I am definitely better at starting things than finishing them. Two years ago, I almost started a diet. What I actually did was set up a fancy spreadsheet to record my weight loss. Then found the whole thing about actually reducing my calorie intake was a bit mind-numbing, and got no further.
I am increasingly aware however, that tackling my weight problem is something I should take seriously, so fired up the spreadsheet and recorded a second entry.
I can tell you that in 729 days, I have gained 4 kilos. Which could be a great deal worse, I suppose.
A cixen on Flickr has come up with the bright idea of photographing absolutely everything she eats, and the results are posted to a group. They’re certainly striking. And they make her think hard about every single thing she puts in her mouth, since she has to reach for her camera before eating. I wonder if she goes hungry if she forgets to pack her camera before heading for work.
I used to do that on a side bit of my blog, and got really rather ribbed about it. It did turn out I was eating rubbish much of the time though.
