12.7

The apprentice ate my steak and I starved.

Buzzed around Putney and Fulham making all sorts of appointments for self maintenance.
Feeling so much thinner!

12.8

That was what I weighed on Friday but since then I have had:

A cupcake of such verbotenness I will probably burst
Some chips
2 Poppadom
Rice
A piece of chocolate
A crust of bread
Milk in my tea
A yoghurt

These were not all on the same day but it still high carbi stuff and I may well have put on weight.

It is so cold I feel I need carbs to feel warm.  I really need to jump up and down more.  If only I wasn't so lazy.

12.9

Tiny bit disappointed as I was expecting a glorious 12.8 but maybe that would be greedy.  I did a poo.    A triumphant poo.  At long last.  Mind you I think stonehenge was built from softer material.

We did have an enormous dinner last night.  Roast pork with amazing crackling.  Gorgeous.  I ate heaps and normally would have definitely had a weight gain but with no pudding and no potatoes I didn't put on an ounce.

I am determined not to be a diet fixated idiot.  I have more or less given up alcohol so I am looking to more or less give up sugar.  Then I should be on the road to salvation.  Holbrook diet.  There's all this stuff about carbs and protein being separate but I think that is just too purist.

12.9

My goodness me, I don't think I have ever lost so much weight so quickly with no exercise and stuffing myself with sausages and meat.  So that's seven pounds - my goodness me .... Half a stone.  Oh roll on tomorrow when I report in on my weight loss thingy.  I really like this.

Now steak or veal or pork ... For breakfast.  No, I will have porridge.

12.10

Shoving sausages down gullet like a starving dog.  Now feel sick as a dog.  Sugar cravings have really diminished.  Nasty headache.  Lovely salmon with rich hollandaise last night.  Forgot to eat specially prepared soup.  Will have it today. Had beef and ham salad for lunch.

Six pounds eh?  Not bad given that I am constantly stuffing my face.  If I keep this up I might get into my jeans.

12.12

Following 5 day carb boot camp plan.

Day 1
Tough but I did it.
No choccy, sweeties, diet coke, caffeine or pasta or dairy.
Headache emerging.
Weird dreams.

Went shopping and just looked.  I have now exceeded even 16 and sometimes even an 18 is too small.  Oh GOD NO.  It will be Evans Outsize frumpies in no time if I don't watch it.

Well, I have already lost four pounds (of water) so we will see how it goes.
I had yummy fillet steak and veggies for lunch.
Dinner is chunky chicken soup.
Snack is a sausage - meaty one from Marks.

13.2

Kept up the Dryathlon for all of January and lost no weight but ate chocolate and all things sugary instead.  So I achieved nothing really except less hangovers and a two pound weight gain.  But I am glad I did it and I seem to be cured of alcoholism.

Anyway, I am now on carb boot camp which is five days of no sugar, no dairy and no wheat.  I might die.  I probably won't.  The idea is to be cured of chocolate addiction.  It is pretty harsh.  No toast.  No milk or sugar on my porridge.  No Cadbury's cream eggs.
