I think we're all confessing our sins today, I'm eating a teasers bar as I'm typing with a lovely milky coffee. Funny thing is a don't feel guilty as I've tried my best all week so this is my treat to me. Enjoy ladies tomorrow is another day.
Hang in there 3sacharm you've been doing really well and fingers crossed that when you're ready dh can't resist!
Beautifulrainbow I know what you mean about Turkish delight it's one of my weaknesses too, I love frys.
Sounds lovely chocolate, hope you spent lots!
Hahahaha, we are all confessing our food sins cos it is Sunday!! X

I too am confessing my food sins, haha! I'm eating a 4th meal of empty carbs I've been craving. The only thing I have going for me is the empty carbs [emoji38]! AF is due so I'm counting it as my cheat and moving on.
One day isn't so bad! Tomorrow will be strict once again!

I have been naughty since a day or so after I o'd. Been using the tww as an excuse to snack and have some meat (needing the protein) because once sme gender has already been determined. I jave not tealky been giing over my limits still though. If I get my AF then I will get back on the diet fully. I felt like after doing the diet for about a year I needed a slight breakQuote:

Nope! I'm happy though. There would only be 13mo between them and that freaked me out a bit! I'm very proud of the sway I've put together and feel I have a great shot at pink starting in May/June. I'd like to see what this cycle is like as I just had my first cycle in March.
Thank you though!

Sorry for no bfp but yes the extra age gap is a positive :-)
Today I has sweet potato chips at lunch and 2 coffees today with a little sugar in as I've realised my levels have probably been a little too low and is making me binge on naughty foods so I tiny bit for a pick me up in a coffee has helped. I'm not sure what I'll eat later, maybe toast or a hot cross bun and I have half a glass of wine left for tonight :-)

Hi ladies..
My Af showed up which means my craving for chocolate even more has begun!
I have not been able to have black coffee with no sugar. Is this bad?? :worry:
No atomic said with milk or cream is fine. With sweeter 1st thing but if you need more calories add sugar to your coffee at meal times

Dinner last night was mushroom tagliatelle with a glass of wine
Oh heck i have sugar with all my cups. I cant do without it and not keen on sweetner. Thanks for feedback xQuote:

Hope that af isn't too bad chocolate!
Had a bagel and coffee so far today. Going to have a bowl of porridge and some breadsticks with whipped Philly cheese which is my new fave ATM lol xx
Hmm, would it make any difs if i changed sugar to sweetener? I cannot stomach coffee and no sugar, id rather go without.
Sounds yummy! Funny I can eat what I want now but what your alk eating sound more appealing

I taste the difference I know when my hubby has put sugar in my coffee but I'm so used to the sweeter now! You will have to give it a try and play around with it maybe you like 3 or 4 spoons of sweeter. I buy the canderel powder form. You need to add it before you add the milk as if froths up!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Yes maybe try gradually replacing the sugar, I use candarel too. I have been good so far,avoided the cafe food and just had some left over cold pasta in tomato sauce on top of lettuce and cucumber with a little grated cheese. Only eaten half of it and going to do my exercise now to get it done.... Can choose what I like to watch on the tclv as the kids aren't here :-)

I dont mind sweetener/aspartame at all.. Just read so many say they would not touch the stuff its very bad for you!! Arg..
I guess lots of things are bad for us..
"Aspartame is one of the most controversial sweeteners in the world. It is claimed to cause health problems ranging from headaches to cancer"
Think ill add Candarel to my list today along with Folate
And yet the recommend it for diabetics. Some people are allergic to the aspartame some people are not. You will get bad headaches from it if you areQuote:

