Live Below the Line - Day 3

Today I woke up at 3 pm, as I went to sleep at almost 6 am last night due to trying to put together a video.

Breakfast was toast with fried egg and beans at around 4pm. Then I boiled some rice to take with me to uni. When doing uni work, I always start getting sweet cravings... so unfortunately... I cracked. I bought a Dairy Milk chocolate from the vending machine for 70p. I feel quite bad... I realised that I am just so used to kind of.. getting almost any food I want and sweets, that I cannot cope to live without things like that.

Mmm... Chocolate m&m-s, my favourite

It brings me back memories of my childhood, when I got just one small candy a day. That used to be the total highlight of my day - I enjoyed this one small candy so much and I really appreciated it. Now that I buy a chocolate - yes I do enjoy it, but it doesn't feel as special as it did in the childhood. It's kind of sad, as the older we get, the less we appreciate small things like that. I should really teach myself not to take these things for granted and train myself of maybe having 1-2 days a week that I can treat myself with something like that.  To be honest, I do not eat sweets every single day, but I do crave them every day. I have heard though if you can cope not having any sugar for a whole week, your body is going to get used to it and you will slowly start losing your cravings. Yes it is absolutely hard in the beginning, but will pay off in the end - you will have a slimmer waist and a lighter wallet. I am not sure if I could do that, but I will try to make fruits my only source of sugar.

I was in uni until midnight, so me and my housemate came home and had some tea. This smart price tea is actually quite good with sugar - without its not very nice. I also had some toast.

Tomorrow I am going to participate in a focus group for my friends dissertation and he said there will be snacks, so obviously I am looking forward to getting some different food for a change:)

Talk to you tomorrow!
