The good news is that I think I'm going to be very happy with my 1st week's weigh in which I'll post tomorrow. The bad news is that I seem to be stuck in a diet mentality - which means that psychologically I start to rebel against what I know I "should" do and do the exact opposite, and I also revert back to some really well-entrenched bad habits.
Back to the good news - I accept that this is a work in progress. There are some things I've found really easy to give up (dairy products, alcohol, chicken - I don't eat red meat anyway, eggs) and heaps of things that I've found really easy to add (breakfast!!, beans, more veges and more fruit). So rather than beating myself up for every little (or big) slip up I'm going to start aiming for a better than average eating day rather than a perfect one. Some people will raise an eyebrow in response my less than stellar ambitions but I know me and I know that I'm not good at perfect (how I wish!...).
So be warned you may see the odd noodle in my menu, bread (not a huge fan but you never know) and on extreme occasions some smoked salmon. My goal is still to Eat to Live and it's still to eat real food so long as I'm eating that rather than junk food, then it's a better thing.

Everyone goes through the stage that you're going through. It is so hard to give up foods that were once part of your every day life. And besides, we were all taught that this food is healthy and good for you. I congratulate you for not beating yourself up for the so called "slip ups." That puts you one step ahead of the ones who do beat themselves up (me :D).
