Hello there Jim!
Thought you'd left me!Popped by your diary earlier but u weren't about...I'll pop back later.
...
Maybe I'm eating too much spinach...
Not possible!!!
And no, I haven't left you.
I'm just still working through some stuff.
I'll be back soon.
Pommette
Trying - very!
Sarah - Rather than being "OFF" why don't you set a syns limit and take it as a flexi-day? Just a thought.

Hmmm, Bev. I could.
What I will do is be exceedingly good tomorrow until I start drinking in the evening. But then I might have quite a lot!
And on Saturday, the off plan bit is a Luxury Cream tea. Which involves scones, sandwiches, cake... and where I'm not prepared to cut back because that's the sole point of us being there.
However I will also be very good until we go out, and I'm pretty sure I won't want to eat when we get back!
So I won't exactly be on Flexi Days, but I'll be working around the bad bits as well as I can.
Is that ok?

Ok - I'll let you off then.

I found a thread on the roulade that actually makes a lot of sense to me and is very thought provoking.

Have a read and let me know your thoughts!

Yes, I have read that thread before.
I have mixed views.
On the one hand, it has definitely got a lot of calories in, and it's food that is being eaten possibly unnecessarily, in addition to a main meal.
On the other hand, SW is NOT a calorie controlled diet.
If it were, we wouldn't eat a heck of a lot of things that we're allowed.
And as long as the roulade is eaten in accordance with the general SW rules, ie 2/3 superfree, it SHOULDN'T cause any problems.
I think it's one of those things that we have to start to think about if/when losses slow down, if we're still doing everything else exactly as we should be. But then we have to reconsider lots of things when we get to that point: upping the superfree, or the superspeed, reducing the syns...
I suppose if we were all saints, we'd be following the over-riding SW (& general weight loss) principle, which is to eat until we're not hungry, rather than until we're almost fit to burst. In which case we'd rarely have puddings at all. But we're not saints, (most of us!!!), and being able to have a pudding within SW principles is pretty good. But we do have to bear in mind that it's an extra on top of our main meal, and not do it ALL of the time.
So - yes the thread makes sense, and is worth thinking about. But you can't NEVER eat nice extras!
Moderation in all things.
(How boring.)
