Everyday Systems

So my weekend was full of mini stollen, and not much good stuff. I actually felt rubbish for it, and didn't get to allow myself to feel ok about my choices. I was very stressed and nothing was going well for me, but this week is ok so far. Yesterday was a big birthday for my mum, so in addition to t...

Well done on getting back on track. It's really hard to do that following a wobbly period, especially when its not a Monday!

Well, I've not been updating, but have had a successful week. I am however, absolutely wiped out after this week, and feel like I deserve a medal for the rstraint I've shown. I cannot wait until tomorrow so I can enjoy 1 or 10 mini stollen bites without guilt. Roll on S day fun. PLus I get a lie in,...

I think today is a success. I had a delicious breakfast of porridge with grated apple and cinnamon, but then got so wrapped up in the christmas decorations, and cleaning up afterwards, I forgot to have lunch. To be fair, I wasn't at all hungry. I got to work at 5 and had a fabulous dinner of apricot...

Thinking of you. The work stressy stuff is just pants, and I really feel for you. A couple of weeks ago I had several complaints made to me about my assistant manager, who I consider a friend. Dealing with this was absolutely hideous, and my diet was totally rubbish for several weeks around it all. ...

Hi Brocky. I've just fine my first week too. Like you, I'm finding it liberating. And sod that good or bad nonsense. It's feels so refreshing to just eat and enjoy, without the inevitable guilt. Good luck this week 😁

Back to business after a long weekend of fun and Christmas movies! It was seriously the most strange weekend though. Apart from wine, of which I partook freely, I was most restrained. I ended up bringing back the mince pies which I'd bought thinking I'd eat the lot. I just didn't feel like eating fu...

SUCCESS. A great Thursday, good choices all round, and two lovely dog walks to round it off.

Your posts are interesting to read. I'm in my first week, but have a weekend away starting from tomorrow, which is traditionally focused on wine, crisps and other goodies. I'm not planning on being an angel instead, but am concerned how easily I may fall back into the snack hole. You give me hope!

Success - a straight three meals today. Granted, lunch was bigger than I would usually have, but at dinner I didn't even feel a pang saying no to the cheesecake my mother in law brought round. The scales show a loss already, but I don't dare hope that that's more than normal variation. Well, I'm ho...

Success - ish. All day was great, toast for brekkie, a toastie for lunch (I am aware I rely too much on bread) and duck with veg for dinner. The only blip has been that chef asked me to try the sticky toffee pudding. It was only a tiny piece, so I'm not going to kick myself about it, but am happy to...

Hello all. I've gone from yesterday, feeling miserable about my appearance and gluttony, to an overwhelming feeling of positivity. I read about this way of eating elsewhere on line and it seemed to fit me immediately. I know snacking is my downfall, not helped by the fact that I run the family resta...
