eat just one per day, the handful I took have all disappeared!! Papers are in the bin.

Ah well.
 
I had one of those low BGs this morning (2.9) which make me want to eat anything I can get my hands on - so I had lucozade, a crunchie bar and some dolly mixtures - although I was very good and afterwards counted them into my weightwatchers propoints allowance - it would have been nice to count them towards something that wasn't hypo related but c'est la vie!!!

I don't have any more nice things in the house, so will make do with other nice, healthier things for the moment. 🙂
 
Yes Andy, of course you will!!! :D
