.......do I look at Pinterest and all these lovely foody things are there? I seem to be pulled towards the most calorific scrumptious ones.
But don't they look amazing? My food plan with SW doesn't include such delicacies.
But I can salivate just looking at them and almost smell them!
At one of our 'Bring a Taster' sessions, in SW when we lived in Suffolk, one member brought stuffed spinach leaves. They were absolutely unbelievably delicious.. and I had several, they were quite small. But why were they so gorgeous? They were not quite SW friendly, and had a high quota of olive oil mixed in with the filling as well as the cheese. So wonder they were so tasty. (She was a very new member.)
So why oh why, do I look at forbidden foods? I have struggled this week to keep to the plan, but I'll keep going. It is for my own health benefits!
It isn't easy is it? If you've every tried to lose weight, but love food you'll know what I mean.

So tempting! I can never restrict myself to 'just one' - it's all or nothing, so I can sympathise with you.
I try to allow a bit of oil now and again and I think I'm going to continue this in a measured way - the flavour is so much better.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. This cold weather isn't helping either.

I probably shouldn't mention the wonderful Waitrose Cookery School then (see my blog) although the lesson in jointing a chicken is probably helpful for preparing SW recipes.
My Auntie went to SW. I remember 3 things she told me
1- she had "half a sin" spare (my OH, the Rev, told her it was a sin or it wasn't. You couldn't have half)
2-She said it was run by the local curates wife - and he did the registration when they arrived, Auntie told him "my niece is married to a clergyman, he's far too busy to do this sort of thing".
3-Then they had an end of year party and everyone had to contribute a plate of food. She asked me for an idea - I suggested celery sticks filled with cottage cheese and sprinkled with chopped herbs or paprika. She didn't like that idea, and said she was going to bake a chocolate cake!
I admire anyone us disciplined and loses weight, and applaud all supportive spouses
❤️👍😊
It is too bad we have to make so many of anything it makes them hard to resist.
Oil, especially olive oil, is probably better than butter. I usually rationalize using it by saying it keeps my joints lubricated!
They do look delicious!
