Had an extremely stressful day at work... was doing so well and just sabotaged it by eating the same carby dinner as my husband. Breaded chicken breast on a bun with fries. I feel rubbish already!
Comfort eating brought no comfort this time, I didn't enjoy it, couldn't eat it all as it was tasteless and I quickly felt bloated. It's my first major slip up in nearly 4 weeks, so I'm not going to feel guilty about it but I'm not going to do it again.

Tomorrow is a new day, and I've learned a lesson.
 
Well normal service has been resumed. First day back on the school run and it all went to pot! I was organised - no one else was. Result? Bed 6.2 FBG 6.9 and pre breakfast was 8.4!! Shows what stress does.
B. Boiled egg
L. 1/2 Lidl high protein roll with lurpack and pate. Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream.
D. Fresh anchovies, prawns, few pieces of calimari, lettuce, bistro tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, 3 mozzarella pearls, roasted peppers. Had a lot of leftovers to use.
To calm me had a pack of Urban Fruit triple toasted coconut earlier in the day and have just savoured 2 squares of Lindt 90%.

I will be calm , I will be calm, I will......

Happens to us all at one time or another. The trick is to note down what you ate, what your BGs did and how you felt - then just get back to your normal diet ASAP. Big hug coming your way.
