After a week of eating out - too much bread, cakes and crisp (seem to have had more of these than proper food), I am back on plan. I feel so bloated and fat.

Positives:
1. Planning to be on plan until Christmas Eve - then back on plan straight away on boxing day
2. Although I have eaten loads today, mainly was superfree - I will reduce portions gradually
3. Ate well and on plan
4. Few times during the day, I was tempted to give up - mainly due to miserable rainy day and being bored stuck at home. Had to remind myself that I have worked hard to get the weight off and do not want to go back being overweight - that seemed to do the trick
5. Plan to stock up on fruit & veg tomorrow
6. So glad to be off work for a couple of days so I can catch up with friends and do a few things around the house

31st December 2013 - Red

Finally I seem to have my sensible self back. I think all this not sleeping properly and binging is related to the bad weather we are having. Needless to say we had yet another storm last night which kept me awake and I had to get up in the middle of the night wondering around checking all the doors and windows.

Made myself busy with cooking and forgot about breakfast.

Snack - Apple, clementine, caramel tea

Since childhood, I have always wanted to cook a whole salmon but never had an oven big enough to do that. well I did it today and it was delish.

Snack - Ginger biscuits (12 syns), caramel tea, mango, clementine

I think that is it for today. Will have more Black tea later on.
