This week I gained a kilo. Although I am sure no-one cares, it was because I “carbed up” (= ate pizza on Friday night) for my weekend of kayaking and ate carbs over the course of the weekend because there wasn’t any other choice. Besides, when you are wet, cold and exhausted, life’s too short… Read More
One of my friends wrote a blog post with the above title. She got slammed for it and publically criticised (in another blog) so she deleted her entire blog. Sorry, but I won’t put up with bullying. I am here to re-phrase the words that she wrote because her message is one that needs to… Read More
I still can’t believe I am so, so lucky. I stay up late drinking and carousing with Duckfish, then wake up without an alarm clock sometime around 9.00am, find any old clothes sans underwear, grab a cup of tea and settle in front of the computer. I read journals, articles and beautiful hard cover novels.… Read More
Today is the first day I haven’t been employed in some form or another since I was 17. I have forgotten how glorious it is to spend ages in the shower have lunch at home sit in the afternoon sun to read go without make-up and wear thongs in public during the week have loud music… Read More
This is my last week working at the Wh1te Sa1ls Asylum. Tonight I have my first lecture at the University of Tremendous Smartness — the subject is called “Issues in Documentary” and as the only documentaries I’ve ever watched in my life are about eating disorders and steroid use, I might be slightly out of… Read More
Not much of a drop this week, but I saw 73.0 earlier on so I’m not worried and the number is heading downwards without any effort on my part. In much more interesting news, today I got accepted into my University course. I am now enrolled in a Master of Arts – Non Fiction Writing… Read More

Click through to read the whole post and enjoy x Yesterday I was brought to the realization of what is most important to me. What my priorities are. And most importantly, what kind of physique I… Read More
Hello 73’s. This week was tough as all week the scales went up instead of down. But I thought of it as a test of my new way of thinking, and I chose not to worry about it. I look smaller, my next size down clothes are fitting me and I trust my body. If… Read More
Full of the PMT today – period due tomorrow although I usually only make 26 days and tomorrow is day 28. So with pre-menstrual bloat I’m figuring I’ve had a cracker of a week.
Sometimes when I don’t feel like writing it is because something is so wrong that I can’t find the words to express it. When that Thing happened I couldn’t write how I felt because it was so complex and confusing. This time I’m not writing much because life is so good that I feel like… Read More
Hello 74’s. All is going well and I’m still drinking alcohol and Diet Coke and eating Indian takeaway and chocolate! I don’t have any weight release epiphanies to share today, I just continue to be so grateful that small changes are making such a big difference. However, I have decided to make a huge change… Read More
When I gave up starving/bingeing and excessive exercise in 2009 and embarked on learning Intuitive Eating, I only wanted one thing. I wanted to be lean and healthy without having to restrict what I ate, exercise to exhaustion and obsess about my food and body constantly. My faith in Intuitive Eating was fledgling, because even… Read More
I decided to do a proper weight update, mostly for consistency so I can look at my progress all in one place. Today was my official ovulation weigh in – the one Duckfish records as my monthly check in. My goal is to lose 1 kilo a month. He still wouldn’t tell me my starting… Read More
