JFDI-

Okay, so a line I read on a friend's blog has really stuck in my mind recently.... JFDI - which means Just F*cking Do It !!! So for the past 2 days I've actually been giving thought to what I put in my mouth. There is still room for improvement, but it's a start!

On looking back at this (written down), I feel that I need to have more food in the first half of the day, and cut down on sweets at the end of the day - One step at a time though! I have been making an effort to have less carbs - such as potato, pasta, rice, bread, etc - not cutting them completely, just reducing the amounts & replacing them with more fresh fruit & vegetables which I'd previously been not eating enough of. At one stage in the past (when I was following the Sure Slim program) I cut right back on carbs & ate protein with every meal - and after a few weeks received several comments about how much my mood had improved, and that my general disposition was much more positive (without me even noticing!) These days I'm so irritable and moody, anything to help me feel better would be great!

Anyway, I'm occasionally re-discovering what "hunger" feels like, as it's generally just so easy to eat because it's comforting, or habitual, or crunchy / cool / soft / warm / salty / sweet / tasty..... etc. As I said, there's plenty of room for improvement, but  YAY!  I'VE MADE A START!
