Chicken n chips

[Linda_Bee]

Really, really busy yesterday, cleaning cupboards, spring cleaning ,etc. Had one egg on one slice of toast with grilled tomatoes for breakfast then worked through until 6 pm. Absolutely knackered, but at 69 I suppose I'm entitled to be, so hubby went to the fish shop and came back with chicken and chips. Even when I wasn't dieting I rarely ate chips but I loved every mouthful of that meal. Have lost 22 lbs so far and although I should lose another stone I will be happy if I lose another 7lbs. Haven't a clue how many calories were in that chicken and chips but worked out that I must have had 600 calories during the rest of the day (can't remember how many cups of tea and coffee with milk I had so can't work it out exactly). Do I feel guilty - no. Have I gone back on my diet today - yes, which is a miracle in itself as usually that would be a signal to give up. One thing I did notice though was at one time I would have eaten the meal and then be picking at whatever was in the house but I was so stuffed I felt uncomfortable, so looks like my stomach is used to less food at last - yippee. Have a good week everyone.

Hi Linda_Bee,

Congratulations on losing 22 pounds in total so far, you're doing so well!!!! Really good!

Hope you're enjoying the weekend. I do hope you're feeling more comfortable today, as I know you said your tummy had felt stuffed after your meal.

Enjoy your week!

Do you bake your own sweet potato chips, Concerned? I'm considering baking some in the oven, but not done that before... So if you do know how to do it - please pass on the details!

Thanks for that Concerned, I do hope to try them - I like the idea of a pinch of chilli powder. Many thanks!
