So I was sitting in a well known department store having my free coffee and cake (thank you Mr Lewis) all on my tod, thinking - as you do. As you may know my previous job was helping people with cancer, and my new job is helping people with cancer. And I was thinking that, God forbid, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and given say 6 - 12 months to live, would I suddenly pull up my socks and get stuck into a diet to lose my excess weight before I died? Would I hell! I'd be saying pass me that cream cake! So what does that tell you? Of course on the other side of the coin, when I don't have a life limiting disease I definitely should lose weight as this will assist in my longevity! I hope I live another 30-50 years, so what's 2 years dieting if it makes me healthier?

I went shopping this week with my daughter. In M&S I got a pair of trousers for work for £3.69 (from £35) and a bonny skirt which was £2.69. The skirt is currently too small, but hey, it was cheaper than a latte. And (like all of my clothes) I'm sure it'll fit me at some point in the future, if only temporarily!!

So, yes, my dear readers, I will be back on plan - starting with the 5-2, then moving to the Fast 800 - and I will lose weight. Now, how I keep said weight off remains to be seen. But let's not be glum just yet. I will have a solution by the end, if it kills me.

I made a huge to do list today. I just can't work out who's going to do it.
