Lynn, I have a 15 year old so know what you mean. A bit hard this, I would of said make her a salad up but if she won't eat it thats no good. I then thought of pitta bread, which my daughter loves but it's still bread. Maybe tortilla wraps, think thats what they are called. I will give it some thought.

[Mrs-PRG7000]

Thanks Sally. Pitta might be an option, but like you said it is bread, but it might be better than regular bread, since it doesn't contain raising agents. I could make up some pasta as she loves pasta, I will run that one and the wrap past her later.... wonder if I'll get the 'uncool' look again

Better go and pick her up from school now bye

Well done everyone!!!!!!!!!! I have to admit at finding the diet on my own very difficult!!! I am joining my local Slimming World on Tuesday evening with my Sister in Law, I'm afraid I get very obsessed when I first start and am always ultra ultra good!!!

Wow that is brilliant Sally, congratulations.

BTW can anyone give me any suggestions, my 15 yr old daughter wants to try not eating bread. What else can I put in her lunch box instead of a sandwich. Bearing in mind she is the fussiest eater that I know, in that she won't try anything new, won't eat fruit or veg. We came up with maybe Ryvitas but they would end up soggy by lunch time, and then I suggested not buttering them but putting a plastic knife and small pot of butter in her lunch box to which I got shot a 'no mother thats uncool' kind of look [msnscared]

Any suggestions gratefully recieved

What about flat bread (no raising agents)? Can I ask why she wants to cut out bread? My fifteen y/o allows herself wholemeal bread for school lunches but avoids it the rest of the time - we try to use homemade fillings too so no additives etc[msnsmile2]

P.S I use freash baked bread from a bakery so no preservatives too!

Talking of childrens eating habits (most of which they form from the parents) I feel very passionate about children eating rubbish. So often you see children drinking coloured drinks full of chemicals and eating all proccessed meals full of c--p, it makes me so angry!

I am not suggesting that any of our OV children are fed badly but its hardwork to ensure children eat well there are so many hidden additives that unless you read all the ingredients you just don't realise. They cause so much bad behaviour and short attention span in children that teachers know which children eat well and have proper breakfasts and which don't! Things like Hydrogenised Vegatable Oil/ fat, Flavour enhancers E621 E635 etc too, much salt and sugar particularly in cereal - my dentist goes mad if he knows children are having cereal because so many of them have sugar as the 2nd most ingredient! How many children do you know whos tea normally consists of chicken nuggets chips and spaggetti hoops Yuk!!!! What's wrong with freshly cooked chicken real potatoes and some fresh veg, with a glass of fresh juice ( not coke or the similar) like tropicana (not concentrate) or a glass of mineral water, with a nice bowl of fruit (my kids love it if I chop up bananas grapes satsumas melon and fresh pinapple for them to pick at for pud) or a fruit smoothie - it takes a few minutes more, fruit and yogurt in a blender, but hey the heath benefits are huge!

Don't get me wrong Im not a saint and I do think if 95% of the time they and we eat well there is room for goodies but why do people insist on bringing children up on rubbish, if we want them all to be slim fit and healthy as adults we have to start when they are young then it becomes a way of life and they wont be here in 20 years time trying to lose the flab! Wish my Mum had done it for me (Ah bless her!)

Anyway thats me off my soapbox!!![msnembarrased]

I agree with you Lucy!!..

....I have a very active 3 year old and changed his diet due to "E" numbers found in many foods!!
He was so hyper whenever he's had this rubbish that he was really hard to look after!![msneek]

He's still is "full of it" but nowhere like what he was like before.

I still have days, like when he's been to a friends party,that after the food he's eaten I suffer the day after[msncry][msncry]

Well done girls to the weight loss!!! Think of those bikinis[msncool][msncool]

My weigh in, is Friday[msneek][msnscared][msnscared]
