Ouch - How'd THAT happen?!?!?!


115.3kg is what those damn obnoxious scales flashed up at me on Monday morning!!!!!
I nearly fell off the buggers!!
I know that I have had my head in the sand a bit lately, but I really didn't expect that number!!!
Put me in a right foul mood for the day I can tell ya!!!

But the planets realigned and all is right with the world again, because this morning, the numbers read 112.2kgs!
That would mean a loss of 2.1kgs in just 2 days!!
So I'm not sure if my scales were just being cruel on Monday, or if maybe I was retaining water or whatever, but I am MUCH happier with the number that I got this morning!
OK - so it is still a couple of kilos above where I was a few months ago, but hey - I've been living it up a bit lately, so it was bound to happen!

I developed an unhealthy addiction to Cheezels and pineapple lumps, but I am proud to say that I have now beaten that addiction - THANK GOD!!!

After doing some thinking, and some reading, and some soul searching, I have decided that I can deal with my food demons head on, and get through it all.
Or I can continue to deny that I have a self destructive relationship with food, and continue to gain weight, and see my goal slip further and further from my grasp.

The past three days I have been PLANNING my food, THINKING about what has been going into my mouth, and feeling good about it all!!!
I made sure that there were NO bags of cheezels in the trolley on grocery day, and there are none in the cupboard either.

Instead, there was bran flakes, natural yoghurt, fruit, loads of vegetables, whole grain bread (instead of the thickest fattest white bread I could find), low fat spread (instead of butter) and some WW cereal bars too just for good measure!
So instead of white toast with butter and peanut butter for breakfast like I have been having every other morning, I had bran flakes with natural yoghurt.  And ya know what???  It was bloody nice!!!  And damn filling too!!!!
Lunch today will be a salad and tuna sandwich, instead of whatever crap the lunch bar on the corner is offering!

It's funny, I didn't realise how much crap I was really eating, until I sat down and looked at it HONESTLY!
So, now it's time to get back on the wagon, saddle up, and make my way to the finish line.
It's not gonna be a speedy process, but It's gonna happen!!!
I've said before that 2007 will be my year, and I will get to goal!!
Well, I'll say it again.......... I WILL get to goal this year!

26.2kgs to lose to get to the Weight Watchers goal of 86kgs.
40 weeks to do it in....
I CAN do this!!
I WILL do this!

And like I have said before - my journal isn't a big part of my life anymore, but I'll still update on my progress, my highs and lows when I feel like it, but it wont be every day that's for sure.
Hell, it might not even be every week, but I'll still be here.... getting lighter and healthier!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!
