This morning in my statistics lecture I won a mini Crunchie Bar for participating in a game to demonstrate probability. Yay for me, I got a treat! The only treats I will consuming for the next Really Long Time are those that are bought for me but not at my request, or won. Having a set of scales in the bathroom is now daily proof of what poor eating habits I have formed since becoming omnivorous again.

I guess after 8 years of no meat burgers and no salami and limited pizza selections it’s been like being a kid in a candy shop, not knowing what to eat first. So I just ate it all. And now it’s on my tummy, hips, bum and thighs, jiggling there for me to feel as I waddle walk along.

Okay, so I’m not a whale, but I am certainly overweight and I really don’t like it at all. I was never overly bothered by my weight in the past, not to the point where I ever dieted or did anything to really actively keep it at a place I felt comfortable. However, since gaining weight over the last year, I have become acutely aware of it, of my body, of feeling ‘gross’, but even more so of the health implications that carrying extra weight can have. More than anything I would like to be fit and healthy, without excess fat.

So far I am going to the gym 3 times a week and trying to do at least 30 minutes of exercise (usually treadmill at home) on the other days. The food thing is…okay. Ish. I’m a terribly foodie, and by terrible I mean that I tend to gravitate towards the more unhealthy end of the spectrum, despite the fact I do enjoy eating healthy meals. It is very frustrating to be such a junk food person and I’m really trying to cut down but am struggling a lot, unfortunately. I know it will take time, so I guess all I can do is stick at it and try my best!

Anyway, that is all for now!
