Feeling a bit blue today. I know it's most likely to be the hormones. And on top of that I have been thinking a lot of my Dad the last few days and that's been quite tough on me emotionally, miss him a lot.
Inevitably, the brain that is so well trained in suggesting something that will cover up those emotions and provide some temporary relief, turns to food.
I'm not going to give in, that's for sure. But it's really hard this morning. I even dream of food at the moment. So I removed myself from the kitchen after drinking a pint of water and making a mug of herbal tea, and am well and truly away from temptation.
It's another reason why I need to make this work this time around. The restart is a lot harder than when I started Exante originally. It was totally new then and you didn't dare deviate from the plan with so much as a lettuce leaf. But having done it before, it's easy to get over-confident I find. I think I started having some low carb foods about 5 or 6 weeks into the process last year. But this time around, my brain's already considering it, telling me I could have some because it worked last year. It's only day 9!
Anyway, I'm going to have another 100% day today.
