i can. i will.

hi everyone,

i hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves :)

Today has been really successful. i couldnt believe that i could do it...i went a whole day without chips or chocolate!!!! for some people they would be like 'so what? thats nothing' but to me that is a HUGE achievement. i will admit that i had moments during the day where i felt like having something naughty but i took a deep breath and reminded myself why i am on this journey. I also went for a 40 minute walk this morning and then another 1hr walk this evening (alot of it on soft sand so my butt is hurting majorly!). i cannot stress how much exercise can really help you. even if you cant stop eating- get out there and go for a big walk- it will free your mind and fill you with happy endorphines :)

so here is what i ate today :

breakfast:
1 small bowl of oats
1/4 cup of skim milk
1 cup of tea with a dash of skim milk

snack:
1/2 punnet of strawberries (with a couple of blueberries thrown in there) mixed with no fat nestle passionfruit yoghurt

lunch:
greek salad with 50g of chicken breast

snack:
apple

dinner:
tuesday is my treat night as i share a pizza with the lady i live with. but that means i am  not allowed any other treats AT ALL for the rest of the week. and i am cutting my tuesday pizza to once a month. until i can stop having it altogether

because i survived the day without eating chips or chocolate i brought a little rock which has 'dream' on it. i am going to look at it every time i feel like cheating because i have a dream- to be healthy and happy again.

my plan for tomorrow is basically the same as it was for today,
