Day Nine- Snack Shopping!

I know that in an ideal world that I probably shouldn't be even contemplating naughty snacks.  People say things like, 'if you're craving something sweet, have a piece of fruit'. 
Quite clearly these people have never had raging hormones that make you want to devour all things bad in under an hour.

I have decided that I'm not going to deprive myself of these things, as basically I will become unbearable and I suffer with my pmt bad enough as it is, yes, I know in the long run cutting it out would probably make me crave it less, but this is real life and I need cake! 

So today I had to go and buy the guinea pigs more food, I should add here, I'm not sooo desperate that I've turned to eating guinea pig food. -bleurgh. But on the way back I thought I'd nip and see if I could get some green beans. Can't say I'm a fan of green beans, but I've been looking back at my diet and apart from salad, I don't seem to be eating many veg since peas and sweetcorn are off the menu.

I got the green beans and a few other veg, then had a little look at the 'free from' section. Same usual stuff, so bought some hideously priced g/f digestives and some g/f biscuit breaks, which are wrapped packs of 4 biscuits, so I thought they might be good to take out in my bag as emergency munchies If I'm out. They do have raisins in them,  but I'm assuming that's ok as you can have a small amount anyway and these will be very scarce I imagine. 

I then nipped to a local shop as one of the lads that work in there kindly text me the other week with a photo of a shelf full of a new range of g/f goodies. I felt awful saying....I'm also now lactose free amongst other things. So I popped him to see him today and see what they had that could be suitable. Most of the things were mixes to make cookies, or bread etc, which I can do myself anyway. But then I saw their own brand, custard creams, bourbons and Oreos. Nom, nom, nom.

With baited breath I turned over the box to read the ingredients and whoo hoo milk free too! 
So I treated myself to a box of Oreo type biscuits. I'm pleased to report that they are divine!
They are made by 'love more' and called 'O choco'.....here they are! It was awful putting these back in the box after taking a photo! 

So, today's food so far... 
Breakfast:
Porridge WITH A BANANA..whoo hoo, check me living wildly! ;) sprinkled with linseed, l/f milk and a mug of r/b tea.

Mid Morning:
No surprises for guessing, r/b tea and an 'o'choco'. I also had 4 small chunks of melon. My husband bought a little tub of melon chunks for me the other day, some of them were watermelon chunks, so I left those, but I'm now wondering as they've been sat mixed and juices of them will have mixed, whether I should have had the other melon at all? I'll have to check on that one.

Now to finish my cuppa and get some boring housework done (yawn).

Lunch:
Really wasn't hungry, but after missing meals yesterday I thought I'd better get back on track. So had just a cheese roll.

Mid Afternoon:
r/b tea 'o'choco' biscuit

Dinner:
The rest of the fodmap friendly meatballs I made, I'd frozen, so I had those with rice, carrots and green beans.

Lactose free raspberry yogurt.
Tea.
