The hardest part of losing weight these days I find is that even though I've quit junk food, I find hard to give up things like my fortnightly virtual drinking sessions with friends or weekly pizza night, just cos in this stressful time these little comforts are all the more addictive.

At least I'm not gaining any weight; I weigh myself on the 1st of every month (and I've kept records of these going back 8 years) and I've been stable at 83kg since the 1st of October. And I'm not technically overweight. I'd just like to get a little more safely inside my ideal range rather than being right at the upper end of it.
