Week 219

1.2lb loss!

That's good. Of course it's good. But I'm finding real difficulty in getting enthusiastic.

My weight has varied between 13st 5lbs (187) and 13st 8.8lbs (190.8) since the New Year.

All the trials, all the strains, all the fights, all the chewing my arm off instead of giving in to cravings, all the good weeks followed by an uncontrolable blow out, and I'm staying more or less in the same place.

All these epic personal battles, just to maintain.

Morale is low today.

Week 217

0.8lb gain.

Considering this includes 2 a week and 2 weekends away, where it was far more difficult to control the food intake, I'm rather pleased with such a minimal gain.

Of course we've had treats and junk food while away, but I've also tried to be conscious of not losing it completely either.

Damage limitation appears to have paid off :)

Week 215

1.8lb loss!

After so little movement, or movement in the wrong direction over the past several weeks, a loss of this size is a welcome relief.

I've been completely on track all week, with the exception of an ice cream yesterday, so I do feel pleased with myself.

Won't be posting next week as I'm away on a road trip with my son down to Devon. I can't imagine my eating is going to be completely healthy for the 8 days we're away, so it'll be a damage limitation strategy.

Will post again in a fortnight

Week 213

0.6lb loss

Well, a loss at least. However, as I was pretty much on track this week it means last week couldn't have been the abberation I thought it was.

There are times when it feels I haven't a clue what I'm doing any more.

Still, I'll keep plodding on until I remember

Week 212

0.8lb gain?

$%^&(*£&!!!!

And yet I had a near flawless week. I'm desperately hoping this is just an abberation and next week will show it.

I nearly didn't post. It's one day late (I always post my weight on a Monday). But I know it's all far too easy not to post on days you're disappointed, and that way lies out of control spirals.

Week 211

1lb loss!

At least that piece of cheesecake wasn't devestating then :)

2 weeks loss in a row. Hopefully I can make it 3 by next week

Week 210

1.4lb loss!

Probably a bigger loss than I was expecting, but then last week was a bigger gain than I was expecting, so this helps even it out. I guess all the weeping helped...

Something I forgot to mention last week in my despair at that weight gain, is it's 4 years since we began the healthy eating approach to life.

At my lightest, about 18 months ago, I was down to 172.2lbs - about 103lbs less than my original starting weight.

Since then I've regained about 17lbs.

It feels like it's been a long time since I managed several consecutive weeks of being on track.

Week 209

2.4lb gain???

It's a conspiracy, I tell you! They're out to get me. Sure it was my daughter's birthday at the weekend, but 2.4lbs???

Maybe I'll lose it by weeping...
