WAI: bad habits and distractions!!!

So we all have a bad habit or two,  and  they are usually harmless, but sometimes they can be big detractors from our goals or end game. I went to SW last week and to my most pleasant surprise I lost 2&1/2 pounds when i really thought i would maintain, and that got me thinking, if i had not done this and i had not done that, that 2& 1/2 pounds could have been 4! Greedy yes? My  point is why continue to maintain detractors, that will make you sad and fed up in the long run.  So I have had a long hard  look at myself and my habits, and these are my top 5!

1. I suddenly get hungry when i see cake - no word of a lie, but yesterday for the first time i managed to beat it. So this is the scene.. come back to my desk after lunch and a young lady had brought cake for the team to say thanks, anyhow i was fine to begin with, as i had just eaten yes? however the cake being there, everyone coming to take a piece etc was really getting to my psyche, all of a sudden about 2 hours later, i was hungry. Too funny, i mean its not as if i did not have a substantial lunch, i continued to ignore it, as i believed i should not be hungry, but the longer it went on the more physical the hunger was getting.  Luckily I won this battle on this occasion because I had soup in the fridge, so i told myself as i was hungry I was better off having the soup and did so. Battle over. I think we can safely say this was more of a psychological battle rather than physical. its big issue for me, because often i end up eating stuff because i do not want to offend. 
2. I don’t count my syns properly. Its not intentional, I just don’t seem to do it I start off with all the good intentions, but then i start telling myself stuff, like oh well its only a little, or its only about 3 syns, when all i have to do is reach for my phone that is always with me, yes. or in my bag for the book, but no Nike knows best. Well here is a note to yourself Nike you don’t know best, Slimming World has paid lots of nutritionist and other scientists to work this all out. 
3. I do not measure my healthy extras.  My A is always milk because I drink a good bit tea and coffee during the day. And there in lies the issue with the  A box,  I hardly ever have to make my own tea or coffee, because other people are always doing the tea round. (don’t call me lazy) These amenities are provided free for us at work. its all an excuse and a habit that needs changing, assistance on that one is surely needed.  As for my b box? What can I say? its up and down like a yo yo, sometimes its the hi fi bar, but that does not do anything for me, as they are like a snack and the porridge * 35 g of it is really not enough. i had worked out that 5 tbsp was 35g, ( i measured it and counted the no of tbsp)  but yep you guessed it, not enough, i could go on and on, we know that different types of heathy extra Bs are abound on SW, but i just can’t seem find satisfaction. hmm, really i can’t use soup as a distraction for everything. Anyhow its a bad habit in serious need of fixing. 
4. I stay up late, and i know that staying up late makes me hungry, but there are not enough hours in the day. I mean, i have to go to Zumba, to Tae kwan do, to SW and worst of all i have to go to work, i have to watch Criminal minds, i have to watch the football, i have to do all manner of things, yes, so how do I strike that balance. I have to be honest here, i do not always give in to the hunger pangs at night, but invariably this means when i get up in the morning to go to work, I am usually ravenous, and the whole vicious circle starts again.
5. I don’t make sensible choices when i am out ( well not very often) this one I think is self explanatory and downright foolish. Don’t even know what to say so I won’t say anything except its yet another bad habit that needs curtailing. 

So I ask myself again, what is my end game? What am I willing to do to achieve them?
