Hi Britty, welcome..!!
I've just added you as a friend too
@dropbearclan i'm now following you on instagram
Yesterday I decided that this was my last day of "bad" eating.
So i decided to make it a good goodbye.
I ate french fries, a frikandel (meat stick) and i had mayonaise and satay sauce with it.
But is didn't have clean big plates anymore, so i stuck everything on a small one.
And i really had the feeling i ate a massive amount. But when I logged it this morning it wasn't so bad actually. I have an airfryer so the calorie intake was a lot lower beacuse it wasn't deep fried.
And I also noticed that i ate a lot less than i would normally do.
So I guess putting your food on a smaller plate actually really works.
How did you guys do yesterday?

Mrswarrior oh that's great! And yes putting your food on a smaller plate really does work that what I do if say its pasta night haha so I don't go overboard. Yesterday was good for me I ate healthy and had a lot of calories remaining cone bed time, I just found last night that I have a cyst on my breast
so after dropping the little one off at day are this morning I have to go to the doctors and get it surgically removed which means I'll have stitches so until they are healed I can no longer do my weight training days on my upper body and my cardio has to be slow paced, I'm so upset I feel like this will only set me back but I know as I continue to eat clean and exercise how I can till its healed I should be alright I just feel like I took one step forward and then 3 steps back, but that's life hey? Throwing curve balls. Hope everyone here has a great day and remember you are only as good as your last workout!

dropbearclan, lots of luck at the doctors..!!
Bummer that you can't work out like you are used to, but just remember a bit of exercise is better than none.
Yesterday I ate splitpea soup with 2 panini's, which wasn't that bad.
But my husband had bought sausage rolls. So he made them at 8pm.
And I ate it
When I logged everything this morning it turns out that the extra walking i did yesterday covered the extra calories, but still......
have a great day everyone...!!0 -

So sorry I haven't replied sooner I keep forgetting to check this haha, doctors went good was told I'd need to see a plastic surgeon to get it removed but its starting to go away now I will receive my ultrasound results hopefully tomorrow, and everyone deserves a treat once in awhile so don't beat yourself up you are doing a fantastic job!!!

I can't go on a full in strict diet I still allow myself a treat if I really want one but I don't go over my calories and I now limit myself on how much of that treat I can have, like the other day we had my fav chips in the house I used to eat a while packet now I put a small portion in one of my sons little bowls and I eat that and put the rest away haha0

How is everyone doing..???
My S-I-L had her birthday yesterday and of course she had cake.
I logged everything, and i turns out that i actually still had 14 calories left.
I'm getting the hang of this.
