Day 3
Sooo many nice things!
(Still 17st 4)
Why is it when you can't have something you want it all the more?
The problem I have is temptation! When your job relies on you spending most of your time in stores packed to the rafters with convenience foods, Impulse snacks, Alcohol etc... you know you your going to need discipline.
Imagine if you will........Your feeling a bit peckish and you walk into the store, The first thing that hits you is the smell of freshly cooked bread or pies the next thing you see is rows of brightly coloured confectionary all seemingly calling your name! At this point I am normally offered a coffee....great a distraction....wrong the offer of a coffee comes with the offer of sampling the latest hit in the store and you know its not going to be a banana! more likely a chocolate muffin or triple choc cookie!
I work in a hostile environmet for those of us unfortunate enough to have to watch our waistlines, an environment designed to bombard your senses from the moment you enter the store, to test your resolve with brightly coloured keenly priced impulse bargains ready to jump off the shelves and onto your waistline.
Over the next 12 months if I am to be successfull and achieve my goals this is just one of the barriers I will have to overcome. If only chocolate and cheese were slimming foods! So please if your ever granted 3 wishes forget world piece and switch the calories between veg and chocolate........oh happy thoughts!
