My challenge

Had a really bad day yesterday, calories were horrific, if only I could get over eating for the sake of it, or because of emotional eatiing, biscuits are my real problem, anyway I've started calorie counting and I have exercisied thiis morning, my problem is the afternoon, thats when I eat biscuits, I dont get out much, sure it would help but not so easy to do.  Decided to use my journal to write about how I am feeling emotionally and why! in the hope that it helps.

I am having the same challenge Ruth. Lately, my appetite has increased and is so hard to control and my portions are larger. This is not easy.

Meal Plan! Your best friend in the world is preplanning and precooking your meals into portion controls. It is a pain in the butt to prepare but it helps a lot in keeping your calories balanced and under control.
As for the biscuits, they are not the best food during a diet or lifestyle change but you can still enjoy them in controlled amounts. For example: I LOVE CHOCOLATE!! But I don’t have the best control. So we bought very small ones and before I can eat 1 I need to exercise out how many calories the chocolate has. That way I ‘earn’ the chocolate and I don’t kill my calories budget.
