I slipped up at lunch and tea. I had noodles with fried chicken.  I am still struggling with the “if you eat one, it is a licence to eat all” attitude where a bit of unhealthy food triggers more unhealthy eating.  I think I will incorporate shiva’s rule about cravings and wait till I lose 1.5 kilos before indulging in cravings. Also, when I do indulge in craving, I will do it in style, which means have my murukku/cake/samosa slowly with my coffee, savouring every bite, without chomping through it.

As Churchill (the colonial era British PM is not my fav of political personalities) said long ago, "try, try and try again till you succeed"
