The afternoons.....

I start off well in the morning, protein shake check, mid morning snack check, lunch ready to take to work check check.

Then I get bored, or annoyed...today I fancied a snickers so 'I'll be good the rest of the day and i'll go get one' so I did....

.then got home 'screw it I've already failed when getting that snickers I'll have two grilled cheese and ham sandwiches, a chocolate twist pastry and a cream and jam doughnut....' erm WHAT THE HELL BRAIN!

Just the average daily mentality of me at the moment....Next it will be 'well I didnt do well on monday so I'll just sack in the rest of the week and start again next monday'....and the cycle goes on and on and on :(

    Pack your own snacks from home and don't bring any cash to spend in vending machines. I like the repetitive motion of eating so I pack things like nuts, berries, carrots, etc. If you portion it out and account for it, don't let it ruin your day. For example, I brought a serving of cheetos as a snack. It's been measured and accounted for and I'm not going to blow my evening over it.

    If you MUST have a snickers, get a snack sized one and keep it in your bag/lunch box/locker for "emergencies". That way, there's much less calorie damage and you'll feel a lot less like saying "hey f**k it" if you eat it.
