Me too, for me it's the clod weather and terrible boredom. But the only thing stopping me is that we have no junk in the house and I would have to get dressed properly to go out and get something! And I barely lasted 2 days (I think it was 2...maybe 3??) before I fell off the wagon. DH doesn't help. He enables me and buys me the junk when I feel like it but I'm too lazy to go to the shops myself. The other day he got me a huge hamburger and chips for lunch. I wanted to say no, but he was so proud that he'd thought of me and brought lunch and I didn't have to make it!
With supressing hunger, when I was smaller, I used to have a drink of water and wait 15mins before I ate anything. Alot of the time, I was thirsty not hungry. And if I really was hungry, then I would have a green apple, few sticks of celery or a carrot, go out and do something like hang washing out or something before eating again and re-assess if I was hungry for more. Or try to distract yourself with things. Have a list of things you can do instead of eat. Or have a cup of soup, but the ones which are just the broth not with noodles or the creamy ones.
Really need to start taking my own advice again!!
I have been ok today. Not great, but haven't had anything bad. Just not really striving for the best balance of foods. I haven't had any fruit and have had too much carbs as usual! Not enough water either. No exercise at all. Ah well, at least I haven't had a hamburger and chips! Or chocolate, chips, lollies....or anything terrible like that. As much as I am dying to sit and eat all of the crap I can get my hands on! DH is going onto a few nights worth of night shifts now, which is where I fall down alot, due to being a bit of a single mummy and not getting alot of sleep, I don't cope with little sleep. So trying to mentally prepare myself!
