A dilemma...

I am at home this week, and this has brought something to the forefront of my mind, which is I have to attend 3 weddings in the next year. And not just attend, actually take part in all 3 of them! This means a lot of photos, which are going to be on display a lot. So Im going to have to dome something about what I have affectionately being calling "my Scotland weight". In order to understand what sort of a deal this is to me, you have to know something about me which some people don't always understand...

I live for food. I love cooking, baking, creating and eating food. From the finest dinning of Michelin start restaurants, to creating something new from scratch to enjoying the fruits of a good recipe book. Food is a huge part of my life. I would choose going out for dinner over a concert or a night out any time. Baking has become my go-to activity for boring nights or Sunday afternoons. Having my own flat on accentuated this love more. Joni and I would take any excuse to look up some new complicated meal online or in one of my many recipe collections and have a night in cooking together. I even enjoy McDonnalds! 

So you can begin to see why the quest to look better is quite a tricky one. Im asking myself to give up my hobby and my favourite past times. This is obviously never going to happen very well, so instead im going to try and become a bit of an exercise freak. I hear people who exercise a lot can eat whatever they like. Its going ok so far. I'v been home for 4 days and I'v already increased my exercise levels exponentially. We will have to see if I can carry this on over time. Tomorrow will be another good day. 

So watch this space for tales of my amazing weight loss.....
