Treat yr Feet!

by Moptop on 04 Jun 2013, 19:54

Yesterday, I had a sudden descent into gloom and despondency but blogging about my state of mind helped enormously.

Today is a fast day - not easy when hormone are going haywire. I've walked about 4 miles and avoided food all day until 7pm when I had a light meal that came in under 400 cals. Lee-way for an apple before bed if my stomach starts grumbling.

I don't feel deprived today because I treated myself to a pedicure. No cakes, chocolate, biscuits or crisps but ten very pretty scarlet- tipped toes.

I am baking up a storm and listening to the radio - which is stopping the 'eating from evening boredom' in its tracks. The cakes are for a friend so I don't feel inclined to eat 'em.

At this rate, my halo will be blinding!

Still, what have I learned today? To exercise (walk) to take my mind off food on a fast day. To treat myself with something that will give me enjoyment for longer than the instant fix of chocolate. That sunshine chases away the hormonal gloom.
