Oh my.. Easter

[J.D]

Ive bought myself an easter egg from Thorntons arty0051: which i think (if i remember correctly) is 40syns. Now justr reduced syns for 10 or under a day for the week then the whole egg is within my syn limit for the week

Lucky you if you can eat that all in one night and still be on plan. I envy you and I envy mrs wilsoncrofts bunny too!! I love Lindt!

The only chocolate I don't like much is plain cadburys. I'm not fussy lol

Good luck, i would end up flexi synning for the whole thing lol.

Well lets not take that possibility off the table yet! Lol!

 

[J.D]

Hahahahahaha I love how crap food makes us crazy

 

[AwesomeOwl]

Oh I know. I love junk food obviously!
i have to make such an effort to eat salads ( because I don't really like them).
I have to train myself

 

[J.D]

I watched horizons last night and apparently the more you eat something the more you will like it. I have to have lots of vinegar on my salad lol.

 

[AwesomeOwl]

Yeah hopefully that'll happen for me! Unfortunately I think I liked Chinese food from the first time I tried it! No training required there!
I try to hide my salads in other meals for the moment, I know I couldn't sit down and really enjoy a chicken Caesar salad on its own. Maybe someday

Hopefully this works for me

Chinese food tend to contain monosodiumglutamate which is a flavour enhancer and is apparently addictive ! Crisps tend to contain it also as well as a lot of junk food. So it's not us it's the food industry !!!?!

 

[AwesomeOwl]

I like the blaming the junk angle!
I would love to be like my boyfriend and sit down and have one once in a while or have a treat now and again without losing my head completely.
i think it's a combination of things, like my lack of discipline/ self control

 

[J.D]

Apparently we have preferences from the womb & newborn as milk is sweet. So we like to have sweet things over savoury or bitter. No wonder we love chocolate lol plus it releases hormones and stuff to make you feel good then they go and add msg I think the short term is called. Well add it to bloody salad lol!!

 

[AwesomeOwl]

My thoughts exactly! Why can't I get addicted to something like lettuce??

 

[green eyed monster]

two of my most favourite-est foody things . ever.

roast dinners and easter eggs.

easter eggs taste better than normal chocolate, i swear.

this week is a right off.

 

[FionaMcd]

Can't wait for my SW friendly roast!! X

 

[J.D]

Mmmm roast!! What is the leanest cut of lamb to go for? I've never cooked a joint of lamb..

 

[Mandlegrot]

oh wow some of you need some luck this weekend!! Thankfully easter is no big deal for me, there are no kids in the family, plus I am vegan and vegan easter eggs are hard to come by, plus no one buys them for me so thats out of the question. This year I am working all weekend (from 9pm tonight until 3pm next thursday!! wooo care work) so easter goodies will be far from my mind.

Good luck everyone, my C went through some of the syn values yesterday and some of them don't sound too bad

 

[Mandlegrot]

Plus no roast dinner for me either, as cooking a roast for one is a bit pointless. Am having scrambled tofu for brekkie, stir fry for lunch and thai red curry for dinner got a green and blacks mini bar for dessert (5 syns)

 

[AwesomeOwl]

Mandle I'm actually jealous of your low fuss weekend. I'm not looking forward to all the temptation that's waiting for me!

 

[Jess<3]

Lucky you Mandle I bought myself one and limited syns so its in my weekly allowance... My son has one then my mum & sister bought him one also! Hes not that much of a chocolate boy either so think Hubby will help with his or put out of my reach lol!!

Were do you buy tofu from? Ive never seen it though to be honest I've never searched for it lol

Can get cauldron brand tofu from most big supermarkets now in thr chilled section but I prefer to buy from Asian supermarkets as its much cheaper. I mainly eat south easy Asian food so its also convenient for me.

Yes I think Easter is maybe one if the less stressful times to be vegan; I can ignore its existence completely seeing as I can't eat thr food and I'm not a Christian so I just deny its even there plus we have work to do all over the holidays so I work my butt of and gain pounds (the good ones) and hopefully lose the bad ones

Have a wicked weekend though everyone, whatever you are eating, and enjoy the long weekend
