Been to the gym

Feeling good about getting back to exercise... doing less well with chocolate cravings but will try again tomorrow. Hope you've all had a positive day

Focus on the day-to-day, chiefly, the maintenance of a calorie defict, the reduction of refined carbohydrate and increased uptake of activity/exercise and you'll soon reap the rewards.

If not having chocolate makes you feel really deprived, build in a choc treat within your calorie allowance. A little 100-200 cal treat each day worked for me. Everyone has to decide what works for him or her. Just don't have it in addition to your calorie allowance. Good luck.

I have a bar of dar chocolate in my desk drawer and have 2 squares per day.

[Ariele-6 in reply to MummyPhus]

That's a good idea... will try that! 😊

Wow. What wonderful control you must have. Well done.

I have a friend who can eat just 2 biscuits from a packet and then walk away.

You are both real examples that are beyond my willpower. Lol😀.

I stear clear because I know how weak I am. Good for you.

[Ariele-6 in reply to wa2un7]

Thanks, I'll try that!

Hello Ariele-6 ☺

Well done on the exercise, it helps me as I don't want to undo all my hard work!

I find eating more, a bit earlier in the day really helps my sweet craving ☺ It seems to keep my blood sugar level.

Good Luck ☺

Yes I think that might help. I'm usually a porridge + berries fan, but have gone out of routine over Xmas hols 😓
