Hello, my name is Beardy and I’m a foodoholic.
It’s now the new year and so I’ve decided I need to do something about the excess fat I’m carrying; it’s getting in the way of my attempts at running and cycling as well as all sorts of things. Well, it’s being blamed for my sloth at the moment.
I’ve come to the conclusion over the many attempts I’ve used to reduce my weight, that the primary, nay the only, way to lose weight is to take on less calories than you use. And so I’m counting calories. I know that the start of any diet is straightforward, but sometime between week two and week three, I’ll start to slip, so I’ll be back here boring you all with my attempts to stay on the straight and narrow.
Now here’s the thing, and I believe the reason for my persistent wagon falling. I’m finding it very difficult to eat enough. I’m eating what I would normally at meals and avoiding most snacking (especially late evening snaking). I’ve been doing this,for 5 days now, and I’ve yet to break into the target band. My weight has ripped a little, but I know that’ll be mostly water. I’m trying to drink 2l + of water a day, but that’s also a struggle.
I’m just considering walking town to the corner shop to buy some beer, but I might just go into the kitchen instead and get some more water. And maybe a wee dram. It’s cold outside.
