All the better ! Great! Have decided I'm a masochist. I've been baking for the kids today- lemon drizzle cake, blueberry and crunchy coconut loaf and iced Madeira cake.... Talk about living vicariously through your children torture !!

Oh my word I'm drooling just reading that! I'd love to try some baking but I just no I couldn't resist!

Gosh what a lovely Mum u r and a good cook too - it'd take me a week to bake that lot - they sound yummy - will u be able to have a taste? I'm not sure how Slimming World's lemon couscous cake would work out on WW but the ingredients are couscous, egg, lemon and lot fat yogurt - it's yummy with sweetened quark or a complementary low fat yog - recipe all over the web! Hope the children enjoy their treats!

I pointed out all the things I've baked and they're 6pp - so not actually that bad for something so delicious ! Problem is, they're too Moreish so better not to start in the first place !! I did taste them, but just a teeny wee corner and used a few points to cover it. I iced the Madeira cake with pink icing and coconut - my favourite I think ! Sorry - really not helping am I ? Lol. The reason I bake for the girls (7 year old twins and 3 year old) is I like them to eat really healthy, unprocessed food and I'd rather bake their sweet stuff than buy expensive things full of nasties. It's ironic, really, that I'm so virtuous about their diet and I'm overweight myself ! I really want them to grow up to have a healthy attitude toward food and not have to go through all this dieting / self hating crap :-( x

Yes ur a martyr to the cause - strangely enough, although I've been dieting all my adult life - I tried hard with my 3 three boys & ensured they had a healthy diet - they're grown up now and are all slim, love sport & exercise and the 2 that are married are bringing up their little ones the healthy way - it's such a good thing to do 4 ur children - well done. Let's try to be kinder to ourselves too!

I love this, you sound like such an amazing mum I don't have kids but I am nervous about that whole side of things as I really don't want my kids growing up having a warped opinion of themselves or a negative relationship with food.


I have planned most of my eating for the week so hopefully that will make things a bit easier for me. I had a little blow out on Friday but that was cos it was valentines day, not because it was weigh in day, so I don't feel too bad about it and am hoping to have a good week this week, fingers crossed!

Thanks for updating! Sorry I never do it but I find it a bloody nightmare on the ipad!

 

[CatA]

Tis a nightmare on the phone too, I can do it on there but takes forever as if I click off the message box it jumps back to top each time so a nightmare scrolling each time :lol:

That's why I waited til I got the laptop out earlier...much easier!

Either that or I do at work while bored lol

Glad u'v planned ur week - go for it this week - I think we need to build in some flexibility in for special days like Valentines - certainly can't see me on an inflexible plan 4 the rest of my life!

I would love to lose about 5 stone this year, I don't know how it is possible but want to do it!!

Hi - good luck with that goal - just done a quick calc on my fingers and reckon it's doable cos it's less than 2 lbs a week - done on calculator now - it's 1.67 lbs a week - go for it and keep posting and u'll get loads of support!

 

[Autumn500]

Glad u'v planned ur week - go for it this week - I think we need to build in some flexibility in for special days like Valentines - certainly can't see me on an inflexible plan 4 the rest of my life!

I'm feeling positive at the minute, this thread has been invaluable to me I'm trying yo remember that this whole thing will have to be a lifestyle change and I need to learn how to deal with special occasions or unexpected events rather than avoiding them

Thanks autumn and upndown for your lovely words - I do try to be a great mum (I had a terrible childhood so want my own girls to be happy and secure which they def are ) yes it's so important not to have a negative attitude around food and kids - girls are SO impressionable. We never mention diets around them. The words fat and ugly are just absolute no go words in our home. Luckily the 3 of them are very healthy and may it continue !
I think we def should have a Valentines contingency !! I just tried on dresses in the shop and a 12 fitted ! I'm so happy about that ! It's a fitted pinstriped pinafore style and I love it! I have a job interview next week it's for that. X
