In Which Fatso Rests

I don’t think I actually mentioned what my plan was for the next two weeks at all. This coming week, it being Easter weekend and all, means that our hall is closed on Easter Monday. This is a pain in the arse, and it also means that, as a Monthly Pass member, I lose exactly [...]

In Which Fatso Shaves Her Head

Y’all might have noticed that I’ve stopped with the Beck Diet Solution updates. That would be because I’ve actually stopped paying trying to pay attention to it right now. My first week weigh-in was last night, and when I stepped on the scale, I was just hoping and praying that I’d not gained weight. I [...]

The Beck Diet Solution: Week One, Day Six: Find A Diet Coach

Today’s Beck Diet Solution assignment is to find a diet coach. Technically, as a member of Weight Watchers, I already have a diet coach. I have a Weight Watchers Leader, Gillian Sloan, who is only a new WW leader, but I saw her Before picture. She looks amazing now; you’d never believe she was ever [...]

The Beck Diet Solution: Week One, Day Two: Choose Two Reasonable Diets

So, day two of The Beck Diet Solution asks you to choose two “reasonable” diets: your main diet plan, and one backup, in case the first one fails for whatever reason. Now, tonight, I went and rejoined Weight Watchers (oh god, the difference between the scales at Boots and the scales at Weight Watchers is [...]

In Which Fatso Starts To Track

It’s amazing, how therapeutic it is to sit and fill in a Weight Watchers Tracker for the first time in a year, let me tell you. Now, don’t misunderstand: I didn’t rejoin Weight Watchers. My current financial situation doesn’t allow for that. What I’ve done instead, is I’ve decided that I’m going to track Points [...]

week one: success!

So, I rejoined Weight Watchers last week, and, quite simply, it was a fabulous success. Since Thursday, not so great, but it’s That Time Of The Month, so I’m feeling pretty craptacular, actually! But I managed to not buy a tub of ice cream when I went to Tesco this arvo. I settled for a [...]

oven roasted garlic, butternut squash… and me

I’ve got to say, that one of my absolutely favourite side dishes since I bought the Cook Yourself Thin cookbook, has been oven roasted garlic, butternut squash and red onions. Absolutely delicious; I can’t get over how sweet onion is when it’s oven-roasted. Divine! And what I usually do with the garlic, is I peel [...]

spam, spam, not-so-wondrous spam

I think, what’s interesting about the rejoining Weight Watchers thing, is that Niamh’s (Niamh is one of the girls I work with) mum rejoined Jenny’s evening class the same day that I rejoined Patricia’s morning class. The original reason that I got to thinking about rejoining in the first place was that I talked to [...]

sojourn over; back to the grindstone

Okay. Seriously this time: what the fuck happened? Ahh, doesn’t everybody just love the story of a good food bender? It’s like alcohol, but with more fat content, more guilt, and no hangovers. Almost four months of no WeightWatchers meetings, of finding out that the scale that you were using at Tesco to weigh yourself [...]

gah what's going on

So, I know it’s not been a week yet. But Lorna’s in Canada, which means that, unless la parentals are heading up to Tesco, I can’t really go and get weighed. I went and weighed myself tonight; probably not the best idea, because I had on jeans and my hat and a lot of clips [...]
