There are some things you can only learn in a storm.
I’m trying to eat well at the moment but I’ll be honest and
say I’m not writing it down nor did I check the points in my meals yesterday as
both my dinner and tea were cooked for me .
It was so nice not to have to cook I have to say, shepherd’s pie for
lunch with veggies, erm yeah microwave in the bag veggies – why have I not
known about these before. Fresh pepared veggies
from Sainsbury’s that you just pierce and microwave for 3 minutes – how fab is
that! Why has no one told me about this
before, I don’t think I’ll ever cook veg on the hob again, they were perfect.
For tea one of my lovely members nipped me in a tray of
chicken curry and rice, so nice to get home and have my tea ready. I’ve been complaining all week actually in my
meeting, it’s not like I haven’t dropped enough hints about not having a
kitchen, and none of em have bought me my dinner J
honestly, I wouldn’t mind if subtlety was my thing.
So it keeps raining and we’ve all had enough of it I think,
we’d quite like our summer back, it seemed to end in June, I did even manage to
get me a bit of a tan in my back garden, but since then nothing. My poor garden is neglected – I’m a fair
weather gardener, so this weather is not helping with my usual summer activity,
at least I’m walking the dog that’s helping a bit. Yesterday I made an event in my group
suggesting we all stick together and survive this soggy summer, I found a nice
quote to use which said ‘without rain nothing grows, learn to embrace the
storms of life’. How true is that, summer is usually a time most of us struggle to stay on track, even
worse when it's not even sunny! Let’s
all survive it together? We've got this, don't give up, and let’s keep going...
Don’t think you’re the only one struggling (if
you are of course), I think Facebook and the meetings at time can be a bit
misleading if you’re only focusing on the members that are losing weight and
being successful! They’re there to
motivate you to get back on track not to make you feel bad because you’re struggling,
trust me, we all struggle at some point and if we don’t, then that person has
never really had a weight problem to start with because it’s not something that
can be ‘fixed’ as such, it’s something we learn to live and cope with. I’ll never be ‘cured’ or ‘fixed’ where my
eating habits are concerned, I love food – end of and I’ll have good weeks and
bad weeks but they’ll all be enjoyable weeks and I’ll never beat myself up over
my weight and my eating behaviour again.
My eating habits do not define me as a person, my weight does not define
me as a person! What does define you? Well that could be the subject of another
blog, another day, I’ve not got time for that this morning, got to get ready
for a 12 hour day. But I do like this
saying, two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your
attitude when you have everything.
I’ll leave you with that thought right
there, let’s focus on today BeYOUtiful, not on what we’ve done in the past, not
what we’re going to do in the future but the here and now of the moment.
