I’m going to have to really cut down the amount I am eating in the day. Last week I watched what I ate every day and tried to stick to between 3 and four things. Some days this was hard especially with a kiddie party followed by kebab. But then others it was pretty easy, and despite being hungry in the evenings I managed to stick with it.

This plan is good for me because there is no real thinking about it. Ok the only headache comes when I want something now but know I will also be tempted later, I still haven’t grasped the make a choice and stick with it. I’m still trying to find a get out clause that will mean I can eat more. Still I stuck with it even with much agonising.

The most frustrating thing about this past week, is I haven’t actually lost any weight! Yep not even a pound. Boy is it annoying its been the days that this has really got to me that I have actually struggled more than usual. Still I have tried to stick with it.

The big thing that helped was I thought at least I am breaking some of the bad habits and surely it’s better to cut down gradually rather than try to go cold turkey. I haven’t been eating between meals and no more eating in front of the tv. Which was beginning to happen most evenings.

So today I’m trying to think where can I cut down more with out it triggering a complete crash and burn, the most obvious is early morning. I’ve got into the really bad habit of having something in the morning before I muck out -ok a few weeks ago this was the plan- but I’ve found it’s been an excuse to go out later and later.

Plus this might be a bit too much information, but cereal goes right through me. Which means once I am on the yard I am often dashing back indoors. The other thing is if I have something sweet I very quickly want to follow it by something else sweet, and then something savoury to combat the sugar overload.

I have more news to share in the week, but for now let’s just say I’m more determined than ever to get back on and -out & about- with Nas.
