The Food Diaries – Day Sixteen

Weight: 14st 8lb
Loss so far: –7lb (½ stone award 🎉)

Between safeguarding training in the morning and planning ahead for next week, today was busy but fulfilling. Lunch ended up being much more filling than expected, I started preparing the soup without realising that my husband had treated me to a salad from Subway. Rather than forcing a dinner I didn’t need, I listened to my body and gave it a rest. That’s progress in itself, learning to stop when full, instead of eating out of habit.

Reflections

Today reminded me of the importance of satiety. A high-protein, high-Speed lunch kept me satisfied well into the evening. Ending the day with a sweet treat felt balanced, still within Syns, still on plan. It’s not about perfection, but making mindful choices.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIVUK)
