Hi everyone,
My second posting on 3FC and felt like having abit of a natter. I am just on my lunchbreak and munching on Pineapple sticks and granny smith apple! I really struggle deciding what to eat at lunch cos I get really hungry. Unfortunately I don't like raw veg or salad so finding something healthy can be tough.
My body aches today too I went to my first body combat class at the gym in about 4 months and man it was tough! However I have booked in again for 2 classes tonight - Body Combat and Easy Step which will make 5 classes since Saturday.
I haven't had any chocolate for 3 days so if I haven't lost any weight I will be totally depressed!
Am starting to feel bit better emotionally though - last Saturday / Sunday I was feeling rock bottom.
its quite worrying how much my weight issue effects every aspect of my life!

One of my faves is 1 wedge laughing cow cheese, 2 oz. lowfat turkey, lots of lettuce, tomato slice. It is SO good and practically air for calories if you use low cal bread like Weight Watchers. You can also do the same thing with a flat out wrap.

Zero point soups are always great if you have access to a microwave.

If I really need to fill up I make myself whole meal pasta salad with a bunch of steamed veg and some fat free salad dressing. Then I put in a container and bring it with me. The whole wheat/meal pasta is a real slow burner and keeps me full longer than fruit which is low calorie and fat but really is sugar that burns off faster.

I like some protein for my lunch, I like something like a poached egg on toast, but as your taking a packed lunch, maybe try a hard boiled egg, some tuna and salad?! That should tackle those hunger pangs! WTG on the exercise too, what a great start!!

im not a huge lunch eater, im normally so busy i dont have time to think about food (which i now like in my life) i do feel i need food though, so i get sugar lows, and i get tired or i can not concentrate anymore. like now, i need more food before i can continue my essay. lol.
dont get too down if u have not lost anything though. people loose at different speeds, i have to be good for 2 weeks!!!! before i even see a dramatic change in the scales. so just hold in there if u dont see anything, and think, well tommorow is another day to fight the weight again :-)

I am obsessed with a sandwich I have been buying all week and last week - hummous, coriander and lemond drizzled basil sandwich. Obviously full of calories - about 400 odd but I notice there is a sandwich recipe in Slimming World that is very similar - except uses watercress so I may save pennies and pounds by doing it myself!!!

I have been craving hummus something bad for weeks now but even the homemade stuff has more fat than I am really allowed...bah

Well I guess it depends what diet you follow and I would have the sandwich at lunchtime and have just veggies for dinner.
