munchies

have you ever had one of those days when you just feel like picking at food all day?
yesturday was one of those days for me. i soooo wanted to eat a chocolate, i dont know why and im telling you it was hard to resist walking to the shop to buy some but i did resist. i ate a freddo frog and loved every bit of it...problem was i wasnt completely satisfied, i kept looking through my cupboards to find something else that was yummy but low in points. in the end i made popcorn and munched on it till my heart was content! later that day i went for a walk, it really cleared my head, i guess i had been feeling a bit low and was doing what the old jacqueline would have done....eat! im so proude of myself for not giving in totally to temptation, instead of pigging out i made much healthier choices... on my walk i was thinking why didnt i just do something to get my mind off food, like call my mum or a friend or something...or play with shammah or clean the house instead of torturing myself with thoughts of food. it was a real lesson for me and one i will learn from.
today was a great day, took shammah to jungle gym with other mums and there kids from our church milestones group, the kids had a ball and it was great to catch up with my friends over a cuppa. i took my own snacks and sandwhich with me for lunch and im happy to say i didnt over indulge or feel envious of my friends eating chocolate biscuits.
it feels good to be incontrol of my thoughts and decisions! :)
