January 10th 08

Well after losing something in the region of 39lb with weight watchers in 2005 and managing to more or less keep it off, I discovered that after two lovely holidays in July 07 in Jamaica and October 07 in Devon, issues with the bulge have once again decided to rear their ugly head.

I know in my heart that being a smaller size first of all makes me feel so much better and second of all makes me feel that little more confident so I will not let the chance escape me to get myself back on track.

I have just been working out how much I would like to lose, at first I was thinking about ten or so pounds, that would make me happy and more comfortable as I know thats a fair weight for me to be at to be content with myself.

However I have just sat down with pen and paper and realised that if I could lose 20lbs, that would put me in the 10 stones region and if I could aim for that and achieve it, then that is me in 'estatic' range  

My aim is to take some of WW advice, but basically my rules are to eat healthily, eat low fat and to eat smaller portions and to do my best to cut down on my two devil foods, bread and wine.

This is my second week and ive made some pleasing achievments already.

For the very first time in my life I have not eaten bread all week, not for the past eight days in fact, it was never my intention to cut it out altogether as I am always of the reasoning that a little bit of what you fancy does you good, but, its just so happened that ive managed to find preferable althernatives for now that leave me more sustained than bread does, so I am happy with that.

The second acheivement was that I managed to drink only two glasses of wine this week, a marvellous achievment I can tell you!

The third achievment this week was my weight loss ~ 3.6lb

I am more than pleased with that and long may it continue!
