I did well today. It's probably down to my elite planning skills. I managed to stick to my mini goals all day and as a result, got shitloads done and stuck to my points.

I did hit a stumbling block at the cinema when I went to the toilet and came back to find my other half had bought me a Cornetto. However, I had the points spare so no harm done, just means no supper for me tonight!

Am a bit concerned about tomorrow and sticking to my points. I'm going for a day out in York and it may well extend to an overnight stay. If that's the case, it's going to mean eating out for both dinner and tea.

I have real issues with eating out. If I'm in a restaurant and paying someone to eat then I feel as though I should be able to eat whatever is the nicest thing on the damn menu if I want it. I often find myself skipping what I know are the healthy choices and going for a 'treat' just cos I'm in a restaurant. I feel somehow cheated if I pick based on what's the healthiest thing - as though I'm depriving myself of the full 'eating out' experience.

This probably wouldn't be so bad if it was a one off but I eat out far too much and it's probably been one of the biggest contributions to my weight gain over the years. If it was a one off, then y'know, it's a treat and I can live with that. However, eating out two or three times a week is more of a habit than it is a treat and with Italy looming, I really need to sort my head out about this.

Part of me is convinced that the next time I write here I'm going to have to report a bad food day, even though right now it could technically still go either way. I have no trust in my willpower! Maybe the thought of forcing myself to confess on here afterwards will tempt me into being good. We'll see.
