Let's start with the bad news. I've just eaten several Hobnobs (found a packet in my desk drawer). Never mind, "Why the hell were they in your desk drawer, Lily?" (a question I've been asking myself... ) - I need to move on to what I need to do next.
It's confession time. You know how we all, including me, urge people who've eaten something they shouldn't to 'draw a line under it', and not 'beat yourself up', etc., etc.?
Well guess what? :busted: I've never been able to do that - at least, not the same day. I've always done the complete opposite - carried on eating everything in sight, even gone out and bought food I wanted to eat with that, "What the hell, I've blown it!" mentality... "I'll get back on the diet tomorrow..." thought. Madness!!
NOT today. LOL.
Today, folks, I'm not going to carry on eating. Today, I really am going to put it behind me and carry on as though no Hobnobs passed my lips. I'll have a shake when I get home, and if I need another one later this evening, I'll have one (would still be SS+).
This all or nothing behaviour has to stop, otherwise I'm destined to stay at around the same weight for the rest of my life!
It's not going to be easy. I'm probably going to have to find strength I didn't know I had - but I've got to learn how to do this. Naturally thin people don't do that do they - have half a dozen biscuits then send out for a pizza? :8855: No, they say, "Ooh, I had those biscuits, so I don't need to eat too much at teatime."
I'm going to behave like a normal person! There's a novelty, eh?
