Fourth Weigh-In

Hello Everyone.

Well, last time I left you with myself at 199.9kg or roughly 31 1/2 stone. After breaking the 200kg barrier, my next one is the 30 stone barrier.

There were 2 weeks between my third weigh-in and my fourth - I had no realistic hopes of losing a stone and a half in that time, but I did hope that I'd be well on the way, and lose between a full stone and a half.

Well the good news is that I made that target - the bad news is - not by much. This time the scales levelled out at 196.5kg, a drop of 3.4kg or 7 1/2lb. So what's the summary, I 've lost another good chunk, just over half a stone again, but my rate of loss keeps declining - half a stone first gone in 5 days, then 9, now 14. I'm still going, and I realistically knew that my rate of loss would never stay at my initial rate, but I do hope that it won't dip much more anytime soon.

I've also promised to be honest in this blog, and I've got to admit that this weekend saw me really slip up for the first time. The local fast food joints of Aldridge have had their profits slashed because of my attempts at ways-changing. Let's just say that Saturday night I felt low and and took a pretty major step backwards.

My job now is not to let myself do what I've done in the past and throw ny toys out the pram because of a setback, instead I've got to pick myself up, dust myself down, and keep going. I'm still going in the right direction - I've just got to keep it that way.

By the way, an Archdemon that I know and love has commented that a perhaps a better name for this, rather than 'Barrett's Bulging Belly', could be 'Richard's Reducing Radius' - obviously more positive, and I hope that I can prove him right. P'raps I'll change it if I have some good news next time.

I'm next on the scales early in Holy Week - I promise I'll let you know.
