Have been on the 24hr blood pressure monitor yesterday and today, made cooking an interesting adventure as I couldn't bend my arm very well. All good though as I have perfect results. Yesterday: Breakfast - nothing Lunch: chicken fajita without the tortilla, cheese and sour cream Dinner: A...

Back on the wagon again and found the cravings really hard to cope with today. I did not break though. This is what I've eaten today. Late breakfast - chunk of mattesons sausage, 2 slices cheese. Lunch - chicken stirfry made with mushrooms, spring onions and bean sprouts Dinner - Chicken fajitas...

Wagon? What wagon? That thing raced off months ago without me on it. I have now caught up with it and have had my first day back travelling along with it. This WILL be the year that I finally get it all sorted.

Soooo late with my eating! Yesterday L - Roast lamb, runner beans and tenderstem broccoli D - chicken breast with skin on. cheese sauce. 1 square 90% chocolate Sugars are all over the place again, my fault for my fall from the wagon on Saturday. Woke up today with 11.1!!!!!!! It will only go...

Totally back on the wagon today. The cravings are gone and I’ve reduced my sugars over the day back to normal levels. Ate nothing until dinner but drank a lot of water. D-steak, garlic mushrooms and salad.

Thank you so much for this, it looks amazing.

Thank you so much for your offer of the recipe booklet. That would be great. Shall I PM you my email address?

5 days of intense cravings and I finally caved in. I own it and take full responsibility for the big mac and fries. I learn two things; 1. It didn’t taste as good as I remembered. 2. Self loathing hurts more than the cravings.

Hadn’t thought of that. I will definitely be trying it

I did! In fact the 85% is from there and I have a 90% in the fridge. 100% still tastes and feels like charcoal to me but I’m hoping I’ll be able to stomach it at some point. Im trying to replace chocolate with SF jelly and cream but didn’t have any ready.

I may or may not have eaten way more chocolate than I should today. At least it was 85%

Oh my goodness the cravings for anything carb heavy! So proud of myself that I’ve resisted but it’s been so painful. I even had my shoes on at one point to go to McDonald’s. I.did.not.go! Anyhow food today was B-nothing L-Sainsbury’s saag paneer and soured cream D-chicken with Cajun spices...

Joining in here as I feel like having people to be accountable to is helping me stay on track. Weight today 13 stone 13lb. So nice to see the number drop down into the lower weight. That’s a loss of 3 stone in a year that includes a good 6 months off the wagon. Another 4 at least to go.

Weird day today. Ate at lunch rather than dinner as it’s mum’s birthday, and now I’m craving food because my head is telling me that I haven’t eaten tonight but my stomach says it’s not hungry! Doing lots of things to keep my mind off it so I don’t fall off the wagon. B-raspberries and cream L-...

I’m good with 90% but thought I’d treat myself to chocolate orange as it’s my favourite and I found it at 70%, which was better than Lindt which was much lower. Sadly it triggered my sweet tooth so shall be sticking to 85% and up!

@jayney27 I always enjoyed Yoga, you've reminded me that I really should get back to it. So the treat of 70% orange chocolate from Hotel Chocolat was a very bad idea as it has kicked off the most incredible cravings today. I am very proud of myself though because I have not given in, even when...

Feeling much better today and sugars showing that. Woke at 7.3 and was down to 5.2 by 12. Had a lovely mooch around Exeter today with a friend and treated myself to come hotel chocolat goodies. B-nothing L-nothing D-3 Sainsbury’s Toulouse sausages, a portobello mushroom in garlic butter and a...

@daisy1 has great info too. Hoping this tag works! There are a few meters that have cheaper strips, Tee2 and SD Codefree. Search for them on here as I believe there are discount codes too.

Hi Frankie You’ve done the first great thing in the road to control by signing in here. There are so many wonderful people here to give you advice, motivation and a supportive ear when you need it. I was in the same position, except I was in denial much longer. I then had a huge scare which...

Feeling grotty again, sugars were up in the 8s until dinner time again, although I'm starting to think I'm eating the wrong thing at breakfast and might need more fat there. B - SF jelly and cream L - Salami and Maasdam cheese D - A gorgeous ribeye, fried mushrooms and a small salad. Half a pot...
