The most positive spin to put on my attitude toward myself would be to describe me as “self-depricating”. A lecturer once told me I am “very modest”, my best friend tells me that I sell myself short, that I do not give myself the credit I am due. I think anyone who has known [...]

Here are some ways I have stayed in control today and thus should be proud of myself for:

Been bored silly and not resorted to binge eating. I have blogged, defragged computers, annoyed my brother and the kids - anything to avoid food. But really it is not a big issue.
I bought jam doughnuts for [...]

I’ve tried many diets in the past and all of them, this one included, have one thing in common: I have found it very hard to control what I eat in the evenings. I am not sure why this is but I have a fear of hunger; if I think that I won’t have [...]

Didn’t you know?!! LOL! I was feeling really hormonal down today again (don’t you hate TOM!) and was on the verge of not going at all but I told myself off and got my arse to the gym! And I went hardcore!
I was struggling on the cross trainer 3 minutes in and was on [...]

I don’t normally buy glossy magazines but I bought August’s UK Cosmo because a friend has written an article in it. The reason I mention it is that there is a really good article with Jennifer Lopez about weight and the size Zero phenomenon.  She says that she could never achieve that shape with [...]

My body has slimmed down
I’ve gone down a dress size
I have more energy
My face is looking slimmer (not just less water but my chin is even gaining a more pointy shape)
The bags under my eyes have reduced (I’ve always had them but they look less pronounced lately)
Better, more even moods
More active
Clearer skin
Scales have gone down!
80% [...]

Weigh In week six.. who’d have thunked I’d still be going strong at this stage? The way I am going, even *I* am going to have to start believing that I am doing it this time!
Okay. So although my loss is technically low this time, it is such a huge success at the same [...]

I am so pleased with myself right now because I am back down to 17.10!! I rock!! I didn’t think I’d get there yet so I am floating on air. I may be able to get down 1lb more for my weigh in tomorrow! Fingers Crossed!
I also went to the gym yesterday despite starting [...]

We have had the bathroom redecorated and this has meant re-hooking the bathroom cabinet/mirror on the wall. Only they’ve put it too high and literally all I can see is my nose and above, just like in my header picture! Not seeing in the mirror is not a bad thing though!
So, you know how [...]

I slipped this weekend. It was at the end of the night fri-sun night. Friday night I had the opportunity to go out but then my friend couldn’t get a sitter so it didn’t happen. I overate on fruit, feeling sorry for myself, but stopped before any damage was done. Saturday I just got [...]
