Lordy, lordy I thought I was stronger than this. I've had alot on my mind recently and what I've noticed straight away is that I am making food my crutch.
It's proof that so much of success or failure in terms of weight loss or weight maintenance relies on a strong mental attitude. When I'm not worried, stressed, overwhelmed, angry etc, I don't even look twice at a brownie. Last week, I not only had brownies but I had fish and chips for supper.
I've pretty much sorted out what was worrying me, so this should be a better week but it really has shown me the importance of not only dealing with problems as quickly as possible when they come along (not always possible I know) but also being especially aware of times such as this.
I made sure that I carried on working out - this not only helped to work off the brownies but was good for my state of mind.
I tried to keep as busy as possible, purposely leaving jobs to do when I knew I would be looking around for something delicious and naughty to snack on.
I got on my bike. Regular readers will know I've just bought a roadbike, and I got my clips fitted yesterday. I'm really enjoying cycling and it certainly blows out the cobwebs.
I decided not to give myself a hardtime. Usually I do this and makes the whole situation worse. This time, I took a deep breath and vowed to do better next time. This is not to say that there won't be a tougher line this week - there are no excuses now.
It's proof that I've still got a long way to go and will always battle with this. If anyone has any ideas - please let me know.
