I have been trying this week, with limited success. I had a good day on Monday but then Tuesday I ended up giving in because I was so ravenous all day (I think this was to do with the interval training on Monday), Wednesday was okay but I ended up binging in the night, and yesterday I decided to start writing everything down in my book again like I used to in the beginning. I was good all day and ended the day with 1520 calories, which wasnt bad I thought. But in the night I had a cheese slice, a yogurt and packet of crisps, which added another 270 odd calories to my day. I really need to stop eating when I am half asleep, it is starting to become a real problem. I am better than I was though, so hopefully it wont be for much longer.
I have to have bread in the house to prepare my son’s lunch for school. I am like a demon around bread. I can easily get through a loaf on my own inside two days if I eat with abandon. It is so much easier to make a sandwich than to cook a meal. But this week I bought a loaf and put it in the freezer. I just get two slices out per night to defrost for the lunchbox and so far this week I have not had any of the loaf at all (its only been 2 days, but still). I did also buy some wholemeal pittas so that I did not have to go without bread entirely. I have frozen those too, and they are actually really lovely warmed up in the oven, and less calories than 2 slices of bread. I have been averaging 2 pittas a day, within my allowance, so I am doing much better with bread.
I was doing good on my challenge yesterday. I drank my water (1 point), had my 5 fruit and veg (1 point) and stayed on track with my calories but then I ate in the night so lost those 3 points. So I have 2 points for yesterday. Must try harder!
