Back on the straight and narrow now for the rest of February. Will have to up my training also this month. The Argus MTB Challenge is less than 4 weeks away.. I see your cheat weekend and raise you mine We had a product launch on Friday with Croissants and chocolate cake. I had sandwiches followed by some choc covered raisins and milk tart yesterday at friends and a big leftover piece this morning for breakfast. And there is Sago pudding waiting at home. I don't usually buy these kind of snacks for myself and it's difficult when visiting friends, especially when they want to be generous towards guests. I think some intermittent fasting may be in order later this week. Edited February 4, 2019 by Jacquers JohanDiv 1
eccc whippet Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Easiest way to deal with that type of temptation - don't bring it into the house. If I've got pastries or other sweet stuff in the house, it's going down my gullet ASAP. that is the problem...i dont bring them into the house...my 10 year old daughter bakes muffins for pocket money....she loves baking. We have a sweets cupboard in the kitchen which use to be locked so that i couldnt get to them. I need to learn to control my eating disorder...not expect everyone else to go without because i have a problem. we are not fat because of 2 months of binge eating...getting fat is a long slow process which grows over time....normally triggered by something..be it giving up smoking(probably one of the most common causes)...a sport or what ever.

It's a difficult, no two ways about it. If I had an industrious little baker living under my roof, I'd be very tempted to stick my hand in the cookie jar every so often. My wife and I have come to the following agreement: Friday night we can have take out or we can go to the restaurant. On Saturday we'll bake something - we try to go for recipes that are based on wholewheat flour (real wholewheat, not just brown flour) and which requires little to no sugar/oils. That way can get our pastry fix. Rest of the week/end it's clean eating, no snacks from the shops, no fizzy drinks, etc. We also don't stock up on sweets/baked goods - the temptation is too great and my willpower questionable.

Cois Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Haha! I think we can agree that yours is a special case though, Cois. How's it goin, by the way?That is true, and reason I am not taking part this year. At the moment well. I can eat again. Had 5 days of constant nausea, so wolfing down to build reserves. I am still not allowed to cycle though. Tore some of my stitches at work (while on sick leave) due to an old hag chucking a box full of devices at me. But other than that, it is well.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Always try to make tomorrow better than today. And damn, being able to eat again must feel good after that nausea. Good to hear that today was a good one. I know that they change, but hope that by the time you're out of it, the good outweighed the bad by a satisfactory margin. Keep strong, man. And - gain some weight!! Cois 1
