Diet Trials : Paul McKenna

Day 14 and still going strong. The next installment of Paul McKenna – I will Make You Thin is on Sky One again tonight. I am looking forward to finding out some more techniques to help me on my way to a new life where I am in control of food.

My fear at the end of last week was the weekend, but all in all it was fine. I made sure that I kept busy with a plan to keep me busy and to make sure I didn’t just wander into the kitchen to check out the fridge. We have taken steps to reduce the amount of tempting food that is in the house, so even if I fancy something to eat when I’m not hungry I can’t find any quick snacky foods. I made sure that I stuck to my plan of getting up reasonable early for breakfast and fitted in with the kids meal time on an evening, so we could still have a family meal at a time that suited everyone.

I started to do jobs around the house that have been on the list for a while, since we moved into our new house back in October. Saturday saw me installing a big hose pipe reel so that I can do the typical weekend task of washing the cars regularly, then a family meal out at the local Italian restaurant. Sunday was a day of sorting out boxes that still hadn’t been unpacked and building shelves and storage units for kids toys. I didn’t over eat nor did I eat when I wasn’t hungry…so I am pleased with how it all went. It will, I hope, continue to get easier the longer I stick to the diet.
