Some diet thoughts
I'm over a stone heavier than my lowest diet weight (i.e. the lowest I've weighed since I started dieting in earnest two and a half years ago). Oops! My lowest weight was 13st 6½ pounds, and on Wednesday I weighed in at 14st 8. I've gained an inch around my waist.
I had two major triggers at the end of 2010 which was connected to this weight gain. In autumn I had an infestation that took me right back to the time when I was neglecting my daughter. In December I had my usual c****mas angst, again connected with my daughter. I binged and binge drank on and off through this period because I just couldn't find another way to cope.
I'm on the one hand trying to make sure I don't beat myself up too much, and on the other hand I'm trying to re-focus on my diet and fitness plan in order to turn things round. It's kind of difficult to do both of these at the same time! No complacency, but dieting and fitness with self-kindness.
