Found this old post celebrating the 15kg loss: http://yearoffthegrog.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-133-154kg-in-19-weeks-19k.html
That was 12 weeks ago. I think the biggest retard in the world can lose half a kilo a week, especially off the piss.
So it is very disappointing that I didn't keep plugging away losing another say 5kg over that time. That would have me at 20kg instead of 13.5kg. 6.5kg difference .
Hopeless! That's the problem when you don't go in the right direction, or, worse, go in the wrong direction. Time passes, that is the one sure thing, and if you gain rather than the lose then the "sliding door" difference between one behaviour and another means a lot in terms of weight at the other end.
The main thing with weight loss is awareness. I think there are many many ways to move in the right direction. Low this, low that, exercise this, drink that. My theory is that if you make an effort - almost any effort - and measure then you will move in the right direction. And if you move in the right direction, with the passing of time then you will get to where you want to go.
Bit like doing a long walk one step at a time.
It is when you stop measuring that it all turns to shit. Nobody willingly looks at the scales every week and says, "Ripper, I'm up another kilo, that's 3 in the last month, best keep it up". Nope, more likely you subconsciously know things aren't going so well, or foolishly think things are, and put your head in the sand for a while and discover the movement to your horror when you hop back on the damn scales.
So what does this mean for me? Measure weekly. Keep it front of mind. Move in the right direction. Wait for time to pass.
