Day 12 - Monday, 29th September 2008

What a weekend I've had. It's been very chilled out. No, actually I will rephrase that. It has been very lazy! My cousin and I have done absolutely nothing bar watching DVD's and cleaning the house. OK, maybe the cleaning bit wasn't so lazy. But that was only a couple of hours out of the whole weekend!
The cravings are in overdrive and to be honest, its just now about missing out on something everyone else has. But I have to remind myself, they already get to shop where they want and wear what they want. They can already run up the stairs at work without thinking their going to have some kind of coronary. So I am now thinking about it, I'm not missing out on anything because I will be gaining so much more in the long term.
Today was my last day at Inspired Gaming. So in true office tradition, I had to take cakes in for everyone. It was a true test. I had to sit and watch them eat chocolate eclairs and shortbread and rice crispie cakes, whilst I sat there with my lemon bar.
I did it. It was not a pleasant experience, but my friend Heather kind of put it in perspective for me. She said. Imagine if you did have a chocolate eclair. You'd eat it and then how would you feel? All of the hell of the last two weeks you've put yourself through has been for nothing and youd have to start all over again. Do you really want to jeopardise your goal for a chocolate eclair? Is it worth it? Oh how wise she is!
I got through it and I have been busying myself trying to find us a cracking deal for our holiday in Orlando in October/November 2009. So here is another goal for you. I will have completed my foundation, development and RTM courses with Lighter Life before October 2009.
I feel a sense of acheivement. I think I will treat myself with a Strawberry Shake!
