First The Good News - I'm Back On Lighter Life Diet

Now the bad news. I have put a lot of weight back on in the last few months. I have a great set of excuses but the main one is some real rubbish events at work. I will not dwell on them as they are in the past but suffice to say that any control of my eating went out of my thoughts and actions.

So last Monday saw me back at my lighter life counseling group to restart my diet. One thing about the system is that there is an inbuilt sense of grace and mercy to people like me who put weight back on. What I mean is there is no sense on condemnation or guilt put on you for failing. So my counselor and the guys in the group just said "Hi, how are you" and we got on with the business of weighing in and discussing where we all are in the program.

Because of this system of grace I am hoping that my blog readers will also be the same towards me. I have many email saying how my story on lighter life has helped them. Well I hope that this next section of my story will not send too many people down the tube.

My weight was 19 stones 1 pound. I will do the first 8 weeks and see where I am then. Look back here as I post weekly if you want to follow my progress.
