10 years on . . . back to square one

Well

I was determined - I really was!!!


As you can see - it is a very traditional graph . . .  First year - after starving at lunch time - a good loss. Then came a couple of years stability and then - well - stuff happened.
2 very large earthquakes / a son with leukemia and Grandad passing away . . .
no wonder I snacked and ended up at the starting point.  the good news is - this year ex jan 1 - I been eating 2 teaspoons worth of peanut butter - which seems to tie me over till tea time and yea - so far so good.  fingers crossed I end up near 80 by Christmas 2019 . . .

failed chcoloate diet

right

I am supposed to be on a diet and apart from eating hazelnuss torte and other assorted things - it gets kinda hard when one visits the mall and gets tempted by this kind of shop

Check out their hot chocolate beverage!!!!

AI ai ai - simply divine - although not as refined as Europe - still; never knew calories can taste so good!

Sigh - I will have to walk there next time - all 7 km of it and another 7 back - only safe way to keep enjoying the beverage . . . . .

Hazelnuss torte - the nut diet is not working

ok - ok - ok - I know - the nut diet - its blown to pieces

In case you are wondering - yes I did make the torte and here is the link for it

don't blame me if you fell for temptation

I must be nuts - to be on a diet

Ach - ai -I must be very much a nut to be on a diet - or
how does it go - Father forgive me, for I have sinned??
Well actually I am about to.
We had some fresh hazelnuts and the kids where hankering after a torte so -
I just had to make one and its loaded with calories . . . . . . . .

It uses TEN eggs and about 1 pound of butter - so you see it's not exactly waistline trimming. Maybe if I hike up Sugarloaf (local hill - 400 m straight up) daily - I could indulge a little . . . .

I am a junk food junky

Well almost,-- isn't it so true?? Temptation always seems to get the better of us.
There was a time I'm sure our sons where breastfed chocolate flavored milk by Mamabear.
Gahhhhhhh take away that Moro Bar . . . . .. . N O W plweeeeeeese


anyhow - I have this song - to remind me to stay strong

enjoy





In the daytime I'm Mr Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me
