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

[swish]

Hello!!
How is everybody? Any updates, mocha? Zani, great news about you helping out on the forum!
Haven't recorded food for a couple of days but it's been bad, it is ds1's birthday today and we celebrated today and yesterday and my food was not good! I haven't felt hungry though as I've had plenty of food so that's a nice change!!

swish - doesn't it feel good to eat some normal food for a day or two? I find I'm a lot less cranky when I'm not hungry all the time!

I used a FRER this morning with FMU and got a BFN, and just now (3:30) I used an IC and got another BFN. Tomorrow I'll be 11dpo, so if I'm pregnant I hope I'll get my positive then. I need to run out and get more FRERs.

I have lots of little niggly symptoms, but nothing that screams pregnant to me. I don't really 'feel' pregnant, but then again, I'm not sure anyone really does at 10dpo. Today I've had cramps on and off (which could be bowel-related), a runny nose, and yellow cm - it's not creamy, more watery. Up until today I've been so tired I've been practically narcoleptic - every time I sat down to read a book or watch TV, I fell asleep. Today I'm less tired, but I had a lot better sleep last night (my boys have been waking up at 5:30, but slept until 6:30 today).

I'm really, really hoping this will be the month, not only because of the diet, but also because if we TTC next month, the due date will be right around my twins' birthday, which would be hard on them.

Happy Birthday to your DS1 swish! Glad you had a good weekend, I wondered where you were

Still crossing everything for you mocha x

Today I had:

Lunch: Wrap with tomato and basil phili light, Velvet Crunch, White choc and strawberry cereal bar
Snack: Mini battenberg cake (shouldn't have had that really!)
Dinner: Indian take-away - small portion of vegetable curry with boiled rice and a corner of Naan Bread. 2 boiled sweets and a nectarine for pudding.

I didn't count anything today as I knew we were having the Indian. I was super good and avoided the chocolate fudge cake (which everybody else had hot with ice-cream for pudding!) and the next time I order an Indian it will be once I'm off the girl diet so I can eat something I actually enjoy!!

OMG, Zana - you deserve a medal for not having that cake. There is nothing better than warm chocolate cake with cold ice cream - I would have eaten it for sure.

I was so tempted mocha - I went through a phase as a teenager of having this just about every day - I was lovely and slim too

7am: coffee
12pm: 1/2 bagel with low fat peanut butter, yellow plums
5pm: rice pasta with leeks, zucchini and parmesan, 2 sugar free cookies, rice milk

I'm wondering if I should start a new food thread as this one could very well go on forever .... !

I was wondering that too. It might be less intimidating for new people to join if it's not so huge. Maybe even a new one every month? Do let us know if you start a new one, though, because knowing me I'll keep posting here and no one will be reading it!
