oh, exactly Pam ! you know me so well

And weight watchers

are you finding it a challenge at the moment? that call of the savoury? It varied for me depending on my step. I hasn't had wheat for many a year before starting RR, but I was on willpower about it till step three I think. A pivotal step for me. Some of the things that are RR friendly, like wholewheat pasta, were as sugar to me so that was a bit of a challenge till I found 101 alternatives. And discovered the versatility of sweet potato, potato and many types of bean

its always been the savoury things that have bothered me most. I'm no good with those substitute recipes either, 'pretend' bready stuff weird things masquerading as bread or pasta. Its the texture enough to set me off in a very dissatisfied way !

so I have developed other loves and traditions instead and I can honestly say I don't miss those old things. There are times .... say when I'm travelling and steps are a little off or I'm very tired.............. and I realise I would knock people out of the way or rugby-tackle them to get at a loaf of bread - well I just smile and bless it and be glad that I know, and the experiences I have had. I know its transient and how to steady it

I am having great fun planning a picnic at the moment. DH has requested pasta salad. Kids want ww French bread cobs. I won't bat an eyelid. My picnic box will include roasted red peppers, cold sausage chunks, green and black olives, walnuts, crudites and hummus amongst other things, all my favourites

Life is good
