Grumble Grrr Hungry Meh

Yep.  am dieting.  Well no, Carol, my Slimming World group leader says it's NOT a diet.  It's a lifestyle choice.  So I have therefore chosen to be hungry.  Actually, in real life it's a pretty good diet, as good as any Kettle Chip restricting diet can be.  I do love a Kettle Chip...dribble...

So anyway, I have eaten 8 of my 5 a day and have invented a dish involving passata, peppers and green lentils...so am feeling virtuous if rather empty in the tummage department.  I had my first ritual humiliation  weigh in last Thursday night.  It was as disastrous as I expected, but in the glass-half-full sense, at least in the event of famine I would last ages and my family could gnaw on me for months before touching bone.  So, I got weighed and the plan was explained to me...superfree foods...free foods...healthy extras (A and B obv)...syns (used to be called sins but thats all a bit unPC now)..all very confusing and definitely not enough Kettle Chip involvement for my liking but it's worth a go.  I did have one final blowout when i returned from the group on Thursday.  £10 for any Dominos pizza, an offer not to be sniffed at.

So apart from a little spare rib related slip on Saturday night I have done pretty well this week.   Chickpea has a cold and has been on a 3 day breastfeeding binge so by rights I should have lost around 2 stones in my first week.  Shut up.

I am off to go and throw healthy things into my slow cooker, before Chickpea awakes and demands boobage.
