Hi babe, How's it all going? I am with you in this. I too have had bad food choices and though I have been going to the gym each week I haven't done my usual routine and have been cheating ...All I'm doing is cheating myself! I have to take responsibility for the fact that I have put on about 4 kilos over the past 3 months. Now I'm going to get it off and get rid of the other 10 kilos till I'm at my goal.

I am having a fill today with Dr T's offsider and hope this will get me in the right mindest.

Like Rob said, I didn't go thorugh all of this just to put the weight back on.

Anyone who says this is the easy way out should walk a mile in our shoes eh?

Rob, hope your backyard wasn't trashed though I'd like to trash some of the little sh*** -we regularly get egged! Good for you to join WW again...we all need something to push us along. Are tou really doing 2 hours of gym a day? That's great ....now you are retired you can put that committment into yourself instead of other people. I wish I had the time to do that...ah well only 6 and a half years to go!!

Love to all

Helen

Morning Rob!!

I just wanted to let you know that what you just wrote has pierced my heart and given me (as Oprah would say) a "lightbulb moment".

You know sometimes it takes one simple statement for something to fire up the old brain cells and get you back on track or atleast realise that you are OFF track.

I am stagnant like a green murky fish pond with no filter.......no weight loss since before xmas and if I am honest with myself there has been a slight increase of 1.3kilos...all due to wrong food choices and a very very relaxed mentality when it comes to the band as well as NO exercise in any way shape or form.

I have to get off the grog because I am drinking a few glasses every night and move my substantial behind and get walking.....I am too am now accountable for my actions now and I am going to make this easier for me and do it better than I have been. Denual is not a river in Egypt!

Thanks mate for the kick up the bum...much needed.

P.S. Hope the yard wasn't trashed again.......

Leah.
