My description explains why I’m dieting, so here I’ll go into why I’m blogging about it too.
Last year I had a wake up call when an acquaintance bluntly asked me “What happened?!" in reference to the sheer amount of weight I had put on since he had last seen me.
Now, in some ways I think I’m a no nonsense person, so instead of being butthurt, that spurred me into action, and I began what turned into a very successful diet, losing 20 kilos in a few months. I felt pretty great, particularly health-wise (aside of course from being proud of myself!), but along came the exams, followed by summer after parties, and this and then that… and well - now I’m here, 2 kilos away from my original weight.
Well, I reckon that if I try to document this, making it a hobby or suchlike, then perhaps the myriad of excuses spawned from a practised mind will dissipate somewhat. Retrospect, pride, shame, and other emotions will be new tools. I’ve decided to put down, such that I can review them and thus myself, those few extra steps I want to take.
