Hi dory,
Best options at an Indian are Tandoori dishes (prawn, fish, chicken & lamb) serve with boiled rice and a salad, a chapatti is the best bread choice ... I usually skip rice and have the chapatti for about 8 syns... If you are a saucy chick... Dhansaak is quite low x

Well thankfully looks like they sorted it! Apparently some kind of issue on my employers end so I was paid about 20 mins ago - thank god!! I know I'm only part time but basically it pays my rent!

As for the curry I'd love a recipe for a syn free curry but tomorrow we're going out - it was either curry or the all you can eat Chinese and I figured curry was probably a better option (plus her dad took her to the chinese on saturday) so yeah any suggestions on that front is good! I'm not a curry conniseur though so I'm not sure what all of them mean, will have to look them up later! haha! As i said my fave previously has been tikka masala which is totally delish, the only other thing is i can't eat nuts so can't have anything with those in (not allergic just really don't like!)

Ohhhh and congrats to paula - great weight loss hun xx

Thanks Dory, im so glad you got your wages sorted out xx

Hi everyone, well done on some great losses again and best wishes for all Wednesday WI's..like me!! I know a few of you have really struggled this week..but when you feel down remember you are already winning by starting this process and taking control....those of us here with six stone or more to lose got here because we have a problem with food..we use it to reward when we have been good and to comfort us in times of trouble...and it is the one thing in life you can't just give up totally...you wouldn't berate a drug addict or an alcoholic if they slipped. Just pick your self up and dust yourself off..and get back on the plan...and talking on here (therapy!!) and you are back in control again...it's all part of the very difficult process that we have to go through often with no help from the medical profession or understanding from those close to us....because this is a life change for the better....Big Big love xxxxx

Glad they sorted the pay.


Made a big mistake by going to Sainsburys hungry, oh the cream cakes were really calling me, I was really struggling not to buy the profiteroles in the stack, in the past I would buy two packs, one for tea and the other I would eat in the car on the way home!!!! OH was always puzzled by how mucky my car was! I had to keep saying to myself 7lbs a month is doable, but not if I eat cream cakes!!

Bought some Kellogg's fibre plus bars, and ate one on way back. Have just had some mushroom soup i made yesterday and a huge Eton mess with a meringue nest, quark and a white chocolate options (4.5 syns and worth every one)

Have a good afternoon all

[Roziee]

I've had more procedures done.. Will explain later but means I won't be able to go to WI tonight.. Will I be able to take this week as holiday at such short notice?

 

[Roziee]

... Because I've bought a countdown thats why I ask x

 

[Lucia Lucia]

Yes, just text or ring your consultant.

 

[Roziee]

Thanks Lucia. Ive txt her now.

 

[*Sally Cinnamon*]

Sorry Rozie.... you must put your holidays in at the start of a countdown.... any taken that have not been entered will go as a lost week xx

 

[Roziee]

That's a shame Sally.. I've txt my consultant now.. Oh well.

I went to see my gyn and he said that it's still not healing properly so he had to use potassium nitrate on the wound to try to make it heal again.

When he went to put the anaesthetic in I cried with the pain

4th time lucky I hope.

I've weighed myself at home and im 1 lb up from last week. But my scales are usually 0.5lbs kinder than the groups scales so I'm gonna say I've gained 1.5lbs this week.

Bleurgh. Want a pizza.

Hope you are ok?

 

[Roziee]

I wish I could say I am bron but I am officially fed up now.

If I could have my way I'd order a pizza now.

Lucky for my hubby is cooking.

 

[*Sally Cinnamon*]

don't beat yourself up.... why not have a pizza pitta... use a wholemeal pitta (hexb) and top with tomato paste and mozzarella (hexa) and whatever else you fancy....you will still be on plan.

hope you feel better soon.

Just made a Thai beef salad for tasting night.... I want to eat it all lol
