Why do you think you did or did not reach your goal this week? I was focused on what I want to achieve by the end of the week. I actually ate out 3 times, shared a small dessert, had wine, popcorn at movies and nibbled on my husbands dish for variety. Everything was is in moderation so I didn’t feel deprived or guilty.
What did you find difficult this week? During the day when I wanted to nibble out of tiredness. My mind often fights sleep and rather wants food!
How did you overcome these difficulties? I take A LOT of deep breaths (lol), it helps me quickly understand what it is I am feeling and what I really need instead of just making an impulse decision. I opted for low calorie foods and drinks like salad, tea, cocoa and treated myself to some series and Pinterest 
I love seeing what I am working towards.

How did you overcome these difficulties? I spent time engaging with people rather than the food… When I did have something to eat I really savored it reminded myself that I am making the best decisions with what is available. I reminded myself that food was a small aspect of the celebration. I was their to enjoy the good company and make memories
What realisation did you have this week? In the past people have often said things that have made me feel obliged to eat or drink unnecessarily so that they feel at ease.

What did you find difficult this week? I go though days where I’m not particularly excited about chopping veg (lol) but preparation is key!
How did you overcome these difficulties? Although I do prefer cutting my own veg, in times like these I opted for woolies plain precut veg. They seem to last the longest in the fridge
What realisation did you have this week? I have become aware of a few more food triggers. I tend to eat super fast when I’m excited about something and have had the thought to celebrate the exciting news by going out to eat. I wasn’t too bothered though. It was just good to be able to recognise it, so that I could decide if I really wanted to go out to eat. That way I am in control of my emotions and not the other way around.
What can you improve on next week? Enjoy the process of preparing our food by planing my favourite tunes

What did you find difficult this week? My mind is quite occupied with my new adventure of moving to the UK in Jan. I’ve experienced so many new emotions which has been great for self awareness and growth. It’s been challenging sticking to my routine as I find this time of year I naturally want to unwind and relax. However, there are still things to be done.
How did you overcome these difficulties? Zooming out to look at the bigger picture, taking note of my emotions and taking one step (in the right direction) at a time.
What realisation did you have this week? Learning = Behavior change. If I have not changed my behavior, I have not learnt. From experience, it’s easy to achieve a goal if you only have that to focus on. Finding a balance is the difficult part but vital for my overall happiness
