Today I got out of bed at a respectable 10:30am and had my morning
coffee with sugar. Soon after, I discovered that my first delivery of Lite n
Easy was waiting for me on the doorstep. Before unpacking it, I attempted to
weigh myself on digital scales. My last reading had been 152-point-something-kilograms. Today the digital display simply read ‘O-ld’, which is either the
scales exclaiming ‘Oh lord!’ or shorthand for ‘Overload’. Definitely time to
get back on the weight loss train. My second coffee I had without sugar.
In 2014 my weight loss was a failure. I actually gained a few
kilos by NYE, with a couple of rapid drops in weight throughout the
year; the most significant being during and shortly after my hospital admission, when I dropped 10kg. All that and more came back to bite me on my
well-padded arse.
Adding to my embarrassment was my public (internet)
declaration at the beginning of last year that I would drop to 100kg by 2015.
Last night I deliberately gorged myself on ice creams (five
of them) and two blocks of chocolate; one last hurrah before heading down a
1,800-calorie-a-day path to a lighter me.
If nothing else, I can positively say I will be eagerly awaiting each delivery of food. I'll have to wait quite some time before I hit my goal weight but each and every week I will get to do this (and perhaps some more creative things) with the dry ice packets that come with the frozen meals:
