They went to press without my edits. 45 minutes effort lost in an over #busy day. Was no need to eat a few walnuts standing up. #chillaxman #Zen

Then the piece went #global so I edited my stuff in and we republished. #reallypreferaquietlife

Still a bit of an international journo #frenzy going on. *Credit* for helping adrenaline to dissipate by taking a walk along the shore in the frosty early morning as the sun rose higher.

I saw the sugar-free hot chocolate drink in the cupboard. I heard BeverleyJoy's voice. Almost in a trance I put the jar in the bin. #credit. And many thanks!

Gotta go out and shovel snow. "Yay for the opportunity for upper body workout," he lied. #Knowingly

In the big city for a bike ride and trip to WholeFoods.... Staring down the vegan pastries.... reminded myself it's easier to burn off the ones I don't eat. #itISaboutme

As I acknowledged my current stress level this morning my first thought....

Makes me feel like adopting a new dog

PS happened just as I was driving by a PanaraBakery! Now that is some changed thinking!

Really wanted a packet of hot cocoa mix in my coffee yesterday, but thought "no you didn't write it in the plan".

Good work, Donna.

Still looking for nice food to eat when I'm out and about in the countryside. 'Salad' is always so disappointing and I don't like coleslaw.

Halloween candy, sitting on the shelf. I'll feel better knowing it's not bonding with me! #gladtopassitup

Reality Check: Do you ever have the thought,“Just this one time won’t matter"?
Remind yourself that regardless of the situation, every time DOES matter. Every SINGLE time you withstand a craving, resist emotional eating, and say no to unplanned food, you increase the chances you will the next time. Each time you give in, you make it more likely you'll give in the next time, too.

Planning a quick sleep when I get home. More sleep might help me along when I get into the kitchen.

Did not buy anything other than a car wash from the garage this morning. Thought "I don't buy things here." Then "WE don't buy things here." #goodgroupthink
