Cinema Food Ban

You know I totally love going to the cinema and when I do go, there's always a special I have... A Ben and Jerry's Core Sundae with Phish Food, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, fudge sauce, whipped cream and white chocolate polar bears. It's basically about two weeks worth of fat and sugar!

Now I was pretty impressed with myself when I went to the cinema last Friday and Sunday and had nothing at all but water. I don't know if I'm actually getting sick of the sundae, but I just didn't feel like it.

On that note, I've self imposed a ban on cinema food for the remainder of 2010. Trust me, that won't be easy as I want to watch Wall Street, Saw 3D, Action Replayy, Tees Maar Khan, The Social Network etc etc

Will let you know how I get on during my next visit.

Back on the wagon

I'm very proud of something I managed to achieve over the weekend. Now you know my style when I eat junk, I do it royally. When I'm bad with food, I'm REALLY bad. If I eat junk one day or go out or something, then I'll eat rubbish the next day, then the next day, then the next, until it turns into about five days straight gorging on takeaways, chocolate, drinks etc., which then results in lots of headaches and feeling lethargic too.

Now on Saturday, I had a wedding to go to. Even though I tried to be good, I ended up eating about three plates of starters, two main meals and lots of beer. When I woke up on Sunday, I was thinking about all the junk I could eat that day and the fact that I was going food shopping later and the cinema too (Ben and Jerry's!)

Something sensible finally took control of and said 'No, snap out of it. You ate loads of junk yesterday, you enjoyed it, GET OVER IT!!!'

And just like that, I did.

For the first time this year, I managed to have a day of binging which was just that. One day only. Nothing more. Sunday was back to some real, clean, healthy eating. When I stepped on the scales this morning, I was so much better for it. I'm feeling the extra energy too and I'm minus the headaches I get after junk.

I'm hoping I can use wisely and build in one day of 'relaxing' (not too much though!) so I don't go made without chocolate etc. Let's see how it goes.
