Well I started this 'weight loss' thing about four weeks ago and it's going alright. Before I started, my main vices were sugar (2.5 teaspoons in every cup of coffee), chocolate, white bread and cheese. Now, what is strange is that I have not had a craving for any of those things in the last month and I thought I would die without them lol. Anyway, all good except that my smoking has increased dramatically and I have a belter of a cough going on which means of course that I should not be smoking but I can't stop myself. Everyone has only got so much will-power, right? I justify my appalling behaviour by telling myself that every time I have a coughing fit that I am losing calories lmao I don't have great lungs. Have been using inhalers all my life but have been smoking since I was 12 so it balances itself out most of the time except that when I get a chest infection it is the mother of all coughs and I have to go to my doctor and face the usual lecture. Imagine how pleased he will be though when he hears that I am working on being a skinny minnie which has been the subject of many other lectures in the past. As it is a bank holiday weekend here on account of that finest of all saints - St Patrick, I will have to wait until tomorrow to ring for an appointment with the doc by which time I may have coughed myself to death and will likely be found on the floor with a carrot in one hand, a stick of celery in the other and a cigarette in my mouth!!! Also concerns about my medication as there is a lot of it and most of it has a sedating effect which slows down your BMR and also gives you a false appetite so I have to fight a bit harder to get results. Nevertheless, onwards and downwards. The world is my lobster! Cough, cough!
