I'm in a 'bottomless pit' mode today - just can't eat enough!

So far I've had:

2 fried eggs, tomatoes, avocado, 2 coffees
Sea bass fillets, red cabbage & salad, 2 glasses of wine
3 slices of bacon, brown sauce, on a buttered brioche bun
1 mini Magnum

I'm still hungry!

For lunch I made a meat pie with some leftover beef stew and Jusroll puff pastry. Plus green beans.
Delicious, but indigestion later.
A light supper tonight (Ryvita and cheese.)

A fast day, so:
Two grilled fishfingers, half a slice of buttered wholemeal bread.
A very few pasta shapes with a portion of homemade lentil and veg sauce.
100g of physalis and a sharon fruit.

Hope you’re alright oldbatty flowers

Oh, its gurgling in a bad way now.

Gonegirl Tue 18-Dec-18 13:56:39

Two shredded wheat with blueberries. And for lunch three eggs scrambled with slices bread and butter. And a good spoonful of Gaviscon Advance as my acid reflux has been playing up something chronic this morning.

Gonegirl Tue 18-Dec-18 13:57:02

2slices...

Gonegirl Tue 18-Dec-18 14:52:51

I am now munching my way through a pack of chocolate buttons bought for grandson. Because the tree lights are tangled. Sigh.

Gonegirl Tue 18-Dec-18 14:53:43

Coins. Not Buttons. And coins involve much more chocolate.

NanaKay58 Tue 18-Dec-18 15:51:49

Ended up not having edamame or wine last night, just a teriyaki thigh leftover.
I don't really like breakfast (except when I exercise, then I am famished!) and today we have our work Christmas lunch at a nearby restaurant. The restaurant is rather upscale, but the food is ......meh.....boring
Wish they would pick a different one.
Think I will have Bruschetta, salmon and seasonal veggies.
I'm attempting to loose a few lb's due to medz by limiting carbs - but its sooo hard, love my carbies :-)

Greyduster Tue 18-Dec-18 18:04:33

Toast and honey, a huge puff pastry confection full of cream and jam (courtesy of DH!), which was a bridge too far for me ?; and lasagne, using up bolognese sauce from this morning’s freezer clear out, with salad.

MiniMoon Tue 18-Dec-18 18:34:18

Since posting earlier I've had;
Fillet steak
Mustard mash
Carrots, peas and boiled onions
Mushroom gravy.

Mince pie. Cup of tea

Slice of pizza and two small breaded chicken fillets.
The latter to use up what's left in the freezer before the Christmas shop.

Maggiemaybe Tue 18-Dec-18 20:26:50

Shredded wheat.
Xmas cake and millionaire’s shortcake at playgroup party.
Corned beef salad sandwich from deli.
Garlic mushrooms and lobster ravioli at works reunion.
Half a bottle of red wine so far, and I’m now off to our local pub quiz.
Oh dear. tchsmile

Nothing so far except for a cup of tea.

Going out at 2pm for Afternoon Tea at a local country mansion.

harrigran Wed 19-Dec-18 11:37:07

Absolutely nothing today except for a few sips of water. I was awake all night with horrendous chest and stomach pains, I was sick and the pain eased. I am now going to try a cup of tea.

travelsafar Wed 19-Dec-18 14:01:01

Breakfast was a satsuma, three walnuts and 2 dried prunes and cup of tea and coffee.

Just had my usual lunch of celery sticks and apple with tablespoon of natural peanut butter on the side.

Tonight i'm having grains, greens and beans with plain chicken.
