Day 34 - Finding a suitable lunch whilst out...

Today we (hubby and kids) went to a large shopping mall to try and find some jeans for my eldest son who will insist on growing out of old ones...how very inconsiderate of him ;)

We decided to get some lunch there. They have a massive food place in there, the kids usually opt for a pizza or McDs, in my 'pre FODMAP life', I would have either had a meal deal from boots, It was always one of two versions,  consisting of wither a BBQ chicken wrap or sushi, a pot of fruit or veggie crisps and a drink of some kind....or if I was feeling naughty I'd opt for a McD.

Today however I had to look further afield. I know the boots veggie sushi is ok, as I've cheked before and its never upset me anyway. But I really fancied something warm. I decided to get a jacket potato instead. I've eaten in the shopping mall before whilst I was just gluten free and that was tricky enough, but now adding in all the other things I should avoid was a bit daunting.

I really fancied tuna mayo on the potato, but was dubious of the mayo, I'm guessing it's a no, no. I should check it out. I know I can have my fav salad cream, but again when out, Id be dubious of the salad cream unless I knew exactly what type it was, which you usually don't.

Anyway, I finally opted for cheese. I asked for a 'little bit of cheese please' and was presented with a paper bowl full of grated cheese, with a potato hiding underneath it all somewhere. I'm so glad I didn't ask for lots of it, I think I'd have needed a wheelbarrow!

The cheese had a somewhat odd texture to it and had a kind of floury feel to it. I'm guessing it was pre packaged grated cheese. I will have to look into that to see if that usually contains some kind of flour :-/ It's too late for today obviously, but I don't appear to have had any ill effects from it today.

So todays food intake goes like this...
Breakfast:
The usual porridge, l/f milk
Redbush tea

Mid Morning:
Nothing

Lunch:
Jacket potato and cheeeeeeeese - lots of it :-/ 

Bottle of water
We came home after we had eaten, mainly because I am still in the mentality of wanting to get home as soon as I've eaten out -'just incase', so we waited till we were all finished shopping for the jeans. I'm going to have to totally retrain my way of thinking now there is such a big improvement.
So once home I then had a blueberry muffin and a redbush

Mid Afternoon:
Another muffin...yes, I know, I know.... :-/
Redbush tea x2

Dinner:
Ham & salad Sandwich
hula hoops
L/f yougurt.
Redbush Tea.

Evening:
Banana
Redbush tea x 2

Mid afternoon I started with period pains, not too bad considering how I am most months, but I'm hoping now that it's here the cravings I've been having recently will now subside and my every waking moment won't be filled with thoughts of food.
