Battling the Blubber

I’m stuck! I don’t seem to be able to shift anywhere, I’m spending a whole week fluctuating between 87kg and 85kg and not once have I managed to dip below my last weigh in. I really need to try and up my activity levels but it’s getting a lot warmer and excessive activity just makes me sweat buckets. No time to blog much because these writing gigs are stepping up in volume. Friday 12 th June – Weigh-in (I don’t think so) Not good, not weighing in today because I have been monumentally remiss in sticking to my fast days. Too busy to exercise, too much RSI to move. I haven’t been keeping up with my food diary in fact I’ve not even thought about calorie content at all. Just too tired.

Well, after I spent a weekend pigging my way through my in-laws larder and not weighing in last week, I am unsurprised to find I have lost a grand total of…400g, taking me down to 86.4kg. It may not be much but it is still a step down and down is the way I want to go. Tonight I shall mostly be… stress/comfort eating. I have my Greek exam tomorrow morning. Friday 15 th May – Weigh-in Celebration times! I managed to surpass my next target milestone (85.2kg) and I’m now happily sitting at 84.8kg. I’ve made a more friends, taken my Greek exam (and passed), and I’ve landed a couple of long-term writing and proof-reading projects. On the reward scheme I have achieved a second Lindy Bop dress.Unfortunately, it seems that no matter how much of this extra weight I’m losing, I will never fit into a Ready-To-Wear dress or even a top. I’m doing ok at the moment using belts to cinch in the waist but I would really like the ability to wear something that genuinely fits me...
