The oanic about the soup not so good.<br /><br />One of the cycling blokes we spoke to told us about his weight issues which started when he stopped cycling for the Olympics. Apparently his main problem was that if he couldn't do exercise/diet stuff perfectly he couldn't make himself do it all. Eg. unless he could cycle 30km flat out that day, he couldn't make himself do 10km at a moderate pace and hence piled on about 4 stone in 6 months!!<br /><br />Bear with me - but there seems to be a bit of a similarity with you. You had to have the soup because you were hungry and this was what you had decided and it was suitably low cal etc etc But, when thwarted, you ended up having much more. Mightn't it have been better, when you were very hungry and faint, just to have something straight away, like a cereal bar. Which you know would have taken the immediate edge off and then allow yourself whatever low cal lunch is available. Presumably there were salads or sandwiches around in the 300-400 cal range, rather than exhausting yourself looking for the exact thing you're after and ending up eating far more??<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />You have to roll with the punches sometimes and not be "perfect" and it might take away some diet stress and lead to lower intake overall....<br /><br />Many apologies for sounding as though I'm preaching (which I suppose I am a bit) or if I've totally misread the situation but it seemed to jump out a bit at me.<br /><br />The cycling sounds bril as ever. I slept through my alarm this morning so missed personal training for the first time in years! Bad me. And then didn't swim at lunch or go for a run this evening. Very bad me. Will rectify the situation tomorrow.<br /><br />Lesley xLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197039686417212109noreply@blogger.com
