Not a problem, and keeping the thread going means I keep trying to shift the blubber that I need to shift

and I notice you're doing really well this challenge

well, I've really pressed the big red self destruct button tonight...over the last 18 months I've become much more aware of my health and what I should be eating, but tonight I've reverted...I've had a takeaway pizza and a glass of wine, while watching an old re-run of the Biggest Loser...what's that all about? that's the sort of thing I'd have done in the past!

I have some long term niggling worries with family right now, but nothing I can do anything about, which is hard. Also feeling very anxious about a hospital visit I should do tomorrow. But I must not..will not use that as an excuse to overeat any longer. Today will be a one-off!

Don't know what came over me last night...okay, I still have takeaway now and again, but I don't do the whole "takeaway, wine, chocolate, and dieting videos to make me feel bad" thing any more!
I went to bed feeling yuck, overfull, stodgy, a bit wibbly with the wine, and really annoyed with myself...the "treat" foods obviously didn't end up being a treat, did they?!

So I'm writing Saturday off and starting again today

I took a good look at myself in bed this morning, and realised just how much more weight I need to lose. I can tell myself I look better standing up, but seeing it when lying on my side is :eek: (there was a purpose to this activity, I'm thinking of going bed shopping, and am self conscious about lying down on a bed in the shop )

So that image in my head is focusing my mind, I don't know yet what I'll eat today, but I promise it will be moderate

ellie you're not alone - I used to dig out a tub of ice cream to eat in front of the biggest loser! You have the right attitude about it though; you had a not so good day, but you've drawn a line under it and moved on. :T

I've had a fairly fit weekend - swimming yesterday, an hour and a half at the gym today. Did a full body workout, but left when I started to feel a bit self conscious that I smelled a bit sweaty (did the floor go empty because everyone left for lunch, or was it because I needed a shower...?)

I also managed to resist sticking bad things in my basket at the supermarket after the gym, even though I was starving. I took some time to find something healthier to nibble on, and came out with some olives.

Today I'm having:

Lunch: stuffed artichokes
Snack: buttered roll
Dinner: chard soup (chard, chickpeas, coconut milk)
Snack: banana and berry smoothie
