Dear all,
Thanks for your replies.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm working very hard on this, considering that it is my last lap. I'm proud of myself today as I resisted chicken drumlets, a chocolate fudge cake and tiramisu! When my friend ordered tiramisu, I got reminded of the dream that I had with a whole big tiramisu in front of me! So it was like deja vu cos when the tiramisu arrived on the table, it was like saying "eat me! eat me!" Luckily beforehand, I told my two other friends to help me resist the temptations as they knew I was on the program. So when my 3rd friend offered me the desserts, my two other friends took away the fork from me. So it was much easier for me as I was drilling into my head not to eat those desserts. So for the next 15 minutes, I was fighting a battle and as the time went on, it got much easier! =)
I'm so proud of myself. =) I'm going to work much harder on this. I'm also manipulating my eating of crackers. Usually, I will start on my crackers at brunch like about 2 hours before my lunch. But now, I'm having them much later in the afternoon like after one so that I can have more crackers for the latter part of the day.
I'm also drinking more green tea. Black tea is fine but too strong a tea gives me gastric and makes me hungrier. I'm also trying to limit my drinking of black teas as I realized that if I drink too much, it has a constipation effect.
And yes,
diet coke works wonders for me too.
I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow and I hope I will see a lower reading. (*cross fingers*) I think if I see a lower reading, I will be more unwilling to deviate for Christmas. I'm having two early Christmas dinners next week as my family will be away for a holiday during the Christmas week.
But I wish to thank the two of you for your kind support. Seriously Chelsea... I hung onto your words throughout today and made it a point to brainwash myself that thou shalt not deviate.
And yes dreamer, keep going. I myself have been so surprised at how long I persevered through. When I first started on this program, my consultant told me to be very patient and determined because it is going to be a very looooong process (I will never forget how he said 'long'.) But the key thing is, if we keep on trying, we will just reach the end.
Oh well... tomorrow is another challenge. I told myself that if I were to lose another kg, I'm going to buy the punnet of Aust peaches I saw at a supermarket today. They smell good and sweet. And it costs Sing$8.65 (rather expensive for a punnet of 8 small peaches.) I'm looking forward to treating myself that! =)
Have a good weekend all!
