This weeks
increase of 1kg makes it clear that I am putting too many calories into a large hole with too few calories being discarded from a smaller hole
A serious effort is needed to give visible results so here is the plan,arrived at after careful consideration over the last couple of days.
1. Get a sports bra to control recently developed man-boobs when going up & down the stairs to use the bathroom
2. Wear a smock(must get one with 3 pockets on the back) to disguise the 24 weeks pregnant waist profile.
3. Cut out bread,biscuits,crisps,vanilla slices & other anti-smoking substitutes & guilty pleasures.I think I may have broken the habit after 10 years.
4. Eat more fruit as snacks using the grazing method of combating hunger instead of 3 meals a day plus rubbish referred to in item 3.
5. Alter habits & routines to make more time available for exercise so that I can instigate an exercise programme
6. Cycle & walk more on short journeys.
I must admit that I find any attempt at dieting,however casual,extremely difficult & a severe test of will-power:so much so that I consider that I had less difficulty giving up smoking than I do with not eating the biscuits & vanilla slices that I am so fond of.
The most frustrating aspect is that I did lose 5kg over a period of Jan to Dec a couple of years ago with very little effort & now struggle to achieve the same results.Perhaps some new scales is the answer,from tha same company that made my spirit level with the bubble painted onto the glass
