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!

I ended up having quite a good day - for me.

Eggs, tomatoes, avocado, coffee

Roast chicken lunch, including celeriac dauphinoise, roasted peppers & aubergines, etc. Various cheeses & biscuits (not too much!), wine

Cheese & biscuits again, wine

Let's see what the coming week brings grin

Left-over mashed potato to make potato cakes for lunch today,with added grated cheese. A couple of fish cakes thrown in and a side salad.

5:2 fast day for me today. So far I've had half a slice of wholemeal toast with butter, 3 plums, and an edamame and petit pois salad. Later I'll have my share of the lentil and hidden veg sauce DD2 has made for tea for us and her boys, but only six or so of the pasta penne that go with it. Roll on tomorrow. smile

Shame The Pineapple has closed. Seems to be the fate of a great many pubs now. Remembered it instantly as soon as I saw photos. I have been in there.

Tuna and cucumber sandwich on wholegrain mug of coffee.

Home made cheese scone with butter. Not very healthy but there was one left and I don't like waste. Cheese salad roll, mini mars bar, fruit and yoghurt, will have leftover beef casserole for tea.

EllanVannin once again you have hit the spot for me, I love fish cakes and the potato cakes sound good too.
We are having liver and bacon tonight.

ninathenana Mon 26-Nov-18 16:01:01

Interesting reading. I see several of you eat cake, biscuits, chocolate, ice cream etc. plus one or more glasses of wine.
I have none of this but am still plus size.
You lucky people smile

Since I decided to stop dieting about 20 years ago, I have no appetite as nothing is forbidden. Blame Paul McKenna who has a stop dieting tape. I eat anything I fancy and maintain the same weight, over Christmas and holidays, simply because nothing is forbidden so nothing becomes really desirable. It may all be in the mind.

oldbatty Mon 26-Nov-18 16:37:45

What is you desire cake 24/7?

TerriBull Mon 26-Nov-18 16:40:59

2 coffees, Porridge with sliced banana
1 small apple, sandwich on wholemeal, consisting of ham, rocket, cucumber, red onion, another banana, cup of tea.
I've made a fish pie for supper, consisting of small piece of cod, small piece of smoked haddock, small piece of salmon, florets of broccoli all covered with a cheese and chive sauce, I prefer sliced potatoes to mash for the topping like Dauphinoise . So half of that and I hope that's me done for the day.

DoraMarr. .. what are the 2 eggs ‘that go off at midnight’? Are you on egg watch with a searchlight?

teifi Mon 26-Nov-18 21:18:15

That's quite a good day for me, GabriellaG .. at least I had plenty of veg in the stir fry .. Today I've had usual toast n marmalade n coffee mid-morning, Belgian bun and cup of tea early afternoon, large packet of Haribo-type sweets when collecting the GCs (I don't often eat sweets) and more tea n biscuits just before 6pm. Will try to do better tomorrow, honest!
