lol the food abuse issue makes me smile...people get so annoyed about it! I guess you need to weigh up if you are using it as snacks too often and not as part of a meal. I think that would be my attitude - i.e. if i make a batch and scoff them all in an evening in front of the tv i think i would syn them (i think the thread says about one syn each). But if i was using it to dunk in soup as dumplings then i wouldn't. But i think it depends on your body and some people may be able to get away with it while others can't....trial and error i suppose.
I was planning to make a batch to try out since i have smash in my cupboard that i have no plans to use (bf doesn't like it) and i would rather give this a try then throw it out. I plan to use it to dunk in my soup and save a hex on EE days and was also thinking that i would maybe make some, cut one in half and spread a little marmite on it and top with a hexa cheese mmmmm! I was also thinking I could make some up as little balls and put garlic in them to have as 'garlic dough balls' with a spaghetti bolognese or lasagne?! Apparently they freeze ok as well.
You should def make some and have one hot out of the oven with some butter/spread on for a couple of syns and a hexa - that would give you your little treat that you did amazingly well to resist lol. This way you can do it but only use a few syns and still have some left for a little treat tonight. You did brilliantly to just come home after how much you wanted them!
This really isn't like you at all - is there something else playing on your mind and making you indecisive? And as for a mid week weigh in - dont beat yourself up about doing it but remember that it doesn't count until you are at group! The amount might not be the same on Monday so you have to just let the figure go. It's really easy to see progress on the scales as an excuse for a treat because you are showing a loss and will have time to be good before WI to minimise the effects. I would err on the side of caution and make some home made scones that you can enjoy in the knowledge that you are treating yourself within syns! (and how great will it be to smugly walk past the shop later when you pick up teeny!!!)
I think you have the will power to weigh at tesco instead of group - i dont think you would fall off the wagon. But do you get anything else out of group? Buy the books/products or like image therapy?! Because you might find that you miss these aspects?! You can buy online memberships but I don't know how much they are and that still gives you access to the syns online etc so maybe think about that as well.
I need to make some soup up this weekend so need to get a BNS for that - I must remember to pick up some mint too. (although I have dried mint.....would that work i wonder?!) I am thinking of making lasagne/spag bol tomorrow night and a roast sunday so a couple of EE days for me.
I seem to be doing more and more green these days so need to plan out some red days for next week!
