I am still no further forward with my get fab for Christmas regime! That will come as no surprise to anyone I’m sure. The urge for a large honey sandwich is just about overwhelming me and it’s only mid morning. Mmmmm fresh soft brown bread, smothered in olivani lite ( I do try!!) and dripping with lovely golden liquid honey, sweetness..mmmmmmmm..drool – straight into the Homer Simpson response.
“STOP IT! Right now!!!! – it’s Carrot sticks for you my girl!” blares Group Sargent Major Conscience.
“In fact forget the carrot sticks – get off that flabby butt and take the dog for a walk! Hup! Two! Three! four…!”
“Mam!, YES! Mam!”
Then I start to hear the “We-ee want our Mol-enberg” bread ad in my head. I try to change it to “I-I want my c-o-ole-slaw” but it’s just not the same – I’m doomed.
So I sit here for another 3 hours feeling guilty then finally give in and have a sandwich…
You know, it’s amazing, the minute the word ‘diet’ or phrase ‘loose weight’ enters my head I instantly become ravenously hungry. I can go for weeks and not really think about food or meals or the lack of them even. I Just have to begin to think the word “Di…et” and BANG! Desperate for a muffin, or “Time to loose a few kilos” WALLOP! – craving caramel slice. It doesn’t matter how small or quiet the thought is or even that I don’t finish it, the result is always the same. Out of control grazing!
This time of year is particularly bad of course. I start buying the Christmas chocolates in around late October on the pretense that I’m spreading the costs out. You do it too huh?
“Well if I buy some now I won’t have to pay for everything all at once in later!” Shrewd thinking Arty!
What always happens is that I keep having to replace the stash (for some unknown reason!) and end up buying about 65 separate lots of “Christmas chocs” and spend a small fortune.
“So where’s the problem?” I hear you ask?
Well, depending on your views on:
a) addiction,
b) self image/body fat index thingy
c) healthy eating habits
d) stupid waste of money
There may or may not be a problem (discuss!)
Actually I made a pact with myself last year not to do “Merry Crimble choccies” at all – no-one needs them right!
I will just work my way through 8 or 9 wonderful fruit cakes with almond and butter icing. Well it isn’t Christmas without the cake is it! mmmmmmmcake…..
Right off to walk the dog. And I’m really going to start today – REALLY
I thought you might find this info useful – or not?
