I am doing OK - strategies are working and I am starting to gain the right weight for me! I was aware I was going into Christmas concerned that I might go completely off track. Brains tend to complete what they picture, so I am starting to fill my brain with how I want to spend Christmas - making heatlhy choices, and really enjoying TINY amounts of the other stuff!
I have made a decision it's going to be easy! I know that old belief of it's going to be hard used to be an almost a self-fulfilling prophesy, if you expect the lure of that certain food to be irresistible then it will be.
I have a plan, the best way to for achieving our goals. I know there is going to be snacks around, lots of them, and loads of nice food to pick on. I have decided to reach the end of the christmas break having eaten around 1200 calories each, by choosing healthful foods and stopping eating when I am full. I am making a point of saying no when somebody says Jenny would you like one of these, even if it is from the children! (OK maybe I'll say yes once or twice!).
I have also made a decision not to feel guilty. I am already practiced in the strategies of losing weight and I am continuing to use them - putting exercise and keep an eye on the calories. I'll also stand on those scales next Tuesday! I want to know how well things are going to fine tune them if I need to.
