• So I think I am fairly sure I know what it isn’t ! Day 3 I feel a little euphoric as I start to loose fluid I suppose. I am several pounds lighter and I am waking earlier. My mood has lifted, I am smiling more. I am ready to face the day.

    So am I chasing this feeling ? Do I put on weight in order to feel good when I start to diet again ? I know for sure this is absolutely not the reason why I start to put on weight again. So whilst I still work towards finding the answer I know for sure its not to chase that euphoria as I diet again.

    However the difference in how I feel today compared to Sunday night is HUGE. I know that it is a mindset but what triggers that change ? Sunday I felt like I was walking through treacle, I was beyond tired and yet 3 days later I am full of the joys of spring and ready to seize the day. So what changes first the body or the mind I suppose that will be the answer. Is it gaining weight that sparks the change or a change in mood that sparks the eating. Is it the joy of indulgent food that makes me eat for pleasure or the chemical reaction to sugar, fats etc that sparks a change in mood that makes me eat in an effort to feel better ? Do I have a low mood and lift it with food ? Or is it purely accidental as a few little pounds creep on bit by bit that changes how I feel ?

  • Did you ever loose a shed load of weight, start living your best life, vow never to get fat again and then boom you wake up with the realisation of FFS I’m fat again !!!!!!’

    Well welcome to my world.

    So today I have decided to start blogging to see if I can try to find out what happens between the euphoria of reaching that perfect goal to waking up devastated that FFS I’m fat again.

    Rest assured I know that by the time my holiday starts in May 2026 I will have lost the offending 4.5 stone and begin the never ending journey back to Fatsville. For if there is one thing I am good at, it is losing weight. It doesn’t really matter what method I use I know the science, I can (once I have that FFS moment) always find the will power. So join me on the journey to see if I can shake off the cycle back to fat again next year.
