Yesterday's dinner went well, I did eat more than expected but not by more than 200 cals I think, so I maybe breached 1400, but it was worth it.
This is TMI for those with a sensitive disposition - but I've had a bit of diarrhoea for the first time literally in years today. I woke up, weighed self, was 128.8, so I was relatively pleased. After drinking water and eating some porridge, I had a little toilet trauma (so didn't go to the gym), then weighed self again just to see what had happened (yes, the whole "don't weigh self for a week!" thing completely broke) and I was 127.6! Would love to see that on Sunday morning, but I guess I'm pretty much empty right now.
Next week, my plan is to eat edamame beans, strawberries, lettuce and a bit of steamed fish as much as possible - this is what Victoria Beckham ate apparently!! However, several social events, including another friend coming over for dinner... which I guess makes eating like that the rest of the time more important!!
Just keeping my fingers crossed for Sunday morning.
Rest of today - I'm meeting a friend for gf muffins from Covent Garden, but if I can make that as lunch (4pm... probably not doable) should be ok. Will bank on that being 350. Today I've had porridge - 130. Also, need to make a bit of a risotto for a picnic for ce soir, that with vegetables should be another 250, add an apple and hopefully some more veggies. That'd be a good day I think... 800 if I could manage it. Probably not. Given I'm somewhat hungry now and have yet to make the risotto.
Question - when you go out to dinner with friends, how do you make it so that they realise you're a super-healthy person but that you don't scare them with how little you manage? Also, I find it hard to overcome my "don't waste food!" mentality, so although I'm getting better in restaurants and things, I still find it hard when at home to not eat everything on my plate.

yay for the weight loss! though i'm sorry you had to be ill :( and thank you so much for the recipe, i'll see if i have time to make it.
as for going out with friends, usually i won't eat the rest of the day (or before going out) so i can eat a relatively normal amount. or i suppose you could resort to the tricks (hiding food in napkins, playing with the food, saying you don't like it, etc) but those can seem kind of petty and immature if you're not totally into it AND you dislike wasting food.
good luck :)
Haha I'm having the exact OPPOSITE problem, if you know what I mean. However, I find that yogourt tends to fix any digestive issues. Try that?
Also, since I'm new on your blog, I don't know your eating habits, but as for the friends thing, maybe try being vegetarian? That way, you can order all the salads/veggie broths/etc you want and they won't have anything to say. :)
Stay strong!
