Week 241

1.6lb loss.

Surprisingly, a near faultless week.

Last Monday was our 14th wedding anniversary and the blow-out was big, but we've been on track ever since, even getting through the weekend without a blip for the first time in quite a while. I'm hoping this might be the turn of the tide

Week 240

2.4lb gain.

Read Ties over on my main blog and it might give you an idea of the emotional pressure of the last several weeks.

Damage limitation is all I've been able to do for quite some time now

Week 239

Not really analysing at the moment, just recording the weight. Too much else happening to life

Week 238

2.4lb gain

I have now returned to 14 stone - a place I haven't been since early April 2006.

I would weep, but there are other things I am weeping harder for these days. And the emotional distress never made weight control easier.

I'd decided that if I hit this mark again I would return to wearing 36" waist jeans.

On the one hand it's an obvious sign of defeat, but damn, they're so much more comfortable than the 34s

Week 237

0.4lb loss

Although I had a really good week, I had a really bad weekend. We had a party/gathering where Maggie produced things like New York Baked Cheesecake, Chocolate Torte and Chocolate Fudge Brownies.

I never stood a chance

I think this just confirms the illness last week threw my weight out for whatever reason.

Week 235

1.2lb gain.

I've got a really stinking cold - my head hurts, my eyes are sore, I can't breathe properly so am sleeping really poorly. I don't actually care about my weight at the moment

Well, that's a bit of a relief, especially as things did go a bit overboard with Maggie's birthday. However, for the first time in a while I had a complete weekend under control and that's certainly helped.
