“How do I say this out upsetting you? Have you put on weight?”
“Yes, yes I have”

Now I’ll be honest, I’ve always just scanned the barcode on food packages and left it as that. This morning proved that might be my problem. […]

It’s been far too long since my last post and in that time nothing good seems to have happened. I haven’t so much back slid as stalled altogether. Over the weekend I lost 0.8 kg’s and by the next day I’d put most of it back on. The truth is I knew/know that weighing my […]
