Enjoy your lunch with the ladies today, I like the idea of veggie couscous - I am sad to say I had to google where Eritrea was, that should be really good food. Can I ask how long have you been living abroad? I am taking it you are originally from the Uk if your sister sent you a care package? Glad u are on the mend and hope you got a better night with the lo x

I have been here now 2years. My husband got a job here and moving here was not something I was looking for. Its not easy moving to new country especially where the language is different. You will be surprised the amount of people who don't speak English.

However i went to German classes where i made friends and with the language I feel so much more relax.

Switzerland is such a beautiful country...expensive but you get what you pay for. Glad this is where my LO will be growing up.

Breakfast:3 x Weetabix (1 x HEB)and 250ml SS Milk(HEA)

Then it went wrong at the ladies luncheon...the idea of sticking to my couscous went outside the window.

Lunch: ALL in lil portions
Seafood fried rice, couscous, gluten crust free quiche, cheese and bacon quiche, tiny piece of wholemeal bread (15 syns)
Choloate cake, brownie and mini t-cake (15 syns)

Hope the unused syns cover the above. All i can say is I really enjoyed myself

Dinner: Yep! still ate dinner
Pork and veg couscous

I just gave my lunch random syns and hope that works. Still got Sundays lunch to survive.....I dont see me having a loss this week
On the upside hubby bought a Spinning bike which we should have on Sat.....so next week need to reject invitations and spin the numbers off

I think you are brave moving to another country, my partner is Dutch and would like to live abroad but I am concerned about money etc and like living in uk. You have done well learning the language am sure it makes it easier - how is it with baby groups etc? They have got rid of a lot here as sure start has been taken over.

Thanks! Baby groups wise maybe I am just not looking in the right place had been hard. Every Thursday like today I got to ladies prayer meeting it with run by expats so I get to socialize with a lot of int English speaking mums.

I found a local one which is on ever other two weeks so will be going to that for the 1st time next week.

I have a couple of friends with babies so try to liase with them.

I love the UK as that's home and my comfort however loving the things my children will have here.

Holland is a lovely place too....you just got to be prepared for a 1st year of change then after that it will be home. Be open to the idea.

I am in bed thinking!

Oh Why!

I can truly say I ate them out of boredom and not because I need to. I didn't even fancy something sweet just ate them as OH was tucking into them...

Oh well that's today! Done and dusted bring on tomorrow's challenge.

I am looking forward to put this week behind me hopefully with no gain and next week need to avoid temptations

You just have to forgive yourself and move on. I have had a terrible week for chocolate and pasta and the usual cheese and I don't have the excuse of eating out or with friends. Some weeks we just need to make the best of it. I had a sts after a week on hols and had a few indulgences then so you never know x

It's so easy to eat the wrong things. Must say though that I didn't keep going like I would have in the past. Whatever I had is just not accountable by my syns.

Your right I forgive myself.
Really hoping for no gain
