Hi joodle, have seen ur posts lots but never properly spoken!
I love conso. It's challenging but it's my favourite stage so far, it's so much more adaptable to life!!
Last nights haggis pizza was lovely,
No starter, desert or crisps!! Had had mini sausages to stave off hunger earlier.
Then... A bit of an alcohol blowout!! Had far too much to drink (so much so that I lost all the previous calories in the early hours...classy)
Today was more difficult as I couldn't have a post drinking macdonalds! Had two venison burgers and went to see Andy Murray in dunblane
Today's menu:
2 venison burgers
M and s prawns, breasola and salt beef
6 venison sausages.
Forgot to defrost pasta bake so having tomorrow instead so will have apple, porridge, bread and fruit at bedtime!!
Also two thirty minute walks
Joodle- hang in there!! You CAN do it. I feel so much better resisting those food demons although they'll never go completely I know I'm stronger than they are!!
Massive cyber hugs!

Thank you soooo much for this post Eilidh. On reading it I instantly thought how much difference a mind set makes. Here am I thinking 'oh god, I hate conso, I can't do it, I can't handle just small amounts of things like bread' while you're approaching it like 'great, this is making life easier, it's much easier than cruise!'. Much for me to ponder as I figure out my way ahead, especially your comment about food demons always being there. Maybe that's just what I need to accept and deal with....
In other news - fab photos of Andy Murray! And nice to have Dunblane known for something other than a terrible tragedy too to be honest, not that that will be forgotten. I suspect he's grumpy because he is fed up with the English press trying to claim him for their own the whole time - it's clear how much his home fans mean to him. I read he asked the organisers to make sure he had plenty of time for the walkabout, which says a lot really.
Ok, am going to read your full diary tonight and use it to get my head straight!!
Thanks a million,
Jx

Thanks joodle I'm glad I was of some help! I like conso- I can join in with others and having a little is better than missing out completely!! I'm still stuffin myself with protein too!!
I'm not the best consoer- I eat packaged venison products with wee nasties, I have too much skimmed milk and too much sweetner and fizzy juice but I feel it's working ( weighing next week!).
I find planning gala meals is ace- thinking who / what and where so I can eat with friends and family who have watched me eat just steak when out, and have treats !!
Best of luck!
Ps just saw self on tv behind Murray. Crazed!!!

Totally agree with you about Conso, and about the demons being there but you knowing them for what they are - you can acknowledge them then walk away.
And Jude, you'll do it, especially as, as you say yourself, your foods of choice are largely healthy ones (unless you're deliberately pressing the self-destruct button) xx

Ended up having my bread and cheese allowance around 0010 as I only just got in from Kevin bridges. Not counting it as today though making it part of Wednesday as today is pp thur. Also had my apple!!
Planned for tomorrow. Boiled eggs. Mince. And more mince. Lack of money for more food so using up the reduced stuff in the freezer.
Humph. Gala Friday! And starch sat/sun!

I like your thinking Eilidh, PP Thursday doesn't start until you wake up!
You've also reminded me of my confusion when I first moved up to Scotland (20 years ago, stayed there for 15 before moving back down). Someone asked if I'd like a can of juice and I was utterly confused when they gave me a can of Irn Bru. I was expecting fruit juice in a can - we just wouldn't call fizzy drinks in a can 'juice' where I'm from. And that was just the start of the confusion and having to learn lots of new expressions so as to 'fit in'!
Enjoy PP day, hope you don't turn in to mince...or start talking it! Jx

Thanks sid. I'm going to be naughty tonight though. Gala today but tomorrow I'm having my first night out at home in over a year and want a drink. Im having one glass tonight too. I shouldn't feel guilty about having drinks after how tough things have been (in life) recently. X
