Tah-dah!

And SallyO for their support) meant that today I have not only said 'No thank you' to ice-cream, home-baked lemon cake, chocolate brownies and sausage rolls (with very golden looking flaky pastry) but also had a black coffee instead of the glass of Pimms I was offered.
Yes, yes, the halo is sickening.
It was National Open Gardens Day so I pootled around several beautiful gardens where lots of home-baked goodies were on sale. I put money in the charity collection boxes but didn't put any of the goodies (and, believe me, they did look good) in my mouth.
I came home and carried on fasting until 8pm when I ate a salad of beetroot, avocado, tomatoes, salad leaves, peppers, mangetout, broad beans and prawns. Came in under 500 cals. I got a carb kick from the beetroot and broad beans, some healthy oils from the avocado and protein from the prawns. Kept away from refined sugars/starches which seem to be my nemesis. On the herbal tea now until bed time - does herbal tea come in Pimm's flavour? If not, I see a me-shaped gap in the market.
Feel MUCH better not being a prisoner to my appetite. I made the CHOICE not to be. And I've seen lots of really beautiful flowers, the rain stayed away and I spent time with friends.
Hope everyone else has had a good Sunday.
