Nearly had a disaster!!!

[Caterpillergirl]

Last night was sitting watching TV about 8ish waiting to have my last shake at 9 and my hubby/daughter and her bfriend were all doing other stuff so was on my own,
I don't know if anyone else does this but I sit and think about food I'm going to eat with a nice cup of tea and in my mind go through the motions of it as though it's a done deal!!
Anyway for some reason when I diet I always crave cashew nuts or crisps so went into kitchen and put teabag and SUGAR and MILK (lol) into my cup, boiled water and started to rummage through the cupboards for some cashew nuts. If anyone had come into the kitchen they would have thought
"what the heck are you in here for and what are you doing!"
Suddenly I stopped and thought WHAT AM I DOING.......so went back and sat on my hands until 9pm then had my water and shake and watched Hell's Kitchen with my hubby and the feeling passed,
Annoyed with myself coz I nearly blew it
Phewwwwww

food

First of all well done for resisting the nuts, and secondly you are not alone, all i think about is food, although as the weeks go on a chicken salad is sounding way more appealing than fatty or sugary treats, what i really want is tomatoes! The trouble with me is that while i have lost weight my husband has gained, as i have become a feeder and cant stop cooking or baking!:8855:

Hi Katy73
I know what you mean I'm a feeder too.
I keep cooking and baking for the family and there is always food around in the house.
My 17 yr old daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and she has to have a high fat high calorie diet and needs to put on weight at the moment so I'm always cooking for her - she likes home cooked food but her appetite is down right now - so I'm trying to lose it and she's trying to gain it's very hard x

Well done to you for starting!
I'm on my 11th day now and feeling a lot better than the start.
The thing is I can go to cafe's and McDonalds with everyone and sit and have coffee/water/shakes and be fine but when I'm on my own the food demon takes over so have to be very careful. :sigh::cry:
