Staying in Control

Here are some ways I have stayed in control today and thus should be proud of myself for:

Been bored silly and not resorted to binge eating. I have blogged, defragged computers, annoyed my brother and the kids - anything to avoid food. But really it is not a big issue.
I bought jam doughnuts for my brother at his request and he was then trying his hardest to tempt me and I told him I was not interested as I have a watermelon. And meant it!
I went shopping while hungry and didn’t buy anything I shouldn’t have. I did pick up some crisps (potato chips) - French Fries, Quavers and Skips (not all at the same time but alternatively) - but ended up not getting any as I concluded it was just calories I did not need to consume.
My mum went shopping and bought white baps, raisin bread, sausage rolls, pork pies, crisps and many other things and I have not had any of it (nor will I).
Whenever I have felt hungry I have forced water down my throat instead of eating.
I had to change my trousers before I left the house as they were falling down.

Yay for you! I wish I had that kind of will power! I’ve lost 6.5 pounds now, and my pants are starting to get loose. I just bought a cute pair of shorts too. I think I should have gotten them a size smaller and ungrew into them.

Congrats on your control. I envy you!

Good for you! Not having complete control over your environment makes losing weight so much harder. I applaud you!

Thanks, girls. Believe me, I have not always been this way! I am copletely in the zone for losing weight but I have been trying for the past eight years to lose this weight to no avail. But it’s working now and I am so proud that I am finally managing to get somewhere with my weightloss. I am seeing real changes now and cannot stop looking in the mirror!
