Focusing on the Positive
Well I went well over my points today! Had at least twice as many as I'm meant to have. But I'm not going to worry! Basically had a healthy breakfast and lunch - had some biscuits in between (not a whole packet though! YAY Me! Lol)... and then had dinner out with a friend. Went to Pizza Express which was gorgeous - but I didn't realise how high in points they are!! Oh well, I now know for next time to either save points, or just stick to pub grub! lol
I'm not going to let it worry me though - it was just one day off. It may mean that I put weight on, or don't lose as much (I'm half expecting to put weight on anyway as I was on CD, even though only for four days)... But I had a lovely day, didn't binge... I've personally written everything down that I have had - and just because I've had a lot of points doesn't mean I'm going to think "stuff it" and continue chowing down food.
To be honest I think this is quite a healthy view to have. I've looked through my eating out guide, and have an idea of which places are best to avoid, or prepare for. Next time I think we may go Italian... Sometimes we go out every Friday, sometimes we don't. I don't actually see the harm in going out and enjoying a meal - it's not every day!
It's bizarre. Before I would have beaten myself up for it. Called myself a pig, or binged for the rest of the evening - but I still feel in control. It's a fantastic feeling!
Sorry, just wanted to share that with everyone! lol Even going over my daily points by so much - I'm still focussing on the positive!
I use most of my 35 weekly flex points every week and still lose weight.
