To that end, I went protein high yesterday. I had cooked ham in the morning, to try to keep the mad hunger from the previous day at bay. It worked up to a point. Certainly, I was grand till about 1 o'clock. Then I had my usual cherry tomatoes and carrots. I also had an apple. By 2.30pm, I was eyeing up the jelly sweets again. But counting the calories, and knowing that I'd never have enough for a proper dinner if I ate them, I just about managed to resist temptation. Proud of myself!
Then TMM made dinner. Chicken, boiled baby potatoes, carrots, broccoli and samphire with gravy. That's the sort of dinner I missed the night before, when I went out for coffee, hearty, healthy and filling. Although all my cals were used up, and I'd none left to have some of the dark choc that TMM bought me, I didn't go to bed hungry.
This morning, I didn't want to go down the ham route again. Too much very processed meat isn't good. So I fancied scrambled eggs instead. That always fills me up for a few hours. I had to be a bit more organized to have time, but it was worth it.
I feel good about this week's efforts. I'm very hopeful for a decent loss, though I try to tell myself that it's any loss that counts, i.e. going in the right direction rather than the amount lost. But I know that that's bollocks. Who wouldn't choose to lose a few pounds every time if it was possible?
