Happily cruising along...

Things are going along nicely.   I am really enjoying this diet / change in lifestyle.  That is saying something!  I am very much in control of my eating not the other way round for a change.  I can choose to listen to my food cravings in the middle of the afternoon give in or go and find something physical to do instead.  I haven't been in control of my eating in a very long time! 

I now allow myself to have normal food when I go out.   I had Italian (pasta and garlic pizza) on Wed night and then ended up having Indian on Sat night.  In the past as soon as I have tasted this food I want more of it and tend to slip out off my diet and be back at square one.  But, yay for me, I am in control!  So when home again I am back to my strict regime and all is good!  I feel better eating the food that is on my diet than eating the other.  It tasted lovely and I enjoyed my meal without feeling guilty.  My body may reject me a bit the next day or so due to it not being used to eating pasta and cream sauces.  But I am not badgering myself over what I ate.  The next food I have is the healthy option and my body thanks me.

A little update... after 3 weeks I have lost a total of 4kgs and lost 4cm around my waist.  I may put a little on in the next few days due to the Italian and Indian food.  But it will come off again. 

So happily cruising along...
