What are ye eatin' and drinkin' - The Eatening

Rubberlegs

Hang in there northgirl. I can get where you are coming from as if I am upset or anxious it goes straight to my belly, whatever I can eat goes down in lumps. I find yoghurt is a God send at these times

We may think everything is hunky dory for everyone else posting or in real life , but often times the brightest smiles hide the saddest/broken souls .

In keeping with the thread before anyone complains - cheese sandwich .

I'm the same. I put on weight from illness and have to restrict what I eat so I understand NG and where she's coming from. Hopefully this will be a good year for everyone.

Two reasons why I love this place and all you guys. The honesty. The reality. I know I've had some pints, but I do mean it.

I was much worse 12 months ago. It's taken nearly 30 years to realise the root of all this and I lived for many years unscathed but dying inside. Then it all started to fall apart on the inside and outside.

Trust me, I know no-one escapes.

I lost myself and wanted to disappear. I wasn't even trying to keep up appearances it got so bad. Now I'm trying to re-build but it is not easy.

I think when you go through things it makes you stronger and gives you greater empathy for others. I'm far less judgemental than I used to be.

I still have a long way to go but it can't all happen together.

Words of encouragement and friends like you help enormously.

And yes, there's still plenty of BOLDNESS there so I have retained my sense of humour as I'm frequently reminded :pac:

Sorry off topic and only drinking water now so.. Tomorrow for this thread!

This is true. I have some yoghurt and it can cover me for breakfast and lunch until dinner time. It lines my tummy and stops the hunger pangs. I always have it in the fridge now, a couple of flavours of it. Mixed with some fruit if feeling adventurous.

I am so sorry.:D Chicken curry, fried rice and chips with a skinny coke in 15 mins.

Grandeeod

Not going anywhere near the car tomorrow, so its beer o'clock without having to keep an eye on it. Police everywhere today. I did my breath test at 7.30am this morning and all was good. Just made Little G a steak burger and chips. There's one made for Mrs G, but not certain she'll bother. In bed sick. Did I mention that the babysitter has been cancelled?:D

What kind of takeaway?

Having a cuppa soup, pondering whether to cook or order in. Last real day of the holidays and I'd murder a curry... I think it's only going one way

Has to be dirty on new years day. Go for taco chips and a kebab.

Harleen Quinzel

OH is a bit of a weirdo and doesn’t like pizza :eek:
I’m a different kind of weirdo who likes pineapple on my pizza
I think it’s either chicken kebab or Chinese... decisions decisions

Chicken Kebab AND Taco Fries , if in doubt get both !

igCorcaigh

Would love a takeaway, but poor as chips, without the chips.

Having my last bottle of beer, I have frozen veg to make a stir fry, soba noodles too.

igCorcaigh

Changed my mind and reheated my lentil and tomato soup, with added fish sauce and fenugreek leaves LOL! welcome to my food world.

And for the main course, a toasted flatbread with sardines, cheddar and rose harissa.



Both courses were actually super tasty

Those Dunnes Stores Lebanese flatbreads are great, light and bubbly, nice small size too.
