Update
Now last night I was a tad naughty but
not in a truly terrible way... I had a piece of gammon, that was it,
just gammon, not a bit piece either, it was left over from the meal mum
cooked and I couldn't resist, it is at least protein.. albeit a bit
salty.. she had cooked it in healthy way though... anyway I justified it
to myself as you can see!
Today I have just been to the gym.. and this time when I say the gym... I
actually mean the gym rather than sat in KFC car park stuffing my
face!!! I am trying to get back into the good habits I had when I
joined the gym in December... the times when going to the gym meant
exercising and not sneaking food.... anyway I have done a 2 1/2 mile
run/walk as I really want to get back into my running, half the reason I
put on weight (the other half being over-eating obviously!), is that I
stop running... when I am feeling good and thin, I run and then alcohol
and food take over in importance, including the inevitable hangovers and
required fry ups and therefore the runs get put to one side and then I
find myself weeks down the line a non-runner... so anyway I did run/walk
- 1 minute run at 6mph pace, then 2 min walk at 3.5mph pace, repeated
10 times 
Of course when I did this mini marathon (as I like to think of it), I
hadn't consumed any shakes and I got back from the gym feeling a tad
light-headed! Just had a CD Porridge and feel okay now.. after the run I
did a mile on the exercise bike too.. think I will miss that bit out
until I have been on the diet for another week or so, when my energy
levels rise!
No dog walking today (hence the eager trip to the gym) as my dog has a
poorly shoulder, and I have been walking her on the lead only for the
last two weeks, combined with the tablets the vet gave me, but since she
can't walk calmly to save her life I think a day or two of complete
rest may help considerably.. of course she isn't too good at resting
completely either, and is currently tearing around the lounge with her
teddy in her gob!
Anyway I have digressed, weighed myself first thing today and I still
15st 11... so no loss since yesterday but then I did have that piece of
gammon!

...........it starts tomorrow
Okay so like all good diets mine is starting tomorrow...
I am truly hopeless these days at actually sticking to a diet... in the
last three years, I have successfully dieted twice.. well I say
successfully, obviously I lost all of the weight I intended to lose,
however I put it back on again or I wouldn't actually be needing to diet
again now would I... so it was a tad unsuccessful in that respect.
Anyway
my first big diet at the end of 2006/beginning of 2007, I lost 5 stone,
I was down to a size 12 (in fact one skirt was a 10 - probably
mislabelled though!!) and I was totally pleased with myself, I never
cheated once on the diet, I just did it... It was the Cambridge Diet
Sole Source programme and I thought it was the best diet ever.. in fact
if I could have never eaten another morsel of food again, I'd still be a
happy skinny me.. but alas food did once again pass my lips and after
about a year, I'd put most of it back on.. give it a few months more and
I had put it all back on!
So, fast forward to June 2009, where I
was actually heavier than I had been the first time I started the diet
in June 06, heavier by a full stone! I embarked on Cambridge SS again...
and I lost about 4 stone I think it was, so I hadn't got down to my
previous slinkyness but I was happy enough to start letting food slide
down my throat again... so before I even reached goal I started to put
some on.. and right now, I am 9lbs lighter than when I started in June
09.. so before I put that 9lbs on again and actually announce to the
world that I put every last pound back on, I thought I may start to diet
now! I have 5 stone to lose to be down to size 12 again, or 6 stone to
lose to make it to my lightest weight for about 20 years!!!!
I
was a skinny child, I never started to put weight on at all until I
discovered takeaways at about 18 .. yes until then an Indian or Chinese
takeaway had never been eaten! So I blame my boyfriend at the time for
introducing these evil but delicious treats to me and therefore causing
my weight battle...! The rest of my adult life I have generally hovered
around the size 14 mark.. until the recent years where I have jumped to
a size 18 (or a size 16 when I am being awkward and refusing to buy any
larger clothes - its amazing what you can do if you pull the skirt up
to your ribs and leave the zip halfway undone!
I have been
attempting to start a diet now for at least 4 weeks, if I'm honest its
been more like 4 months of "I'll diet tomorrow" something always tempts
me away from starting.
I have temporarily moved back into my
parents house at the beginning of December due to my landlady wishing to
move back into her house. Mum constantly nags me to lose weight and
cooks me very healthy meals, so it has been a challenge to eat something
naughty.. and I love a challenge! So instead of viewing this as an
opportunity to lose weight and embark on a healthy eating plan, I have
instead developed a sneaky challenge of smuggling wine or biscuits into
my temporary bedroom and stuffing my face merrily - even worse, I have
been going to the gym now for nearly 2 months, about 2 weeks ago I
noticed it was the ideal opportunity to stuff my face!!! I shout to my
mum that I am off to the gym.. and then I go to Morrisons/KFC/McDonalds*
(*delete as appropriate) and eat instead!
What is most shocking
is that I pat myself on the back for successfully completing my sneaky
mission instead of feeling guilty about a) lying b) eating!
Today,
was going to be day one of my FINAL EVER DIET, but I had to nip to Post
Office to post some letters for work and this was too good an
opportunity to miss, I rang the local cafe and ten minutes later a
Sausage, Egg & Bacon sandwich was in my grubby (just a turn of
speech, they were clean really) little mitts!
So here's to day one ..... again... tomorrow
