I began a diary on Minimins in April last year, starting weight 14st 11Ib and was horrified to think that if I ate a few more portions of chips I'd top the 15stone mark - where it would end from there for me? I couldn't risk it. Then Minimins closed! It had become a real part of my journey and I didn't realise how much I relied on my daily posts to keep me on track. Needless to say (yes Minimins it was all your fault.!!!) 
I put the weight back on, although I don't think I'm quite to 14st 11Ib but not far off.
Anyway, I'll be weighing tomorrow and taking measurements and I'll post the damage then. Tomorrow will be day 1. I've started a new full time job and am only on my first week so early days, a new challenge will be shift work - I'll be working days, nights, long shifts. But I can use that as an excuse or an opportunity. I think I'll choose the opportunity option. What's the point in using excuses? There really isn't an excuse for my weight gain. I just use food for comfort, I eat too much and I need to stop!
Shake That Weight worked really well last year and I love the flavours so I know it works if I stick to it. Simple! Well, it would be simple if I was a robot with no hormones or life's little troubles that creep up and whack me on the backside when I'm least expecting were to get lost. I know it's going to be tough, but I am tougher.
Yet again I've become a bit of a recluse, running a mile if there's an invitation and it means seeing people I've not seen for a while (ooohh those knowing looks) she's gained all that weight back hasn't she?! Or having a breakdown if there's an unexpected visit from my bf's family which also entails hauling my huge frame out in to the light and smiling and pretending I haven't noticed either that I look like I've eaten my boyfriend whole....he's quite small, he got on the scales the other day and was 10st 10Ib. He is underweight at the moment and trying to put weight on - don't even go there! Don't you just hate that??!! Grrrr. no he's great and very supportive.
So, here we go. Roll on tomorrow!!
