I baked biscuits today. Butter, sugar, flour, egg & custard powder. I ate every single one. Yesterday I had a burger and chips from the chippy, that was a blow-out after 3 pints. And on Saturday I had McDs. Is it any wonder I feel like *****.

Self control went down the toilet

If I have a spell like that I get rid of all the naughty foods and ingredients (give them to my daughter) and fill my cupboards/fridge with the "good stuff" .

Have a look at the Low carb recipes as you obviously like to bake, stratiacella cake (uses almond flour and sweetener amongst other stuff) download the recipe books from the DUCK website then bake/cook yourself silly. You may end up eating too much and being stuffed but at least your bs won't suffer
I got an " almost bounty" recipe of the Scream Thread yesterday which sounds good. High calories but low bs

Right you missus! That was just a couple of days - look how far you've come and how strong your will is when you are focused. @Sable_Jan 's suggestion about the low carb baking is spot on. It will keep your brain, hands and creativity occupied. I'm going to start a new regime tomorrow, I'd been getting careless and if I don't sit on it now...well, you know. Let's keep each other focused Paula.

I'm off to bed now, been up and about since 5.30am and am kn*****ed Sweet dreams everyone. Hope you all have a good, long sleep

Phew! I've got a numb bum now - I got the latest Star Wars DVD for DS this afternoon and after him telling his friends about it online and me phoning mum it was rather late when we started watching it. Note to self - don't start watching a 2 and a half hour long film after 8 pm! Night all

I've done the Almost-Bounty recipe. They're great, very nice. But I had to stop making them because once I start eating them I didn't stop.

Your will power and my will power must be having a party together out in the wild blue yonder.

Yey, back in the 5s ... 5.8 this morning. Getting good control again helped - feeling happier, now off to swim 1.2km ... well if I can wake up

 

[Lindy1706]

5.4 am
okay, ate later last night, SiL 50th, so there were bubbles and some cake (carrot).
Feeling completely kippered this morning, wheels fell off last night and left wife and son to look after themselves.
Usually go swimming on a Tuesday, though not too sure if we will manage it today... see how the next hour goes.

@PenfoldAPD good stuff fella, keep on keeping on.

That is very kind of you @Diamum5972 ... after a swim and post breakie I'm at 6.9 but I think that's to be expected and am not too worried. Have a great day

Honestly feel so much better @Lindy1706 after just 2 good days - and I had some sneaky red wine last night. Hope your numbers are ok today?

@hankjam cheers mate, jealous of your bubbles and cake go swimming - you know it'll be good for you!
