day 18

23rd sept 07
Good evening blog, happy Sunday!OK sort of day and have caught up on washing, ironing etc and we have made the futon in Cs bedroom so she is happy. Have stuck to LL without a single lapse for 18 days and feel really chuffed at that!! Cooked thai curry and rice for them tonight and have made chilli for tomorrow and also a load of veg soup so the fridge is full of 'good' food and I don't need to think food for the next few days!Had long talks tonight with all of us about what I might do at the end of this and how we will need to adapt what we do and it was great to have that conversation with Ian and the girls and I think our eating will change for the better for all of us!Part of my problem is that I love food and I love cooking and I am definately a 'feeder', see it as 'caring' and I know this stems from my own childhood, being a post war baby boomer (my brothers both had ration books!) Northern culture and my mum also loving cooking.I can still love food and cooking, I just need to adapt things and stop giving everyone huge portions and expecting them to eat it all!!Ah well, onwards and hopefully downwards (weightwise that is!!)Forgot to add that i also went to the gym this afternoon and have git my mile on the treadmill down to 11.5 mins!!
