Let's go round again!!!

The cyclical routine of  - consider a change, start change with enthusiasm, start losing enthisiasm, fall into bad habits due to weak will, beat self up for lack of willpower, slip into comfortable bad habits, justify with starting again next week, stop completely and rue the fact that yet another period of change has been completely undone and ineffective, plan next cycle and start again.
Sort of sums it up eh?
Don't think I missed a stage, but while the mind is still telling me I know what I need to do to get myself on track, the reality is my habits seem to have a will of their own.

I was away last week, yet I did try hard to keep myself on the straight and narrow as much as possible.
I made some lovely clean breakfast bars from one of Rachel Holmes KSFL 30 days detox recipe book and had those each day for my breakfast, and during the morning. (One bar lasted me for a few hours in small pieces).
Lunch was provided, Cold meats, salad, then a host of other salads that I don't actually like anyway (potato, cous cous etc), so in order to stave off the hunger, I chose a small piece of quiche and some cold curried rice as plate fillers.
Evening meal  was more tricky due to eating out and needing some filling food, so I chose reasonably wisely.
I had, Thai fish cakes with sweet potato chips and salad on one evening, and a small ham bubble and squeak with an egg on another and shared a £10 dinner for 2 from one of the big supermarkets, with roasted veg, lemon chicken and garlic mash for the other.
Small portions of most, with not eating much during the day, and I am sure things were going well. Then I got back home.
The train came off the rails a little, though I still tried to minimise it, I was getting back to being hungry out of habit.
It seems for me "going cold turkey" leads my brain to rebel, and as my willpower is weak, I am going to have to attack it in a different way.
My veg intake has become very low over the years, mostly through laziness and bad habit, so I feel that starting by sorting my Veg intake is for me a better way to tackle my seemingly neverending cycle.
I need to be forming new habits.
So, patience and habit re-training is where my focus needs to be. For long term effect I need to get cracking on the small things first, then once they are habits move on to the next ones.
I can see this project is going to take some time. But I am sure I am worth the effort it will need to get me back to more healthy eating habits and out of the destructive cycle I keep finding myself in.
