So. Did I have enough calories for eating what I ate yesterday? Yes – with lots left over. Did I binge? Nope – bingeing doesn’t happen often anymore. Was I stuffed full? No. Was I happy with my eating? Sadly, no. In a normal “diet” just scraping by with the right numbers is fine. However, [...]

Getting What I Want
I speak for women in general and myself in particular when I say that we’re not always very good at deciding what we want and going for it. I suspect that, for me, I don’t dare to be ambitious because the risk of failure is too high. There’s certainly an element of that in my [...]

Perspective
Do you ever scare yourself by looking at your face in the mirror too closely? It’s usually while I’m putting on makeup that I notice every crease and wrinkle. And let’s not even start a conversation about the horrors waiting in the magnified version – especially relating to stray hairs. Anyway – the point is [...]

1 Day
As opposed to Day 1. I’ve had a lot of those, but this is Day Countless and I’m happy with that. In between masses of work related things to do and life related things to do, I’ve been thinking and observing. Observing first: The eating while waiting for the kettle to boil is a THING. [...]

Diet Blog Hell
I have become the blogger I hate. It is tempting, day after day, to whinge on about needing “to get back in the game”. So now, as my mother would say, it’s time to pee or get off the pot. I wrote that this morning then closed it up and thought about how unhappy I [...]

Moving On from BCB
I’m a change addict. I love a new day, a fresh start, a clean slate and every other cliché you can throw at me. But change isn’t always pain free. Take the recent events over at BCB. During a much needed, but perhaps not completely well thought out, spring cleaning of the boards, my whole [...]

Stating the Obvious
Ready? Eating well makes your whole body feel better. Obvious? Yes. Needs to be re-learned on a regular basis? Yes. Not drinking wine is a sacrifice on the one hand but a bonus on the other. Not filling up on carbs is a sacrifice on the one hand but a bonus on the other. I [...]

Stepping Out
New month and a fresh start. I’ve gained several pounds and am going to take them off. I think I’ll just post my daily weight here à la Bridget Jones. Day 1 weight: 149lbs units of alcohol: 0 This is in arrears for yesterday, just in case anyone was worrying. I have a feeling that [...]
