Ive just kept myself busy for half an hour by writing out my meal plans for this week and my shopping list lol, its all go now while i get the kids tea sorted and get them ready for bed so will be no time to eat. Im going to have my dinner later when i get back from shopping so i can sit and eat it in peace and appreciate it. I think sometimes im so busy sorting the kids out while i eat that i kind of forget ive had it iykwim. How are you getting on today hun? Xxx

Ok now comes the hard bit, I have just got home from work ready for my evening meal, but because the bar is quite busy it might be a while before we eat... I try to keep drinking lime and soda so that I don't pick... Weekends are always our weak point, just because its hard to find time to eat...xx

Wondering if maybe im eating too much? Might try cutting back a bit tomorrow,ive put my scales in the back of the shed so i cant even see how things are going this week (im a serial weigher lol,so for me to go two days without weighing is good) tonight will be the test as michael is on nights and this is when i get the serious urge to pick at rubbish,i might just get an early night x

Looking at it you aren't eating too much... remember that portion control is where you should look if you think you are, but also eating too little lowers your metabolic rate which stores water and fat... I tend to lose less if I don't eat enough...xx

You might just need the extra if your due, my doctor once told me that your body only craves what it needs, and if it wants extra food so long as its not junk you should be fine... I asked why I crave chocolate just before and he said it was the feel good endorphins that your body is craving... Exercise should boost that, but if you do want chocolate save some Syns and have some... xx

That is definately true about the feel good endorphins any other time i have been due on i would have had a big binge on chocolate i just cant help myself but went spinning yesterday morning and was buzzing for the rest of the day,i went to my uncles in the evening for his bday and got offered a big bit of chocolate cake but i said no so there must be some truth in it as before i would have wolfed it down lol,thank you for popping in hun xxx
