So glad to have u back

Now Pine mouth is throwing up all sorts of images in my head, what is it?! X

Lol- thankyou for your warm words!! I am struggling already!!

Pine Mouth is when you are left with a bitter metallic taste in your mouth after eating pine nuts. It worsens when eating and can last up to 2 weeks!!
Apparently it's when inedible pine nuts have been mixed with edible ones. I ate a load last Saturday!! Big big big mistake - not eating them again, as this has been foul.
Apparently some people lose weight when they have it as it puts them off eating.......that didn't happen lol.

How is your WW going?

Omg never heard of that pine nuts thing! How strange, hope it passes soon.

Ww itself is going fine but ive had a meal out, a Chinese takeaway & a KFC to contend with this week so I'm expecting a gain or at best a sts tomorrow.

Tbh I find ww is basically sw but with portion control, depends what way u approach it I suppose. I'm not eating so differently, apart from smaller meals. It is more flexible tho x

Wow, never heard of that pine nuts thing! Hope you're ok now.

The Onken is only syns if it's the new style pot with no sweetener - is it worth double checking your pot? I'm clutching at straws here for you!

Good to see you back hun, hope sunday isn't as bad as anticipated x

Hi Kwise - nice to see you back again hun but that pine nutty mouth thingy sounds horrid!

Have you heard of mix to match hun? It's where you can have a Green lunch and a Red tea ... you would have to do a search for sure but I think as long as you don't snack in between it's totally cool. Worth a try

Can't find any info on mix to match. But currently making (up as I go along) some carrot soup - my throat feels sore- and I need to keep on the straight and narrow.

Might make it a carrot & bacon soup- who knows

Kx

Found it now!! Will see what I decide lol.

Good luck with WI!! X

Good luck with WI!! X

Lol - WI - 7lb gain, back to where I was when I weighed in at the beginning of Jan.
Worried about this week:-
Tues - Chinese Dinner being provided at work
Wed - course in London
Fri - farewell meal at work

So should I provide my own food Tues & Fri - like my SW brain suggests. Or eat it all and feel annoyed when my weight is too much at weigh-in?? No brainer I guess- what would u do K?

Oh boo to feeling poorly and falling off the wagon!!

Is there any way you can find out the menus in advance so you can decide what to do next week? You could do what I do in this sort of situation - just eat the absolute bare minimum that you can get away with without being rude and have some SW friendly bits on standby for when it's over.

Or, the less admirable approach (also used by me over holidays and special occasions!) is to say s*d it, I'm going to have a bad week but I'll come back to it raring to go in a weeks time. Having written that lot down they actually both seem a bit extreme , maybe just make sensible choices and do your best!

Good luck hun, hope it all works out for you x

Unfortunately not Beeg. A rep orders the Chinese for us - as part of our staff meeting , the course - absolutely no idea. Friday, my guess is buffet food - generally naughty!!!

Lol. Not sure tbh. It worries me that I might fall off the wagon again!! Think I might take in my sweet n sour rice pot which is free and feels like Chinese food lol.

Can't do anything about Wednesday - except hope there is some healthy option available. Friday I can bring in my own grub!!

Hi hun. Sorry to hear about your gain I expect you being ill is a big factor :sigh:

I don't want to be the bearer of even more bad news but since the Onken incident it seems there have been many more changes to Healthy Extras and syns - there's a thread in Syns today talking about rice pot thingies being 8.5 syns now - don't know if it's the type you like but you'd better check it out!
