Taking Control

So I want to get back in control?
The first thing I have had to do is stop the comfort eating. Over the last few months I have been eating lots of biscuits between meals. Every so often I did manage to stop for a couple of days, but I soon made up for lost time.
Thankfully my weight doesn't change greatly no matter how much I eat - but I do feel bloated and get headaches when I'm on the biscuits.
I HAVE stopped; I HAVE taken control. Now the difficulty is staying in control.

A benefit of stopping snacking is that I enjoy my proper meals. Now I can really enjoy potatoes.
It's only at this time of year that I like potatoes - boiled, with plenty of butter. No salt because I've got to stay healthy. My current favourites are Sharpes Express, bought freshly dug from a local farm.

When I was at primary school - a small country school with only two teachers - we got a weeks' holiday in October for potato gathering. If you gathered for your father you were unpaid labour; if you were lucky enough to gather for someone else you earned a few shillings. I had to work for my father, who always had one field of potatoes.
It was hard work back in the good old days - with no time for comfort eating of biscuits. My mother rarely bought biscuits. The breadman called twice a week and my treat was a snowball.
Pity there isn't a snowball in the house now...
