It’s only something little but I’ve realised I need to pat myself on the back in cases like this so this is me doing just that.

Hubby says to me a little while ago (while lying on the couch with his injured foot elevated) ” I think it could be nice for us to have some cake and ice-cream now” and what do I say? ” Yep okay I can get you some cake and ice-cream” and so I did just that…just got him a bowl of cake and ice-cream and limited myself to a tiny piece of cake and about a teaspoon of ice-cream as I was dishing his up. I was actually able to leave it at just that! yay for me!

I didn’t give in like I usually do and have some because he was, nor did I succumb to the “it will be better once it’s gone so I might as well have some” thought. I’ve done that so often in the past after DH has done something like buy ice-cream as a treat, I start thinking once the ice-cream is finished then I’ll start again….and I never do, it just becomes a never-ending downward spiral.

While today hasn’t been the best eating wise I did limit myself a lot better than I have other days. I’ll get there eventually, baby steps…baby steps.

I have also been good with my water intake. Both yesterday and today I have managed to finish a 1.25L  bottle of water which is a huge achievement for me.

I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning and I have no expectations but hopefully, hopefully I won’t have too much of a gain if it is a gain. Either way I have to stay strong and keep in mind why I’m doing this..this is for myself so I am the best version of me I can be. This is for me and it is for my son.

I’ll let you know how I get on with weigh in tomorrow evening.

Ta ta for now
