For people that want to record what they are eating (to help be strict!)

I can't remember what we were watching on telly last night but it prompted DH to make a comment about how 'BDing' is the best thing in the world and my response was 'don't be silly, the best thing in the world is food'!

I would trade sex for a big, salty meal with chocolate for dessert ANY DAY!!!

zanacal - that fruit crumble sounds yummy! I made something similar to that when my in-laws were here...maybe I should make it again as a treat!

My sister is a veggie so mum would already be cooking something for her and I've said I'm not eating meat anymore as it upsets my stomach!!! When I am pregnant I'll say I'm eating it again as it's best for the baby!!

That's a great idea - maybe I'll try that with my brother at the cottage! I realised that my kids will need to eat dinner early anyway since he doesn't eat until 7 or so, so I will just eat with them.

People will just believe what you say as they have no reason to be suspicious of you...little do they know!!!,

Congrats DM and OotB for making it through your first morning without breakfast!

DM - I think you need to leave room in the diet for treats that are very important to you, and your morning tea does not sound that bad at all. That's why I still snack at night - I NEED that to keep me happy - I always look forward to eating something while I watch tv. I just make sure I snack on something girl-friendly, like strawberries or frozen yogurt.

That's convenient having a vegetarian sister swish! I'm going to a friend's house for dinner at the beginning of August and she won't even let on what she's cooking - I'm pretty darn sure it will include meat though! I feel better about it knowing that we probably won't ttc until my September cycle. I'll just eat as little of the meat as possible and maybe offer to take a salad! Luckily we haven't been invited to any BBQs lately as the weather has been too crap!

My brother's coming for a visit tomorrow and staying overnight. He's vegetarian, so I'm hoping I can get away with ordering in some thin crust pizza or vegetable curry (he loves Indian food, so this is a distinct possibility).

Sounds good, mocha!
Weather has been rubbish, so much rain! I've also avoided otter people's houses by suggesting eating out, st least you can choose a best fit option!
Both my sisters are veggie and both have 2 boys and 1 girl, I think one got a girl because she conceived month after miscarriage and other lost a bit (not a lot and certainly not lowest adult weight!!) before conceiving. I also think latter sister's dh is less fit than he used to be, don't know if that made a difference. Didn't seem like the meat was an issue, both eat very healthily!

FWIW, I was eating a veggie diet when I concieved DS#1 and I was all vegan for a whole year leading up to the conception of DS#2 so don't feel like it'll break your sway if you have a bite of meat here and there, especially if it'll keep you on the diet as a whole.
