FACTS

Less than 1% out of the hundreds of millions of people who begin a nutritional and exercise program to attain weight loss or burn fat tissue ever achieve their goals

The benefits of a healthy diet begin in childhood, and can do much to reduce the risk of premature death or disability later in life. However, taking steps to improve diet at any time can make significant changes to your long-term health

previous week's diarynext week's diary

Wednesday 24 March 2004

Hi everyone, I am back.

After my last diary entry I decided to have a short break and go on holiday. I felt that I needed to get away and relax for a few days after having a few problems and being busy at work.

I have had a very relaxing time and am pleased to report I actually stuck to my healthy eating whilst I was away. I walked loads and feel so much better.

The only problem is, when I weighed myself this morning my weight has gone up to 14 stones. I really don't understand it as I have exercised more during the past few weeks than I have in the past year.

I am eating healthily and feel great, but each time I get on the scales I am disappointed by the results. I really don't understand what is happening and don't know what to do to make me lose the weight I want to.

I was watching one of these fly on the wall programmes about people trying to lose weight the other day and I noticed they measure their waist and hips as well as being weighed.

So that even if they don't lose any weight they could lose inches. Perhaps I should do this too, does anyone out there do this? Is it useful?

I am really starting to wonder if I am destined to be a larger lady. To be honest, I am not huge or anything and most people tell me that I don't look 14 stone and are shocked when I tell them. I would describe myself as a curvy woman, definitely not fat.

Perhaps I should continue to eat healthily and exercise and realise that I am not going to be a slim, skinny woman.

But I would like to get into a size 14 if at all possible - oh does anyone have any ideas?
