Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

Awww hun big hugs, it is hard when you are shopping to resist naughty things. you can have a treat once in a while tho, it wouldnt be much fun if you couldnt.
I have lovely memories of making mince pies with my mum too, and her pineapple upside down cake was to die for!

The problem I have is that I make my own mincemeat with brandy and Marsala it's just so yummy

Have that prob with my Xmas cake.. I soak the fruit in rum, cherry brandy, amaretto. Thats about 2kg fruit in 1.5l for 4-5 days . Mmmmm

I soak the fruit in tea first for s couple of days the add the alcohol and sugar in a lick and lock container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks . Keep turning it over so the juices soak everything . Then use it.

I am still craving mince pies.. But was strong and said No.. Instead had some frozen yogurt.. And more water!!

Just made pancakes for breakfast.. Haven't eaten any... Not even a taste :0)
Each pancake is 100cals.. Can find better things to eat!

Just tried a cup of soup from tesco light choices range.. Not to bad.. Just not really satisfying.. Only 65 cals
