Well the first day of a new month, so hopped on the scales. Am 3lbs less than when I started JUDDD and therefore have regained 5. Not too tragic or surprising really.
All the issues in my head remain the same. I don't want to be fat and I don't want to diet. Hmmm, not at all unreasonable then.
Have decided I am going to give myself the next 4 weeks on healthy eating and see what happens. I can have what I like but it must be healthy stuff and only because I really want it. No more eating what every one else is because it's easy, or because it's mealtime or because I am too lazy to make myself what I really want. I am going to weigh once a week, (Saturday morning) and see if I can 'diet' without 'dieting, IYSWIM. I am also going to get out of the eating 'habit', I am a terror for having a biscuit/cake/crisps just because I am a bit bored or fed up.
Whatever I do it must not become obsessive, thats where I fail, I need to be relaxed, forget about food instead of worrying about it. It's amazing how the busier I am the less I eat. Yesterday I had no biscuits, hardly nibbled had a reasonable lunch and steered clear of the ice cream. Just because I was so busy. So that shows it can be done.
Positive thinking and actions - thats the way forward.
