I have just got home from a 20 mile bike ride, so feeling a little better about myself now. I realise where I went wrong yesterday, I didn't leave the kitchen, didn't put my food ona plate early on just grabbed from the main serving dishes and finally didn't go and sit down when the main food was served I stood with my plate in the kitchen and kept topping it up. As for the chocolate on the way home I was rebelling against Mum telling me I was over eating. I'm a grazer when it comes to food and I need to make sensible choices to deal with it. I have strategies in place for being at home but I left them there yesterday rather than take them to the party. I find group events very stressful and again I have got to find out ways of dealing with it.
