Finding Comfort

"WARNING, step away from the fridge" *cue ridiculous alarm, that could double for a David Guetta song*

Today has been tough, I could have happily eaten my own body weight in chocolate, which is a lot of chocolate! But I have finally recognised that the reason for this and that is, that I've been a bit bored! Boredom isn't something that happens to me very often, I am well adept at amusing myself and can always find something to do! Today though, I decided I'd treat myself to a rare day of doing nothing, turns out, I was pretty bored after about an hour!

As I felt myself wander towards the fridge and open it to see what I could find, or better still dig through the freezer to see what treats I had hidden away from my "naughty" days, turns out, I'd taken precautions against this as there was nothing naughty in there! The irony is, I know that if I did allow myself to go off my diet, Id just feel even more rubbish on Tuesday when I have to get on the scales.

So I decided to take some decisive anti-boredom action. Cyril has been walked and we've played a ridiculous amount of fetch, in fact at one point he threw himself on the ball as if to declare the game over! Maybe if I'm good later, he will let me play again!



My treat to myself for getting to my 10% goal was the "True Blood" box set, I've watched so many episodes today, I swear I've started to talk in a Southern accent and I'm pretty convinced my next door neighbour is a "shifter"



I've had a bath and read a magazine and I think I've just about combated my boredom!

Please don't think that as I write this, I consider myself some dieting guru, because I don't! I'm just someone sharing her battle, because I genuinely think there's a lot of nonsense around when it comes to diets. Unlike a Hollywood film, where the end result would be me getting to my goal weight, Gerard Butler falling in love with me and everyone that was ever mean to me getting their comeuppance, I don't know how my journey will end, a vision of where I want to get to.

Obviously if Gerard reads this and decides he quite fancies me anyway, then I'm fully available to meet him for a brew, although I will not be tempted by a biscuit, well maybe I would be if he promised to help me earn some bonus points!
