I'm a greedy cow!

I've noticed today that I'm a greedy cow when it comes to food and drinks and that's purely down to lonliness.

Since making the decision to stick to making the FitBit graph green instead of red every day this week, to see what it does to my weight, I've noticed just how much I nibble and drink because I'm alone.

When I'm with my in-laws I drink 2 hot drinks and a glass of pop in about 5 hours, but that's usually what I drink before 8am when I'm alone (except it's not pop, it's water, but it's still liquid so it counts).

I also have a bad habit of nibbling, purely because I'm lonely too.  I've allowed myself to have 2 biscuits this afternoon but my head is crying out for me to finish the tub off and make myself another drinking choccie too.  I've resisted so far, but this week is gonna be sooo difficult if I'm already struggling after being awake for less than 12 hours!

I'm fine when my carers are here or I'm with someone in person... the nibbling isn't a problem at all then, but when I'm alone and I've got no-one to stop me reaching for another biscuit or making myself another hot drink it's a battle that I don't know if I can win!

My throat is telling me it's as dry as a desert so I'll go and make myself a mug of tea or coffee, but I can pretty much guarantee that within 15 minutes of draining it, my throat will be saying exactly the same thing again!
