Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.
I have no idea what weight I am, I refuse to step on scales and when I have to, when at the GP or hospital for example, I ask them not to say out loud, just write it in my notes
I wear size 10 jeans and 14/16 tops. Im a lollipop. Skinny legs and round belly. No bum or hips, just boobs and belly
. I fluctuate between 9 and 10 and a half stone when I really shouldn't be above 9 but hey ho - such is life
Like others I don't care about the weight so much, just now getting older worry about the health risks of a poor diet
I think Ive mentioned I cook 90% of what we eat from scratch and that I do full fat everything and Im partial to a slice of bread with my butter
I don't like veg, never have had ( force fed as a child has that effect) but I do my best to eat them as long as Ive cooked them. I don't panic too much about getting five a day, Im feeling really pleased if I get 3. Im also not fussed on fruit, I don't ever think Oh I fancy a banana/apple/orange etc
So my idea of healthy eating could be way out of skelter with others but it works for me and mine. I do eat oily fish, I don't eat much in the way of sausages, ham etc, mostly eat chicken, eggs and cheese and what little red meat I do eat, it a small old fashion portion for me - a slice or two of paper thin beef for example . If we do want cakes or biscuits , they are home made. same with pies, all home made, lard and butter in the pastry and a beef stew isn't right unless there is dumplings
Im like Eliza, I do prefer a sandwich to a meal any-day of the week but I now keep the bread down to work days when Ive no left overs to take for lunch, so now Im down to about 10 slices a week on a bad week. Ive stopped making bread because I honestly could demolish a loaf with a pack of butter all by myself in one sitting
What I do always try to have, is fresh home made soup at hand. Every Sunday when Im getting the dinner on I make two pots of soup, a chunky vegetable broth for Mr Missy ( he doesn't like blended soups ) and a blended soup for me and mum.Our may be leek and potato, butternut squash, red pepper and tomato, anything really. I freeze half of both and the rest goes in the fridge and if Im hungry, a cup of soup is a quick fix. Ive even had soup for breakfast - keeps me away from the bread bin
