If you are not willing to learn – no one can help you. If you are determined to learn – NO ONE can
stop you!
Well I’ve just seen this on facebook –
(There is no finish line so love the journey)
How true, is that statement – I love how the universe sends you
reminders when you need them, this on for me was that ‘getting to goal’ is only
part of the journey where weight loss is concerned, luckily I already know
that, I realised that about 5 years ago after years of trying to get to my goal
and perfectly stay there! I realised
that wasn’t going to happen, life gets in the way sometimes and so do I! As I replied to a FB chat I was having
yesterday, “I bloody love food I do” and this is why I will never maintain my
weight 100% at the weight I’m supposed to be, because I have noticed that when
I embrace that fact my body seems to maintain itself at about 7-12lb higher but
my sanity remains more in tact because of that acceptance!
Yesterday was one of those “ooo what can I eat” days, I can’t remember
the last one I had, even my Thursday helpers remarked it had been a while, well
I just wanted all day but not anything, no I wasn’t prepared to eat just any old
junk, I wanted specific stuff, and on the night I even walked in and out of a
fish and chip shop without buying anything because once in there I realised
that wasn’t what I wanted for my tea, then I walked aimlessly round the co-op
and couldn’t see anything, I reached the wine aisle and no I’m not always that
predictable I didn’t buy wine, I saw and bought a packet of dry roasted peanuts
and ate them in the car, it started off that I was eating them one at a time
and trying to enjoy the coating but it turned out they weren’t the best made
dry roasted I’d had so ended with me eating a handful at a time to get the
taste of them. I also ate them a bit
savage like, if someone had tried to take them off me I’d have probably
attacked that person ‘-).
Now I’ve read all the books, ‘sit down, put it on a plate and enjoy
every mouthful’ and most of the time I’d agree, but occasionally I like to give
in to my primal instinct and really do what I feel I want to do not what I know
to be the correct or best way according to the experts.
Why was I in that kind of mood yesterday – who cares, we don’t have to
analyse everything either, we have moods, and cycles, and hormones and all
sorts of reasons that affect us and we don’t need to understand them all. All I know is that I ate scratchings and
popcorn and a crisp sarnie and WOW it was a good eating day! It may not have been a weight loss day but
you know what I don’t care, I lost a pound on the scales yesterday morning, I’m
happy, I’m healthy and I’m about as sane as I’m ever going to be – I couldn’t
ask for more. Well I could but that
would be being a bit greedy!
For those curious ones the ProPoints I consumed were;
Breakfast - 2 crumpets (5pp) 10g cheese (1pp) tomato = 6pp
2nd Breakfast - 2 ½ slices toast – 10pp
Mid morning snack - 2 x boots shapers salted popcorn 4pp (a member
bought them in for me – so I’ll blame her for that one J)
Lunch - ½ portion egg fried rice – 6pp
Afternoon snack 1 – 2 marshmallow things – 4pp
2nd Afternoon snack - 1 slice bread & spread with a few
cheese & onion crisps – 5pp
Tea time snack – scratchings 3pp (a member bought me these too, so yeah
her fault lol)
Tea – 100g Dry roasted peanuts – 16pp
Wine – 9pp
Total 63pp, that could’ve been so much more and back in the day – it
would’ve been.
So here’s to a fresh clean day, I love being me because I my lovelies
am BeYouTiful ;) I eat, love and am gorgeous, I believe I epitomise healthy
living – some may disagree but do you know what – I don’t care.
Have a fabulous Friday xx
