So, my good intentions have not been as good as I hoped they would be. Since my birthday I have made it to the gym once (yesterday) and I've eaten chocolate and other sweet things. However, something has changed - my mindset.
Now when I choose food I'm careful about my choices, or if I decide to have a dessert or a chocolate bar, I will cut something else out. Often I will decide to have fruit and yogurt instead of chocolate, and I don't over-eat thinking its a waste if I don't eat every last scrap on my plate. I think I am making better choices with my food and limiting myself to what I think is better for my physical and mental health as well as my figure.
This is a small step forward but I believe, a step forward nonetheless.
To help give you an idea of what we're working with, this is me:
I don't work well when I have a strict diet, nor do I think I need one; I work best when I can be kind to myself but decide on my own restraints as and when I think I need to.
Last night I had two clementines and a banana and natural yogurt for my evening dinner, with a sweeter yogurt for afterwards. (I had a late lunch so a full meal wasn't needed). In the past I would have eaten junk - crisps and chocolate most likely. I am slowly learning to be kinder to my body.
I am also hitting the gym tomorrow morning.
Watch this space.
