Yep me too wave I enjoy it and it seems to work for me, you get in tune with your body and know what it needs, and when conversing

I eat a fair bit of jelly too laugh It's good with some yoghurt and fruit grin

Yeah, a bit of sweet something conversing

A lot of people think you sit down to a plate of steamed veggies every night when they find out you're a veggie laugh

Nothing could be further from the truth, but it does take a little more effort to keep it varied and interesting, don't you think? nerd

I do get take away now and then, but I get sick of it fairly quick. You can't beat a home cooked meal. Slow cookers have helped me lots when I have later shifts at work and the kids can help themselves to a hot meal after school.
I have grown up on meat and three veg and always go back to it, as its a wholesome family meal. I also think it used to be the regular thing fir us Aussies to eat. We have so many varietys of different foods from around the world now. I do like Indian meals especially Dhal very happy

I have to admit that if there is something as far from vegetarian as you can get. Carnivore perhaps.. I love a good steak or ribs and theres nothing that cant be improved by the addition of bacon.

Not to say that I dont enjoy my veggies too but I have to say its rare that I have a dinner without some sort of meat.

When I was obese, I ate double 1/4 pounders with a mcflurry large fries and large coke every day for lunch.
I eat a sandwich with salad every day now and am 30kg lighter.
I eat takeaway hardly ever now and if so it;s subway or a sandwich from a bakery

Id be guilty of this being a non custodial parent. We would visit Golden Arches etc then go to a park.
But in saying that i also taught daughter how to cook in the bush, using a few veges, flour cornflour etc and what was available to use in a camp oven, or at home in a croc pot.

I admit, I have been very bad since my boys have been home uh oh

Normally eat quite healthy but lately a few too many takeways as they always want meals everynight and if I am not hungry I will just eat something light.

So really at moment, a mixture of good & bad foods but balanced out laugh

Yeah, my kids usually ask for mcCraps for the toy.
I notice in some place, maccas can only sell a happy meal with a toy if the meal is healthy.
They still sell the non-healthy stuff, it's just in reverse where the kids get the reward for choosing the healthy apple slices instead of the fries etc...
