Simply Stu Goat - The Revolution

Weight Loss

Monday 14th January

I now introduce you the Self-Esteem Weight-Loss Plan.

I started liking myself in July. It seems to have worked. I haven’t even been trying to lose weight…

When I was trying to lose weight, I got the results you see on the left of the graph. However, obsessive weighing, crashing and binging really don’t work. First step, stop the obsessive weighing. Second, stop crashing - if you crash as a punishment for binging, then you’re creating a very vicious circle. Third, stop binging.

But most of all… learn to like yourself.

  1. “I started liking myself in July.”

    Thus, your Self stopped trying to bribe You with cakes?

  2. Brilliant, and so true. I’ve never been thinner than I because following a course of CBT which helped me conquer depression and find some self-esteem. Quite simply, I was too happy to want to eat except when I was hungry - my life was so full of joy it didn’t occur to me. In contrast, my self-esteem has taken a kicking over the past year and a half, I’ve not been very happy at all, and consequently I am two sizes larger than I used to be.

    The sooner people realise that they can’t berate themselves slim, the better.

  3. The “weigh-yourself-less-frequently” often gets held up as a good thing to do. You are living proof that it works! Good going.

  4. What do the green bars represent?

    (Hope the answer isn’t “pleasant wallpaper.”)

  5. They’re the number of exercise sessions logged by my heart-rate monitor. But they’re not very representative since I’ve stopped using it for most badminton games and walks now I’m used to it.

  7. I’ve been eating chocolate when I want chocolate, so I don’t think it’s that :)
