Spent last weekend at friends surrounding by food & booze opportunities and I resisted them all. Didn't really even feel tempted.
Today I was at a Business Breakfast event and was there from 6.30am - had had shake before leaving the house. At 8am ish the brekkie was huge selection of croissants, danish and bacon sandwiches. Battled in my head re bacon sandwich... and decided half would be ok. But in the end I got a peppermint tea and got chatting and didn't have the little buttie.
| strength & control |
- habit
- comforting and great taste
- others having one- smelt good
But I didn't need it and the reasons I wanted it were not good enough at the moment!
Glad I resisted. I regained control.
Tomorrow night - another challenge - I am attending an awards dinner. Challenges>>>
1) the event is in a venue within the company I work for and until April I managed this venue
2) historically I have always taken an interest in the menu/wine and the catering team usually seek my feedback
3) I would feel 'rude' and even ungrateful for not eating
So my plan
1) have porridge and bar during the day
2) at dinner - drink sparkling water from the wine glass (will drive also)
3) eat some of the 'protein' element - starter & main - move 'carbs' around
4) say 'no thanks' to dessert
This is like a 'LL Light' Day I think. I have made this decision and will return to LLT plan on Weds. Will report back on Wednesday to ensure I am back on track. The LL forum are suggesting that any 'lapse' could challenge my success on the programme so I need to be really careful.
I believe I am strong enough to do as I have planned.
