Didnt buy the scales today
which isnt the end of the world, im going home to visit my mum for a a week for easter and thought rather than carry it all the way back to Essex i'l buy some tommorrow in town.
My mum never used to allow scales in the house, especially when i was a teenager, she thinks they can make young girls paranoid and obsessive over their weight. I think this is a really healthy view as we hear about anorexic teenagers all the time, caught up in this size 0 phenonemon. It wouldnt of helped me if i weighed myself everyday when i was younger, it could easly have become an obsession. However now im an adult and a lot more responsible i feel scales could really help my self esteem, and help keep me going with confidence.
I wont have easy access to a pc this week but will try to blog as much as possible, it helps me remind myself what im doing and keeps me focused on my goal.
This morning for breakfast i stuck by my rule of having a glass of milk, which was strangely enjoyable- since ive always convinced myself i didnt like milk on its own, it reminded me of my primary school days where you have a milk break towards the end of the day, and the chaos that ensued to get the best biscuit.
I also had two pure cod liver oil tablets and an apple. That was about 2 hours ago and im still not hungry!
I will have a sandwich for lunch/dinner and then im going to a friends house so il grab an apple for a snack. S'all good so far! But i havent done any excercise today, but will be walking a lot later this evening. I havent had a joint today either and im kinda dreading the munchies that i will inevitably get in the early hours of the morning. Hopefully and apple will be satisfactory enough.
I've thought of another way to help get my sugar fix without feeling guilty- JELLY. Its mainly water and carries very little calories for the size that it plumps up to. I love lime jelly! and will be buying some when i get back to Uni in a week. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thats all for now, im feeling really posistive and happy with myself today.

Scales are addictive. My in-laws bought us a set that zaps you with an electric current (through your feet) and tells you your body fat percentage. I weigh myself every morning and evening (back home from work). Perhaps I've a compulsion disorder of some sort. But because I've been doing this for so long I kind of know what the "right" parameters are for me...
Have a good break.
