Back on track....

Day two of being back on track.

Yesterday went really well and I didn't snack or feel as hungry as I thought I would, which is good news. But I have to admit that I was really hungry quite early last night which meant that I snacked on some crisps once I was home and then I realised what I was doing so I cooked my dinner straight away and enjoyed every mouthful.

However, because I'm so use to have some sort of chocolate snack afterwards or heating up one of those little puddings, I was searching the house for a sweet food. I resisted the chocolate puddings in the fridge (flatmate can have them) and I didn't even think about the chocolate stash that I have in my room, but I decided to have some of the icing that was on a christmas cake....I don't like fruit cake you see, so I won't eat that.....just the white icing on top. And because that it so sweet I was feeling sick afterwards and didn't want anything else but water to wash away the sweetness.

I do have to admit something to you and to myself. Even though I had very good intentions to point over the Christmas and New Year period, something just went click in my mind and I started having chocolate snacks at work or eating fatty foods that I have been avoiding since starting WW and over Christmas I just ate whatever I wanted and in the quantity I wanted.

However the minute I returned to work on Monday 29th December, I went back to normal - eating wise and pointing in my diary, however I still wasn't exercising as I was recoving from a cold.

But again that all changed come NYE when I started snacking again on crisps and chocolate and then again I ate whatever I wanted on the few days following which stopped on Sunday night with toasted cheese sandwiches.....yum!

In all honestly, it's felt like I've been on a holiday from WW and I have throughly enjoyed every last minuted of that holiday which means that I'm now happily back on WW and don't feel like I've missed out on anything.......by the way, I already realise that I'm justifying my actions and hopefully next year I won't make the same mistake and will be honest with myself and my feelings of temptation and deprivation.

Hi Tess! Saw you stopped by my blog so I came over to check in! I know how easy it is to take those "holidays" from eating well and how tough it can be to get back on track...the cool thing is that you CAN and WILL be strong! Stop by from time to time and I'll check on you too! You should add the "followers" widget to your blog so you can gather a following and we can see when you post! (I can be bossy!!). Dani! ;o) PS: Also, the whole weighing in stones seems soooo foreign to me (pun intended!)
