Falling Off The Wagon, and Getting Back On

You know...

The last 2 weeks have been freezing for Western Australian standards. It's been raining bucketloads alsmost everyday, and it has been difficult to take my diary walk at lunch time.

Together with my lack of walk, there has been hunger for unholy food. :-<

Yup, even the Skinny Chef sins once in a while. :-)

The result: 2 kilos extra.

In Australia "falling off the wagon" is usually applied to people who have stopped drinking alcohol for a while, and who, for whatever reason, have started drinking again.

It also applies when you fall off any regime... like eating low fat food... for instance? :-)

I have to admit it: I fell off the wagon for a little while. Thankfully, even when I "relax" my goal, I always bounce back to it... I get back on the wagon.

I don't want you to have a buddah-like image of me. I got the haircut, but I'm not perfect.

And neither are you (if you are, please forgive my assumption). But the good thing is when you learn about the importance of eating well, and getting back into it as soon as possible.

If you do that, you can even afford to "fall off the wagon" on purpose. But that can be very tricky. You have to be very disciplined to get back on, and that only comes after you've made significant achievements in your weight loss journey.

If you fall, don't torment yourself with guilt. Don't ignore it either. Just be aware of what you are doing, and get back on track.

I also started walking again, taking advantage of the "dry" wheather, and loving it (though it's still cold).

Yours in health,


Jeff "The Skinny Chef"
