Only half a kilo dowm this week, but I can't really expect too much - what with the ice cream and the McDonald's and the pies, oh, and I almost forgot the chocolates that I managed to sneak in there somewhere. I can't remember how long it's been since I had eaten chocolate and it turns out that it really wasn't worth sneaking some, but I did, so there you go :)
On the upside, I have managed to walk for two whole days in a row (yes, that is the sound of slow clapping you can hear) so I can have some brownie points there I guess.
And losing half a kilo is better than not losing anything or gaining, so there's that too, I suppose.
It is still a little disappointing not to see the scales drop by that magic '1' though. I am wondering if I should go back to weighing myself less often. Perhaps I could try doing it randomly or something. Christmas is fast approaching and I haven't had any of those Christmas lollies that I love so much yet, so there could be a little backsliding in my future still :)
We shall just wait and see.

One more down!
I've made it to 90! Don't know how I made it this week with all the crap that I have eaten, though.
I really went off the rails a few days this week. Not sure if it was due to the fact that I have had so much nausea during the day and really haven't been able to eat very much, but I have had several nights were I have gone nuts over ice cream late at night.
It hasn't helped that Magnums were on special at Coles and this seemed like a good excuse to buy them by the box full, but I know that behaviour like that has to stop for good.
It's not even like I really enjoyed them. I just did it because they were there and I could and I don't know why the hell else.
Makes no damn sense, I know.
Once again, I have to make an effort to get more exercise this week, but I am going to have to try and find a way to deal with the increasing heat and nausea. I may need to find an MS forum to join and see if I can get any tips from people there.
Wish me luck! (Not that anyone is actually reading this!) :)

Slowing down.............
OK, the rate of weight loss is slowing down, but I know that I have absolutely nobody to blame but myself.
Down to 91 kilos this week, so I am well and truly on track for my original goal of hitting 90 kilos by Christmas, but I still can't help feeling disappointed that the weight isn't falling off quite as rapidly as it was. The simple fact is that I haven't been exercising anywhere near as much as I should be. Yes, I can place some of the blame on external factors - the weather is really warming up which has led to a sharp increase in migraines and I have been experiencing a lot mores back pain than usual, but I know that I really need to make the effort. Both for the sake of my weight loss goals and for the sake of my poor dog who really needs to be walked more often!
On the plus side (and to try and counter balance my whinging a little), I have noticed a definite decrease in my 'pelican chins'. Yep, I don't just have double chins, I've got a whole dewlap thing going on there, but it really is starting to get visibly smaller.
I have also had to buy some new clothes recently, but I have only bought the bare essentials - a pair of 3/4 length jeans and a couple of t-shirts because I don't plan on wearing these for very long :)

Finally!
OK, I have been telling myself for ages that I should start a weight loss diary. You know, maybe it would give me some motivation, maybe I would finally be able to figure out why I never got that "Aha!" moment that so many other people seem to get.
I never did get around to starting one, though.
Until today.
Today something amazing happened.
Amazing to me at least.
Amazing, but I am not able to share it with anyone that I know, because it is so humiliating.
Today when I weighed myself, I actually weigh less than 100 kilograms. Yep - 99 kilograms. I honestly cannot remember the last time that I weighed less than 100 kilograms but I think that it would have to be about 15 years ago.
It should be something huge that I can share with someone but I am too ashamed to tell anybody, hence the reason for me starting this blog.
I have to get it down 'on the record' so that it counts as an achievement.
Unfortunately this is just a brief note to start off this blog, but I will be back - there is lots more to tell :)
