The Friday feeling

I've had an awesome week, relishing the feeling of being back in control and feeling good about 'me' again.

It's now Friday and self sabotage thoughts start to hit me; "I've worked so hard all week and I deserve a treat", "I need a glass of vino to relax after my week", "curry night should be ok?" , "I want today to feel special and different from the normal working day". The problem with these thoughts is I know they are 'normal' and yes the weekend is different from the working week, the problem is my own mind. I have learnt that until I know my control button is fully switched on and I can have just 'a treat' and not turn Friday night, Saturday day, Saturday night, Sunday day and Sunday night to restart Monday hopelessness off. I have to respect myself and get control and discipline back into by brain with alcohol and food. Some people may read this and relate whilst others may not understand... control is such a hard thing self control and the battling with food. Half the time it's denial and not realising the food you put into your body; understanding calories and health benefits etc of certain foods is important. I'm taking upon myself to learn more about food and the benefit of healthy eating. For those that are interested I'll share some facts soon!

Part of this is why Cambridge weight plan works for me; I have 3 products and a 200cal meal on step 2. All my products are nutritionally balanced and give me all I need with the bonus of a small meal. This is all I'm allowed and I don't have to challenge myself with lots of temptation and choices till I know I'm ready. Stick to plan... drink my water and enjoy the feeling of control and clean insides!  

So, here I am staving the feeling to sabotage my awesome week, the question is how strong am I? What do you think.....
