The Diet Guy
Hiya
Thought I would answer you in a new thread so not to nick that new persons thread.
Yeah been a year now!! mad really!! I remember back to when I finished and the blind panic of putting the weight back on but I am still at goal weight so maybe I have found something in my new regime and tend to tick along nicely most of the time.
I have realised that the all or nothing mentality you have while on the diet has to be kept after the diet, I know people struggle with eating "a bit" as suddenly you lose the strictness of the diet but I still have that all or nothing mentality. For example I never ever ever eat in my office unless it is my packed lunch, it was my birthday on Monday and I took in 2 cakes but I never ate any of it, I also never eat past 8pm in the evening now, full stop, end of!! It isn't that I now starve as I still eat nice food, drink wine and have kebabs but I just keep a close eye on myself and remind myself it is a quick trip back to the big trousers
In terms of society it has been a weird year! I don't get the respect I had before and people tend to challenge me a lot more than they ever did but also people tend to confide in me more and see me as less of a threat, but then again some male friends now treat me as a threat to them somehow, very weird! I spent a lot of time analysing myself and the way I am treated and I treat others and have learnt some things about myself and my friends!
I have started writing a book about the diet, the weight loss and all to do with the wonderful world of this mad diet so hopefully it will go alongside my blog as I wrote a lot more than my blog but never published the rest.
Anyway how are you?
