Thoughts and Feelings

* A carb free dinner this evening (ruined somewhat by the cheesecake). I have to confess, it was rather dull and that is the hardest part of this regime. All the while I am losing some weight, I can just about retain the motivation to continue but, boy, a bag of chips soaked in salt and vinegar would go down a treat.

* Meals are planned through the week so that I have a main meal (chicken or pork curry with rice) at lunch and then a light dinner, perhaps veg, sald or soup. 

* Declines - chocolate x2

* A difficult day mood wise today with a few things in play. Let's establish some parameters first though. As a society, we tend to use a lot of words for how we feel (mad, annoyed, appalled, elated etc) but there are only four core emotions; fear, anger, sandness and happiness. Breaking feelings down to these base descriptions is important in helping to properly convey how you feel but if people are not used to it, I can appreciate how the words may carry more power.

* So, how did I feel today? Sad mainly. There are a host of reasons why, not all of which I can comfortably blog about (something else that makes me sad). It's okay to feel sad sometimes, the danger is when it overstays its welcome, becoming a permanent state that strays into depression. I feel that this could very easily happen. I have some difficult thoughts to think through and resolve and must tread carefully.
