I've not been about for a while! Sorry!
Having spent the last few months trying the Atkins diet and being fairly successful with the weight loss - I decided on something.
I had noticed that I was eating hardly any meat. I decided it was time for me to become a vegetarian! I was finding that I could balance the Atkins with my new veggie diet. It's a personal choice for various reasons and I'm not going to share them here as they are private. My husband says I was a veggie waiting to happen! Hehe ;-)
I'm still getting used to it! Thank goodness for my knowledge of reading labels!
I somehow managed to start eating loads of carbs again, hehe I blame the stress in my life. But I guess I had that choice not to!
Having been a sweetie fiend and since becoming a veggie I've given up eating sweets, as most of the ones I like have gelatine in them. Just the odd biccy. And I've noticed that I've not put on any weight for two weeks - and I've been over eating! Yikes. I must stop this pigging out on crisps and chips!
To my annoyance I found out that my beloved Lactase Enzyme has gelatine in it. So I've been looking into alternatives. Once I find one suitable, I'll probably post about it! I ate out today without using it for the first time and I was okay. I only had chips so I was probably fairly safe?
I will try to post here, don't worry I've not abandoned this blog! Not that anyone ever reads it apart from the spam bots! :-p
