planning not failing!

Today I was away from home all day at a course. It was bring you own lunch and I knew there was takeaway for dinner, also it was in a remote area not near any shops. So heeding the advice I had been given before I knew I had to go prepared.

And here is the result... 


I had my usual breakfast before I left. Lunch was ratatouille, taco beans and pasta - followed by melon and kiwi. Snacks through out the day were apples, banana, alpen light bar and carrots dipped in cottage cheese.

But its dinner I am the most proud of, I had been told it was fish and chips and I didn't want to be the only one not eating it. So I checked my eating plan books and took a salad and a jacket potato with me. Then when everyone else ordered I asked for cod and *no* chips and a portion of mushy peas! I then.... and I cant quite believe I did this... took the batter off the fish! This made my dinner totally syn free instead of giving into peer pressure and not wanting to be the odd one out. If I had gone along with everyone else that meal would have come to over double my daily allowance. Instead I am well under it.

So I declare today a major win for me being in control of food and not the other way round.

    1. Thanks Sally, The willpower has come from a heap of therapy getting my head in the right place to deal with all this. The willpower stays by looking at Autumn. I am so desperate for her not to take on my issues with food, I have to live the example I want her to follow.

      Also the food I am eating is so yummy it is very rare I crave something unhealthy :-)
