I'm all over the place today in my emotions so not a good diet day.. But I will get back again as I'm still determined but the last couple of days have affected me a bit...
Going off for a walk soon along the Hertfordshire Way with an OS map! Never been very good at map reading so hope I don't get lost! Lol. If I can manage 2 hrs that will be brilliant!!
Might walk off some of the pure and utter cr@p that I've consumed ... Oh well!
It was lovely to get so many lovely comments yesterday at the funeral - made me feel great!

Good idea, get out in the fresh air and let it blow the cobwebs away! Don't be like me, though, and hold the map upside down...

Struggling to see my ebook library on there at the moment, but have fired off an email to the helpdesk, so we'll see.

LOL I know - can't help it.
Sorted the problem using a different (free) app called Moon+, uploaded my calibre library to an online version (actually that did get tecchie, involved finding my local IP address yada yada - thank goodness for google) - and Bob's your uncle!
Off to bed with the ereader shortly - how romantic

What's going on with Pilot? Did you give him the elbow?
I have to say, I love my single life most of the time. When things go belly up, I sometimes wish I had a shoulder to cry on, but it's so nice being able to do what I want, when I want - selfish, but nice - and no smelly socks, jocks and YKW to deal with

Please please don't be disappointed in yourself love. It's the thing I hate most about diets, we set up a system to tell ourselves we're weak and bad and stupid just for doing something very human like taking comfort in food.
You're not being bad, you're being normal. Look at it this way - the average Brit gains 7lbs over the Xmas season. That's the average person, fat or thin to begin with. The people with a metabolic advantage who happen to be thin to begin with may have an easier time losing it but most of them have to put in an effort too. Every year the magazines are full of bikini diets because normal people go through periods - for whatever reason - where they eat more or differently to normal and they want to lose the weight afterwards. It doesn't make them bad or weak or stupid and it doesn't make someone who was heavier to begin with any of those things either. There will always always (perhaps unless you're posh spice) be times when life is more important than diet, whether that's for happy, celebratey reasons or tough and sad ones.
If you go by that 80/20 thing most people say is healthy - well, I reckon this summer has been some of your 20 percent. Really really knuckle down from Tuesday and make the rest of the year your on-plan 80 percent and you'll be doing just fine.
You're a strong lady, Di. You're more than a match for this diet, you just need to try not to pick fights with yourself, too. Be nice to yourself! And part of being nice to yourself is, having given yourself a break, not to feel guilty for that but to start from Tuesday giving yourself the food etc that you know will make you most healthy and happy.
