I can make you thin

Last week, the food cravings and emotional eating really got to me.

I realised I needed to take action. Correlation beween the fatigue and binge eating maybe.

I haven't written so much lately because I've been ashamed at my weakness with giving into the cravings.

So yesterday I listened to paul McKennas I can Make You Thin.

It's a hypnotism track. i listened to it then and today. I will listen to it everyday.

Sometimes eating consumes my mind and I don't want that anymore!!

Nebbish

Nebbish means weak-willed and timid. Today, I have been weak-willed but timid is the last word that could me used to describe me.

From the beginnig: - Green tea, half apple, kaki (pic tomorrow), half litre of water

Snacks: - 5 Little kinder bars, fig yoghurt

Lunch: - Katsu curry and rice (fried chicken), salad and dressing. 2 Japanese teas

3 pieces of chocolate.

For dinner I was supposed to make the mince curry but I was out with friends and we decided to go to dinner. Yaki niku. A various assortment of meats, seafood and vegetable which we cook ourselves on the above barbeque in the middle of the table. Had a flask of hot sake ad 2 small bowls of rice (why not just on???)

I came back and was nearly gonna have some chocolate....but told myself noooooo....and listened to myself...all good.

A Korean affair

kimchi soup and other kimchi bits

A run down of the day: -
Breakfast: - 3 pieces of melon, half an apple, half a litre of water, green tea
Snack : - fig yoghurt
Lunch: - Cabbage soup, chocolate panda biscuits
Dinner: - cabbage fried rice (below) 2 pieces of melon, fig yoghurt, kimchi goodies from Korean friends, yuuzu juice.

I actually felt like going to get more chocolate but I resisted. I know I had some chocolate type things but at least I am reducing my intake.

Creation no.2

I must be on a roll. After living the last few days off my cabbage soup, it was time to make a new dish. This is lettuce fried rice. Except I used cabbage as I still had quarter left over from when I made the soup! I didn't make a big portion though.

Tomorrow I'm going to try my hand at minced meat curry: -
I need; -
200g ground pork 豚ひき肉
1 onion 玉ねぎ
garlic にんにく
vegetable oil サラダ油
tomato juice トマトジュース
80g curry roux カレールウ

Writing these lists helps me learn the words and memorise the kanji.

Chocolate

is what I am going to elimainate or at least cut down from now. I have been getting into a habit the last few day of buying 2 lots of chocolate and today was no exception...more dars and some chocolate mushroom things. As I am feeling ill, the chocoalte almost takes the pain away. Emotional eating? I would say so!

A run down of the rest.

Breakfast: - Satsuma, yoghurt, half litre of water
Lunch: - small salad (as yesterday), tofu and pork soup, rice, sweet potato desert, orange juice
Snack : - rice chestnut ball (delicious!!), the chocolate things as described above), fizzy lemon drink
Dinner: - Pork gyoza, soup from 2 nights ago, 3 slices of melon, yuzu and hot water, 3/4 litre water

Same again...

Breakfast: - half an apple, satsuma, half a litre of water, yoghurt.
Sweet chai, herbal tea (not latte!) Strawberry choc ice.
Curry and rice (japanese style) with small side salad of shredded lettuce, tomato, cucumber and sweetcorn, unknown dressing.
2 chocolate bars (ahhhh).
Cabbage soup (as last night), strawberry choc ice (again!!)

Tomorrow (or day after). I am going to cook Lettue and Egg Fried rice: -

4 cups steamed rice- ご飯 （ごはん）
4 lettuce leaves レタス
3 eggs- 卵　（たまご）
1/2 Japanese leek 長ねぎ　(already have!)
Knob of ginger しょうが　(already have)
2 Tbsp of sake 酒　　　　（さけ）
salt 塩　　　　　（しお）　　
pepper こしょう
1 tsp. sesame oil ごま油　　　　(already have)

I did it!!!

My creation

I made this Japanese soup tonight (pat on back please). I am tired of eating out (a bit) and convenience food so took the step to make fresh home cooking.

I forgot the sake but it was still delicious and there is enough to last me for next few days!

Had... half an apple and yoghurt for breakfast. Chai Tea Latte and Thai noodles for lunch.
One Mongolian fried gyoza.

Dinner above...cabbage and tuna soup (sounds bad but not) and 2 strawberry choc ices...ahhh.
