I admit, I ate loads today but I'm not going to beat myself up by going over points. I've kind of stopped doing that because it gets me no where. In fact, slip ups happen but it is happening less frequently (like when I used to binge on a daily basis before WWO). I just note it down truthfully here and move on - it's the healthiest way to go about it, I reckon. We are already being taught to be more careful about food; the nutritional values, the portion size, the healthier options, etc. However, there's a thin line between caring about what goes in you compared to being obsessed with food and having this unhealthy relationship that goes around a vicious circle. So I ate a Snickers bar - I wanted it, I had it, I pointed it, I don't regret it. I've not had a Snickers bar since joining WWO and hell, I think I deserved it with my afternoon coffee. Saying that, I ate it and didn't enjoy it 100%, more like 60%. It was SO stodgy and chocolate-y (d'uh, I know) and it just didn't really make me feel like it used to make me feel; when I used junk food as a vice. I guess this might mean that I'm in no rush to have another Snickers bar any time soon!
My boyfriend made us a wonderful dinner again (he said he's going to try this every Friday) and it all came down to 5pts - this includes the small glass of rose wine plus I got at least 2 of my 5-a-day veggies. He's a genius and a great cook and I'm a very lucky girl. :)
It's nearly 2030 and since I had to wake up early this morning to go running, I'm getting a little sleepy after my dinner. I'm going to finish my book, Haruki Murakami's What I talk about when I talk about running (which is a BIG recommendation if you run or you're thinking of taking it up!), then brush my teeth and have an early night. Mum and I are going swimming tomorrow so I better get my batteries recharged too. Hope everyone out there has wonderful weekend.
FYI - My small rant about going over points today is not by any means an excuse for my actions. I will always strive hard to only use the points I'm given. Eating loads like I used to is not the way to go, people!

Great post, and i think half the battle is learning to make a bad day just that, one day.
ReplyDeleteWe're all human after all and as my leader says 'skinny' peole don't have a bad day and follow it by another bad day and that's what we have to learn.
Have a great weekend :o)
