[QUOTE="purplepenguin, post: 931829, member: 202878"] Then why didn't you ask? This is a basic piece of information that you need, and have a right to. How are you meant to make any changes when you don't know your starting point? You cannot measure progress and get the resulting satisfaction if you do not know your numbers. On Tuesday you must call the surgery and find it out. Dinner didn't sound too bad, actually rather yummy (and i don't like fish!) but why not try next time having it with salad with cheese or a few nuts and a dressing made from olive oil and vinegar? That will reduce the carbs dramatically as it gets rid of the potato and the ketchup. Eat as much salad as you want so that you don't feel hungry (Although feeling hungry once in a while is no bad thing). Well done with turning down the chocolate, next time also ask that they put it somewhere you cannot get at it, that way there will be no way you can relapse.My husband is 6ft7 and I am 5 ft 1 so he puts all the food I'm not allowed to have so high up that I cannot reach it even with a chair. It works! Also, keep yourself busy for at least an hour after they offer it e.g. offer to do the washing up and clean the kitchen, read a book, have a bath etc. Cravings only last an hour or so.
