Is self-restraint with the frozen desserts?
Thank you all for your lovely comments on my last couple of blogs. I went for my riding lesson and really enjoyed it, although my legs are still aching and I have some nice bruises!! I just have to find out now whether they will let me have lessons, or whether i’ll have to lose more weight first.
My eating this week hasn’t been great, the junk has crept in most days and I don’t mean 100 or 200 calories. I know what i’m like and I should know better, but if I buy anything to keep in the house it ends up being eaten within a day or so. So I bought a box of small ice cream bars - should have easily lasted me a week, but no I ate them in one night! I don’t beat myself up for walking to the shop to buy a small chocolate bar or something, but I need to remind myself I can’t keep anything in the house with the intention of eating it slowly over a week or so, it just doesn’t work with me. Yes I know I should have more self-restraint but I don’t. So for the last couple of days I haven’t let myself go near any shops so I can’t creep in and buy a treat.
Anyway this week is a new week, i’ve weighed in and am just so glad I didn’t gain. I need to be strict about not eating over 1500 on any day. My flatmate goes back to work this week, so doing my exercise at home can become a habit again, rather than trying to fit it in when she’s not around. For a month or so anyway before my timetable changes.
I have three medical appointments this week, but hopefully everything is on track for me to return to uni in Oct. So now all I have to get sorted is moving (my flatmate is trying to sell the flat) and my money as I haven’t had an income over the summer and will have less funding this year as i’m repeating some study. I don’t usually ask this, but please keep me in your prayers. After getting my health sorted I don’t want a lack of finances to stop me completing my degree.
Have a great weekend everyone!

OH, I know how those ice cream bars can get you. I don’t know if they have them in the UK, but here I can get Weight Watcher’s frozen desserts, and they are not only YUMMY, but also low in points (ie calories and fat). Maybe you could find something like that? They also sell them in smaller packages, like packages of two or four.
Anyway, I’m so glad you enjoyed your riding lesson! Keep up that positive attitude, I know you can do this! Hugs!
I can’t have ONE bite, or I’ll eat the box. I can’t open the door even a little crack. I have to push against it with all my strength. I binge and I don’t throw it up. The behavior is not a normal approach to eating.
I am glad you are still riding.

I buy those packages with the intent of, I’ll eat ONE a day. That one turns into 5. It blows, but i just cannot buy them.
I do the same thing with the “treat” food…what happens with me is that I decide it might not be such a good idea that I might not be able to eat it responsibly so I need to get rid of it fast…so i eat it all at once that way I wont be tempted tomorrow…LOL What a joke…I must think I am an idiot…LOL
I can’t buy a box of anything and expect it to last. I absolutely hate the BOGOF (buy one get one free) offers you find in the ice cream cabinet at the supermarket in the UK you you end up with 20 bars instead of ten. Or those, buy two, get third free, because I’ll eat them all, yep all 30, probably in the space of a day or so.
I will think positive thoughts and send strength to you (I am a humanist so I don’t pray in the conventional sense). Just think of me when you go see those ice cream bars on sale. I have a pound of ugly flab for every one of those boxes of ice cream bars I have consumed, and it absolutely was not worth it.
Or think of the horse riding and realise you can’t eat boxes of ice cream and be light enough to take those riding lessons.
I so know how that is! I do the same thing and it always drives me mad. I did this with a box of Wheat Thins a few weeks back. I decided that I will never again buy Wheat Thins until I hit my final end goal! I just can’t do it…they sit there in the cupboard calling to me allllllll day long. I GOTTA eat em’ lol.
oooh I love the weight watchers cookie covered ice cream bars. I have really had to slam my own hands to keep from having more than one a day. Sometimes I will have 2 a day.
I use to have a cheeze it addiction. I NEVER buy those things now. I full well know I cannot put the box down…ever.. lol
You are doing great though…you know what throws you off & that is half the battle.
I am glad you got to go for a riding lesson…that is awesome! Sounds like things will be easier for you soon!
I have done that before, one reason I don’t buy them much.
I am so jealous, would love a riding lesson, cool!
I am like that with oreos they are my downfall. They speak to me in a secret language (not literally or I would be in ahome) I will pray for you that everything gets sorted.
