day 13 - exercise, my weakness
Everything is just going so well at the moment! food under control, portions under control and eating slowly is really helping with that as I am full and havne't eaten much! not hungry all the time. Not thinking of food all the time. And have lost about half a stone! Hoorah!
For the newbies - this isn't my first time round, but it has totally sunk in! Eating natural foods - not wanting the chips when I go out, eating slowly, drinking lots of water - my favourite tools. I am stopping and thinking before I eat - but haven't had to do that too often as haven't been tempted to any nasties inthe cupboard. Have set food plans and stuck to them. Also haven't had any alcohol for 2 weeks which makes alot of difference - will have to watch that over Christmas.
I really feel the programme working for me and will give me the strength I need over the Christmas period. I have discovered about myself that if I don't start snacking I don't find myself eating the whole tin of roses/quality street/mince pies/peanuts whatever! And satsumas are my best friends!
Food for today:
grapefruit and best friend for breakfast
one low fat sausage, one egg, small portion of baked beans and wholemeal pitta
chineses - no fried stuff!
Just got to get the exercise sorted - loved playing squash last week and also squeezed in an aerobics class but am so busy this week will probably onbly get one session in so will have to make sure I get some walkign in where I can.
Have a great weekend all

Because of the pressure of this group I am doing a little bit of exercise and even this short session helps me to feel better.

that WAS impressive - i have sent it on to my partner and asked him to consider it for a few of his own issues including a fear of flying. I am really going to give it a good go. I think Gary Craig was the man that Vikki was talking about. I have a list of about 3 or four things that I think it might help me with, including some physical pain, hormonal issues (PMS) and of course, my low self esteem and anxiety - and what I love is that it fits so nicely into the PCTV programme - it is another tool in my toolbox!
Thanks again - and good luck with it for yourself. I was very pleased to hear that you could feel some benefit after just the first try.
On Friday I went Christmas shopping with my other half and I normally hate shopping with him - he is so slow and can't make his mind up and we wander around for 2 hours aimlessly - but the moment I got really stressed about it I just started tapping in the mall and I felt better within seconds! I did get a couple of strange looks, but it was worth it!
tenham um bom dia
