I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been reading and commenting. Your help and support has meant a lot to me and has helped me so much.
While my eating habits still haven't been so great, they have been better. There has still been chocolate and comfort eating, but I have felt a shift in my mindset and I am trying not to beat myself up so much.
Myf suggested making some smaller goals. So this week I have been focusing on cooking dinner each night, as we have gotten a bit slack with this and there has been a lot of take out. So far, so good. We have planned to eat out tomorrow night for Valentines Day, but at least it is planned. I need to come up with some weekly goals I think, something to aim for and concentrate on.
I have also started getting my snacks ready, so I have a couple of days worth ready to go into my bag each day. Now I just need to work on making sure I eat these and not buy chocolate.
Lunches have been better. Yesterday I made myself a sandwich when I made the school lunches, and the day before I had Zambreros. I need to make my lunch for today, and will do that shortly as well as put dinner into the slow cooker. If anyone has any slow cooker recipes they would reccommend I'd love to hear about them.
Chez has also told me about a hypnosis app which has a lot of different topics, including weightloss, so I have been listening to this the last couple of nights while in bed. I'm not sure if it's working yet, but my mindset is better, so it may be due to that.
I still need to do up my meal plan for the week, but I started watching some videos ont he Curves Complete site this morning, and there are a couple there that are quite good. I came across this quote which I thought was interesting:
"A journey changes your location
A process changes you"
Basically, it's saying that by planning and putting a process into place you can change, but a journey only changes your location and is short term.
