A whole new world - my journey to become a mum and a healthy me!

[Jemima Doll]

Aaah thanks M.C. that's a really kind offer, unfortunately my comfort foods are things that can't really be adjusted like chocolate/sweets, cake/puddings, crisps/nuts, too much white bread toasted with butter, meat(with all the fat!) all the really high syn things that I just can't have. When I'm back in the zone I'm happy to have my chewy D bar and sugar free jelly to curb my sweet tooth, or i sometimes do quark with a packet of choc options stirred in which is nice, also I like pops crisps and the French fries which are low syn but it's just not the same as all the really naughty things!! BUT I know when all is said an done that I have to do this, and my health and future are far more important than the pleasure I get from these, so I just need to get on with again now and stop diverting as I'm only prolonging the misery for myself. I do need to be more creative like you, I get in a rut and eat a lot of the same things, do you know any nice easy recipies for something sweet but not sinful?? HA HA!!! My dog is doing ok a the moment, she has been running round with her ball, and even had a swim the other day..makes me happy that she is managing her condition well, still good days and bad but overall she's been really good in the last few weeks

Jemima have you heard of something called choc shot? I've seen it mentioned on various recipe pages but not used it myself. People use it in deserts to keep them low syn. Might be worth a look x

berries, squirty cream (low fat one is 1/2 a syn for 2 tbsp I believe) and a crumbled meringue?

or SW cake. 4 large eggs, separate the yolks from the whites, whisk the whites until they form stiff peaks, then with the yolks mix in some sweetner and vanilla essence and 1/2 a tea spoon of baking powder (half a syn)
fold in the whites and then line a baking tray with baking paper, pour mix on and bake for 12 mins or until golden.
Leave to cool and then spread a small bit of squirty cream (can use quark and sweetner but I didn't like it like so. you may like it though) and mixed berries. Then roll up like a swiss roll.. And there you have it SW friendly swiss roll for 3 syns for the whole lot if you use 10 tbsp low fat squirty cream, or half a syn for all if you use quark. And it has super free, too!

Wow M.C. that sounds delicious and something I'd never though of doing(I must use my imagination with food more!!) Going to try it for sure, thanks xxx

Choc shot sounds nice too Scarlet, never heard of it but will look in to this for sure Hope you are feeling better now xx

I managed to lose 5 1/2lb this week Really chuffed. FINALLY back on track which feels great. Made myself do lots of exercise which really made a difference, so I must keep doing more to move my big bum!! Don't expect to lose that much again for a while but it feels good, would be happy with a few pounds a week now. Love to you all, hope your all doing good xx

Brilliant Jemima well done! That's just the boost you've been needing, onwards and downwards from here honey have a great Monday xx

 

[Jemima Doll]

Thanks M.C. and Scarlet, I think it was just the boost I needed, I know next week I won't lose as much but I'd be so happy if I can lose 1-2lb a week from now on
Hope you are both doing well xxx

 

[scarlet79]

1-2 sounds achievable and even the small losses like 0.5-1lb add up over the weeks xx

Hi Jemima,

thought I would drop in and say hello as I have read yr posting and am glad to find someone on a similar weight loss journey as myself.

We will manage it. I have just signed up to lose 50 lbs by Christmas (eek). I just have to keep saying to myself "I can do this" and I hope it will keep me on track.

So keep yr chin up. This will work. I know from the last time, I went from 23 stn to 13 stn in 2 yrs!
