Hi!
The workmen are still busy in my house.
I have got quite used to them and to making endless cups of tea all day now. They all seem to have two spoonfuls of sugar in every cup but not to eat much all day despite all the work they are doing while I have my porridge and banana, fruit and yogurt, salad and soup and sit at my computer for most of the day trying to concentrate ....
I'm not sure how they don't fade away living on a few spoonfuls of sugar, unless that theory about skipping meals preventing you losing weight is true. Maybe they eat a lot for breakfast and dinner too. I don't know them well enough to do a diet analysis :)
Have a great week
Love

Feature Article : A Treat?
It's very hard when facing temptation not to give in and justify eating something that you know will do your weight loss efforts no good at all. Maybe you feel that you've worked hard and eaten well all week so you deserve a treat. Maybe you've had a real stinker of a day. We all need a treat now and again.
But is sabotaging your weight loss plans really such a nice thing to do to yourself? Do you really deserve such poor treatment?
And if you have had a bad day and need a treat then there's even more reason to look after yourself properly. You need to nourish yourself with good food, rest or activity (whatever your body needs) and the comfort of family or friends.
Treat yourself to a good cry, a long phone call with a friend, a comedy show or a long soak in the tub just don't pretend that junk food is going to make you feel better - it won't.
Have you ever eaten chocolate or fries or pizza and then thought "That's great - now I'm no longer bored/unhappy/lonely/stressed out"? I thought not!
You don't deserve to punish your body with food it doesn't need or want or to upset yourself with feelings of regret over what you stuffed down without really noticing by giving yourself a "treat".
I'm all for eating food you enjoy - even food such as chocolate or fries which you would not consider typical foods a weight loss coach might recommend. But I would like you to eat that food as part of planned healthy balanced meals or snacks and not as a spur of the moment "treat". So if you like chocolate and decide to leave room to have a couple of squares after dinner that's great. Stuffing a Mars Bar in before dinner "because you deserve a treat" is not.
If nothing else get into the habit of pausing before you "treat yourself" to junk and just decide whether what you're doing is really such a nice thing to do for yourself and whether you couldn't treat yourself just a little bit better than that.

But is sabotaging your weight loss plans really such a nice thing to do to yourself? Do you really deserve such poor treatment?
- You deserve healthy delicious food in just the right quantities to satisfy your physical hunger.
- You deserve a fit, supple, ready for anything body that serves you well.
- You deserve to be slim and healthy - you really do!
And if you have had a bad day and need a treat then there's even more reason to look after yourself properly. You need to nourish yourself with good food, rest or activity (whatever your body needs) and the comfort of family or friends.
