Then there's the experimental things.....I recently decided to have a go at my own version of low syn cheese cakes.....using lemon Greek yoghurt, and ginger nuts. I figured, 2 ginger nuts would be ok, I could factor that in to my 'naughties' - but the shop didn't have any - so I bought some ginger snap type biscuits instead - and you needed more than 2 to make a half decent cheese cake base. Did I mention after telling my husband not to eat them, I then ate the whole pack myself.....:-(
So, the following day, I decided, I would try again, the previous days version one cheesecake, was er, shall we say, a bit rubbery......I bought a pack of ginger nuts ready for the base, and ate the whole packet.......EPIC FAIL!
So, group rolled round, I knew it would be a gain, even though I expected it, and I knew I totally deserved it, from the junk I had shovelled in - I felt really fed up after standing on the scales, especially when I saw I had slipped back up into the next stone, which means I am now just under the original 5 stone I had lost :-(
So it was with what I can only assume are SW lady's psychic powers that she spoke about self sabotage in group - we all had the chance to tell the group what we were doing, and what we planned to do about it......one lady pointed out that you need to love you inner self - how right was she? The only person losing out from me shoving all the rubbish down my cake hole - is me!
For me - that means knowing that be it right or wrong, I can not control myself around certain foods - ginger nuts being one of the long list......other things are most chocolate unless it is Cadburys or Galaxy which I can take or leave, most savoury snacks, nuts, bread, cake, the little meringues from the bakery section......are you getting the picture?
So, in order to stop self sabotaging, I need to make sure that I don't buy the stuff that I can't control - you see, I kid myself that I can eat one 2 fingered kit-kat, or a couple of ginger nuts. I'm just lying to myself really.
I thought I would go back to what I did when I first started - my only 'naughties' that I kept in stock, were the SW caramel bars, and Curly Wurlys so that I avoided temptation. The caramel bars are far to sweet to have more than one at a time, and Curly Wurly's - well they are probably my least favourite chocolate ever, but if I desperately need a chocolate fix, they take the edge off, without me wanting to eat the whole 5 pack!
So, I've just done the shopping.....Curly Wurly's were number one on the list.
I'm planning on liking myself a bit more this week - starting with a personal training session tomorrow - eek!
