Week 168

1.4lb loss!

Another near faultless week, and another loss. I'm on a roll!

Hmmm... trying not to think of bacon roll, sausage roll, swiss roll, chocolate roll...

Starting Weight: 19st 9lb - 275lbs

Week 167

2.2lb loss!

Woohoo!

Hah! An entire week with no slip-ups. Healthy choice each time. Stopping eating when the plate is empty and not prowling for more.

And it works.

As it always does.

So long as I focus on eating healthily and cutting out the extras and the processed crap my body starts losing naturally.

Hopefully I can now keep this state of mind which has stayed with me for more than 5 consecutive days this time.

1lb gain.

Nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, bollocks.

Still going in the wrong direction.

Week 165

1lb gain.

I knew it was all going to fall apart on Friday when not only was I meeting a friend for lunch, but we were having a large family gathering and meal in the evening. Then Saturday was a day of struggling as the fallout from the day before made itself felt through massive cravings and a battered will that was unable to resist.

However I was on track for the other 5 days of the week, so the net gain of 1lb isn't too bad I guess. However, I am now 13lbs heavier than my lightest point over a year ago. This week I have high hopes for the real turnaround beginning.

Week 164

Same as last week

At least it's not climbing.

No words of insight this week. I know what's going on, but there are some things I cannot blog about under my own name

Week 163

2lb gain

Well clearly last weekend's indulgence has finally metabolised and caught up with me - I knew that 1lb loss was unlikely to stay there.

And of course there has still been the odd Easter treat lying around the house needing to be cleared up.

At least I know where it's coming from.

Week 162

1lb loss

Quite frankly I'm stunned by this loss, and don't actually believe it.

I'll accept the idea that the vast amounts of chocolate consumed yesterday haven't yet had time to metabolise, but I've definitely overeaten this past week. My only conclusion is I must be dehydrated and it will all show up next week

Week 161

0.2lb loss

Ah well, at least it's not a gain.

I would have thought that with the depression under control with the anti-depressants, that staying on track would have been a great deal easier. But it appears I was wrong.

As I've stated many times before the reasons for overeating are many and complex, and when we attribute them to a single cause we are blinding ourselves to all the others.

Because the depression has been the dominant theme for so long I'd almost forgotten all the other reasons at work.

Guess I have to start working on them again...

Bleargh

Week 159

0.8lb gain.

Maggie and I have had long discussions about her ability to bake mouthwateringly scrumptious scones, cakes and biscuits before now, and how they don't help keep the weight off.

However, what are you to do when she teaches the children how to bake and not only can you not refuse because, well, they're your children, but they have also inherited her incredible talents, so you cannot stop at one?

Sigh...
