I mentioned on my last weigh in that my head hadn’t been fully in the game hence my 0.5lb gain over Easter, but that I was going to try and get back in it. I was okay for a day up until our latest cake club meeting on the Wednesday, and then I just went slowly downhill from there to be honest. Especially at the end of the weekend when I started having a bit of emotional breakdown. When I’m at that stage I go one of two ways – I either eat lots of rubbish, or nothing at all, and let’s face it, neither are very good for you. I wouldn’t say I ate an awful lot more than I have been, just more of the wrong food rather than good.

So to weigh in. I’d had a major headache that wouldn’t disappear all day, had a terrible day, and was half debating not going to weigh in and putting it down as a holiday, but to be honest I needed the fresh air so I went to face the scales even though I was completely expecting a gain. I stepped on the scales and at first I thought I’d gained another half a pound (even though I checked my previous weight beforehand) but to my realisation I managed a maintain. I was okay with that. I was expecting worse, so it was a bonus really.

I only have 2.5lb to get my Club 10 award and I wanted it this week but obviously didn’t make it, so I have really tried to get my head back in the game since weigh in. It’s been a struggle but hopefully I will see it on the scales on Tuesday.

My stats for this week (week 13):

• starting weight – 13st 4.5lb
• previous weight – 12st 2lb
• current weight – 12st 2lb
• loss this week – maintain
• loss so far – 1st 2.5lb
• Club 10 target weight – 11st 13.5lb
• final target weight – 9st 6lb
