Is in a great mood today lost 1lb for starters, then had the school run and its a lovely day outside, drank tons of waters yesterday and continuing today.
I went in to local supermarket and thought i'd treat myself to a caramel and a 5 pack was on offer cheap so i thought ok i can deal with that, i looked at the calorie content and it was 185 calories per bar (6 small chunks) and without looking any further at the nutritional values (obviously bad) i put the back on the shelf while mumbling "Nope dont need that thankyou lol".
2 months ago i could of sat and ate the whole 6 bars in one sitting! So proud of myself


Plus evenings are hard and i tend to fall off the wagon a bit but as i'm drinking water constantly i did not have one snack last night at all!

That is so awesome. Thats one of the most important parts of adopting a new healthy lifestyle retraining our thinking and knowing our limits. You are doing well.

Way to go! I had a similar experience at a restaurant where I had looked up the burrito I used to get and found that it was over 1300 calories, I thought I could order it and just eat half. Well, I talked myself out of that and got something different which was only 800 calories on it's own...then I only ate half of that. Totally satisified and totally proud of myself for making the better choice!

Just around the corner from my house is a small, but very steep hill that I have to walk up each night on my way home from the tube station, this hill comes after a two and a half mile trek, following a full days work. At the bottom of the hill is a bus stop - last night a bus pulled up at the bus stop just as I was passing and opened it doors invitingly, ...I had about 5 seconds to decide whether or not to hop on the bus or walk the hill... I walked!!

So I know just how you felt when you put those caramel bars back on the shelf - probably just as I felt watching that bus pull away up that bloody horrible hill without me!! Well done!

I love hearing of little victories over temptation )

I hear you too lol i push a little lump in the buggy every day and i used to get a bus home after dropping my girl at school. Now i walk the half hour walk 4 times a day and the buses still pass me and some drivers recognise me and wait so i have to walk past saying "thanks but walking today " No doubt when i actually do need a bus they will not wait lol. Plus saving a bomb on bus fares
