Timed it perfectly!
We arrived as all my co-workers were finished eating. They were just getting up and starting to take some photos and starting to get into the evenings entertainment.
We skipped the whole food thing. Not a single thing. Oh, I had half a cup of coffee with cream at about 9.30. So I did get some calories in. Other than that, I put nothing across my lips. Surprise surprise... I didn't die? wow!
It was a casino night theme with your chips turned in for tickets that you entered raffles with. Turns out I'm quite good at craps. HAHAHAHA I'm punny!! ;) We had a great time. I had water with lime, husband had the free Heineken's and we gambled!
This was a very successful night on many levels. I had to go to the dessert table to turn in my chips, and I made it quick. I didn't want to be around the sweets, lest I get tempted. I lied to a couple of people about dinner/eating there. The "yes, we had some food - it was great" kind of lies. Pretty soon most people were too drunk to even bother asking. HA!
As for the evening, it was a riot. I ended up winning a raffle prize for two tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I'm so excited! :) okay.. bed time for good girls!
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.
Tamzins Double Dog Dare You Ticker!
My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

Wednesday FULL of WIN!
I started to fade today...and had thoughts of burgers dancing through my head....so just before lunch and I did this:

Subject: TODAY I WILL
NOT GET A FATTY LUNCH. I will eat the lunch that I have here.
Because I’m better than fat.
Love Me~
Ate my lunch and it was great (BNS mac&cheese, lemon yogurt and a plum). This afternoon I considered getting a treat - and instead ate my Coconut Larabar. AlsoYum.
After work I had to pick up some bits for dinner.... and that put me right in the middle of one of my worst areas...The Grocery store - all by myself...the perfect time to get chocolate so that I can eat it in the car and NO ONE KNOWS.... (but me - and all of you of course). Grocery stores are a terrible place for me - those ROWS of chocolate bars while you are standing there checking out, alone in the car to scarf down the chocolate like a starving wolf....
I managed to resist!~ I bought two packs of Extra gum instead (a la Biggest Looser). Woot!
However, ice cream was in the basket.
:( NOT GOOD...not good at all!!
I drove home thinking about the ice cream...and when I got home I put it in the freezer - telling myself that I would have some tonight and then throw the rest out. Then 15min later I went into the kitchen, took it out of the freezer and.... I threw it in the garbage. $5.00 is not worth me eating 1,000+ calories of ice cream. So right NOW there is a tub of ice cream melting in my garbage! YAY!!
Also.... my main surprise today was my daily Weight In. I hopped up on the scales and expected to see something other than this:
290.6lbs
No change from yesterday, that was a very nice surprise!

Tamzin - 3, Sugar Monster - 0
PEW PEW take that sugar monster!
I managed to get through the rest of my day without any sugar cave-ins. Hurray!!
I ended up working overtime today, and then walked home 2.5km. I was thinking about bad food the whole way - how I should get some, I have been "good" ((following crazy mind sugar monster self talk)) One pizza and coke won't hurt, what about stopping for a big pasta dish and some garlic bread....how about a can of chili from the corner shop (and a bar of chocolate since you are already in there), you have soup at home...stop and get some saltines... you won't eat the whole box this time.....okay no ... how about stopping at the Starbucks and getting a big special coffee and a SCONE or a fudge bar....ad nausium....
As I passed each stopping point for food - I just made my mind up to keep walking to the next one...once I was in sight of the last chance for bad food place, I'm almost the whole way home and could keep going without stopping.
I also buried my wallet down at the bottom of my backpack so that I would have to have a really good root through the whole thing to get at the cash. Then I told myself that I could eat WHATEVER I wanted that was already in the house, and however much I wanted. These kinds of things usually keep me from getting to crazy and binging. Giving myself permission to eat...as strange as that might sound from someone who is 270+lbs.
Got home and ate 3oz low fat mozzarella cheese straight away. Then I got online and read a bunch of your blogs... actually... all of the blogs that got updated today. No surprise, it was helpful to read the daily triumphs and tribulations as posted by everyone else.
Dinner was 2c of tomato soup, 6 hearty rye crackers and 1T becel. After that I still had the snackies so I had a handful of Almonds, then a peanut butter Kashi granola bar with 1tps of cashew nutbutter on it. Salty sweet goodness! I had the urge to keep eating, but I went and sat down with my book and a litre of water and told myself that I could have more to eat after I drank the whole bottle. Needless to say, that I wasn't hungry after that.
Its bed time now... I'm actually getting to be on schedule for sleep! I'm going to read a bit more and relax and enjoy my day. Especially since I can think about how today I took another forward step in beating my cravings and controlling the mental side of changing my unhealthy food habits/thoughts.
