I will probs have some more snacks later on to use up the calories renaming if I feel hungry!

I think on the whole I am doing quite well and as of yet I have not felt any desire to cheat or binge! I hope this motivation stays! I am a little disappointed in myself that I haven't been to the gym since my first say of CC but this weekend has been really hectic as have moved house and so a lot of things haven't taken priority. Exercise being one of them. I think once I am home for the summer and there are fewer distractions I will definitely spend a lot more time at the gym! I also feel like I don't actually cook enough and just eat a lot of processed crap which really is 't good. Having it all written down makes it hit home S if you don't write it down you generally forget what you've had, or don't think about it for very long! Also I have consistently skipped meals which again isn't good because I'm usually starving by testing and then there's more temptation to cheat! I think I will try and address these! Feeling really good and positive now though! Let's keep it up! :D
 
Well done :) I skip breakfast alot, by the time ive got both the babies sorted it's always past 11 and then I think there's no point and might as well wait til lunch time! I'm trying to make a better effort though because otherwise I have loads of calories left and end up using them on chocolate at night! Still losing weight though so nvm lol x
 
Yeah I'm the same, if I don't get up until late I can't see the point in eating breakfast to then have dinner like 2 hours later! And I don't always want to eat as soon as I get up. The only time I really eat breakfast is when I'm on an early shift at work because I'm up at half 6 and then by the time I have my breakfast break at 10 I'm ready for something to eat! Ha. X
