Foiled by Pizza and Icecream

So there I was congratulating myself on doing so well. Usual oats and seeds for breakfast; working lunch was a bulgar wheat salad and I resisted the cake.  Champagne and strawberries after the meeting – not entirely healthy but not bad either, I dipped the strawbs in the cream so probably didn’t eat more than a spoonful.

And I walked to and from the meeting – 30 mins each way.

So why oh why did I get distracted on the walk back and eat a slice of Carluccio’s pizza followed by a Hagen Daz cookies’n'cream ice cream.  I don’t even like cookies’n'cream for goodness sake and I wasn’t even particularly hungry.

I know what it was though – I wanted to distract myself and eating’s good for that.  And then once I had the thought of chocolate in my mind it just wouldn’t go away.  I didn’t particulary want it or enjoy it but once I’d decided to have it then I had to see it  through.  How stupid is that?

I should probably consider that supper but it’s only 6pm now and I know that I’ll want to eat later – as much for something to do as because I’m hungry.  Habit I guess.

Still one slice of pizza and and icecream isn’t going to do huge amounts of damage in the long run.  Just as long as I don’t slip back into the habit of grazing and constantly eating whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it.
