Awhh, pants!

Confession time for peace of mind!

I gave in to hormonal urges and went crazy in the cupboard so I'm 500 cals over today. Not a huge deal as I am 600 cals under for the week but I wanted to use distraction therapy to work through it as these cravings happen every month with varying degrees of intensity.

One mistake does not a diet ruin!

So - you are under for the week and had 1 day over??

I would call that great!! - You don't have to just think of calorie counting per day. If you are counting and you have a heavier calorie day, balance it out over the week! (Which - you have done almost perfectly by the sounds!).

It's not a mistake by any means - it sounds like you are right on track :)

I'm more cross with myself that I didn't implement my 'self control' plan of action. Anyway, what's done is done :) and we carry on

Don't worry. If it makes you feel better I had a mega binge day today! Just a build up of stress this week and then only losing one pound despite all my hard work exercising and dieting this week so I decided to have a day off! Started with chocolate cake for breakfast and lunch. Then some chocolate bars (plural) and finished off with a chicken donner and chips takeaway!

Feel totally sick though!

I bet you will lose more if you get back on track sometimes the body needs a bit of a junk shock as long as it’s not everyday you will be fine

Can you blame hormones for everything?

Did you hear about The Quango?

Some boys in the government had an argument over the bar about hormones affecting lady drivers a few days of the month - so they set up a quango - and spent millions on research... using males as a control sample.

The report never got published - because it found that hormones affected male drivers most days of the month.

You will not find any trace of any such quango or report.

Absolutely, definitely not ruined! When I was having those kinds of issues (too old now!) I used to forget about losing four days before my period - just focused on trying to maintain or I would go crazy and eat a family bar of dairy milk...I found it really helped just to eat normally and it was a kind of practice for maintaining later.

I did resist so can be a little proud - feel less 'munchy' today and more in control, am wondering if tiredness was a factor too 'cos I was shattered yesterday.

Well done on resisting ! I think our bodies need more fuel when we're tired, hope you had a good nights rest last night !
