julesm said:Yes sorry I was going to say it wasn't my roulade!! It was really yummy, my bf loved it covered in squirty cream! I don't have an electric whisk so it was a lot of elbow grease for me to get my eggs right stiff but I got there in the end! Xxxx
Lol! No wonder you're so skinny!
And I can't take the credit for the recipe...our c emailed it to us all a couple of weeks ago!
Hope u like it Bess! Xx
Fat days and thin days are weird as they don't always reflect what the scales are saying.....definitely a mental thing, well it is with me anyway. Just like when I am having an 'ugly day' and then people say "oooh you look good" and I get all defensive and stroppy with them because I think they are taking the pi$$A great success all round! We think it would be good frozen as well, if Quark would freeze? An SW birthday celebration in fact! The menu was pea and mint soup, chicken breasts rolled in ground linseeds and herbs from the garden, sprinkled in a little rape oil and roasted in the oven so the crust was crispy. Then I dug new potatoes and picked salad and raspberrries for the roulade. Non SW was the pink cava, bucks fizz and cake, which was 3 layers of sponge with strawberries and cream. I tried a very small slice and had a glass of cava.
Well done on just the glass
Very late in the evening my dog and I sat in my favourite place on the doorstep, sipping a whisky and soda, doing the crossword. (She's one smart dog!)
Does she prefer The Times crossword or the Guardian??
Forgot to weigh this morning, but am having a 'fat day' .
I think my 'fat day' earlier was a prediction! :sigh:
Went to the hairdresser yesterday after 2 years of doing it myself/the girls chopping the bits I can't see. (Following a disasterous cut just before my daughter's wedding .) I explained that I just wanted it tidied up, with little taken off. The hairdresser spend ages trimming it and it looks no flippin' different! In fact I'm just about to take the scissors to my fringe because I can't see where I'm going! Huh!

I'm having a thin day - well at least night. "Went" to the loo about 2 hours ago. The first proper one in 4.5 days!!!! Probably TMI but just thought I'd share this with you all!

It's good to share...!!
Do not be ashamed, and you are certainly not hopeless as you have put in your signature. Scared I can understand but we're all here to help.Well the dreadful truth. 13.12 this morning and have been no better behaved today. Ashamed and scared.
Do you do a menu plan and follow it?
Do you plan in the things you can't do without as syns?
If you don't do these two things then it is easy to get derailed without realising it.No, I don't, not all the time, ok, not much of the time. Sadly by nature I'm much too laid back and sloppy. Good advice though and I shall take it. Tomorrow I hope will be the start of a better way of eating.
Something like this:
B: Fruit and eggs
L: Soup or salad?
S: I know will be roast chicken etc.
Have lots of Muller Lights in and fruit. Syns can be a tiny milky bar and maybe a whisky and soda.
See, I can plan, now I just have to stick to it......
Thanks Bev.
That looks absolutely fine and it wasn't so difficult was it? But what about Hexs Bess? Can't see an A or B. I assume though that as you are having Roast Chicken there will be some spuds floating around.. . . Tomorrow I hope will be the start of a better way of eating.

I understand that it's hard sometimes but you musn't get 'down' on a daily weight. They vary as you know. If however you are down because you aren't sticking to the plan, then I can completely understand as you know.
Have a think about what it is that you are finding difficult ? Is it a particular time of day or a particular food that you just keep eating ? Is it that you aren't eating enough/enough syns and then go looking for other food ? If you are just eating 'stuff' for the sake of it then maybe try the 'Gail's easing back into a plan' method. It really helped me to get back onto the plan. I knew I couldn't carry on as I was last week and yet I didn't feel that I could stick to the plan as it was - I was just craving too much sugar or eating for the sake of it. That week using more syns than usual (15-25 per day) really helped me. I just needed that extra leeway. And now I feel back to how I was before (almost).
Maybe try thinking about some new recipes to try - that also helped me when I was getting a bit bored of eating the same things all the time. I'm sure we can all help with suggestions if you need them.
Big hugs and feel free to PM me too if you need to be more private.
