Week seven...of the rest of my life.

It's Monday and I'm here again.
This week was not so good. I weighed in again and am now 98.3kg which is a GAIN of 1.4kg.
Hmmmm.
Where did I go wrong?
Well, several ways;
  1. I started weighing more often than weekly and that seems to mess with my head a bit as weight does fluctuate daily.
  2. Then I find myself putting more pressure on myself and then try and cut down on my points which inevitably leads to disaster.
  3. I seem to have forgotten that I am supposed to be vegan and that leads to all sorts of temptation. This brings me to point number 4...
  4. I had a seminar on Wednesday and the lunch was catered. There were a lot of pastries which are a weakness for me and I ate them even though I could have easily left them as I was not that tempted. I think that I felt entitled to have them as I have not eaten that kind of cafe food for a long time.
  5. I ate a bit  too much at the church lunch and even went there with the unrealistic hope of just eating salad.
  6. I seem also to have forgotten to have a cooked meal for breakfast and instead I have been eating toast which is not as filling.
  7. Instead of leaving my mistakes behind and just moving on, I have been over thinking them and then trying to compensate. Never works.
  8. I didn't pray with my friend this week, as I was working.
I have not been completely off track, but enough to mess things up (temporarily).
Some good things I have done this week:
  1. I have walked Max the Dog several times.
  2. I phoned my friend on Saturday and we prayed on Sunday.
  3. On Sunday I ate really well, despite going to a Tupperware party.
  4. Today, Monday, I became really stressed as it rained again and some of the streets were flooded again. Most of the day I felt stressed and depressed and I really (and I cannot stress this enough) had the urge to medicate it with food. You will be glad to know that I did not do this.
So, that's it. This week I am really determined to work hard and have a good eating week.
All prayer is gratefully accepted.
Love Annie xxx
