Up and down, down and up

I seem to manage to hover around the 70kg-line week after week. Well I guess considering the last few weeks of no pointing and next to no exercise I should be grateful and give myself a pat on the back for not going overboard too much! 

Incidentally, today's task in my CBT book is to give myself credit for what I accomplish, however small. 

For example, today I had my porridge breakfast and not Pret breakfast (well done!), I was in the office at 7.30am to get stuff out the way (nice one!) and I've not snacked yet (ok so there's nothing to snack on but still - keep up the good work!)

I am sooo close to be able to wear my aspirationals (my bag of size 12 trousers). I can do them up but I look ridiculous, muffin tops galore. And sitting down - don't even go there. 

But hey - a few months ago I couldn't even get them over my hips - so WELL DONE again for getting this far!

Just remember this

As I'm sat here, panicking slightly over tonnes of work that need doing, just dying to reach for that comfort food calling me from the kitchen, I find myself repeating over and over what may well be my new mantra for the coming months:

If hunger isn't the problem, food is not the solution. 

Thanks to *Bitch Cakes* for that piece of wisdom!
