SugarRush ' s food diary of a cake maker who can't have cake!

[KMD]

Hi Sugarrush, just found your diary. I'm also a cake maker so I totally, totally feel your pain!!!! I am getting a lot better though at not licking mixture, spoon, buttercream, leftovers, all of it. It will get easier I promise! So happy to have found another cake maker. It's so difficult! I always do better if I have a week without a cake on! Keep up the fab work! xxxx

 

[sugarrush]

Thank you Bubble77.

Thank you Freakydarkstuff. Tayla is all better and full if beans today thank fully!!

Hi! Lovely to find another cake make and one who tells me it gets easier! I used to cover the offcuts in buttercream and gobble them up while cleaning away and stopped that but so hard! Especially because you have no choice but to taste test the buttercream plus If you do cupcakes it's a shame to waste any spare one!!

Good morning hun,
Just saying a quick hello, will catch up properly later.xx

 

[sugarrush]

Thank you Bubble. My other little one is ill today so unexpected day at home may do some batch cooking!

Yesterday looked like this:

Breakfast; sweet pancakes (used honey as no sweetener so 2 syns) not sure about these tasted a bit too much like omelette so will try again with sweetener.

Snack: bananna

Lunch: left over casserole from night before

Snacks: handful of grapes and a nectarine

Tea: jacket spuds with baked beans and half of hex a cheese (other half in tea throughout day)

Blueberry muller corner 6 syns
French fry crisp 5 syns
Bananna

So 13 syns but as I had a gain im surprised I didn't just feel sad and eat loads of chocolate so happy with this. Today is a new day hopefully a loss next week.

 

[bubble77]

Im sure you'll have a cracking loss this week. I think gor us green/red oldies the EE plan seems to take a little longer to kick in. Well thsts my excuse!!
The sweet pancakes can be a bit omelletty sometimes but with fruit it can be disguised. I think cos i dont measure the sweetener sometimes it works and sometimes it dont.
Lo's always seem to go down one after the other. Hope they feel better soon.
Xx

I know! So did I! And I used to eat bowlfulls of cake mixture and buttercream *hangs head in shame* . lol. It definetely gets easier. You just have to stop yourself and actually think about it before you let that spoon near your mouth! Haha. I have even been known to put a spoonful of icing/cake mixture in then make myself spit it out into the bin. I know have a teeny test of the cake mixture and the buttercream, count it in as 50 calories (I'm calorie counting) then refuse to let myself have anymore. It will get easier I promise! We can have cake when we're slim lol xxx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Hope you got some batch cooking done Sugarrush! And you are so good with having leftovers for the next day! For the past two days Ive made myself my evening meal with the intention of having some for lunch the next day but have then scoffed the lot

Have a good day today!

 

[sugarrush]

Really hope so bubble77 for both of us. Think your right, defiently taking a while to work out EE!

Thanks KMD, i'm going to eat alot of cake when I'm slim and probably put it all on again! I put a stone n in the 1st 3 months the of being registered and couldn't work out why u till I really thought about how much the cake bits added up to!

Freakydarkstuff im struggling to not scoff the lot! Lol i used to do it but im the only one that likes what I'm cooking now but I still cook enough for me and 2 kids (hubby lives on burgers and pizza so never made any for him) so if i ate ate It all i might pop.

 

[sugarrush]

[bubble77]

I want a Curly wurly! xxx

 

[sugarrush]

Ha ha love me a curly wurly!

Yesterday looked like this:

Breakfast: none
Lunch: Ham roll no butter roll 6.5 syns and an apple
Tea:Ham eggs and 2 small slices of wholemeal bread (hexb) with thin layer of spread (2 syns)

Grapes, strawberries, blueberries, bananna and nectarine mixed with muller light.

Didn't have hex a and only 2 cups of tea so need to syn the milk so 2 syns

10.5 syns

It's chip shop night again and seriously craving chips. Not sure I can resist.

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Mmmm chip shop night- I am drooling at the thought of it!! And I am seriously craving a KFC!

Be good- but if you cant then at least only have the chips and none of the delicious bits that go with it!!

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Hey Sugarrush, I need your advice! I went to a wedding fayre today and gave in to a teeny taster size slice of vanilla sponge cake. It had buttercream and the top had a little bit of fondant icing.
How many syns do you think that I should count?
I feel bad for having it but it was delicious!!

 

[sugarrush]

If I remember right a fairy cake is about 5.5 with no icing so if the tester was tiny may be 3 then I'd add 1 or 2 for the buttercream depending on how thick it was and same again for the fondant I think as it's basically sugar. So it will between 5 and 7 which isn't too bad if you enjoyed it. I had a omelette all free except half hex a chips with hex b bread and fruit yesterday I can't write it all out have kids germs

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Thanks for the advice- it was a teeny piece!
Sorry to hear your children have shared their germs! They are generous with them lol.
Hope you feel better soon. X

 

[bubble77]

Oh no sugar theyve made their way to you! Dont they know mums cant be ill? Hope you feel better soon. X

Thanks guys! Currently struggling with a pounding head and sort throat so will update later but it involves dominos *hangs head in shame*

 

[sugarrush]

OK feeling a tad more normal so quick update:

Breakfast: muller light
Lunch: brown bread (hexb) ham lettuce and cucumber sandwich
Tea: 3 slices of a medium cheese and tomato dominos pizza (35 syns???)

Plus syn my milk as I didn't use enough for hexa a so 2 syns there as well.

Oh well 2 bad days but I've been ill so hopefully back on plan when I feel better

 

[freakydarkstuff]

You are allowed a splurge when you are ill! Your body needs carbs and fats to get better (or at least thats the excuse I use!)
Feel better soon sugarrush! x
