..............

Finished lunch and decided that I was going to have a cup of coffee and a biccie.

Went to the kitchen
Found biccies
Took out one biccie (to have with coffee). Ate it
Remembered that I need to put kettle on for coffee
Put kettle on and walk away from biccies
Go do something else.
Remember plan for coffee and a biccie
Go back into kitchen and put kettle on again
Take out biccie. Put it on a plate. Eat it
Go away whilst kettle does it's job.
Come back and get biccie out. Biccie now in right hand.
Kettle boils, so put biccie in mouth (just to 'hold' it as hands are now busy making coffee.
Find half biccie in mouth gone soft, so quickly eat and get another biccie out and put on plate.
Go into lounge and have coffee and biccie that I had planned.

I think that about sums up what happens

I particularly love number 12

It's so stoopid Mini, because I know what I'm like

3-4 biccies really doesn't matter at this stage of the 'game', but it can turn into

"oh well....might aswell finish them all...well it is Sunday....and bank holiday Monday tomorrow" (as if my body will burn up extra calories just because it's a day off

)....."and I haven't binged for aaaagggggeees, so deserve one now" (as if binging is a fun pastime

)

Got to watch my chatterbox for the rest of the day. Grrrrhhhh

kd so funny,,that soooo typical

**Mini** · 4th May, 2008

What I found interesting from your own observations is how easy it is to consume more than the one biccie...

Even though the intention in the first place was to have One!

I know from past experience I have done the exact same thing over and over again without fully being aware of it.

For me being back on SSing shows me just how often my hands have a will of their own when picking up food

I think vigilance and awareness is the main thing and not to let denial take over.

You have that

Love Mini xxx

I can feel the frustration KD but it twas very funny, many of us will see ourselves mirrored in your actions!

Gxx

Dancing · 4th May, 2008

yep, ditto what georgie said. And I liked no. 12 too!

KD · 4th May, 2008

and the day gets worse

Totally aware of what I was doing

Still did it anyway.

Could be worse though. There is still food left in the house. Progress

KD · 4th May, 2008

So DH gets chocolate cake out and cuts a slice. Leaves cake out.
I take a slice

Come back and cake winks at me. (clever cakes in our house

)

Think

Good KD: Boys....want some chocolate cake?
DS1: No thanks.
DS2: No, but I'll have a salad sandwich if you're doing one.
Good KD: Great idea....why didn't I think of that?

Make a sandwich for DS2 and me. Give DS2 his sandwich and I have a sandwich and a slice of choc cake

Go back into the kitchen an hour later and DH is cutting himself another slice of cake

Take a slice for me and put it away

DH (later in afternoon): DH gets cake out again and cuts himself a small slice. " Do you keep putting the cake away? It's moving. "

Weird cake

I cut another slither, go to put it away, but it's hardly worth it. Not enough left to put away. Suggest DH or boys finish it

But no. They don't want any. Leave out. Think KD...think...

Bad and good KD: Okay. Had too much already. Could cancel dinner. Ummm, now that is dodgy. Cancelling dinner because I've eaten too much and know I've had enough cals for the day, so shouldn't, or cancelling dinner because I'm not now hungry, and don't fancy anything.

There is a difference. Would I really prefer to finish off the cake and give up my dinner. Is that what I really want?

Probably sounds mad, but I know me. Cancelling a dinner will give me the excuse to binge all evening. After all....I haven't even had dinner

Decide to have dinner anyway. Put cake away. All is well.

Overeaten, but not a binge. Served myself a smaller portion of dinner, because I really don't want as much as I would normally.

Think this evening will be fine. Phew. Disaster averted. Feeling 'normal' again

Dancing · 4th May, 2008

phew. feel the struggle and you have come through it. Good decision about not skipping dinner - that is my philosophy too. But you have way more staying power than I have displayed these past few months.

Well done and hope tomorrow is a GOOD day

**canireallydothis!!** · 4th May, 2008

I was holding my breath for you then KD, was on tenterhooks to see what you did. Well done

Just right now, Im in need of posts like this to get my head round everything.

I would give you rep but I cant!!

blue_grapefruit · 4th May, 2008

OH MY GOD - THAT'S AWFUL!

I never use a plate for biccies

**Mrs Depp** · 4th May, 2008

KD I have lived every word you've written in your posts!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're mad as a box of ferrets! In a 'good way' of course lol!
