Last night of the eat everything diet..

Tonight marks the last day of my Christmas festivities diet. Tomorrow I'm back on the normal foods. We have a pretty major Christmas table every year, laden with all kinds of chocolate and other treats and there's still a fair bit left. I can ignore it though for the most part. I'm not saying it's going to be easy to get back on the bandwagon, but as I have mentioned I'm actually looking forward to getting back to somewhat normality concerning food.

No more party foods or pasties and the like. Today hasn't been too, too bad. We had our traditional New year's roast (lamb). Pretty much stuffed me up for the day. I did have another bit of Christmas pudding mind. I'd forgotten about that. Tea has just consisted of a corned beef and beetroot small bread roll sandwich type deal and nibbling on the chocolate. Not massively healthy granted but it hasn't been the crap on crap that I have been eating. Tomorrow is going to start with a weigh in. I reckon I might have put quite a bit on this week but we'll see. I don't mind in the slightest. I don't mind letting go at Christmas because I don't eat like that all the time anymore. 

I come from a family of big appetites and bigger portions. Mum's always wanted to feed us up and feed us up she has. Too much but hey ho. She never made me put the fork in my mouth. Her problem is she has such a sweet tooth. She's the kind of person who can just have a jam sandwich for dinner. I can't just do sweet for a meal, I need savoury. But it means that come the trips to the Supermarkets, she can't resist the cake and sweet deals. And being that there's not an awful lot of willpower in the house, neither can anyone else. I did used to eat a lot of crap too. I don't anymore but even at uni I always had some sort of confectionery in my cupboard. I feel if I were to live alone or with friends again it would be much easier this time. I know if I don't buy it then I can't have it. Like I've said though, my willpower isn't terrible. The expanded chocolate stash on my wardrobe won't be depleted for quite some time I'd wager. Just them nibbles which get me.


I think I'm going to aim to try and get up a tad earlier before works and get some porridge in me. I don't do breakfast as a rule apart from some clementines or other fruit and a yoghurt drink thing with the healthy bacteria. But that tends to have melted away come breaktime and I then find myself with biscuits on top. With my IBS, I've read that oatmeal is a good food to eat and can help keep the system moving a bit easier. So I will try that. See if I can't get a good breakkie in me and avoid biscuity temptation. I don't eat biscuits at any time other than work. It's usually just because I'm a tad peckish at that point. If I was at home that would be breakfast time. It takes me the two hours from waking up to get hungry. But yes, we'll see how the breakfast plan goes this week. 

Anyway, I think we're going to have us a family night of Monopoly or something equally as dangerous (there's a couple of table flippers in the family). 

Happy New year once again and good boo.
