The weather was mucky and so was my food. I'm finding it really hard to stop the 'walk in the door from work and start grazing on junk' urges. It is and always has been my absolute danger time.
Working on a plan to break this cycle, though. Will share later...

I know what you mean, I hate to blame the weather but I reckon it definately has something to do with it because I keep waking up hoping for a nice sunny day but get very let down when it is cloudy, cold and usually raining.
My danger time is grazing after dinner (only like 30 minutes after) because there is usually nothing to watch on TV and I am just waiting to put the kids to bed.
My danger time used to be getting home from work too.
I'm sure you've come up with a plan, but here's my two cents :)
The thing that used to help me was 1) having no junk in the house to graze on in the first place and 2) going for a brisk walk when I felt the urge. Just around the block, or whatever - I'd tell myself that if I walked for twenty minutes then I could have something when I got home because then I've earned it. Nine times out of ten I wouldn't want it when I got back.
I find it also helps if you have a small snack before leaving work. These days, because I train after work, I have a Powerbar, but in the pre tri days it used to be a good old fashioned apple or a handful of raw nuts.
And lots of water! Don't forget that!
Never forget what an inspiration you are Sue, to so many people. Keep powering ahead and remember that every day is a new start.

Oooh, what's your plan! :-)
And hey, looking at your food diary...you are doing pretty damn well! Way better than me before I started the detox.
Look forward to the new plan. I try and eat an apple or pear on the way home and that usually helps.
It really is a danger hour. I used to get stuck into cheese and crackers around this time. I'm sure you'll come up with a plan!
Hi Sue,
Firstly, congrats on your incredible weight loss. What an inspiration you are! I've heard from many people how lovely and inspiring you are so thought I'd pop by and say hello. :o)
Looking forward to hearing about your plan, too. Afternoons are also my danger time!
Take care, and thanks again for the inspiration.

So what's the plan? Never go home again, build a new house without a kitchen or pantry, never buy any food again, go home at bedtime, lock the pantry and fridge,??? Hmmmmm
