Blooming Emotions!

Well, I had a message this week to say “Really looking forward to your next update” I wanted to reply with ‘Don't be , I don’t want to do one!” Then I remembered why I was doing this blog and it’s for me to keep a diary of the journey and to be honest with myself. This week has been a challenge emotionally and I’m sure I’m not the only one ( feels like it though) that when I’m emotional I turn into Tony the Tiger on a bad day! ( you many not have any idea who Tony the Tiger is , but it was a Frosties advert years ago). Only difference is , he used the so called Grrrrrrrrreat as a positive but mine was just a Grrrrrrrr and then I ate ! I’ve not taken any photos this week and made no effort apart from the cucumber in water ( Head in hands with shame) Why can one thing just set you off reeling in a completely different direction to the one you know you should be following? You know what you’re doing , you know how it’s going to make you feel, but you just do it anyway! Absolute madness isn’t it? And what’s even more ridiculous is that then you spend time being cross with yourself, which then ends up with your head in a family sized crisp bags or worse, but you still have that hope that when you get on the scales, with one eye shut that you would have lost weight!!

This week we’ve had a couple of occasions out, which never helps especially the set menus. Last night we had a takeaway which is a rarity as where we live they normally get lost on route , so when they do find us it’s like it came from Iceland! But again emotions, tiredness and the never ending pain in my legs , which makes me feel sorry for myself , I just could not be bothered to even think about what to eat, let alone prepare it.

So you’ll either think ‘what a fruitcake’ ( food again , sorry) or you may understand where I’m coming from but today is a new day and we start off with good intentions. I hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
