I knew you'd have lost

Well done! You better enjoy that Toby Cavery because I'm so jealous

hehe.
i cant believe I have never heard of Toby Carvery before Irene mentioned it.. everyone else knows about it! Also, thank you for the support its lovely having everyone behind me
wahay, woho, woohoo! well done you - two goals in one!
so what's next? conquer the matterhorn? manage the un peace-keeping process? learn alligator wrestling? whatever it is, you can do it!

Well done Rach. Proud of you! When do we see another pic?
5lbs until my next stone, although I owe a picture of my dress / outfit for wedding so will get that sorted
You have a good time at the carvery? xxx
To quote a rather famous (and annoying) dog... OHHHHHHHHHHHHH YES.
Just a quick check in Rach - hope you had a lovely time at the carvery catch you tomorrow when you can post the full story.

thanks M!
well, details of the carvery! More than 5 hours after we ate, I am still feeling full.. i didnt think I went THAT insane, but just shows you how much my stomach is shrinking!
However, there was a little voice in my head that was upset that I hadnt cleaned my plate.. just how I was brought up so still find it difficult to pass on sometimes! BUT.. there was a bigger voice going YAY, YOU LEFT SOMETHING!

lol!
I have to say I really enjoyed it.. i doubt WW will cure me of my love of food and going out for meals, but as long as it teaches me to enjoy them in moderation I can live with that

Matty had a bad head and whinged about EVERYTHING while we were there.. ":sigh: only one portion of meat allowed? thats not very good" ":sigh: vegetables arent cooked properly" ":sigh: the carvery man gave the pretty girl in front of me a bigger portion of meat" ":sigh: stuffing wasnt as good as at home" ":sigh: this totally wasnt worth £7.50"... until i lost my rag and told him to bog off.. this is my "celebrate my weight loss by eating night" at TC and considering I was paying half the bill he could pay for himself if he was going to act like a 5 year old! LOL
foodwise I didnt make fantastic choices but I had what I wanted and in moderation - chose turkey (of which half went to Matty to shut his whining black hole of a mouth!) and had half a yorkshire pud (they were MASSIVE!) a stuffing ball, and the biggest pile of broccoli EVER! Also had some red and white cabbage, one cauli floret as was in cheese sauce and a maybe a little too big scoop of mashed potato that was totally made with cream and butter.. but hey.. my night! Shh

lol! Oh, and I had plenty of gravy..
however i did realise half an hour after I finished eating (and had laid back in my chair rubbing my stomach like a pregnant lady!) I was really upset / pleased to realise I did not have a single roast potato!

but i guess i made up for that with mash...
and even though I wasnt driving I only had one diet coke - and i kept doing what Core says and kept stopping to put my knife and fork down to evaluate how full I was - I did leave plenty of stuffing (i always go overkill with stuffing!) and carrots which i dished out before realising they were covered in butter.. and i only force myself to eat carrots to make sure I can see in the dark.. would much rather have more broccoli.. no idea what it does for me but it looks like mini trees which still fascinates me after 21 years of life..
..i think I am mentally disturbed somehow..
also.. i loved the steamed veg there.. Matty loves soggy vegetables and it makes me so sad to have to eat soggy cauliflower and broccoli cause its just so WRONG!
anyway I had a good time - one meal down, one buffet and one three course meal for the xmas party to go. After tonights performance (mixed emotions over missing out on the jam roly poly and custard!) i think I might just manage sunday.. its just the buffet and drinks for friday I need to worry about! Saving some points seems a good plan!
Anyway, i should probably get to bed. Up nice and early to figure how I will fit 100 fairy lights on a 3ft xmas tree (LOL

) and go for a swim...
over and out! x
