The thin of it... RSS

This blog will follow my progress in losing 8 stone throughout the year 2010. I am attempting to raise £1,000 for the SWAN Project as an aid to my challenge and to provide funds for an excellent charity.   The SWAN Project is aimed at empowering the personal recovery and growth of any person who is committed to either reducing their drinking or abstinence, in a way which helps the individual to connect to their environment.

I learned last night that when my emotions are overrunning in a positive sense - the mighty THFC having won in Milan - that I can overeat as much as when they are negative.

This morning the feeling in my stomach was something akin to that experienced after a minor drinking bout.  Low level sickness.  I think the mindfulness work (which has been ongoing for three weeks) has helped me notice more and be more aware of the sensations as they are happening.

I also noticed last night that after eating the kebab and chips that I felt a sense of defeat.  Another effort blunted on day one.  However I have a good coach who reminded me I ate very little all told yesterday.
