I have found it surprisingly easy to stay within calories today. So much so that I wonder if I'm counting them correctly. Perhaps I'm underestimating how much I'm eating. I know getting up late and having only black coffee and a banana has me using minimal calories at the start of my eating day, but I was still left with over 300 even after I'd counted a large serving of homemade tomato and basil soup and a fish and potato dinner. I do honestly think I counted everything though. So I have plenty of my allowance left for a low fat hot chocolate later. I was going to buy a bar of very dark chocolate but thought I'd leave thst as a treat for another day. I had some yesterday and I don't want to get to the point where I have or want it every day. That leads me to having a sense of entitlement and then I feel deprived when I don't fulfil it.
I'm trying to concentrate, not on how big I am, but on getting smaller and not getting ang bigger. It's a less depressing perspective, much more positive. It's like I was saying a couple of days ago. I feel better when I think of not needing to continue looking for bigger sizes in my clothing. I'm around a size twenty-four, depending on tops or trousers and the shop. That's more than big enough.
I'm feeling in control today. It comes from the positivity of being within my calorie allowance and the short walk that I took with The Main Man earlier. It was only to the shops, but previously I'd have avoided it,n o t wanting to get red faced and sweaty. I felt better for getting out into the air,albeit briefly.
