And my knees have a tad ompa loompa look to them so I arent putting anymore stuff on them but will continue the flabby thighs and legs. I feel better looking brown reality is though I dont actually look better. Never mind.
I really really wanted a packet of burgerings last night but I held off and went and lay in bed and watched telly at half seven instead. Then I watched Jaimie Oliver and the end of the movie on channel two which I have now seen about 3 times. So the result is I so did not want to get up and going this morning. But I did and find myself with 20mins to spare before taking Livi to kindy.
Kindy Lunches I just never know how much to pop in. I have decided I will not put packet food but rather make the things. Bar a yoghurt. I dont buy bought biscuits much now after watching Mr Oliver and his little speil on the hidden crap in bought stuff and also by baking I want my children to bake with me and know how to cook!!!. We already use his kids pancakes receipe and its fabulous. 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk 1 egg beat and cook. JUST YUMMY. I like baking anyway so its all good. But I do need to get more adventurous with the dinner time meals. I do the standard farm girl thing of meat and vegie. Although we rarely have potoatoes anymore. The girls are much better eaters then me and mostly eat what is put in front of them. But food time is no biggie here its simple. Either you eat or you go and play but nothing else is offered. I dont even say can you eat please. They know the rules. So after much debate over what I would feed her at lunch today i finally decided on one yoghurt, one apple, a crusket with butter (she wont have anything else on it lol) some shaved ham, and some little cheese crackers and a mother earth museli bar. And there you go there is packaged food lol. actuallly theres a small packet of Rashuns too lol so lots of packaged food lol. Hmmm didnt do too well there did I?. Never mind.
Thanks Lisa for your comments and you know my house is always open to you and the tribe. And for those that dont know Lisa which is probably most people reading the tribe can include the gorgeous Laundry (lisas sister Lorna) and her kids and sometimes her other sister as well. All good I love having you guys just wish you lived here instead of many miles away. And I see Lisa there is the gorgeous Nina to now meet. Congratulations Aunty Lisa lol.
I am not fazed at the moment still finding it realively ok apart from odd moments where I have to find something to do rather then eat. Like yesterday walking home from kindy I just wanted to go and get a mars bar. But I didnt. And I have quit drinking V drinks. I will have maybe one once a week but compared to one every day thats quite an achievement for me. Its at night after dinner when the girls are in bed that I want to raid the cupboards and have chocolate and chippies mainly. Funny thing is when we are off in the motorhome I hardly eat anything I guess because I am busy doing other things and going for walks and making sure the children are safe. At home I get bored and thats when I eat when I am bored!!. So the simple trick would be to get a full time job I think lol but thats not going to happen. So I need to find things like washing windows instead of eating. Then I will get skinny and my house will so clean and pretty. I kind of like that idea. Working Fridays will be great and keep my busy. I just realised I have never had time on my hands like I do now. All through high school I did atheletics so was either at school or training for that. I would get home to eat and sleep get up and start again. Weekends were taken up competing, travelling or more training. Then when I quit that I was working full time so either at work or home to eat and sleep. Its when I stopped everything but day to day duties and care of the children I got fat. So I figure boredom must play a part in that. I really dont understand how people can spend all day just doing the washing, ironing, vaccuming, and bed making. I can get all that done in just over an hour. Then I have a whole day to be bored. A whole day to eat and eat. Of course there are days when stuff takes longer but generally as I do all this everyday the house never gets that bad it takes a whole day. The kids are great at playing off their own steam and get annoyed with me if I interefer too much. And I am not into going to mainly music, gymnastic, swimming and all that sort of thing. I am a homebody and prefer to be at home.
So now I have what I believe to my downfall I EAT WHEN BORED I just have re occupy myself with something other than eating. That should be simple you would think but simple things are NEVER that simple. But if I am right then in theory I have the knowledge to break the habit.
To those that are following I read yours each day too and I really must start commenting. I cant wait til you see the dramatic downward trends in the measurements on mine and on yours. That will be a great exciting day.

Good luck with giving up V. The only way I could give up coke was travelling to europe and having to face the option of paying $6 U.S. dollars for a single can. I couldn't do it - so weened myself - after being very american and drinking at least two cans a day. You can do it!
I hear you, I eat when I'm bored. I am trying to tell myself everytime I want to eat do some lunges or sit ups or something before I do LOL. And I am trying to train myself to ask, Am I hungry? I know its only been a few days but it seems to be working because I am eating less. We can do this. Thanks for sharing, nice to have people do it alongside.
I'm another who eats when they're bored (or upset, or happy) I struggle daily with changing the internal dialogue that tells me I need something to eat.
It's nice to know I'm not alone cause sometimes it feels that way.
I'm a bored eater too, and trust me it doesn't get better if you work full time, you still get bored, and if you work where I do it's just a walk out the front door to Dunkin Donuts! You're doing great giving up the V though, I LURVE energy drinks, just the taste, don't drink em for the energy, lol!
