That's it, I'm giving myself the weekend off. I've been given a huge lindor easter egg and been to a BBQ today.

Easter is too difficult to avoid!

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

You deserve the weekend off, rooie - you've been doing so well!! Enjoy that easter egg

 

[RoxieP]

I know what you mean, just got off the phone to my mum and I'm seeing her tomorrow as she wants to give me my easter egg! I am sensing this is going to be a bad week...

 

[rooie]

Thanks for the support. I haven't even finished my easter chocolate yet, but I'm hoping I can be a bit more sensible and just have a little bit every now and then, rather than say the whole egg that I demolished on sunday!
I feel pretty awful though, after eating so healthily for awhile now, when I eat chocolate I really feel the effects.
However, easter may be over, but I also find the the warmer weather brings up a whole new minefield. As I usually only drink water, in the heat sometimes that just won't do, so this weekend I've also been drinking fresh juices and lemonade, which only adds extra calories and sugar. Oh and ice cream, I've had quite a few of those this weekend as well. And a picnic yesterday.
Oh well, today is a new day. I hope to get back on track and gain some more restraint. Especially as I have a good reason now, I'm bridesmaid for my sisters wedding in august.

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

Every season brings new temptations. At least you've noticed where the extra cals are creeping in etc so you can keep an eye on things.

Being your sister's bridesmaid is a very good reason to stick to it! I'm sure you'll look awesome
