The important thing is to not beat yourself up about a little gain here and there (says she in the smug posture of one who lost another pound this week according to my scales), but to see the overall picture. OK, so I'm having a great deal of trouble breaking this 15stone (about 200lbs) barrier.. I just cannot seem to get past it; I missed my target of 2stones by Christmas, but overall, I've lost almost a stone (14lbs), I'm no longer so breathless, I don't have the mysterious stomach pains, I've got a new set of friends and I've won a slow cooker (crock pot) in the raffle!

My body may still be out of shape, but my mind is getting better all the time...
