If you live in the UK at the moment firstly- hang in there. This current climate of buffoonery and Barnard Castle is our karma for Colonialism and Morrisey but it can’t last forever. Secondly, you’ll have seen our wise and just leaders are very concerned about the waist of the nation. We’re apparently all too […]
Read More Boomboom’s Easy Guide To DietsA couple of weeks ago a Facebook marketing pop up got the better of me and I clicked on a random ad for Purition- a wholefood based protein supplement that various sinister AI cookies decided I might like. I was maybe hungry, I was maybe vulnerable to suggestion and I was definitely sick of the […]
Read More Trial and Purition.*sweary rant warning* So, after banging on about how I had the hang of smartpoints finally and Weight Watchers was no longer making me want to periodically hang myself, the buggers went and changed it all. All legit plan followers- so those using the official app or attending group sessions- will have been introduced to […]
Read More The Skinny Thing- Flex Off!Unsurprisingly, living without a kitchen for just over a week whilst having one set of parental units staying and the other set on standby for a blow out birthday lunch has not resulted in me having a good loss to report.

Read More The Skinny Thing: Calling All Fat Vegans.Some time in November I told of my dip into the WW world of pointed dieting. It’s been, well, irritating and effective in more or less equal measures. My progress in weight loss terms has been slow but generally in the right direction despite that pesky business of Christmas the misery month of January and […]
Read More The Skinny Thing- Four Months of Weight WatchersI should be writing this on the eve of my 12 week-end-of-the-road-NHS-weight-loss-plan-weigh-in but for numerous reasons that little nugget of joy has been bumped to next week. Instead I write to you from my sofa on the eve of just another Thursday, about five kilos lighter than I was at the start of this conversation […]
Read More The Skinny Thing- Facing The Slip Ups.Some weeks ago I had a personal overshare on my current fight against the bulge and previous life experience as a fatty.
