*Today was a hard day - I really wanted to EAT - it's the first day I felt tempted. I KNOW why - I had a tough day with the kids today, namely my 3 year old. She's darling but she's veeeeeeeeerrrrry trying and she was in the corner A LOT today, just a bad day all around and that makes me feel like eating - I get in the mindset of "I deserve this (food) after the day I've had!..." but I didn't give in....one day down...days like today will be hard for me.
I know what you mean! Good work, resisting the urge to reward yourself with food. With practice it'll get easier; I've found that finding something else to do (like posting on the board about how you feel) will help even more.
Is there anyway you could go swimming instead of walking until your feet are better? Must be very frustrating wanting to exercise but having a hard time because of foot problems.
Breakfast: Banana shake (7 oz banana, ½ cup 0% milk, ½ cup 2% plain yogurt, ice, vanilla extract). Lunch: 2 thin ham slices, 1½ oz gouda, 56 g whole wheat bread. Dinner: 1½ cups rice, 90 g tuna, ¾ cup peas. Drinks: 500 ml coffee, 2 litres water, 355 ml tin diet pop, 500 ml black tea, 500 ml Merlot. Okay, no more wine for a while....

Good job on the food, Jill. It's tough to make good picks on days out, but it looks like you nailed it.
I don't "get" peanut butter. It's so claggy in the mouth! I do use it in cooking though--it makes a really tasty sauce for veggies. Hubby adores PB and jelly sarnies, yet doesn't understand my love of Marmite. You North Americans!!
