Journaling: I try and I try and I keep failing, the only thing that seems to be working
for me when I try to lose weight, is not to eat after 6 p.m. and it's hard
to stick to. First there is the discipline and I can just about do it, when
given enough encouragement, that though is hard to get by. Cooking and
then not eating is difficult if family is to have a late dinner, what with all
the delicious smells and the social aspect of it all. Encouraging the girls,
especially Sasha to finish when Mum isn\'t eating herself. So I give in &
eat for their sake, for her sake really. Anemia and her tendency to be a
vegetarian by choice don\'t go well together, she is so slight & eats like
a bird at the best of times, so her well-being is the main priority. I need
to find the balance with what I eat and how I exercise, but I am not the
sportiest person, what I do best is swim, and that is seasonal, since I
don\'t drive. I also walk in the mountains, long walks and missing lunch
but those are seasonal, too, besides limited to week-ends since the
girls come home for lunch and we live far away from beaten tracks, &
far enough for it to be impossible to come back before lunch. It's a
game of cat and mouse, since the extra weight isn\'t just the problem
of aesthetics for that I could live with, but the problem for my old back
injury. If that starts playing up, I can\'t even keep up with my exercise
walking routine. It's the worst state I have been in since 2005. I am
hoping against hope that doing my utmost best will be enough in the
end, as at the moment it's very discouraging. I seem to be holding on
to that ballast and can\'t shift it.
