Health binge?!?

After last weeks weigh in I was on a roll and had a plan and that plan lasted for three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Now I am actually rather pleased with myself for that because its about the first time I have got through a weekend with out ending up drooling over the cake counter. I thought I had it sorted because I had cleared out the cupboards (trying very hard not to eat everything instead of throwing it away) and stacking them with healthly low fat food choices, believing that once my surroundings were sorted I would be okay but no it seems that my surroundings are only the tip of the iceberg. In the last couple of days I have chomped my way through healthy snacks galore, so I am still eating the amount of food to feed an African nation but now its just healthy. So today during one of my hand-mouth sessions I thought about why I was doing it and the reason - I WAS BORED - bored out of my mind, in fact so bored I could have chewed my arm off for a bit of entertainment. Crappy weather, baby fast asleep and the only things left to do were housework (arrrgggh!), assignments (AAARRRGGGHH!) or eat (mmmmmm). What is it about eating that feels so damn good? I wasn't chowing down on chocolate covered donuts I was eating crackers for goodness sake with some diet coke to wash it down! Now I thought that when you started eating healthy you didn't eat as much but no I can still put away a six pack of yoghurt as quickly as a six pack of beer (doesn't seem to have the same effect though). So two days till weigh in day and for now I am going to just keep my surroundings safe and next week I will work on why I eat. Just have to remember this weigh loss stuff will take some time and isn't a quick fix - I need chocolate!!
