Week 302

2.2lb gain

Disappointing, but unsurprising. We had a gathering at the weekend, for which Maggie was cooking and baking pretty much all week long. So quite apart from the actual evening itself, there was all the tasting before hand and all the leftovers the following day - and these included some of the scrummiest cakes known to mankind.

I never stood a chance...

Week 300.

Few people are still going with weight-loss blogs this long - either because they've achieved their goals or have given up completely. So why am I still going?

The thing is, I think there's a good chance this is a lifelong thing for me. I don't think I will ever actually get to a point where food is no longer an issue for me. It will always be a struggle on some level or another, so my weight is always likely to bob up and down a bit, depending on my state of mental health.

The function of this blog has always been for me to write down my weight each week so I can either feel a sense of accomplishment if I've lost weight, or have to make a public excuse if I've put it on.

For the foreseeable future I don't see that changing.

Week 299

0.6lb loss.

Heading back in the right direction.

It's been a near perfect week, although at the moment I'm eating more oatcakes as a way of staving off cravings.

Thin rough oatmeal oatcakes, dry (no toppings) have a crunch and chew value to them without too much in the way of calorific excess. Slightly tastier than cardboard and they don't trigger food binges.

Well no surprises there given it was my birthday last week, and I did indulge.

Hopefully should be back on track this week
