Days 132 - 134

I've come to the conclusion that I'm rubbish at CD when the boyfriend is around. He had a whole week off work this week and we spent a couple of days together, Wednesday and Thursday, between his two weekends away catching up with friends and family. On Wednesday, my eating went horribly wrong, I had a giant burger with salad and chips so the next day, I was completely out of ketosis. On Thursday we went for a look around the Science Museum which was excellent fun and a great distraction from my rumbling stomach. I ate too much that day too but I did manage to stick to a no-carb diet and thankfully, it was enough to get me back into ketosis.

This morning I woke up with that familiar energetic feeling and a distinct lack of hunger so today has been a perfect SS+ day I'm pleased to say. I've had quite a busy time which also helped keep the diet on track but I really have to figure out a way of sticking to plan when boyfriend is around. It's not his fault really, but I need very little encouragement to stray away from the diet. If I say I really fancy something or I have a really strong craving or I really miss a particular food he'll always encourage me to have it, he is always quick to say 'Go on, eat, it'll be OK'. Nine times out of ten I'll tell him off when he says that but too often I'll just eat. I think I'll just have to keep my urges and cravings to myself in future. I think it's a bit of a shame though because sometimes just a little prod in the right direction or a reminder of why I'm doing this would really help me along.
