Well back to work today (not been in the office since Wednesday). Was worried about my eating (as I mentioned earlier, I find that I overeat most at work) so I had a plan of action: -
1. Not to (under any circumstances) eat at my desk
2. Make sure that I put the food on a plate
3. Don't let myself get over hungry (sometimes find myself waiting to eat so that I can finish something and then devouring far to much because I feel starving!)
So far, so good. My colleague is on leave so I sat down at his desk to eat, (away from my colourful computer screen beckoning me to take a look). I've been hungry 3 times this morning and just ate a little every time, which is great - the more times I eat out of stomach hunger, the more practice I get. Had some fresh melon this morning and it was so sweet and juicy, at first I didn't want to eat fruit as I felt it was 'diet food' but no way - I'm starting to learn which food I love 'for the taste' as opposed to how many calories it does or doesn't have - it's so exciting!!
I'm out of the office most of the afternoon, so I must remember to take a food bag with me but all in all, a great day thus far!!
Tonight I have a salsa lesson, I just love salsa - it's so much fun and I feel very sexy and feminine when I dance it - I've not been doing it too long but I sure love to wiggle my hips. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone as a fun way to move your body.

That sounds like quite a good rule (the not eating at your desk), maybe I should do it too.
I have some of the taste the freedom cards (from the BC website) with notes to myself written on them:
'I can have a break with or with a kitkat'
'wait a minute'
'Am I really hungry?'
This has helped me a bit.
Thanks - that's a great idea, think I'll print some off
