Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail

I was ever so good last night. I made my packed lunch in advance so that there could be no excuse. I made a lovely salad (despite there being no lettuce or tomatoes in he house), gathered together some fruit and a 0% fat yoghurt and a massive drink. After all, failing to prepare is preparing to fail, the early bird catches the worm etc.


This morning, I have woken up with a stinking rotten head cold. All I want is chocolate, soup and my bed. Here I am at work, sniffling and trying not to annoy/ pass the bug onto my colleagues. The fruit doesn't taste of anything, the salad seems far to cold to contemplate and my tummy is rumbling.


Positively though, I am managing to stick to my diet rigidly without faltering. I am not heading off into town this lunchtime to buy something naughty. I'm not giving into my chocolate temptations, despite the mini chocolate doughnuts being bandied around the office and I am certainly not considering cheating.

M any people in our group are posting pictures of their breakfasts/ lunches/ dinners to facebook. Although this isn't really my style, I am finding it really useful to get some ideas. I also find it a good impetus as it brings out my competitive nature. I want an astonishing loss!
