Morning all!
Another day of being good under my belt but MY GOD was it hard!
I was like a bear with a sore head all day long for some reason. I felt tearful one minute and really angry the next
?
Things that don't usually phase me were really getting to me. I felt tearful when I was making breakfast for DD -my mouth was really watering, it was only cereal so didn't even smell (but I do LOVE cereal!). Then I took lemon marmalade on toast (now that DID smell nice!) up to OH in bed with a milky coffee. He thanked me, but I didn't feel he'd thanked me enough?? Of course, I have to keep it in perspective - it was just me bringing him a coffee and toast upstairs - so there was obviously no need for him to deliver a tear provoking thank you speech! But getting up those stairs without eating that toast and taking a big gulp of his milky coffee was the equivalent of climbing mount everest for me yesterday so it felt like I deserved a little more than "ta babe".
It's fair to say that when (for the 2nd evening on the trot BTW!) he fancied chips for tea my mood didn't improve! And I confess to thinking "GOOD!" as he described how the fish was a bit dry and the chips weren't as nice as usual whilst he ate it! Thankfully I managed not to let my irritation show on either occasion as I knew I was being irrational.
Anyway - that's enough of my ramblings!
My Day 6 menu was
choc porridge
choc bar
banana mousse
orange jelly
3 litres water
6 black coffees
I thought better of having the extra half pack treat I mentioned in yesterdays post. I knew that the frame of mind I was in it would most likely have turned into whole pack.... then another bar.....Then I would get the old "might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" feeling and demolish a loaf of toast and a few of DD's easter eggs that are still torturing me around the house!
So - quite proud of self all in all and feeling a bit more positive today. I like Sundays as the family all get together at my folks for dinner - Mom is the best cook in the world so it's quite hard to resist her sunday roast and baking but at least it means I don't have to cook!
Here's to another successful day :wavey: Good luck everyone! x
BTW Looking forward to everyones results tom. My weigh in is at 7.30 so will let you know how it's gone when I get back!
