Where have you gone? We had to head to tesco quick yesterday for dog treats and some munchables for the next few days,we are going to be in the van,car,horse box a lot and meal times won’t exactly be happening at the correct time.

This is mainly for Horatio, Steve can go most the day with out eating. And I just about manage until lunchtime. Which is what I am trying to stick to as well as no eating in the evenings after dinner. Other than this I am not trying to be too good.

I think if I deny myself anything during the day at the moment I would have a meltdown. What I am doing is trying to differentiate between letting myself enjoy food and having what I want. To letting it become a free for all and eat everything I see,hear,smell. I kow it’s crazy right surely in the past what I,ve actually wanted and had are the same things?

Oh no, take yesterday for example. On our quest to tesco I realised I had packed the crumble mix and wouldn’t be able to make the rhubarb crumble I was looking forward to. I am still trying to stick to the same principles I always have 2meals 1treat. So I thought what could I get instead, I didn’t really want to start buying chocolate because I knew I would end up with too much, which I would end up eating that evening.

So I choose crispy Kreme doughnuts, it’s been a while since we bought a box. So as a family treat we picked out an assortment. There were no maple glaze ones though!!! So when we got home to a cup of tea… I tried the creme brûlée one -hmm not sure- then I tried the coconut ice one -eugh- and then I tried the strawberry one -eugh- finally finishing on the mango crumble one -EUGH-. I would like to point out that although I did end up eating the equivalent of 2 doughnuts the dogs helped out with the rest.

And then later on I finished of the other two creme brûlée ones. It’s ok though because for dinner we had frozen no filling pies!
See what I,m saying if they had had maple glaze then I wouldn’t of ended up eating all that extra creamy stuff! Ok might still of eaten 3/4 doughnuts but the maple ones are smaller and have a hole in the middle. 😉

Right the van is loaded, just got to wake the boys up and we are off to check out the new house. Will try to post some pictures hopefully later.
