Looks like i am eating a lot of Brie, the only easy munchy in the fridge, will have to think about that.
Yes, there are a lot of noodles in my diet, I hope that is a good thing. I am trying to cut out bread products as my main carb. Noodles and potatos are replacing, though i have now finished that bag of spuds. Don't normally buy reds but have enjoyed them and they haven't sprouted as quickly as whites normally do.
Would type more but i am involved in a long winded and irritating internet 'chat' with my mobile phone providers. Wishing I hadn't had so much coffee today. Grrr.
Have fun people and whatever you are eating today, remember to appreciate it.

Good morning world it's a brand new day.
The point of this thread is to see if i am really eating and drinking as little and as healthily as i think i am.
So i hope to put put down my daily consumption as honestly and unforgetfully as i can :-)
This is to show me what i really ingest as compared to what i imagine i do, because surprisingly for a vegetarian i am considerably overweight, needing to lose a good 3 stone.
Which i can't seem to shift.
I blame that on many things but not my eating or exercising :-).
Exercising is mostly confined to walking the dog
This is Tich, showing her support.
So this is what i ate and drank on 24/06/12, the day England crashed out of the footy. That is my excuse for the glaring break in diet, nipping to the shop for more cider at half time.
Breakfast
1 Medium banana
2 Large mugs of strong coffee with skimmed milk
Lunch
1 Medium banana
350g 2% fat live natural yoghurt
1 Glass of red wine (Chilean Merlot)
Afternoon
1 Large mug of strong coffee with skimmed milk
1 Pint of cider
Dinner
Mushroom stir fry :-
4 dsps Sunflower oil
170g Mushrooms
130g Co-op fresh egg noodles (cooked egg
noodles 98% [wheat flour, water,
pasteurised egg {free range}, salt,
raising agent {sodium hydrogen
carbonate}, preservative {potassium
carbonate}, citric acid, colour {beta-
carotene}]. Rapeseed oil 2%)
28g Brie cheese
Pinch Medium curry powder
Turmeric
Cumin
Salt
So far so good, now i blame the footy.
Supper
3 Pints of cider
80g Milk chocolate hazelnut (sugar, cocoa butter,
dried whole milk, cocoa mass, chopped
hazelnuts[10%], whey powder [from milk],
lactose [from milk], dried cream, emulsifier
[soya lecithins], vanilla extract.)

Tich did offer her support when she saw me succumbing to dangerous cravings, which is why i only ate 80% of the offending foods ho ho.
Well this has been cathartic for me, though i don't know how much interest it holds for others.
I do hope it will be revelatory and guilt me into shifting this weight. I hope guilt at bingeing doesn't stop me keeping this up to date.
If you have got this far, then thank you for your company, if you want to follow this journey, comment, keep on my back so i don't give up, or anything else, i will be keeping these posts under the 'My vegetarian diet plan' thread.
I am keeping a note of consumption in a notebook (clue is in the name) and intend to update every or a least most days.
Recipes and other stuff will be under different threads.
Happy Eating Everyone
love from Pa
