Post Xmas Blues

Well not the blues exactly, more a reassessment of my health status. I have realised with a shock that I am overweight. Well, that's to say I knew that already, but having gone from Imperial to Kilograms, I really had no idea what the numbers meant.
So, I've decided to lose some weight. It's been an incremental process over the past 10 years that weight goes on and doesn't come off again.
It got bad in the UK where the food is stodgy and vegetarianism meant eating too much bread etc.
That and having baby, where you're told not to diet. So you stop watching what you eat.
So I haven't been on a "diet" per say, I've just gone back to watching what I eat and cutting out the snacks between meals and the rubbish. I'm still eating my pasta dishes and my meat and veg, but in the past 2 weeks I've lost half a stone. Pat on back.
I've also gone back to feeling hungry in the afternoons and mid-morning. Which is something that I remember doing when I was slimmer. Feeling hungry is normal, so long as it isn't really acute hunger - you know the "oh my god I must eat now" type where your blood sugar is so low your hands shake. Drink water, eat apples.
Eat more salad. I remember now all the cool stuff I used to eat, and I'm doing it again.
Wish me luck.
