Boxing Day Blues

Urgh. I have eaten everything in sight for about the past 6 weeks. It shows as a gain of 6 pounds on the scale. I am back to drinking diet coke too after kicking that habit a few months ago. I usually have just one or two but I know it's not good. I'll try to get that monkey off my back again in the new year.

I quit the diet clinic again because although I was losing weight, I was not "burning" enough for their liking so not only did they tell me no fruits, but also no breads so my few measly Melba toasts were forbidden too! That put me at below starvation calorie levels and made me cranky. So I rebelled and quit for a while.

The quitting made me lazy, hence the weight gain. I'm going to wait a while before I go back, but still try to eat better on my own. I promise.

Frustration

I have only lost one pound in the past few weeks. It is a source of endless frustration for me. I follow the diet plan about 95% and still not much movement on the scale. I am trying a day of just protein to see if that gets the scale moving. I want to lose at least another 10 pounds before I go to Europe.

Happy New Year...Again

I start 2011 at exactly the same weight as January 2010. I am not unhappy about that as it I am usually heavier than the previous year. I am, however, disappointed at my rate of loss. I have been struggling at the clinic and have only lost a few pounds. I am hoping the new year brings new resolve. I have lost 5 pounds so far this week. That's a lot so I know it is largely glycogen and water depletion. I am also once again trying to kick my diet Coke habit. I am down to one a day. I am going to the U.S. soon and the diet Coke there tastes different, and not in a good way. It will be easy for me to give it up there and hopefully, I will stay away from it back home.

Onward and downward and all the best in 2011.
