And in a much better frame of mind than I was on Friday!! Sorry about the grumpy post - just had to get it off my chest!
Lynda - I LOVE Stu's idea! May just try that one day but not just yet...
Although I resisted emotional eating on Friday, last night I ended up having some chippies while Stephan was out and Rachel was in bed... and despite actually enjoying them I did feel guilty after I finished them. Today, all I have eaten is 2 left over sausages that were in the fridge! Could explain why I have a bit of a headache but Stephan just organising dinner now (not the best but will do - cheese and tomato toasted sandwich)... Weighed myself this morning and I was 900gms up - not surprisingly really....
Only got 2 days of work this week as I have Wednesday off to make sure everything is ready for Rachel heading back to School on Thursday, then I have Thursday and Friday off so I can drop her off, settle her in, meet her new teacher etc....
Right, best I get moving... catch ya all tomorrow :)

Don't worry too much yet about the scales. Chippies are not the end of the world but only and a sometimes food. Sausages are OK - not as bad as having cakes and pies. My weight goes up by at least 900gr and then goes way lower so just concentrate on what you eat rather than the scale. Until you get over cravings and get into a good routine the scales may not go down too much.
About the sausage roll - you can eat the middle of loads of goodies. I had a potato top pie and at all of it but not the pastry one day as it was the only choice! Just focus on wheat and sugar as the thing to avoid most. Sure potato is a starch and raises blood sugar but it is not as additive/common as wheat and sugar.
I do hope the scales will be kind though as I really want you to succeed and be happy.
Are you counting down to thursday like me? lol
Lynda has good advice and is reassuring. I mucked up a bit this weekend as had a BBQ here last night but my thoughts in situations like this are to avoid as much wheat/sugar as possible and if I slip up to make up for it the next day.
You are sounding so much more positive:-)
I am so pleased that you have let your workmates comments pass you by.
We can do this Karen, we have a great support network here, and I know that for me my weight is up and down all over the place, but if I put the right things in, eventually things have to click into place. I think it is a matter of just one step and maybe even 1 meal at a time.
Love the comments Karen. They make good sense. What I do is make the best choice in a bad food situation.
Re emotional eating...I have done exactly the same thing. S and F were out one time and I was feeling totally emotional so I had one and a half jam sandwiches. Then there was the night when I said to S...I NEED chocklate. So I pigged out and have been back on good eating. I dont think it really matters to much about our slip ups. Guilt free eating helps me get right on back to eating healthily.
Weigh day for me today.....will remind myself of the above posts and try not to get discoureged if the scales arnt kind!lol
Hope you enjoy your days off. All the best for continuing to eat well. xx
