After initially losing 10 pounds in the first week and a half of the diet I didn’t lose anymore weight. I was walking and working my arms and my legs and sticking to my diet. There have been days which I’ve gone over 500 calories, so I accept my body has probably not properly been [...]

I invited Olivia, my 8 year old daughter, to join me in my bedtime exercises tonight and she quite happily did so. After we finished our 30th sit up (me with a sheen of sweat on my forehead and a bit of a gasp) she crawled across the bed, gave me a hug and chirped [...]

Getting into the groove now. It’s not quite so intense, almost like it’s a way of life now. I’m used to the hunger, it bothers me, but it’s not so all encompassing.

“So, you’re saying that fat people are fat because they’re lazy sods who sit around eating all day?”
“Well…. need I say anything?”
She’s referring to me, apparently since I am overweight I [...]

Day One: Took the train to work today. Bliss. Waited less than five minutes at the station, had six seats to myself and read Anna Karenina and admired the scenery. Walked from the station to the office. Wooded and fields. Beautiful. Got lost 4 times but 4 wonderful, friendly people gave me directions. Took 40 [...]
