Target One Achieved

You will note from the chart in the upper right hand corner, (Right Click, Select View for a better view) that I have reached my first goal. Actually I am 200 grams off but since Wednesday is a day off and my "Weigh-in Day".

Now I willnhave to select another target and continue on. I can see where I went wrong over the last weekend and probably gained but given the circumstances it was acceptable and I figured it would be the outcome.

So what is my secret? Well about 4 years ago I started Weight Watchers and I was the same sort of weight I am now, and for 6 months I went hard out and lost the best part of 28 kilos. Nice. Then I decided I could take on the world and looked for another challenge.

I found that challenge in my smoking, got hypnotised and quit. Sucess after twenty years and I remember the week after I had quit I was at Moore Wilsons in the city and I got a hankering for Burger King down the road. I went and had a BK Whopper and it had never tasted so good. So I had another combo and went back for a third. Now, remember I had had no fat in my diet for 6 months and I staggered out into the street and promptly threw up in the gutter clutching a parking meter for support. Not a good look.

And then I find I had two promlems. Instead of smoking I would have another nibble and the food, shit it was tasting good. So I gave myself over to cooking some good food for two years, which became three years and treats became the norm and chocolate a staple. So back to my starting weight. And now here I am, and all it comes down to is developing the correct strategies and coping with triggers from there. In another posting I will discuss my personal strategies in more depth.

Good luck
