I have failed miserably with my goal this year to make Christmas less about the presents and food and more about spending time with family and friends. I had intended to make a lot of our Christmas goodies… (Apart from hubby’s chillies jam and my mince pies) I just seem to of run out of time. I can’t help it I’m an advertiser’s best customer if I see an advert I have to buy it. There are so many nice looking edibles lying around I can’t resist any more i want them all of them right now.
I mean seriously I’m sure most would agree i have done well to get this far without eating any of it. I have even surprised myself on that front. just a shame that i see Christmas like most do as a time to buy every nice thing you like add to that the offers you get this time of year you end up with double even treble what you need. i have so many chocolates I’ve literally just come to the conclusion i wouldn’t be able to eat them all over Christmas even with the help of our ten house guests (well maybe i could if i let them have some… .but no they are mine:-)
This path of destruction started at the weekend when we had a birthday party and then a Christmas gathering etc. i really was going to try and stick to the same principles i have been, it’s just not working out like that. so rather than beat myself up and watch everything i eat, i think i just have to accept its time to switch of the diet and switch on the out of office reply. I’m going to continue being active and walking the dogs and more hopefully, hey did i mention i went ice skating yesterday ME ice skating… if that’s what losing 2 stone can do. I can’t wait to get back on it in the New Year.
i know i will get back on it as well, it honestly hasn’t been that hard on a day to day basis it’s just at times of celebration i have yet to find my happy medium, oh one last thing i will be making an effort to make sure i stop eating whatever it is once I’ve had enough and even if i fancy something else i know it can wait until tomorrow, i very nearly got back into that binge cycle and i think that’s why I’m going to stop that whole mental torture thing. I’m not going to start being good again in the morning so i don’t have to cram it in now.
Happy Christmas
