Well I seem to have had a bit of a false start, I posted my first food diary last Friday and since then I've gone completely off track :sigh: I ate out twice on the weekend and because it's been so long since I've been out for food I went a bit mad and didn't chose wisely, I know this isn't a very good excuse.
Although I am very disapppointed in myself and embarrassed to have a wobble so early on I have identified my trigger points.
I seem to have an all or nothing attitude and although I was doing well all day Saturday as soon as I had eaten my meal I thought well I've messed up I may as well continue so added a few glasses of wine and chocolate. The same happened Sunday I was okay until I went for a mexican meal and then out came the wine and chocolate again
The other thing I relised is that I need to stay organised and plan my meals, this is something I really enjoy as it makes me feel in control. That was the other problem with this weekend, I started the plan Friday because I was eager to get going but I wasn't properly prepared.
Reading these back I can see they sound like poor excuses I suppose deep down I keep expecting myself to fail and so that's why I keep giving up at the first hurdle.
So today I have been food shopping, I've planned my meals and I've bought the SW food directory, low syn snack and free food books so I'm all set!
So my new food diary will start from tomorrow
