I’ve taken a few days off – mostly because I’ve got deadlines – but partly because I needed to stand back for a bit to get some perspective. I’m one of the few people I know who like installation art and one of my favourite installations is a collection of supposed fragments from a bombed [...]

Marriage Last 10lbs 18/42
Can’t linger… It’s our anniversary and we’re going out for a wonderful calorie-laden meal tonight. But I still have that 139 in my head. But I DO NOT want that number to make me feel cranky. The Dieter’s Dilemma. So I’m not going to hang around here – but put on my running shoes and [...]

Last 10 Pounds 9/42
The scale says I spent the weekend undoing all my previous hard work. I’m doubting that but it was a teeny poke in the ribs to wake up and do what I want to do. Yesterday wasn’t superb as far as behaviour but I did haul my most unwilling body off the sofa and go [...]

Last 10 Pounds 7/42
The only reason yesterday wasn’t a disaster was that I had exactly the right food in the house and knew what I was going to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The evening was notable for the disastrous football rather than disastrous eating so that’s something. I did have an extra glass of wine for [...]

Last 10 Pounds 4/42
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, [...]

Last 10 Pounds 3/42
Grumpy! But at least it gave me a chance to practice the 139 visualisation about 100 times. It was just one of those days where I normally would have eaten my annoyance with the world just because I couldn’t name the problem and fix it. I still managed to eat reasonably, stay within calories and [...]

Last 10 Pounds 2/42
Yesterday was postitive for food and exercise and, interestingly, also postitive for house cleaning. Positive thinking does have positive results. So now I have sore muscles but a tidy bedroom and slightly less cat hair in the lungs. Foodwise it was easy because it was just a repeat of the day before. Today, we shift [...]

Last 10 Pounds 1/42
OK – This is not going to be exciting but it’s going to be part of the process for me over the next six weeks. Yes, I’ve set a goal and now a deadline! Talk about risky. But it has worked for me before and this isn’t the forever thing. This is getting off the [...]

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 [...]

Cruising
I’m cruising. Inside my head I am ready to lose the “last” 7 pounds. I’m not calling it my goal because I don’t know what it will be like once I get there. Will it be too hard to stay there? Will I be too thin? Will I not be thin enough? So many questions. [...]
