Well, so far my change in eating habit has been successful. I’m losing just over a pound a week, so slow and steady.

It requires a little mental fortitude, but not an excessive sacrifice of life’s small pleasures. Eating once a day, cutting out snacks during the week, and only drinking a pint with my meal seems to be doing the trick. At weekends I allow myself some snacks and either a few shots of whiskey or a bottle of wine. Once a week, if the mood takes me, some junk food (though the urge to eat junk food seems to have abated as the weeks pass, I guess my body has less cravings as it is weened of fat, salt and sugar).

Now, none of this success is particularly attributable to virtue on my part. I’m not sure that I’d be half as inclined to self denial during the week if I were still working at home (I have the breaking strain of tissue paper when it comes to self denial). However, it’s working and hopefully, by the time I return to solitary work at home, my body will no longer be craving food in large quantity or with lots of fat, salt and sugar, making it easier to maintain a healthier diet. This, however, remains very much to be seen.
