In the
confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always, wins - not
through strength but by perseverance.
Well I
have to admit I’m a little bit excited this morning, which is actually a little
bit sad! Why am I excited, because I have
an entire weekend with no plans, apart from a trip to the dentist, a stock take
and a massage booked, my weekend is completely free to do whatever I like
with. Bliss ‘-)
What do
I plan to do, I honestly and thankfully have no clue, I’m just going to go with
the flow and do whatever takes my fancy.
I’ve started my day by using a coupon I’ve had for a couple of months to
save 75% on a wall canvas, I’m having this one made into a 30x20 canvas to hang
in my office because every time I look at it I smile and remember a fabulous
holiday and it also reminds me how lucky I am to have such an incredible
mother.
Hopefully
the rest of the weekend won’t cost me anything though, I’m going to spend it at
home, catching up on the little things you never get round to, that’s my hope
anyway.
As soon
as I logged on this morning, my homepage which is Yahoo had an article about, Food
fibs that will make you fat, that made me smile, as I’ve heard and said most of
them I think at one time or another.
These were the ones they’d listed – are you using any of them?
"I exercised today so I can have it"
"I deserve it"
"It's low fat so I can have more"
"I deserve it"
"It's low fat so I can have more"
'I'll never eat that again'
'Skipping breakfast is an easy way to cut calories'
"It's a salad so it's fine!"
"It's a waste to throw food away"
'It's free so I must eat it'
What’s your favourite food fib that you tell yourself or others? I’ve stopped lying to myself about eating, I’m well aware that occasionally I overeat and I usually know the reason for doing it, I no longer make excuses for my behaviour, nor beat myself up about it, I just acknowledge I’m doing it and ask myself how long I think this behaviour is likely to last. Then I enjoy it and get back to eating well, I’ve spent 7 days off track eating what I want when I want. Downstairs I have ¾ of a chicken chow mein I picked up on the way home from work last night, I only ate a bit, so my plan is to eat that for breakfast! Yes I know some of you couldn’t do that but I can and I will enjoy it. Then I have a dentist appointment, after which I plan to get on track and return to my healthy eating that I know and enjoy. I’ve got a weekend free so I have time to consider what to cook and I’m bored with overeating now, I’m ready for some ‘lightness’ in my meals.

So
