I am just back from the gym and am fed and watered and am coping much better today that I was last night.
I don’t sleep incredibly well and so sometimes take a anti-histimine to aid sleep (it stops me picking if I am sleeping!) but I didn’t get to sleep until like 2am-ish. From [...]

My weightloss nurse keeps telling me not to be so hard on myself even though I don’t know where she gets the idea that I am. It is true that I am hard on myself but I just don’t know where she would get that from, it’s not like I confide in her my [...]

I don’t normally like to talk about my day to day pound losses in the week, partly due to possible flutuations but also because it means it sounds better in my weekly weigh in on Friday, but today I just cannot help myself.
You see, I am in the 17-stone range at long last! When [...]

Although I haven’t always been able to use the word “fat”, this is precisely what I have been since about 1999 when I started compulsive eating. That is 8 years living as a fat person and in this time I have been eating like it is going out of fashion. Not only in the [...]

Well, by hook or by crook I have  made it 4 weeks dieting! Weightloss has been much slower this week, due to a couple of pitfuls, but I am satisfied that I have lost 2lbs more. My weight, BMI, body fat weight have all reduced but for some reason my body fat % has [...]

Urgh, I am so ill. I have had a really dry, tickly cough for a few days but otherwise felt okay. I bought some strepsils yesterday before heading to the gym, but once working out I soon realised that all was not well in camp Groovybabe.
I did try to do as much of a [...]

My mum and me, we don’t get on very well. I have just spent 10 minutes with her in the car dropping my son off at his preparation day at senior school and I am close to tears. Or it could just be that TOM showed up yesterday and I am exceptionally hormonal. Either [...]

Yesterday wasn’t so good. I slipped. I don’t know what came over me but when I was cooking the dinner I accidently happened to eat TWO WHITE baps. I really don’t know why. I don’t even like or ever eat white bread. But I do think this binge had been on the cards for [...]

Yesterday was a bit hairy in places. There was a period in the afternoon where I felt an overwhelming urge to stuff my face. I don’t know where it came from but I was closer than I have been in the last three weeks to giving in to the feeling. About 4pm I decided [...]

Blisters are the Devils work. I h ave just been walking for an hour and a half, like I said - the Devil’s work…
Today is not an ‘exercise day’, per sae. I go to the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Other days are recovery days. Normally I need them but for some strange [...]
