Time for an update, methinks.

So. Christmas has been and gone. Went without event really, I managed to eat the largest meal I'd had for a long time - in a good way - managed a small dinner plate full, taking my time. No major problems, nothing. And it was the first year I didn't feel bloated and nasty for weeks on end.

I've totally lost my taste for a lot of past loves - Christmas always having being my time of year for fruit cake, mince pies, Christmas puds, etc. I've gone off them! Not sure if they're just too much trouble or what, but the appeal has gone. Not saying I'm a role model for good health or anything, just that heartburn isn't fun.

I went to the dietician the other day - disaster. I've only lost 2lb in 6 weeks - they expect 1 to 2 lbs a week really. The truth is, that I'm not sure how it's happened. I got to the point where I was only eating 1 tea plate of food a day, not on purpose, just because I was forgetting to eat. The less you eat, the less hungry you become. Now, when I WAS eating, it was junk, granted, but not a days worth of calories of junk, in one teaplate....

So, we came to the conclusion (one that I thought was just a fat persons excuse for not losing weight, but turns out it might be true...?) that my body had gone into starvation mode, becoming more effective at storing fat. This, coupled with the fact I'm still doing no excersise (this *IS* a fat persons excuse though, I'll admit to this one) - I'm leaving myself somewhere to go when the weightloss stops ;) - and the junk was obviously not helping.

So, this week, I've really got back on track - been eating tasty prawn salads, soups, mueseli for breckie - and enjoying it! I think I go through fads - eat healthy for 6 months, get bored, eat junk for 6 months, get bored, etc etc.... Anyway, despite this, the weight is still not shifting as I want it to! What's that all about? Maybe I'm doing that impatient thing that I always do, I mean, I have lost 1 lb or so this week, that's kinda on track isn't it? I just thought that I might have one of my mega losses again. I'm also trying to get my 2 litres of water down, I really believe this aids your weight loss too.

I'm half cheesed off, half happy to be back on track, we'll just have to see how it goes. I did realise that my last pictures are from 1 stone ago, so I'm about due for new ones. That (hopefully) might cheer me up? I've got an excuse to use the posh new camera I got at Christmas too....

Other news in my world. Me and me man are doing up our seperate houses to sell, and buy a posh new pad nearby together. I mean, I practically live together now, except with two set of bills and mortgages. It makes sense after 6½ yrs together. I'm excited though, we've seen a house we both love, with a beautiful long view of the countryside from the living room - it's ace. Keep your fingers crossed that we'll sell ours and get this dream one.

Weight: 12 st. 05 lb.
