This.

I love lasagne but can never get it to fit into my calories count so I substituted the beef mince with turkey mince, and bechamel sauce with low fat yoghurt mixed with 2 raw eggs (pinch of mustard powder and nutmeg's a good add too). It's really tasty and low fat. I don't think there's anything wrong with tweaking recipes…

Clothes are tight Triggers depression episodes Prolonged feelings of absolutely no self-worth and completely undeserving of any love.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been there time and time again. But I have been able to slowly get better, sort of. Add me if you want. *hug*

Particularly considering knowledge regarding weight loss/gain is constantly evolving, meaning even the most swotted up person is always learning. Add me if you like, I I don't do nasty or sarcastic responses, only…

Wow, thank you for your replies, I can't believe it got replies so quickly! Loving the support of this site.

If more of my calories were made up of carbs would that create a weight gain then? I…

:flowerforyou: Thank you xxx
