Happy Valentines

 14th February and I’ve still kept to my health and fitness regime along with no booze since 2nd Jan. I’m very proud of myself.

Today I’ve got to keep the “guilt” demon in check. Today I’d planned a couple of “off plan” treats due to a family Valentine meal we’re all cooking. When in lockdown I feel like celebrating these occasions more than usual, I suppose it breaks up the mundaneness of everything. 

Kids planned a surprise by baking 3 types of cakes for us today and the youngest is so pleased he keeps asking us if we want more.  What a sweet idea and how lovely! Now I feel so guilty for eating it and wanting more. How do I keep it in check? How will I feel tomorrow after so much indulgence? 

Keep the guilt monster in check. So hard. Emotional control and food is so hard. Perhaps calling it a “monster” is half the issue? Self control and guilt is a balance I need to keep in check. I will do this. It’s not difficult really is it? 

My boys did something lovely. I enjoyed it. Move on.

I’m lucky to feel as loved as I am.
