Ayayayay!
We went to a curry house in Rusholme yesterday. I'm in so much pain today... Clearly I'm too weak and lazy to do this stupid diet on my own, so I'm starting with a personal trainer from the 18th (they are expensive!)

I'm so disappointed with myself. I've managed to lose 8kg and then put them back, and then lose again a few, and put them back again. All in 4 months or so.

Why are you disappointed? With what do you need help?

Don't get me started.
A key thing about weight loss is not to beat yourself up if you put a little back on. Understand why, resolve to change your habits and make sure you do. If you berate yourself there's a chance you'll turn to food for comfort and make things worse.

I need the sunshine I thought was coming today. Anyway, what curry did you have? I like picking new things off the menu because I'm almost immune to chilli and everything tastes great anyway.

I'm really bad with spicy food
So I always order mine extra mild. I had something like Lamb alloo balti or something.

That comfort food is my problem. I do the diet very well, I know how to eat properly, I lose weight. Then, I have a bad day or I go on holidays and I eat like a proper pig.

It's sunny here, and very pretty. I'm looking forward to MK.

But Noely
It's so unfair! I ate healthy for, like, a whole WEEK. AND I cycled to work 3 out of 5 days, and I didn't lose two stone and instantly develop a washboard stomach, and it HURT.

Pizza takes the pain away.

Not bad
I buy them in Tesco's or Sainsbury's and split one in 3 meals, with plenty of salad on the side. Still relatively healthy done like that.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Fri 8 Oct 2010, 9:05, Reply)

But then you do the same for 4 weeks and you stop losing weight. You keep exercising, you keep eating healthy, and you're still stuck forever, 12kg above your ideal weight.

Then I start eating pizza like a mad woman.

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Fri 8 Oct 2010, 8:34, Reply)

The key to the personal trainer thing, is to see if you respect him.
If you don't then you won't keep your word and follow the plan. If you do, you are more likely to stick to the rules.

This is personal experience talking.

I have disappointed myself, my family and all my ancestors

Everything I have done has been the epitome of underachievement. I went from being put up a year at school and being taken from classes for 'able pupil enrichment' to getting three shit 'A' Levels, a shit degree from a shit university and then a shit job, a pokey little flat and a lifetime of insurmountable debt - all because I think that deep down I am frightened of trying my genuine best at anything in case the results were not staggeringly brilliant. I was OK with it all until I became a parent - now I am throroughly ashamed of myself the whole time.

On the plus side, I am having 8 HOURS of professional cleaning done on my flat today, for nothing.

Hey Aberry
Don't be too hard on yourself. It's been shown that weight loss of 1 - 2 pounds a week is more likely to stay off than crash dieting where the weight normally always comes back on (I think this is due to the body going into stavation mode and stores fat again?)

Which is why losing weight sucks because it's toooooo slooooooow.

Word to the wise:
Beef dripping has pretty much the same effect as goose fat and is a meagre fraction of the price, due to it not being fashionable amongst 4x4-driving organic twats who actually listen to what Nigella Lawson says as opposed to just watching her tits jiggle.

Good point, I get my goose fat for free from a mate otherwise I would use a combination of beef dripping and vegetable oil

Ah, well of course, if you've got a friend who melts geese anyway then go for it.

Poultry farmer. I like the taste of beef dripping - might buy some of that for this Sunday.

Brussells sprouts blanched and then stirfried in in the beef roasting dish

I like the sound of that. I have made yorkshire pudding in the base of the beef roasting tin before which worked pretty well

I figured that since I was no longer looking for a partner that it didn't matter how I looked.
But now I've decided I want to look hot and unavailable.

I was very upset the other day, as I got to another of this not losing weight phases, and I was talking with Mark and saying that he could choose between marrying operated and upset Asun or chunky Asun. He went for chunky Asun, so I'm not feeling too bad.

I am, I have been on it for a couple of months now and have shifted just under 2 stone.
I had a hypnosis session as well last week and I feel much more motivated and have cut down on the weed too. I intend to look like Sebastien Chabel by my birthday. But right now I'm still a lolfatty so fucking bring it.

I can't be hypnotised as I'm afraid of letting go.

I saw Derren Brown live
When he said he was going to attempt to hypnotise the whole audience. He said the vast majority it won't work on, and it didn't on me.
It only works if you're a 'suggestible' person, and I'm just too anti-establishment, anti-peer-pressure, I-ain't-playing-by-your rules, maverick, lone wolf, smooth Fonzy, badass motherfucker, punk lives on, SMASH THE SYSTEM for all that to work on me.

Yeah, if you're say there going "this is bullshit, it won't work" it won't work.
If you're relaxed and accepting and open to it, it'll work. And while I find some of Derren Brown's TV good and appreciate the fact that he's moved away from making people do impressions of chickens on stage, most of the time he's recycling old stuff.
