Hi all!
Well, here's my week:
- last week i had my first big big test. and i failed. i've always struggled with uni-stress-related eating... and i confess i haven't been tested in the las 4 months, so here it came. I've got the emotional eating under control, and the hungry binge eating undercontrol - now its just the uni-stress related one that i have to deal with.
I think i've realised that i can't "walk and chew gum at the same time" - i.e. i can eat healthy until the uni stress comes, then i have to divert all my attention to getting that work done and can no longer even think about healthy eating. So i subconsciously go back and forth to the kitchen, because i'm so nervous about getting work done. I'll admit it wasn't a bad overeating session - if i took an average of my 'pre-4months-ago" binges, this would have been a lot lot less. But i still consider it a relapse.
I know the stress will hit again late this week: - my final version of my report is due (last week it was just the draft). So as long as i 1) don't leave it till last minute, 2) make sure if fit in 30min of exercise a day to get the endorphins flowing, 3) eat enough healthy and filling food (pre-prepared, so i don't have to worry abotu it - i'll make some meals todya and freeze them) then i should be ok.... lets hope it works!

Meanwhile, after my thursday 'binge' decided to start officially back at WW, though i was curious about Core - and core is awesome! It's almost exactly the same as to what i was doing before (i havent really made any changes!) but it just gives me some accountability that will hopefully motivate me to break the '70' mark, and hopefully eventually hit/break the '60'.
Well, i have actually made a few changes. Even though some of it works against my uni studies a bit (i.e. not principles, but some of the methods - i.e. 1 tsp oil vs 1 tsp sunflower seeds... why is the former core, and the latter isn't, when i'm within my daily 2 tsp allowance?). and if core is all abotu eating when you are hungry, stopping when you are full - then why should it matter if i drink 'non-core' low fat milk, as opposed to 'core' skim milk?
Anyway... here's to next week...
weighed in last friday at ww at 74kg (different scales, after binge, and with clothes... is the only explanation i can offer... but my scales say i'm at 70.5)... but both will show a decline if there has been one!
Love Nikki

Hi Nikki,
I just wanted to say that your blog is great! As well as that, we have a few similarities. I too have slimmed down from 80 kg to about 70 kg or so at the moment, I just need to lose another 10 to reach my goal. I'm a student as well, so it's good to see someone else at a similar stage of life with similar goals track their progress. All the best!
