Rah!

I have worked like a trooper today, with the result that chapter 3 is nearing the half-way-to-completion mark. OK, so I know in my heart that what I've really done so far is mostly the easy bits, but still - it feels good.

I have also managed to eat not one single sweet or piece of chocolate all day, despite the fact that I have two boxes of chocolates and two bags of Fox's Liquorice and Aniseed sweets distributed between my house and my office. I had the opportunity, but chose not to take it. That feels good, too.

I think it's safe to say that today was generally a good day, then.

Excellent :) Well done! I was also fairly productive today - at least in terms of organising quotations in one place if not writing.

You so don't need to lose weight. Fair enough if you just want to be healthier by not eating crap, but there's no way in this world you need to be thinner!

Aye, but I have been putting on weight at the rate of about half a stone a year for the past three years. I want to nip that trend in the bud right now!

Glad to hear you were productive too - yay for productivity!

Precisely why do you think you need to lose weight?

You don't need to.

I have perfectly nice clothes in my wardrobe which I can no longer wear! Really gorgeous deep purple velvet trousers, for instance. I want to be able to fit into them again.

I know this feeling. It's a very frustrating feeling. I would like to be able to put my jeans on in the morning instead of squeezing myself into them bit by bit.
Hurrah also for productivity. Do we get to read the book eventually? :)

Believe me, you will hear all about it when it is finally published!

I feel guilty that one of the boxes of chocolate was probably from me.

I'm sorry for tempting you.

Oh, no - don't worry! In fact, I have already scoffed yours, so they're not tempting me any longer! Anyway, I enjoy being tempted - I've just decided I ought to ration these things out a bit more if I ever want to be able to wear my purple velvet trousers again.
