Grumpy mood – need a fill …..

Is it just me or does a rainy Sunday give you a low mood? I need a fill but can’t have one till after 7th Sept (nothing to do with my band, but having a camera down for something – basically, I was prescribed a heavy painkiller a few years ago which burned my stomach lining so I have to have an annual camera check to see it is ok) so i had 50% of my fluid removed in advance. You forget just how much support your band gives you – I’m a lot hungrier than usual but am determined that although my portions have doubled (at least!!!)  I’m sticking to my usual foods – lots of protein ( I love fish and seafood – think I m half seal ) :):):)   plus rocket leaves, baby tomatoes …. i tend to follow the Dukan diet, tho not religiously – carbs give me awful water retention so i just swerve them for the most part and use Slim Noodles or Slim rice if i want a partner on the plate for a chilli or similar. Dukan has really brought home to me how much sugar there is in seemingly innocent foods. A big thing fr me a real foodie is using Quark as a base for dressings etc instead of mayo and the like. To the Quark i add mustard, or horseradish sauce, dill (mega with salmon) etc ….So I’m hanging in there, trying not to gain too much and not get depressed by a few pounds gain. Roll on 8th Sept when I ll be booking in for a fill :):) xx  It’s such a comfort to know tho, that even if you have a period of weight gain ( i always gain on my hols as i go completely nuts!!!!) once you get your fill back to where it needs to be, your weight loss will kick in again. Think i wrote this to reassure myself as much as anyone else 🙂 xx ok – steamed trout for tea with Quark n dill dip on the side :):)
