Is it the lack of responses or just the plan?

I sometimes ignore my diary because barely anyone replies and I feel like I'm talking to myself haha, but if I don't log sometimes, I WILL fall of track <3
 
Thanks Panda, it does help to know that someone has bothered to look, but I know I lack the ability to do this without a diary!

Ever green veggie diet...
So far today - 1.5 syns (2 x half sugar, tsp agave nectar)

HExB - porridge
HExA - milk (about 1/2 used so far)
Must eat something before going to my youth session tonight...

Have you thought about doing a simple week of food?
I know you don't eat meat but my simple weeks are mainly chicken/fish with veg and carbs (chips/mash/potato)
When I try new recipes, I lose my head lol.

I think my meals are fairly simple,anyway, it's just that I outline all my ingredients, rather than just saying,for example, quorn balls in home made ratatouille... I don't think I've tried much new for quite some time, but I do like my home cooking... although have eaten out a fair bit with celebrations and allowed myself to break the rules too much :eek:

The rest of today:

Chips, quorn quarter pounder and baked beans (6 syns)

sugar in my coffee (0.5)

Total:8 syns.... I may have a hot choc before bed :D That's 10 syns. Yays!
​
 
I've stopped using my syns for anything but sugar (tea), sauces and the little things you put into foods. I used to do that AND try and use them for crisps and chocolate and well it obviously didn't work.

We have nothing bad in the house anymore and it means I can't snack on anything. Day 5 for me now. Going to do some EA Active then i'm making SW brownies at my MILs :) I haven't eaten yet, will be porridge, then a jacket for lunch. <3 xxx

Lunch: Jacket pot with butter (1 syn) cheese (HExA) and salad.
