Oh Iris - I'm embarrassed to have to edit yesterday for the rest of the stuff I had and to report what I had this morning after reading your lovely message
However I'm determined to be totally honest and open as otherwise I'd be back on the slippery slope to eating in secret, hiding wrappers & stuff and telling porkies about what I'd actually had - and I'm not going there again. So thank you for your kind words - I feel as though I'm back on track SOME of the time - but not all of it I'm afraid ... still quite wobbly sometimes.
Anyhoo ....
Thursday 14th August.
1st Breakie - after work, before shopping. Toasted hot cross bun with butter. Then later on had the same as yesterday.
Bed all afternoon.
Very end of batter off DH's chippy fish and about 5 or 6 chips.
Tea - 1/3rd of a 'serves 2' Moussaka and some tinned carrots. Mini chocolate croissant (62 cals)
Brought to work - Wrap same as last night, 2 small pears and a plum.
'Pinched' - pkt cheese & onion crisps, cadbury's caramel bar, 4 squares dairy milk
Drinks - water & black coffee.

AND I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU JAN!! You are always being honest with what you eat......and accountability is so important and I understand 100%!
After this week, I can appreciate how maintaining is the hardest part ever and I honestly think you are doing well, but I know it isnt easy. Oh, if only we could stay on TFR for ever!!!!! Food just gets in the way But, it is so addictive too!
I think your meals are varied and you dont miss out any food group..even the choccy!! hahaha....that is good!
It cant be easy working at night as well Jan....I dont know if my body would cope, so you are a bit upside down really with the hours you work.
Thanks for just being you! It does give me hope...and I dont say that lightly; I mean it....
Have a lovely weekend!

Spot on Iris, and I too admire you Jan for your honesty in what you eat, whether its good food or naughty food.
Maybe I should start writing what I eat again on my maintenance thread, then when you all see what I binge on after my alcohol days and it might even help me to make a more constructive decision about what I am about to put into my mouth.

Hi Jan , thanks for your welcome back post. I hope you are feeling better now (Read you were poorly) . Yes accountability is a big thing for me too as I was also a secret binger. Which is Why I am still boring people with my daily menu as I feel even having to write it down is good for me. Put on a pound over the hols but not too worried because my goal for next saturday morning is to get a minus on that scale !!!!.. Hang in there Jan . You are still maintaining well even with a slip here and there . Look at the overall picture . dont be so hard on yourself either. You are doing really well .

Don't be daft - we all find our own ways ... xx
Thanks Mich - I know what you mean about the 'boring' thing but then again people don't have to read the detail. I don't expect people to read everything, it's more about self-disclosure in the end. I'm sure you WILL get that minus next week! xx

Bought a caramel freddo in the newsagents on the way home this morning
I thought I'd compensated for my 'pinching' last night and the freddo because I went to bed this morning without any breakfast. I congratulated myself a bit too quick though because i couldn't get to sleep & ended up coming down and taking toast & coffee back to bed - only a sm slice of wholemeal tho' with lf cream cheese & branston juice.
While I was down I put a half shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker with rosemary, mint & garlic & some water so had some of that tonight with broad beans & sweetcorn.
Piece of granary bread with v light salad cream & lamb (from tea)
Slimfast snack bar
Drinks - wine, water, black coffee.
Going to help out at a christening tomorrow - a friend of my sons' - gonna be in charge of the food ........ !!

Ha Ha - they're brill!!
Sunday 16th August.
Breakie - granola & oat flakes with blue&blackberries & ff from frais.
At Christening (to the best of my memory) ... picked while putting food out ... 2 icing hearts, few crisps, 2 cocktail sausages, spoonful of cheese pasta salad & coleslaw.
Later - plate with spoonful each of - savoury rice, pasta salad, cous cous, bite of a bread roll & bite of a lamb kebab (literally one bite of each), a cheese slice with a bit of raw onion (it was a BBQ & for various reaosns I didn't fancy any of the BBQd stuff)
A personalised christening chocolate (would have been rude not to)
Tea - will edit later coz dunno yet.
BLUUUUUGHHH!!! Editing to say - just had a bagel (dya know I really don't know what the attraction is .... I had one coz they were there, but it was very heavy and dense) cut in half and then each half cut into 3 with various cheeses on. Now feel stuffed & bloated.
I haven't enjoyed any of the food I've had today actually Ah well - it's all a big learning curve!
Slimfast snack bar.
Drinks - water (not enough), vodka & diet coke (lots) & black coffee.

Weighed in 0.6lb heavier this morning. That's not bad really. I went to my LT chemist this morning to get some maintenance bars so hopped on their scales and was 0.4lb lighter than last time I weighed there 9 weeks ago. I was quite pleased with that. Instead of looking at my ups and downs every week I can think - I've maintained for 2 months up to now xx

Breakie - I knew I was meeting people for lunch early so just had a pear - well actually half a pear because half of it was rotten
Lunch - It's becoming a habit to go & have one of those gorgeous paninis - this is the 3rd week on the run now! However - this week i remembered how bad I've felt the last 2 weeks all afternoon after a whole one so this week shared a tuna melt one with my sister. I think maybe even that was too much!
Tea - Pollock topped with broccoli (Lidl - frozen) & stir fried veg.
Pkt quavers
Tesco reduced fat biscuit & raisin bar.
Drinks - water, wine & black coffee
