Yes I ate loads yesterday, and felt really uncomfortable when I went to bed. Am having a juice detox day today though. The bairn is at his dad's so I haven't got to worry about cooking for him. So far so good!

Aye, alright. Snacking on a couple of satsumas before bed.
Mostly I am uber stressed though about this 11+. He went into a meltdown over his English homework apparently (the area of concern for him). Told his dad that he was stressed about the exam, so of course I get it in the neck. Personally I think he's playing his dad a bit, but of course I'm concerned that he is gonna cock it up now. Maybe i should call his form tutor tomorrow and see what she says. Not good at Chez Pinkie.

((( Hugs ))) chica - I didn't realise they still actually did 11+ exams anywhere in the UK. I thought they'd all stopped now.
It must be a stressful time for you all - and you could well be right about him playing his dad up for sympathy so a quick chat with tutor might be a good idea.

Yea she did. I feel a bit better again now, apparently he's been very perky in class and has given her no cause for concern. She said she'd bear in mind the possibility that he might be stressing about it though. So he probably was working his father. I'all be interested to see if number one dad actually bothers to check with me how he's getting on. Bet he bloody doesn't.
Am on train home now, feeling a bit Shakey as if I hadn't eaten much, but my food has been fine.

Lost a lb, so I finally have my first stone.
Interestingly, my consultant said she'd been advised that the veggies on Smoothies and juices are not free!!!! For goodness sake. She is investigating further though.

Well done
And yes, I thought fruit smoothies not free. It's cos very high sugar content and you would have loads to fill you up. So, you might have sugar of one apple as a snack, but in a smoothie you might end up with sugar of 8 apples. If you get what I mean ?
But well done on your stone xx

no fruit Smoothies aren't, I always count any fruit I put it. But their argument is that veggies aren't free - e.g. celery, carrot, spinach, beet etc...

Humph. But carrots and celery have almost no calories. Weird!!

I know. Apparently my consultant had a long debate with the other two consultants who are are much more experienced and adamant. She is going to check it out through SW HQ though.

I know. Now given when I have these they are a meal replacement and usually take an hour to drink, I am not gonna take too much store by this one. I have issues with a diet plan that will happily let you throw in artificial sweetener and cook diet coke chicken, but disputes consuming whole veg in a way that your body more easily digests.
How is it any different to say a stew, where the veggies are almost cooked to mush and really don't require much chewing (which is their argument)?
If I were capable of drinking nothing but juices and smoothies and eating nothing else I'm sure my weight would drop off very quickly after all. Were I quaffing heavily fruit laden ones in addition to other food then I'd understand, but I'm not. I have them every so often as a meal alternative. I guess you could have a real debate about that. I feel quite militant about it. I am probably going to go all out now and ensure I have a veggie smoothie every night instead of a meal and see what it does for my weight loss. If I pile on the weight, then I will concede defeat.

Well done chcia - keep on heading down.
I was always told that juices and smoothies of ANY kind have to be synned.
Like you I can understand fruit juice/smoothies not being free.
I suspect that veg one's aren't either because you are eliminating a lot of the roughage that the veg is supposed to be for.

Ahhhh, you're awake at silly o'clock too!
Yes, juices do, I understand that. So I have a plan, I'm gonna bake the pulp (leaving some for the buns as they adore it) into little crackers. Roughage consumed. Smoothies however have the lot in, plenty of roughage.
I'll let you know how the crackers pan out. Based on experience Beanie will be trying to nick the lot as he's loved them when I've done them in the past. No doubt that's wrong too. They would be lovely with a spot of low fat cheese though - another meal sorted.
I need to get my food on an even keel though, personally I think that's more of an issue with my losses than my veg drinks. I am so stubborn, I am determined to prove this is not an issue lol
