Oh god I don't feel good AND I'm exhausted. I know straight away I will be bold today. YOu what I discover today - that I cannot blame my OH for my eating habits. We miss breaky at hotel and while I'm not hungry OH says he is. I suggest McDonals at 11am. We stuff our faces and then drive 5 hours home - trip from hell. Munched a few jellys. Arrive home and flake on couch. Jmousey talks and talks abbout takeaway, OH isn't sure what he wants. At 5pm, Jmousey takes battered prawns and fries out of freezer which we eat with gusto ( I eat most as he says they taste weird) with garlic mayo. ARound 6pm Jmousey asks has OH decided what he wants as takeaway and he replies, I thought that we had dinner. SHOCK. I am bad temepered - no takeaway fix on Sunday night. Immediately I go to kitchen and behave like a crazy person. Handfuls of cashew nuts, half tub of quark cheese....I realise that I view Sundays as a day to go nuts. If my OH doesn't want to - I feel hard done by. I try not to be bad tempered about this because if I'm very honest- I'm not even hungry. I contemplate putting on a pizza and abstain. I am appalled that I have constantly blamed the other half for my takeaway habit when really I view sundays as a pigout day and use his habits as an excuse. So when I didn't get a takeaway, I tried to pig out - luckily we didn't have a huge amount of food and I certainly wasn't in the mood for vegetables.

So the day looked like this:
bfast: big mac( 550), large fries ( 500)
lunch: Fries ( 300), tempura prawns( 300)
Dinner: cashew nuts ( 180), quark (90

So the day was 1900 cals which I know the McDonalds had a lot to do with but it was so early in the day I will not be full to sustain my liquid fast so that will be a challenge Monday.

I give the day 3/10 because I've suddenly realised my Sunday relationship with food is totally out of control. Not really sure how to mend this to be honest as it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm hung over, tired or absolutely fine - it's a habit I have created to replace my alcohol which used to be my Sunday treat but gave that up. I instead have replaced it with food. I'm not a great cook but maybe I need to cook something delicisou Sundays to combat this - I need to get to the route of this - that's for sure as I feel a bit psycho after this realisation :?:

PS my weekly total was 9033 cals which averages at 1290 per day - definitely need to get that down.
