Hi there, I feel your pain!
I have been on the diet since Oct 1st and the weekends are the worst. I miss a glass of something or a plate of paella or just a sandwich on the run or going out and eating a burger and chips.
So this is what I do
I treat myself.
I either buy a good piece of steak – small, of course, or a really excellent piece of fish and cook it with my favourite veg – mushrooms, onions, red peppers and salad and I follow it up with a yummy yoghurt and fruit
I also spend time grooming – it sounds very vain but I am not at all like that, in fact, I’m the opposite.
But I run myself a bath, paint my nails, treat my hair and think – let’s do this a day at a time.
Sometimes I would go off to a spa – it’s quite cheap over here for a 2 hour session.
I go shopping – I go into shops, look at clothes that are going to fit in the future and walk around and think of other things. I never buy anything.
It might sound expensive – but think of all the money you are saving in not overeating.
Hope this helps – hang on in there – I lost 12 kilos so far on this diet even though I broke it 5 times – I really smashed it – chocolate, red wine, white wine, champagne, sweets, cake, more chocolate, bread, rice, pasta – you name it!!! I think, if you are going to break a diet – do it in style!!!
Cheers and good luck
