Here We Are Again

OK, I’m officially tired of this now.  It’s over a year on and I’m still the same bloody weight – 12 stone 7 lbs.  And still the same dress size – generally a 14 though depending on the make can be anything from a 12 to an 18.

I’ve tried blogging (not very consistently it has to be said); reading fat blogs; creating an Excel exercise tracking log and various other techniques for managing what I know needs to happen: eat a bit less, exercise a bit more!  It’s not rocket science.

This year I’ve tried giving up different things each month:

Jan: alcohol

Feb: second helpings

Mar: kept the second helpings going (March was also during Lent so I pretty much gave up puddings, cakes, biscuits etc as well)

Apr: crisps

May: chocolate and cheese (much harder this one – I mainly stuck to it at home, but things did sneak in whilst I was out)
None of it seems to have made the blindest bit of difference to my weight, though it has given me some control over my eating.   I haven’t gone back to eating crisps in the same way I did before, though I am now going back for second helpings again I note.

Anyway, June’s project is to give up sugar.  I don’t think I can be too extreme about this – I’m not going to worry overly about things like ketchup and chutneys – but I’ll try hard for the rest.  And it’s going to be hard – it’s ice cream season when the sun shines.
