Y'know, it's going alright

Well, that makes it sound better than it is. This week hasn't been a success so far. Most of the day yesterday was fine. Didn't leave 1/5th of my dinner last night as it was so tasty (salmon, fine beans, new potatoes and carrots - yum). But that wasn't anything to write home about as the portion size was good.

But snacked in the evening on just about the only thing I could find to snack on - cheese slices and sandwich ham. Like, why? It's not the worst snacking in the world - the quantity was low and cheese and ham isn't the worst thing in the world - but it was so unneccesary - I mean, I was doing so well during the day. Grrrr.

Even worst was the fact that I successfully hid my snacking from B and a friend who was round (it was opportunistic, admittedly, it was while I was making tea). But if ever there was a sign that your eating is slightly skewed, it would be hiding your eating.

I think my worst ever point was grabbing a flapjack at work a few months back, and then taking it and eating it in the loo, so that no-one would see me doing it. Not good. Frankly secret snacking is up there with destructive binging in the scale of unhealthy attitudes to food in my eyes.

Still, onwards and upwards - today is going well. SlipFast this morning, plus cycled in (despite having a torn calf muscle) - and had a sweetener in my oh-so-strong coffee today. So let's hope today is better.

You picked an opportune moment with the flapjack - I'm amazed I didn't catch you in the act.
