There are two current parts to getting me sorted health wise, the first is eating sensibly again and (hopefully) losing weight, the second is to get into a good place sleep wise, yesterday I got up at 11.45 (ouch!) today I managed 10.45 (woot!), tomorrow I should be even earlier so no idea how Friday will pan out!

Weight wise – today I was 22 st and 7.5 lbs, so up half a pound on yesterday BUT I weighed in two hours earlier – so I suspect I have lost a bit in relation to yesterday, once I get the sleep sorted and I am getting up at about the same time on a daily basis this will be easier to track.

DAY THREE

Key Theme: HOPE

TAKING MY TIME

Think back to a year ago, two years perhaps. Does it really seem that long ago now? If you have been suffering from the Feast or Famine Cycle, you may think, yes, it has been a long year. Waiting to lose weight or gaining it back has a way of dragging on and on and on, especially when it’s uncomfortable, even painful. But one or two years without the pain is not too big a price to pay to be cured of a lifetime of obesity. It is the best bargain around.

“We need some imaginative stimulus, some not impossible ideal such as may shape vague hope, and transform it into effective desire, to carry us year after year through the routine work which is so large a part of life.” Walter Pater
