Omg, how do you know when you are Fat......when a 3-year-old looks at you and points to your belly and says 'baby'.......for a woman its one thing but for a man well........


Mortification is by definition 'Great Shame and Embarrassment'. to say I was mortified was an understatement, but in fairness, I found it hilarious as well for out of the mouth of babes comes the truth.... so there you have it, to a 3 year old I look pregnant lol


Whilst I find it funny, it brings me to the classic old chestnut, when you haven't lost weight but you haven't seen someone in a while and the first thing out of their mouth is 'You look well have you lost weight?'. It always makes me cringe and I usually follow it up with, 'Its the heaviest I have ever been' to which the reply usually is 'Well you look like you have'


Don't know who is more embarrassed than me or the person making the statement. So have totally lost my mojo, I think my sprained ankle being the catalyst for me giving up, no exercise no weight loss and if truth was told too much eating and drinking to even sustain the weight I did lose.


So the broken record of the past few posts is still, revolving and I need to shake myself and try and get back to it, even went as far as putting off my 3 month blood review to try and bring the rampant calorie intake back to normal levels.


As I said last week, life just seems to get in the way of this weight loss journey, Garth Brooks Concert (Amazing by the way), followed by Local Tap Room, a 50th Birthday (2 days of Food and Drink) and the Cunningham Santa Saturday all coming up within the next two months and that's before we look to Christmas and what that entails.


So Ciaran's Pity Party is in full force, disgusted and huge amounts of self loathing aside, I know this can be done, DC is a prime example of willpower and 'getting it done'.


So as many times as I said it before, the line in the Sand is drawn........



and I will start again - again......To be honest this post sucks....... and as much as I wear my heart on my sleeve......I did not enjoy writing this post.............but as I have always taught JC, if you make a mistake it is no one else's fault and you have got to owe it...wise words indeed , so here I am owning this car crash.....So for the the sake of the record, today 21/09/2022 at 0700am I am currently 20st 5.75lbs......
