P&P

So the unspeakable, though expected, has happened. I've hit an all time high! 15st 5lbs. This is devastating obviously. Not a moment goes by without me thinking of my weight and my eating. I've been reading the Noom app daily (psychology to help you diet). I've been doing my Davina exercises. I've eaten salads and oat milk and fruit and veg, but I just can not control it. I even opened an Easter egg (not mine - oops!) because I really needed some chocolate! PMT but I'm sure that's just an excuse!

I was excited to watch a Channel 4 programme called Beat the Fat last night, but it wasn't shown. I guess a change of schedule - can't be helped. The description in the TV magazine said that the average Brit goes on 179 diets in their life time! Yay, I'm average. You'd think in this day and age, with all this amazing technology, someone would have invented the magic pill (not necessarily literally a pill but you know what I mean). This is something that affects so many people and is so important to so many people!

I knew being house bound would be an issue regarding my eating. I'm sure plenty of you agree. I've tried so hard to keep busy - cleaning out kitchen cupboards (see exhibit A), baking and cooking (minestrone soup yesterday), exercising (yes, honestly), housework (I do not enjoy this). But I'm alone and the day is long. I'm thinking of painting (walls not pictures) with whatever paint is in the garage. I'm not naturally a busy person. I quite like sitting watching TV, lots of us do. Yesterday I decided I was going to have a P&P day. I meant Pride and Prejudice (the BBC drama series with Colin Firth, not the movie with Keira Knightley - a very substandard second). My husband thought I meant PJs and prosecco! What a fab idea. So after my cleaning and cooking this morning I had a P&P&P&P afternoon!! Awesome! And I didn't even eat - except for a beef stew supper!

I planned to introduce my chimp to you today but I've ran out of room. Don't want to bore you with too much Gilly. So I'll keep him till next week.

Everyone keep safe!

Don't look back, you're not going that way!
