Sent you a message, Jackiee

Hi, Jackiee! I made that Tomato Broccoli Cheesy Potato Bake. I saved it in the fridge. It tasted very nice when reheated.

Thanks Bev, its soooo good to see you on here again. The guy did mean what he said, but I have put it behind me now and really I should be used to it by now. Just sometimes I find it difficult to take the blunt (bordering on darn right rude) talking here.

A few questions if anyone can help. Has anyone very tried freezing the Tomato Broccoli Cheesy Potato Bake and how was it? and would it be ok to swap one flavour of muffin for another on the menu? so that I don’t need to make to many different flavours in one week.

Thanks for the support Chia and Apensa. Luckily it didn’t get to me for long…yip he was Italian and speaking Italian (yeah I should know by now). Although the other mum did get on at him when I was walking away so that’s something. Today I had a happy day with my hubby and daughter down the beach after church, more importantly we all had a healthy picnic and the I had great satisfaction knowing that I didn’t binge eat last night when I felt low 🙂 that a first for me. Sorry for letting of steam last night but when it comes to my weight I don’t like sharing these things with my hubby and friends here, because they think I should just laugh it off and I know I should, it just not that easy every single time. Right I’ll shut up now and go generate a new menu, happy healthy eating all. (thanks again for the words of support they mean a lot to me). Hope you all have a great healthy week.

JACKIEE — Don’t let that man’s words bother you. He was very rude and nasty. His words come from the devil. Don’t pay attention to any words from the devil’s mouth. Only be concerned with God’s words, which are always loving. Just kick the thought of that man out of your life! Go on with your life and NEVER let negative words make you depressed. Depression is from Satan!!!

Hi all hope your all well. I Know this isn’t a question but just want to share as feel down. I found out today my thyroid levels are out so have had my meds adjusted again. This made me happy since I haven’t been losing and had started to gain weight again, anyway felt positive and took my healthy picnic to the local park with my daughter. Then I went for a coffee when she played in the park. Got speaking to another mum I know, we talked about our kids ect I said Angelina’s talking better now so I get a good chat now. A man then sat beside the other mum and said to her ‘she should go to the gym and chat’. How rude….and to be honest I know I shouldn’t let it get to me… but it has and I have felt sad and quite depressed all day now……fingers crossed this time next year I won’t have this problem

Hi, I’m just brand new and really excited to be doing this. I have just sorted out my menu for the week and I see that there is a lot of “Organic” this and “grass-fed” that. Being on a budget I can’t afford to buy this all the time. I realize that these are the best for you but is normal foods and meats ok

Hi, MaryShuck, and welcome. Trimmings for foods are usually extra, unless they don’t have a significant amount of carbohydrates, fats, or proteins. Typical waffle and pancake toppings are generally worth the following: 1 tablespoon of syrup or jam/jelly is one carbohydrate exchange (equal to a slice of bread), and 1 teaspoon of butter is a fat exchange (like an oil). You can pick these out of the rest of your day gradually; for example, the carbohydrate exchange can be made up for by slightly reducing the portions of starches at the rest of the meals, a tablespoon of rice or potato here, a cracker there, etc.
