Thanks

For breakfast I'm having a bowl of porridge. For lunch I'm having either sandwiches or bagels with cheese/soft cheese, crisps and yoghurt. For dinner I'm having either meat (beef or chicken) with veg and potatoes/chips or pasta. I'm trying to get in as many carbs as possible and make sure I have a good bit of protein at least once a day. I'm not snacking atm really.

 

[Avalanche]

Eat more Hun. By not having breakfast you're blood sugar will dip low making you more hungry and more likely to binge. Noodles are just carbs, which will make you feel full at first but they digest quickly leaving you hungry very soon afterwards, so again you are more likely to binge.

Have something like porridge for brekkie which has slow release protein and will keep you full until lunch. Then for lunch have something like chicken breast and veg with salad.

Even a tin of beans has a lot of protein in it. The more protein, the fuller you feel for longer.

You need carbs in your diet, but carbs come in everything pretty much and aren't good for filling up on.

thank u for replying what dates your wedding? mines the 20th there brill ideas thank you. im in the uk, im a very fussy eater i love all tastes hate textures its really wierd i dont eat much fruit and only cooked veg no salad as i hate the crunchy texture and bannas are my worst the texture makes me gag! its strange i ate anything when i was a baby then from when i turned 3 i just wouldnt eat anything ive got loads better i used to only eat plain stuff now i eat quite alot and if i have lasagne or anything i add veg and blend it into the sause so i cant feel the texture lol!!! xx

 

[topsy]

hehe, I am the day after you I cant wait, Just so worried I wont loose weight, and I will look awful in my dress I would like to loose 3 stone really before the wedding, not sure if that is possible though, but going to give it a shot. How are your plans going sweets?

Just had a babybel, that's another snack

Aw, one of my friends doesn't like the texture of certain foods, especially bananas, I was really surprised when I saw her give her LO one, cause she wouldn`t go near them before!!! Well done for purring some veg in sauces that's a great idea, can you do that with a load of veg and add some LF creme fraiche to make a soup? I sometimes do that, then Its a low fat cheap meal

Take care xxx

Trying to sort out flowers, and find a tiara at the mo we sent invites out at weekend , but only cause so many of my family are abroad and they need time to book flights, excited about getting RSVPs back We are having a honeymoon in the UK hired a cottage, 2 weeks after wedding, as we couldn't afford to really go abroad.
