I think that's the most important thing I've learnt in a long, long time. I went food shopping today, just grabbing a couple of small things that I could take to my friend's house tomorrow. That's right, I'm actually going out for once! It's O Week here in New Zealand so everyone is going crazy in town and even though I don't go to university I'm definitely getting in there! So for the next couple of days, Wednesday-Friday, I'm going to be going crazy in the clubs! Hopefully I can be down another 1.1kg before I get there! That would make everything so much better! I was in such a good mood today because I had lost weight. If it's up again tomorrow I think I'll go insane.
Anyway, I was wandering around the supermarket today and I must have looked like a loon. The first time I walked around I grabbed everything I wanted and put it into my basket. I looked down and saw that it was full of candy and biscuits; I was disgusted. The second time I walked around I put everything back on the shelves. The third time I walked around I went to the exact same things, pulled the items off the shelves and read the nutritional information on the back, calculated calories, made a ewww face and put it back on the shelves. The fourth time I walked around the store I was scanning for anything that was low calorie that I would put in my basket. What did I end up with? A packet of chewing gum.
Then I went to a smaller shop to buy a top up card. Not that hard, right? Well right next to the counter is a huge display of candy. I grabbed three bags and paid for them before I knew what was happening. I had opened the bags and eaten all of them before I knew what was happening too. I estimate that was 300 calories between the three bags. 300 calories that I didn't need to have. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I'm disgusting.
I can't believe I could put back larger bags of candy, crisps, crackers and biscuits from the supermarket but as soon as I saw them in the smaller shop I had to have them. Just ugh. I have no logic. There is obviously something wrong with my brain.
That being said, I'm sitting at a {more or less} comfortable net calorie total of 549 calories even though I've technically had 794 today. Thank goodness for housework! I'm planning on burning even more calories by doing some sit ups, jumping jacks, leg lifts and a short 2km walk I think. That will probably add up to be another hour of exercise for today. Not that bad really.

Aw, thank you :) I followed you too x
DeleteThat candy looks so pretty haha! But I know what you mean; I can say no to candy at the grocery store, but when I see individual little pieces wrapped all pretty at craft stores or something, much more tempting! Have fun on your trip, if you're going clubbing that's lots of calories burned!
ReplyDeleteIt's so tempting! I think it's because they're in smaller packets so I was like 'It's not that bad, small packets mean less calories' ... But yes, I'm planning on going clubbing three nights in a row! :) There's three different theme nights going on! I'm going to dance like a crazy person! Haha the first thing I thought of was all the calories that I'm going to burn!
DeleteAw, I somehow always end up going to the grocery store when I'm hungry. I either go crazy or feel this strange sense of superiority. Thank you for the comment my dear! I've read what you have so far, and it sounds ok. Idk, you're a lot slimmer than I am and I'm also at a weird stage between wanting recovery and not, so it's hard to cheer you on. Just try to resist the dreaded candy! I know what it's like to be surrounded by sugar and sweets. And oh yes, Moscato. Tis a wonderful thing, I think it truly is my favorite wine.
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid it but since I had to buy stuff for the rest of the week I kind of lost control a little bit :/ It's okay, I understand about the recovery thing, my friend went through recovery a while ago and then we had a falling out so I don't know how she is now :/ I will definitely resist the candy! It's going to be hard this week though! My friends want to eat nothing but candy or pizza! :S Moscato is wonderful, I get the Jacob's Creek moscato - delicious! Definitely my favorite.
