Felt like binging today....

[Ruby8]

I've been really busy and feeling shattered today. It's the 'weakest' I've been since I started a few weeks ago, in terms of wanting to stuff myself on cake, . However, I had been to the supermarket and was too tired too go out again looking for treats, AND this time I want to stay the distance and do the right thing by myself.. SO, I did allow myself to binge in a way, on a big plate of my fave Caprese salad: One avocado, be good to yourself reduced fat mozzarella, (the whole ball) sliced tomatoes and baby leaf spinach, also a generous chunk of baguette. I didn't weigh or measure, I had a good feed and I blooming well enjoyed it!! I finished up with my other fave fromage frais mixed with natural yoghurt. Even if it was a bit fatty, it was still better than a whole red velvet cake from tescos for my tea!!

Hi Ruby, Well done you, for not giving in and going to get a "Red Velvet Cake" Sounds like you had a lovely tea, and even with your chunk of baguette I'm sure you haven't done much damage. I'm glad you enjoyed it & congratulations on your willpower. xxx

Hi Ruby8,

Your Caprese Salad sounds very tasty. I really like Avocado, and all those ingredients you mentioned. Yum!

Hope you're enjoying your week.

Well done, i know how challenging it is to resist a binge when your tired! ☺ Thats a great idea to let yourself have a slightly richer but still healthy meal instead. Caprsese salad sounds yummy i love avos and mozzarella.

Wtg you, Ruby! If you're going to binge, then that's the way to do it!

Keep up the great work, you're doing brilliantly!

Thanks guys. I feel that I am entering the 'testing' time now, back to work and school routine (for my daughter) the tiredness creeps in, and the desire to pig out on the wrong stuff! But I want to be slimmer and healthier more than I want cake!! Having this forum in the background really helps, I can'talk' to you in my head even if I am not online! (Hope that's not too bonkers!!) xx

Now that is what I call "taking control" to curb those cravings in a sensible way. You are in it for the long haul! Well done...
