Slow and steady? What, me? My progress? My computer? My photo uploads. All of the above, I think.

After what will be nearly 3 weeks off work I am back to work tomorrow. This has left me pondering how I find is much easier to eat good food while at home, rather than at work. I think it is for several reasons- access; I live on a farm and the nearest ‘convenience store’ is about 18 km away! Stress levels; I feel safe with my family and don’t tend to resort to ‘comfort eating’ as a result of relationship uncertainty like I tend to do at work, on occasion, mostly due to self doubt. Being an example- it’s school holidays here at the moment so I am hardly going to hack through a big block of chocolate and leave myself open to the ‘what have you been eating mum, you smell like chocolate’ routine which is embarassing and humiliating and has happened before.

So, on the eve of going back to work I steel myself to maintain control. No, I don’t need to stop at the large takeaway franchise that has just opened to ‘see what it’s like’ (yes, they are all the same!). I drive straight past it. I have already planted the scenario in my head- drivethrough, then drivethrough car wash, then car vacuum and get rid of the evidence.

The good thing about this blog- I have fessed up so there is no way I will do that now!
