Hope you've had a good week.
I've been really busy - even had to work on Friday - and so my dieting journey has had it's fair share of ups & downs this week.
In fact more ups that downs but the downs were unavoidable as they all involved food provided for me.
Three times this week I've been at work 'things' lunch was provided and the veggie option was either sandwiches or fried. I have really controlled what I eat - so no more that 4 triangles, no crisps, plenty of water/coffee and fruit if it was there. It does go to show I can do it but with the fore-knowledge of my fat holding menopausal body I may be heading for a 'stay the same' week.
Although this will be disappointing - on the other hand I've been pleased to note that my personal control levels are improving and this is a big relief.
Also when I've been in control I've eaten lots of fruit - lovely at the moment - & salads (also lovely and loads of variety). I've ensured that I measured everything that needed to be and, most importantly tried really hard to make everything on my plate look lovely (see below)
I've come to the conclusion that taking more time over what's on the plate & how it looks - or even just taking the time to put it on a plate!! - makes a huge difference to how I eat it and taste it.
In truth if I grab something from the fridge it's 'down the hatch' and forgotten in milliseconds, doesn't fill me up &I'm soon enough on to the next thing. Whereas if I arrange it on a plate, think about what I WANT to eat rather than shoving something in as quickly as possible I feel fuller longer.
Wouldn't it be lovely if I remembered these nuggets of info all the time???????
Anyway, I've bought some new clothes this week in sales because I can't wait until my holiday. In truth most of what's come so far is a bit on the tight side but it will loosen - it'll have too.
So now for some clearing up and a bit of telly!!
Love to all
Lisa xx
