My difficulties with losing weight mean that I treat my weight loss journey like a military campaign. I know I shouldn’t (sorry Michael) and I’m trying to wean myself from the habit of weighing every day. It has some advantages especially when I introduce new food or exercise, but of course it has disadvantages.

OK, enough already with the preamble. Get on with it woman!

 I weighed today and I’m a happy bunny. I’ve lost 1.2 kg, that is 2.64 lbs. I’m happy with that.

I’m not being a party pooper but of course the aim isn’t just losing weight in one random week, that’s the easy bit. The test is consistency, losing weight next week and the next and the next. But I can only take it one day at a time.

I run away with myself and I dream a little bit… If I can consistently lose 1 1/2 to 2 pounds every week, I will more than smash the 2 to 3 stone weight loss target I have set for August.

C’mon universe, that’s not too much to ask for, is it now?
