16lb to go!
I just need a little yay and congrats to myself. Let me explain.
I'm sending a box of stuff out to NZ. As I have room in the box, OH asked me to put some thorntons chocs and toffee in there. I was a bit apprehensive about buying them, as thorntons is a bit of a weakness for me (esp at TOTM, i.e. now!).
Buuuuut, I went, I stocked up on LOTS of thorntons (from asda actually, and it was pretty cheap!), and I wasn't even tempted to just keep one bag back for myself!
....and I just thought I needed to give myself a pat on the back for that!...
I worked out that doing this diet and being tempted by food is a bit like being in a long term relationship... i.e. you might be out with your friends, you see a really cute guy and maybe he is chatting to you or whatever. But you think, "Yeah, you look really good, but do you know what, I know you would be absolutely no good for me if anything happened between us. You would destroy a really good thing I've got going on with OH. Yes you're attractive but you're really not worth it are you?! I love myself and what I've got going on, more"... Does that make sense to anyone? It kinda made me smile actually, and resisting food became even easier!
