    @quiltingjaine that menu is absurd! Who do they think they're catering to? Even kids cafeterias at least pretend to offer healthy options. I'm not even avoiding carbs and I'd be afraid of everything on that menu because it just sugar and fat laden junk and even the mashed potatoes are probably the boxed kind with margarine because it's cheaper. Since you're going for the social aspect what if you bring your own dish or lunch box and make a fuss about it by leading by example?

    Holy Batman ! 🤣 Thank goodness you have the discipline to say no!

    I wish I had more discipline!As far as the Christmas dinner, catering has to be booked months ahead so, no, no chance to change that. I have considered taking my own meal but do I want to pay for a place at the table?

    Even a few “healthy choices” would be a wonderful option!

    Yes, they would have been.

    The menu WAS absurd. I do have to say the potatoes were real as was the butter for the rolls. I can taste instant potatoes a mile away. All the real butter in the world can’t disguise the flavor. My MIL peeled and mashed potatoes (I watched her) one holiday but “extended” them with instant when I was out of the kitchen. I could taste the instant and didn’t eat them. 🤷‍♀️

    I am about 12 kg along the way to lose 32 kg. I use multiple tape measurements (cm) around my body because they aren't affected by salt intake. Apparently I've been trying to lose weight since September 2012, the last time I was at goal weight. Let's see if stopping eating sugary food is going to change things.

    Heaviest ever 1st Jan 2021, goal+31.8 kg

    March 2022, started measuring system 867.0 cm total


    Here are my measurements, bolded means a number has been chosen for future comparison, and is the median number for this round. It is used to sum the total measurement.

    100.0 90.0 100.0 57.0 47.5 56.5 46.0 101.0 91.0 101.5 15th Nov
    100.0 90.5 102.0 57.0 48.0 57.0 46.0 100.5 92.0 102.0 16th Nov
    101.0 90.5 102.0 57.0 47.5 56.0 47.0 102.0 93.5 103.0 17th Nov


    The total is 794.5 cm.
