To be honest if Ellie is following either green days or Extra easy then potatoes are a staple peice of her free food which she can eat as much as she wants to, the only proviso on this being if its extrea easy shes following that 1/3 of the plate be superfree foods eg fruit and veg.
Please dont criticise what someone is doing when you clearly have no idea how this food optimising plan works..
People like you make people like ellies lives unnecessarily stressful so please butt out unless you have something useful to say

Really appreciate the comments guys. Was lovely to wake up this morning and read all your support.
Feeling a lot better now, also lost a pound at WI this morning so chuffed.

I've never done Slimming World so I don't know how the syns work and what's free or not. I do know however, that potatoes= carbs and I find cutting back on the carbs helps me loose weight. I'm no expert though, if I was I would be a size 10 already!
What I'm trying to say, is maybe the other person that commented thought she was helping but didn't explain herself properly. Don't take it to heart, different methods work for each of us.

Ellie - did you know that wine is one of the worst things to drink alcohol wise my lovely! I know you are staying within your syns for the week, but 3 bottles in a week is a lot. Wine is really good at retaining water - which is not a good thing when trying to loose weight.
Could you perhaps swap the wine for a spirit with diet mixer? It might even leave you a few syns to use on other treats x

Hey,thanks for that, I guess I was just thinking that as long as it's within my syns it didnt matter! I didn't know that about retaining water. I did give up wine for Lent and had vodka and diet mixers instead, so I know I can do it. I may try and cut down on the wine. Thanks for the advice!

Tuna and a banana

Here's where it's tricky - feeling really poorly today and worked a late shift. there was next to no food in the house and I felt so poorly at the end of my shift I just needed to eat something. Got one of those indian meal for two things from work for only 72p. I had one plain naan, two small onion bhajis and half each of the chicken tikka massala and chicken korma. No idea on syns - tried to look it up on here but really couldn't find it. I think I'm just going to have to leave it and have no more syns for the rest of the week. I just feel ill and rubbish tbh and don't want to be worrying too much.

but you can call me Toni!
Hope you're feeling better soon - don't worry about the chicken skin, you've had a perfect day otherwise, that won't make a bit of difference

Saturday 21st April - another bad day health-wise and a tricky one in terms of day-to-day planning so did what I could.
Breakfast
In town feeling rubbish and needing to kill time while waiting for camera to develop so I got a boots meal deal - a fruit pack of melon mango and pineapple, and a shapers prawn wrap. the only syns in the wrap was the wrap itself and the sweet chilli sauce so could have been worse.
Lunch
Cheese and ham toasted sandwich (hexs) with marmite
Dinner
Homemade risotto from extra easy book and salad
Also had a pepperami later on, I think they're like 4/5 syns or something. Just hoping to feel better tomorrow and get back on track.
I wish I was one of those people who lost their appetite when they're ill...
