Me again

Sneaking in at the back and eating a rather large portion of humble pie...

So in the nearly 12 months since I last wrote, how have things been? Not great to be honest. This blog is like a roller coaster of weight loss, emotion, frustration and every other emotion you can think of. I was doing really well last year and lost 2 stone in total. Then we had a bad holiday, my Grandfather sadly passed away rather suddenly, work went ballistic and I started a post-graduate degree. With all that going on, I will be honest weight loss was the last thing on my mind.

In all honesty I'm back, a stone lighter than I was this time last year but still a stone heavier than I was last summer. I'm cross with myself, of course I am. I've never really got my head around how people say they lost 6 stone and then put it all back on - surely you'd know? BUT here I am a stone heavier, I knew it was creeping on but I stuck my head in the sand and ignored my tightening waist bands although I never got to the stage where I was buying bigger clothes which had I got to that stage may have tipped me back into the WW mindset.

This year I've lost and gained the same 7lbs over again and after seeing a really, truly awful photo of me a few weeks ago I've been spurred into action again but I am weak. I have no will power. I know my tipping points and I know my danger zones but I have an problem with food, I have known that for a long time. I know if I write it all down then I do better, I don't know if anyone reads this but this is my therapy. Before t'internet I'd be using a notebook and pen but hey!

It's 16 weeks until our holiday and I think I can probably make in-roads into the flab in that time. My final assignment for my post-graduate course is in this week and finally I will get some time back for myself. I need to plan, plan and plan some more. I need to man up and deal with the cravings and more importantly I need to blog, blog, blog!
