Australian Women increase in size
This morning's television news ran a story on Australian women and how they are increasing in size. Apparently the average dress size now is 16 (US size 14) and overall Australian women are 8kg (17.6lbs) heavier than their American counterparts. Instead of angling the news story to talk of diets and...

Why choose to be fat?
The friends I stayed with on the weekend are both overweight. Since I met her some 10 years ago, prior to her marriage, she has more than doubled in size. Excess weight has become a health problem for both of them. I have to ask myself why; if you have no medical condition that results in weight...

Diet Revisited
After all the fried and fatty foods served at the wedding I attended on the weekend, I think I will have to revisit my diet. There is something about appetisers dripping with oil that really puts me off eating. Luckily the rest of the meal was wonderful. At least I did go for one walk while I was...

Going Away!
Well, tonight I'm heading away for the weekend to attend the wedding. I'm not sure if I will be able to post until Sunday night. I didn't reach my goal of 3 kilos lost, but I did lose 2 kilos, so its not totally bad news!

Day 43 - Summer Fruits
I find I'm eating more fruit nowadays and that will only increase with the onset of summer. I'm not usually a fruit person, but I love all of the berries, melons and of course mango that make an appearance at this time of year. I've been bringing either an apple or a pear to work with me every day....

Day 42 – I must be getting faster!
My 30 minute morning walk only took 25 minutes this morning! I must be getting faster. Which means that I will have to add some length to my walks in order to keep them up to the 30 minute mark. I think I will keep walking in the mornings even after the wedding this weekend.

Day 41 - 5 Days to Go!
OK, I haven't gained any weight from my eating binge yesterday, but I haven't lost any either. This last kilo is proving very difficult to lose. Time to cut out sugar again and watch my fat intake. Only 5 more days and then I will relax!

Day 40 – Six days to go
Six days to go before I attend the wedding. Six days in which to try to lose another kilo. So, what do I do? I do nothing but eat today! Semolina for breakfast, with cream and sugar, it was low fat cream but cream all the same. I have just finished some buttered toast and I’m planning to make roast...

Day 39 – Liver problems
Now and again, my liver will tell me when its had too many fats and / or alcohol. I start feeling nauseas and generally off colour. Its something that has happened to me since I was a teenager. It usually happens if I’ve eaten a lot of cheese, butter, cream or other dairy products and had alcohol as...

Day 38 – Home made muesli
I make my own muesli for breakfast and, if I may say so myself, it is very nice. My boys think it’s pretty nice too. I started making it when I couldn’t find any nice muesli that didn’t have wheat in it. It’s very easy to make. I just mix together four cups of rolled oats with one cup of rice bran...
