  • Some great advice here! I also have an anxiety disorder and sometimes after I've been to the gym or exercised vigorously I do find I have much heightened anxiety. On other days my anxiety is much lower because I've exercised and there doesn't seem to be a pattern! It may be that your body is still in "fight or flight" mode…

  • English mustard and low/non-fat yoghurt. About 3 parts yoghurt to 1 part mustard mmmm. Goes really well with leftover pork!

  • This doesn't really happen to me as I tend to make a salad the night before from something I really like. It's usually based around some leftovers and I try to make a new salad every day (although usually I alternate between 2 salads from mon-thurs then something different friday). Today it was pork sausage salad with a…

  • Tomato and mozzarella on a bed of spinach with a drizzle of pesto was the main event, mmm, surprisingly so filling! Then a red blush pear, apple, banana and a handful of grapes. Cannot get enough of lovely fresh fruit at the minute!

  • Proud of not being annoyed that over the last three days the number on the scales has gone up by 1 lb rather than down, because I know that's just the usual fluctuation and I'll be down by my target 2 lbs by Friday

  • I can walk past pizza, chocolate, pastries, bread, crisps, fizzy drinks and processed meats in my local Tesco without a glance at any of it. I feel no temptation at all towards any of it and that feels so good! It also makes me feel not guilty if I do indulge once in a while, because I know it's my choice to do so! Oh and…

  • I used to dread it but now, not so much. Most places I eat have tasty low cal options. And I often ask them to substitute some things like instead of fries, a salad with the dressing on the side. Or the other day I asked for a wholewheat pasta instead of white at an Italian place and they were happy to oblige! Being able…
    in Do you dread eating out now? Comment by brokenlogic18 October 2013
  • For me, my lunches are usually centred around some leftovers from a meal the night before/at the weekend and I just do variations on that theme. You can see these in my food diary! A huge favourite is tomato, mozzarella, spinach and rocket with pesto. I'm roasting a shoulder of pork this weekend so next weeks lunches I'm…

  • Olive oil! I actually make sure I have calories left in my diary to accommodate some olive oil, it makes you feel surprisingly full.

  • That's really good advice, I'll give it a go with those before I spend any money!

  • I'm in! That'll take me down to a nice round 200 lbs, a great way to start the new year! (That is after taking into account the epic Christmas Dinner that I shall not be depriving myself of!)
