1 September 2012 - Long overdue update

Ok, so I know I missed last week's update, but to be honest I was a little fed up having had a bad week in the eating department. I was struggling, I really was. I found out that food seems to taste even nicer during the evenings. No matter what it was, healthy or otherwise. So I was eating more foods at a later hours, which as everyone knows, is the worst time of the day to be eating.

Funny thing was, I was still being good during the day, perhaps maybe I had convinced myself in some level that I would be balancing it out, how silly of me. Late night cheese and toast is not good at all, it just sits in your tummy all night long and in the morning you feel bloated, still yummy though :P

So last Saturday I was half expecting my weight to have gone up radically, but I was wrong, I actually lost a little, not much, but enough for my mind to say, "hang on a minute, maybe I am balancing out", again, how silly of me....

This week however, I made a determined start, time to get rid of the late night cheese and toast and for the better part of it I did. However, it was not perfect, I did slip from time to time, less than before of course, but this week I also had an evening out with my wife for a lovely meal.

As it was coming to the weekend, the day when my diet week starts, I decided the time had come start again. I threw caution to the wind and enjoyed the rest of the week with the determination that this weekend would be the beginning of the end.

So the bottom line is this...it matters not how much I gained or lost over the last two weeks, what matters is that I am moving on, lifting myself out from the hole I landed in and taking matters back into my own hands. I am currently 54lbs lighter than I was when I started, a staggering 24kilos, that's 24 bags of sugar, literally!!

So here's to brighter days and happier times. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support over the weeks, it has been much appreciated.
