I woke up today feeling in a much better mood. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was because I took the time out to fit in my CD listening session the night before, I don't know. Either way my day was not cast under a grey cloud from the moment I woke up.
I had a big long chat with Jayne about how McKenna was going and whether I thought she should give it a try. I am trying to reserve judgement about the whole "I Can Make You Thin" thing until I have finished my two week experiment and get on the scales. However, my current feelings about it is that I feel significantly better in myself. Happier and more relaxed around food, not constantly preoccupied with what I'm going to eat next, and I'm not sure if I feel thinner but I definitely do not feel fatter. I think Jayne, or anyone else for that matter, can only benefit from feeling that way if they can find a way to.
I went to Asda at lunchtime to buy a sandwich and I deliberately avoided the right hand edge of the middle shelf in the display cabinet. That is where they keep the weight watchers chicken fajita wrap that I usually choose. I looked at the variety of other sandwiches on offer and read the descriptions of the filling on the front of the packet rather than the nutritional values on the back. I chose a think and tasty looking sandwich of topside of beef with caramelised red onion, rocket and something else on sundried tomato bread. It was SO tasty!!! I truely enjoyed it and also had a small handful of crisps on the side (I bought a whole packet but couldn't eat them all, my colleages helped me out by finishing them off). After I had finished (leaving the last corner of sandwich on my plate with the few remaining crisps) the weight watcher in me glanced down at the packaging without thinking and looked at the NVs and discovered that I had actually made a healthy choice unconsciously ... McKenna said that would happen. And when I was especially naughty and worked out how many points were in the sandwich I discovered that it was exactly the same as the ww wrap with its fake mayo and sticky plastic tortilla.
The lesson I have learned is this ... I need to trust me. My body knows what it needs and I know what is good for my body and without someone telling me what I should or shouldn't eat I have made a healthy balanced tasty choice that I can feel good about.
Anyway, after work I managed to get in another completely uninterrupted listen to McKenna but afterwards all the rest of my plans for the evening got jiggled around and I hate it when plans get changed and I don't know what's going on so that put me in a bit of a mood. Mainly because I didn't know what to do for tea as I didn't think I was going to be cooking and then it turns out I was lol. Ah well, tomorrow is another day.
