Week 39 - The Bender Offender

Right then a very big hello,

I'm back after just been on a massive eating bender, it's what addicts do, we get to a point where we are no longer enjoying our addiction, the poison of choice becomes more routine than it is fun, we face some stark home truths, clean ourselves up, embrace a period of abstinence, start thinking just the one can't hurt, have a hit, relapse, go mental for a couple of months and then the cycle starts all over again...

That's what i allowed to happen to me in the past few months, relapse, luckily for me i am addicted to food so when the light at the end of the tunnel does finally appear i still have a TV, a marriage and my criminal record is clean unfortunately though the physical changes from a food bender are weight gain not weight loss, week 24 i was 138.8kg and today i am 146kg, t-shirts are tightening, boxers are nipping and airplane seat belts are coming dangerously close to not fitting.

In light of the fact there is a chance in the near future i will end up with the food stained, dried sweat smelly orange airline extender belt i am back on the straight and narrow, back training, drinking water, eating properly, i now have 23 weeks left of my initial 62 week challenge to get under 100kg so i best get a move on, 2kg a week is achievable, jees it sure is so i am going to buckle down for the next 7 months and go hard at it like i did the first 4 months of the challenge.

Note to self - Don't under any circumstances visit the UK in the next 7 months and start demolishing Doner Kebabs close to extinction like you did in August... Oh and stay away from bread for goodness sake...
