December's pink food thread!

[amari]

Amari, I really don't think you're eating too much! It doesn't seem like too much at all. Also, you need that food b/c you're still dropping weight, already tiny and going on Clomid. ALL of this is already swaying pink for you! You are doing such a good job and I'm really hoping you get your BFP this first try!

Thanks, i am actually eating what feels like a lot, but i guess calories and fat wise its not. i keep adding things like kit kats and cookies! Hope you get your bfp too!

First dinner on the diet...

about 150grams of plain couscous with Quark (Quark (cheese) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), a splash of lemon juice, some pepper and a little rosemary (not sure what the rules are on that!), and slices of cucumber with the skins taken off.

Hm, not bad, actually!

[Mochagirl]

Sounds yummy, suregena!

[suregena]

Well, it certainly helps feel the void... a little. Hah.

[Mochagirl]

The only way I've managed to survive on this diet for so long is by finding acceptable treats. I looooove cheese, so I save up my protein/sodium allowance so I can use lots of parm on my pasta or put an extra serving of mozzarella on my low sodium pizza. I also eat treats like ice cream and cookies, since as long as they're within the calories/fat/sodium/protein guidelines, they're ok.

[suregena]

I don't want to count my limits so much as guess/estimate/assume or else I'll probably stress myself out too much, and I'm a stress head so I'm trying to be super mellow.

Cookies sound really good right now... Heh, what have I gotten myself into!

[amari]

i have been eating sugar-free popsicles, fudgesicles, and creamsicles! they come in one box and have really low calories and are yummy!

[Mochagirl]

Mmmm - that sounds great, amari! I'm going to look for those next time I go grocery shopping. Are they Popsicle brand?

[amari]

I think so, or Fudgesicle Brand, whatever those are. They each have 10, 20 or 45 cals in them and no fat or sugar! Great addition to my dessert Ha, Ha!!
