This week, I have been out for dinner and had dessert, I have eaten plenty of cakes and biscuits, I have snacked and not really thought about what I have been eating. Yet, I have still lost over a kilo since last week.
What I have been doing differently, is in addition to writing 3 things I'm grateful for each day, on the advice of my therapist I have added an extra line: writing one thing I value or like about myself. I'll write more about this in a different post, but this has been more challenging than looking for things I'm thankful for. And I have only been doing it less than a week, and I already want to start repeating myself (which is an added challenge I've set myself, rather than someone else saying it for me).
I am slowly making some better choices - last night for dinner, I made a delicious salad, and remembered to 'water' down the salad dressing with vinegar so that it coats all the leaves easier and is fewer calories. I have also made plans to Body Groove with a friend. We can only do fortnightly, but once a fortnight is still better than doing nothing other than sitting on my arse all day.
Right now, even though I've just consumed two Oreos and a latte for breakfast, I'm feeling positive about the week ahead.
