Well, well, well! 4 1/2 months ago I couldīnt have imagined that I would be ecstatic every time the scales go down by 100 grams, but I am. I had originally expected to see the figure on the scales decrease by 500 - 1000 grams a week but that rarely happened and I was often quite disappointed and even fed-up on numerous occasions. But then I changed my reasoning - 100 grams is the weight of a bar of Swiss chocolate or four slices of Gouda cheese - that is in fact quite a lot to hold in your hand or to see on a plate. So in my mind I have entered the Battle of the Gram and having knocked off more that 7,000 of those little beasties within the last 18 weeks , I now allow myself to feel quite victorious every time I have decimated another 100!
