Ah, there is nothing like the simple pleasures in life. Just spent some time with Rubles down at the beach. So lucky that it's only 10 minutes drive away. Yes, it was very chilly but we wrapped up warmly and headed out so we could leave hubbie with some peace and quiet to enjoy the Grand Prix. Throwing stones in the river and chatting about nonense, it was great. Been a while since me and her had done the stone throwing and I had forgotten how hilarious she finds it!! Then to the swing park so she could go down the slide and climb around.. great fun.

I was very naughty yesterday, decided to visit the DVD shop.. always a dangerous moove! I ended up with four blu rays.. one down and three more to go so far... hubbie pleased because it means he's had a very lazy weekend and can spend the rest of today on the sofa watching films!! I shall of course be watching them too but will be doing some ironing whilst watching them so at least getting something constructive done at the same time.

I need to keep myself occupied you see. If I don't my mind plays up and I think about food and what I'm missing out on. I am so abnormal. Why this obsession? It's so crazy and I live in hope that at the other end of this battle I won't give food a second thought unless I am genuinely hungry. Not just out of sheer gluttony...

So needing a little bit of focus back into my lighter life just now. Not to be suckered in by the lure of food. Seriously, if you could hear it shouting out my name and pulling me towards it like a magnet force you would understand my difficulties(!). Temptation will always be around. When I give into temptation I am taking a step backward and not getting closer to my goal. I need to remember that. I get so sneaky though. I feel the urge to eat when I know I'll be on my own, I catch myself planning it.. I am the ultimate secret eater, sneak snaffler. I would over indulge when on my own, even if not on my own I would sneak some snacks and have them.. wait for this... in the bath, hiding in the bathroom, you get the idea..! Seriously messed up.

So Christmas is approaching.
