Feel okay about a bit of a blow out!

[Edge1234]

Morning All,

Hope everyone is feeling well this morning.

I have been really good for the last month or so and kept a diary of everything I eat consistently each day (amazed and how frequently I eat hummus!) I am not weighing myself very regularly as I sometimes feel slimmer than the scales say and this can get me down so the plan is to weigh myself perhaps three weekly but feel the difference as I go in my clothes and general energy levels. Hence, not doing a weekly weigh in here!

Anyway, last night I had a really well controlled blow out. In that a friend had popped by with a home baked chocolate cake (how could I say no? It would have been impolite!) anyway I had a slice. In the past I know exactly what I would have said to myself - ‘well, I have blown it for today now, I might as well finish off the cake, so it’s not a temptation for tomorrow and start afresh in the morning!’ (Am I alone in this thinking I wonder?). Anyway, I didn’t do this, despite the cake calling me from the kitchen all evening. I decided to have a glass of wine and a packet of low fat crisps, after my evening meal as a sort of compensation for the not eating the cake and also to stop me thinking about the cake.

This is the first time I have had an evening snack after my main meal in over three weeks!

The glass of wine and the crisps were my controlled blow out. Not great for me but much much better than huge slabs of chocolate cake. So I am calling this a huge success for me.

The chocolate cake is there this morning but it’s not as tempting as it was yesterday and as I have three young adult sons in the house today it won’t be there for long!

Plus rather than waking up feeling rubbish and bloated, I woke, went for a run and was ready for my smoothie breakfast this morning.

Believe me this is a huge sea change for me. If I can change my mindset on this kinda stuff anyone can!

Take care all and be kind to yourselves xx
