Any good tips for comfort eaters?
I guess I need to find something else.
Going out for a walk isn't possible in my current job where I need to be at my desk.
What other strategies are there for dealing with it?

Back at work, back with time to spend in front of a PC, back on plan, back once again with the renegade master!


Had a sketchy week as I was very emotional about Top Baby starting nursery. The emotion took the form of two bottles of wine and a family sized caramel bar. And it was her 1st birthday on Thurs just gone, so all the cake.


Today!


B - Bacon, scrambled egg, mushrooms


D - Ham, egg, new potato and cottage cheese salad and a Super rice pot badoodle (1)


T - No idea - Top Bloke cooking.


Plenty of BM in that I have a Fitbit and I'm already on 7.9k steps

An Interesting read for those with fitness trackers.

Popular brands of fitness trackers can overestimate the number of calories burned while walking by more than 50%, tests have found.

Researchers at Aberystwyth University found all products - ranging from £20 to £80 in price - were inaccurate during walking and running tests.

Dr Rhys Thatcher said devices had an "inherent tendency" to over-measure.

Fitbit said its product was based on "extensive research", but others said theirs were "not medical devices".

The tests, carried out for the BBC X-Ray programme, measured the amount of oxygen a volunteer used during ten minute walking and running sessions on a treadmill, before comparing it to the various fitness trackers.

The Fitbit Charge 2, which is the best selling fitness tracker on the market, was very accurate in testing calories burned while running, underestimating by 4%. But when measuring walking, it overestimated by more than 50%.

Cheaper devices - the Letscom HR and the Letsfit - underestimated the number of calories burned while running by 33% and 40% respectively.

But both were far more accurate in the walking test. The Letscom overestimated by 15.7% while the Letsfit was only 2% above the official measurement.

"If you want to know the exact number of calories that you are burning during an exercise session then it doesn't matter which device you use, you have to interpret the data with some caution," Dr Thatcher said.

He added the inaccuracies were not important if they were being used as a motivational tool or to track progress.

Fitbit said it was confident about the performance of its product.

Letscom and Letsfit said their devices depend on data such as height and stride for accuracy and are not scientific devices, giving only estimations.

X-Ray is on BBC One Wales at 19:30 GMT on Monday 28 January

If you're doing SW then the answer is planning. Have plenty of SW friendly snacks to hand that you can nibble on. Obvious ones are fruit, celery sticks, carrot batons but it'll depend what's appropriate to eat at your desk.

Or worse still when the buffet is sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps and deep fried various beige food in batter or breadcrumbs.

Fingers crossed I can find something healthy. Otherwise I'll try to eat very little and have something later.:)

I really begrudge having to have the alpen light and synning it, but I was absolutely starving because the nectarine I took to work for breakfast wasn't ripe.

One little crumb of comfort sary. Alpen lights are only 3 syns.

Cod, SW chunky chips and SW chip shop curry for diner tonight, with side salad.


Looking forward to it after a manic day running from one place to another with appointments, then almost forgot to go to an important appointment with a specialist this afternoon.
Got another diagnosis to add to my ever growing list and another piece of medical equipment I have to pick up on the 5th, I could have cried in all honesty but hey ho it is what is, I shall move upwards and onwards.
