Where I'm at with the Diet - ahhh noooo - not the BLEEDING DIET !!

Hi all

Just started with this blog wizard and following instructions courtesy of Google.  I want to start a blog RIGHT NOW about my diet.  G R O A N from all of you out there, but some of you will have been here before me and know what I'm on about and be interested for their own sake.   This time I'm serious (smiley face) - no, I really am but it's important to smile right, otherwise I might frighten people with my intensity.... :)

Like a lot of people I have been on a diet for part of every year for most of my adult life.  Sometimes it works - yippeee and reach for the champagne.  Sometimes it doesn't - reach for the noose.  But you know what?  It's very important to keep trying and not just let go, which I confess I'm doing at the moment.  But for pity's sake I have to find something to get this blubber off ...

So to help me I've started this blog, which I'm going to use as a journal/diary to help myself  ....and others, although I have no idea whether it's going to work, fellow bloggers.  I have also enrolled today with a gym (all right, I've been a member before but that was a coupla years ago) and I'm going to try and make up my own diet as I go along.  You may think this is insane but, as somebody who has followed umpteen diets for umpteen years, I know what I should be eating and .... THEORETICALLY ...... with my diet and fitness regime, I SHOULD be able to lose weight at a rate good enough to keep motivated.   I've done it a few times before, not as many as I would like, but I have and successfully.    But KEEPING IT OFF eludes me, so I would appreciate as much support and hints on how to do this as possible ...... Thank you guys