Lunch was rocket and cucumber drizzled with balsamic oil, added parmesan shavings. 2 rice cakes with low fat spread. 3 tortilla chips which i dipped in to hummus. Craving chocolate but dont have, so had a 3rd rice cake with peanut butter.. oh, And a coffee
Maybe wean self slowly off sugar by starting to add less and less? And having weaker coffee at first then strengthening back up?
Wow that lunch sounds delicious!! Xx
Breakfast was a toasted bagel with peanut butter and banana and a crumpet randomly?! Just had lunch of a jacket potato with 1/4 tin of baked beans and 20g of cheese with salad. Not sure what dinner will be... got bagels and crumpets that need using lol!x
Just had a dinner feast.. baked cambembert, side salad of rocket, tomatoes and feta with balsamic. Moroccan hummus. Warmed 3 cheese bread. Wine. And whole nut chocolate.. because i need chocolate in my life when my AF is here.. boohoo :shrug:
Omg squiggle stooooop that all sounds so good. Well minus the healthy stuff lol xx

Hey Ladies, may I ask to chime in?! I am on CD 7, planning to ttc this month! I skipped last month because O was more then a week late and I couldn't keep up the good job on the diet any longer. I started to ttc a year ago but skipped many cycles and had a miscarriage in between so in total only 6 month actually ttc -but definitely enough to be sick of the diet. I used to be sooo strict, 17 hours fasting and only 2 meals a day, but I can't keep it up anymore.
I started having a coffee with little skimmed milk in the morning-you think that is fine? And I have a meal at noon ( low fat plain yogurt with strawberrys, sweetened with Canderell , one at 4pm ( Salad most of the time) and a light dinner like plain whole grain spaghetti with ruccola und some cheese or something like that at 7pm. I still avoid snacking, only sipping coke zero and water or peppermint tea in between meals and having one or two glasses of wine or Prosecco every other evening. BUT sometimes I eat a peace of chocolate with my meal, or a cookie and the biggest change is the coffee in the morning-but it is a life saver so I think I will keep having it.
forgot to mention, I always loosen the diet after confirmed 0 for a couple of days ( as a treat :-))
You all seem to eat Bagels, I haven't had bread in forever- Bagels with cream cheese work for lunch?

Hi mydaughter.
Chocolate and sweets are fine as long as it is with meals and kept with in your limits and coffee with any milk or cream in is fine too!

Hi and welcome mydaughter. Nice to have a new member to this thread. I also have coffee with milk (sometimes skimmed and sometimes medium or full fat milk plus sweetener) in the morning - actually I have 2-3 cups. I is a life saver for me. I think you better be eating 3-4 meals in total or eat more, so you are able to keep up the diet. I think Atomic says the diet is supposed to be easy to stick to.

Lunch today was a bowl of Moroccan couscous, 1 rice cake with low fat spread, 3 salt and pepper crackers AND i finished off the end of my whole nut chocolate bar... (because i have no willpower) :)
I 100% agree with thisQuote:

I had a brunch today due to being busy over lunch so had coffee and potato bread and a Diet Coke. Going to have some coleslaw and pasta salad soon xx
Hi mydaughter! Well, re bagels I think as they are low within the limits and quote filling, some of us choose to have them. Mine have been in the freezer so need using up! I had 1 1/2 bagels toasted this morning with a very thin smearing of peanut butter and topped with banana again. Lunch was a whole meal wrap with half a run of tomatoes, an egg and 20g of cheese followed by half a peanut kitkat! Not ideal for le I know but I feel it helps me keep on track more if I allow myself the treats within the limits as quite a few of you have said! Not sure what I'm doing for dinner, possibly veggie curry as I shoved that in the slow cooker this am!x
Mmm curry. I love curry.

Hi mydaughter, nice to have some more people joining us, can't imagine being on this diet for so long, I almost want to drop the rephresh etc. To get pregnant right away so I can eat my usual meals :-)
Today I had skinny popcorn and a small salad with some feta pasta which I didn't like so only ate half and a naughty slice of lemon drizzle cake in a cafe but kept within limits easily. I've had an early tea of 2 slices of toast and grapes.
Just cooking for the family a chicken and Butterbean casserole with roast potatoes and Yorkshires...
Not sure I can resist one potato and Yorkshire! Will be having a glass or 2 of wine this evening and have managed to keep my fat percentage within the goal today! :-)
