Yes Unna boredom is evil! When we actually have enough time to stop and smell the roses, we have time to think about all the lovely food we can ingest to satisfy our every hunger pang. We have the money and like you said instantly ready convience foods. In the old days (I say like I were there) if you wanted fast and instant food you'd better pick up an apple, unless you had the time and energy to prepare something more exciting from scratch lol I agree with your theory :hyper::D

My exercise is a touch away from being non existant. I have adjusted Jamie Eason's 12 week programme into a 1 day/week programme :o I do plan to add more days but it is worlds better than nothing. I spend 1 1/2-2 hours on saturday doing a very heavy weight total body workout. My legs ache long into the week. I don't do any cardio at the moment except occassionally running at top speed to catch my train, in today's weather I think I could count it as a cardio session :D

Today I am under my calories by quite a lot but i'm stuffed. I'm not too worried because I know my pms symptoms increase my hunger and I will more than make up for such a deficit soon.

Oh yeah the charity cake sale. I was promptly reminded that I'd better secure any cakes I wanted to buy before they were gone *hello rumbly tummy all of a sudden* I saundered over to the staffroom and see the table full of cakes and elaboratly iced muffins. I take my time to stare and imagine the taste (nothing like a bit of torture in the morning) and choose a plain victoria sponge and wrap it up in a napkin "for lunch".

Later on I decide to have lunch on a nearby park bench because of the glorious weather and fear of people who look through bins and find perfectly good cake thrown away. I decide I have to ditch the cake straight away because I haven't yet eaten my lunch and i'm famished. I walk to the bins, take one last look at the cake, debate whether or not to just eat it. Bring the cake closer to my mouth nibble a tiny corner then immediately throw it into the bin. I felt victorius. I won the battle and came away with a only a scratch. I didn't even bother to count it as pathetic a nibble it was. Something about me just couldn't let go without even a taste. This is obviously something I need to work on but I am happy for now. I really thought I was going to conviince myself to eat it but I just kept repeating "instant gratification or rewarding weight loss?)
Oh yes, then I turn around and see one of the teachers looking in my direction (did he see?) :fr:

This past week i've been battling crazy pms hunger (i did mention that didn't I) It's just been so long since i've actually tried to control it that I was very unprepared.
I let the bloat and the hormones drag me down well no more! tom has been in town for a day and i'm ready to show myself who the real boss is. As you can proably guess food has not been perfect, i'm not quite sure what to blame the bloat on (let's just blame it on the tom )

Today I plan to eat egg salad for lunch and chicken with tomato and mozzerella for dinner. Tea. coffee and water inbetween :) Happy tuesday!

Hiya Supergirl - I wondered who dragged you outta down, now I know the culprit was Tom! :)

I think when he finally arrives, the craziness goes out the window and we regain our control.

Congrats for kicking his butt - getting back in control. Have a, well, super week.... :)

Thanks Chicksinger! Well i'm trying, I feel like i'm riding one of those rodeo bull rides and just managing to stay on lol

I had my first great day in quite a while yesterday. My appetite is back down to normal. Yesterday for lunch I had a pitta bread stuffed with tomatoes and ham and eggs (sounds kinda yuck but was actually nice) and then for dinner I had a small portion of chips, hand-made lean beef burgers with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes and onions and home made wheat buns.
Still not weighing yet as I can still feel the bloat :S
