Monday morning weigh in

My partner complained about putting on weight and feeling lethargic after his work convention. He followed this with a few days of eating real food and enjoying a walk or two, and was back to the weight before he went away.

It seems that weight gained quickly can be lost just as quickly, so there is no need to panic. The weight we are both losing at the moment, is weight that has been around for a long time and we have generated an average weight loss of one pound per week. There is no "dieting" involved as we are still eating our favourite foods, it's just that we are thinking differently.

We have enjoyed eating whatever we fancy, for example, yesterday we went to the seaside and had fish and chips. We did walk around for quite some time, so this exercise amounted to some 300 calories. We are not afraid to eat, and this is the key to feeling happy and not being deprived.

After a bad start to the week for my partner, he has finished the week down half a pound. I on the other hand had a better week, and I have lost another 1.5 lbs. A great result and not a diet in sight.
