January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

[chloe_dreamofpink]

Hi girls! thanks for some more great ideas of what I can be eating. I was ttc earlier this year and have taken a break for the past few months. I lost too much weight and was not feeling too good so i needed to step away for a while. We have just restarted the diet and will be ttc again in the next few months. I am usually quite a healthy eater, so the LE diet is a big change for me. I don't think I can go as far as to incorporate artificial sweeteners in my sway. Does anyone know statistics on here from girls that did and didn't incorporate that into their sway? Is it a big factor? Thank you

chloe - I don't think artificial sweeteners matter at all. I don't think there are stats, but I've seen TONS of successful sways on this site that don't use them at all.

I'm going to start posting here again (at least until I go on vacation on Friday). I'm having major problems sticking to the diet now that I've had my attempt so maybe this will help. I was very naughty today, but I blame going WAY too far yesterday (I thought it was ovulation day so I didn't eat much all day and made myself sick). I woke up hungry and had a bad day.

Breakfast (put off eating until 10:00 AM, but felt so so sick so I had to cave!): 1 confetti cake poptart - normally I'd never EVER eat poptarts, but such is life on LE!

Lunch (1 PM) - 1/2 of a margherita flatbread

Snack (5 PM) - small non fat caramel frappucino, no whip cream

Dinner (8 PM) - 2 slices of mushroom/green pepper pizza from papa johns, 1/2 bottle of wine

1735 calories, 48 grams of fat (25%), 50 grams of protein

Must be better tomorrow!

Thank you bluebonnet22. I know how you feel. Hang in there. An off day here and there won't hurt. And the 2ww is tough. The support on here helps so much xo

Chloe - I never have and never would use artificial sweetener. It's a personal choice thing and I don't think this (or any one thing) would make or break a sway.

Yesterday:
500- coffee with whole milk
930- Nescafé cafe menu latte sachet, a banana, a graze honeycomb flapjack
1200- a jacket potato, mash direct cauliflower cheese, salad leaves and beetroot
400- can of pret sparkling ginger beer
800- stuffed peppers (recipe on the recipe thread) , ate a handful of pretzels and humous as I cooked. Glass of whole milk.

2000 cal, 63g fat, 50g protein

Last time I drank one diet drink a day, usually in the morning to keep me going. I found I had regular headaches and put it down to them. So this time I might drink a few in the days before DTD but no more than that. I normally eat REALLY healthily too so am finding the extra sugar and processed food very odd!

Plan for today:
Lunch - Tesco healthy living bean soup with some bread/bagel, a Fanta and a Weight Watchers chocolate roll
Snack - Baked crisps and a drink
Dinner - pasta with Weight Watchers Piri Piri sauce, and LE friendly veggies, with wine

Yesterday I had a coffee for breakfast. Take out Asian vegetable stir fry for lunch (was basically vegetables in oil with white rice), and some weight watcher cookies and marshmallows for dinner. I was just not hungry after working out in the evening. I have to admit that unlike some of you ladies I have no problems with sweets and super processed foods. I love them I just want to eat more of them then the LE diet allows LOL. I didn't calculate totals but since I basically only ate one meal I'm sure I'm fine. I'll have to make sure to eat better today though so that I don't start losing too quick.

Trying hard here:

Lunch - French bread filled with salad, baked crisps and a fizzy orange
Snack - G&T and cassava crisps (plus the leftover spoonful of mashed potato the boys couldn't finish)
Dinner - DH wanted Fish and Chips so I had a small portion of the chips plus a vegetable burger, in some bread with lettuce, and a beer.

Just a thought. Do you think we should start a new thread with a more obvious title? I wondered whether newbie pink swayers may not spot this one and I think we've got tonnes of helpful and supportive stuff to share about LE.
