* A cheeky midweek weigh in, against the rules I had imposed on myself. But therapy teaches us the importance of change, of doing things differently and so I have broken the rigidity of my own regime.

* Another pound off, reassurance that the plan is a long term solution given the week that came before. With a wedding over the weekend, meals were at the mercy of circumstance, including a trip to McDonalds. Even then I had the regime in mind, the trip to the Naughty Shop coming at lunchtime, dinner consisting mainly of vegetables. Then at lunchtime yesterday, i was conscious that I had cooked too much and, instead of just eating it all, I left some for the next day, lunch today now a much more reasonable size.

* By the way, nothing more irritating than writing out an entire blog, only to press the wrong key on the laptop and lose the whole thing.

* Don't forget to check out The Anxiety Diaries elsewhere on the site, charting how the mundane and ordinary events of life can lead to anxiety. Unlike my food blog, it is a single page entry that I will update periodically so don't forget to check it out here http://1066allstars.webs.com/apps/blog/show/42750131-the-anxiety-diaries#.VE_-V5VsALU.twitter

* Some exciting publishing still to come towards the end of the year. I have one more piece to write before my short story collection is ready. I am also working on a new children's story, The Friendly Lion, which will be published exclusively in my children's story collection. Finally, I am hoping to publish a couple of stories seperately which will include illustrations. I haven't made any money off of these publications and my reading circle is still very limited but it gives me a sense of satisfaction nonetheless that I have achieved something I set out to do.
