The Cake Wars

ANYONE who has ever worked in an office will probably sympathise with this week’s dilemma- cakes and biscuits.

Everyone has that person in the work place who will demand cakes be brought in for every birthday, anniversary, new baby and wedding imaginable. I think we once had them just because it was deadline day.

I won’t name the person in our office who has taken on the role of ‘Cake Warlord’, but she knows who she is!

Yesterday (Tues) I was very naughty with my diet. I had a tuna and cheese sandwich on white bread (dum, dum duuuuum) and then happily gorged a bag of white chocolate buttons in front of supportive colleagues screaming ‘noooooo’.

And now today, when I have climbed back on the wagon and want to stick to my salad and plums, someone has brought in biscuits.

Sitting here typing right now I think I am gaining weight just from inhaling the calories. It is taking all the strength I have not to shove one in my mouth and crunch it down before anyone notices.

Having spoken to my boyfriend on the phone and heard ‘but you don’t need to lose weight’ I am feeling more cheery. Maybe HE should have gone to Specsavers! He is obviously with me for my personality- but God knows why. Haha.

Still determined to lose a few pounds and squeeze into the sexy bikini I used to wear when I was a waitress running around in a very hot outfit and doing 8miles a night. (Just to clarify- I didn’t waitress in a bathing suit).

I have noticed my clothes aren’t leaving impressions on me when I take them off at night and my knickers aren’t cutting off the circulation to my thighs due to my expanding *** any more.

I do feel thinner, just not thin. But like anything worth doing, it takes time, motivation and willing.

Looking forward to my next session with Lesley, mainly because she has a comfy couch and a cool pink Buddha I wouldn’t mind stealing for my flat.

But seriously- hypnotherapy is always very relaxing and after a stressful week of driving to Taunton, meeting deadlines and generally rushing around, it will be nice to take five and count some Zees.

Until next time, over and out.
