Shabbos day (26/8/17)

Breakfast – grape juice, 2 weetabix with almond milk, one small wafer eaten posting attention to the crunchy texture.

Lunch – matza, a small piece of challah, chicken breast cooked in diet Coke, barley salad (my new favourite food – barley, corn, pomegranate, roasted sweet potato), beetroot mango pistachios salad, a small piece of beef from cholent just to remind myself that I wasn’t missing out by but having a full portion – urgh can’t attend the stuff but the rest of the family like it), a few (more than I should’ve) biscuits I made with the children but they were very small.

Shalosh seudos – matza, challah, salmon, pickles

I knew that if I ate too much on Shabbos I wouldn’t have had a loss to report today, which I did. My sister’s words were ringing in my ears.

“Before every single bite (including on shabbat) ask yourself – what do I want more? To eat this or to break that barrier on the scales? Then put whatever it is down again and be pleased with yourself.”

I was picturing the scales I’d seen on Friday morning at 13st0lbs and I knew that if I went overboard yesterday then I’d not have a loss to report today. I’m so close to breaking through to the 12st somethings.
