Day 180 – One Day at a Time – Slowly

by Bill Wallace on October 4, 2008

What happens when you have a smallish breakfast, spend the rest of the day out and about and drink only a couple of coffees?

You eat! A lot!

I spent the day out in Fremantle yesterday and just whiled away the hours doing a spot of reading, not really feeling like food but had a couple of my favourite short macchiatos (topped up, no foam). I did feel hungry but as I’d gone off the healthy food diet I thought a day of no food was in order.

Noooo!

I came home and tried to finish off the home made pasta and sauce of the night before. That’s two plates, on toast, with butter, and a slice of (very nice) steak!

Tastes good, but!

Oh well, on to the jogging track and the stationery bike for a “few more” minutes.

I am having a hankering for food.

Good food. European food which is a downfall of mine. I love pasta especially and it is one of those foods you can make quite easily. Tossing in an ingredient as you think of it and drinking a nice wine while conversing in the kitchen with the rest of the family. Slow food, I think it’s called. Very relaxing.

Only problem is you enjoy eating it and the weight gain ensues.

The alternative is the very well behaved Andrew who went to a party and had very little food and his pictures support his perspective. If you look at his before and after photos you will see how well he has done. It really is amazing.

Anyway, I am taking Andrew’s advice and getting back on track “one day at a time”.

Thanks for the kudos. :) It’s not quite as easy as it sometimes appears but I try to make one good decision at a time. I don’t always get it right however!
