A minor epiphany.
Got an extra afternoons work tomorrow, I had planned to… Well I hadn’t planned anything really but I was ready to have an afternoon off and I was on the phone and then suddenly I was saying yes. So, it’s extra pounds that I wouldn’t have had otherwise (on a separate note, it’s strange being paid daily). So I thought I would ‘treat’ myself except as I wandered around Aldi (eggs, sweet potato, carrots, lettuce) I realised that I didn’t need to treat myself. It’s happened where I’ve been wandering round the supermarket thinking I should get something naughty and ended up not getting them. I wasn’t ever really sure why.
Today I realised it was because it’s not how I choose to eat now. I don’t need to eat those sorts of foods as a treat, or because I’ve had a bad day or it’s the weekend. I choose to eat a certain way and I’m happy with that.
