Diets can only be started on Mondays !

Well, thats what I am saying and I am sticking to it.  I am so tired to have to constantly and I mean constantly watch every morsel that I put in my mouth !

In the course of the last 18 months I have lost a total of 30kg. Nice. BUT, as I said I have to watch every single morsel, if I don't, it shows instantly and I mean instantly on the scales !  Just before Christmas I was down to where I wanted to be but knew without a doubt with visitors and Christmas there was no hope.  So, from the 23rd December to 3 January I put on 4kg. How do you do that ??? So, I started my diet yet again trying to lose these 4kgs that I put on without too much effort - well you know what I mean...... it took me till the 16th January to lose 3kg.  Then Victor went camping. So the 'normal' person would have persisted but no that was too easy for me, I had to go on an eating spree because I could. It is not that Victor even tells me I am fat, or bothers with what I eat.

I had pizza one day, had a toasted sandwich and an iced coffee when I went shopping one day, had some cereal for breakfast one day and bagels another and some BBQ chicken on a roll with coleslaw another day. That was all of 2 days. I put on 2 kg !  How do you do that ????  Simple - Bloody Carbs !

So I weighed myself this morning, and looked at the scales in utter disgust ! I was going back on the diet today. I usually have an Atkins bar for breakfast which I did.  I walk 5kms most days plus of course all the gardening & housework. So, Victor and I went for a walk and to pick up the Sunday papers and decided to have a coffee in the coffee shop.  Usually, I don't have anything to eat, just a long black and Victor usually has something to eat and I watch and it doesn't concern me. But today, I thought, forget the diet I am going to have my most favourite snack. And had this with my long black.

French Vanilla slice. 

The most salacious, morsel you could ever put in your mouth. I will start my diet tomorrow.
