Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Mine was going great until yesterday when I got stuck at work for 19 hours and had to survive on biscuits.
I am now the size of a small South American dictatorship and my legs are knackered.

I said to myself that I wasnt going to drink this weekend. Then I remembered that we have our 4 year old nephew staying the night, and that it's too cold to tire him out at the park. I have decided that I will have a glass or two of wine tomorrow night after all.

But, I have resisted all cakes, chocolate, biscuits, crisps, sweets and booze since Easter MOnday. It might not sound like much, but it's quite some achievement for me!

Jaffa cakes. I feel sick just thinking about them today.

I have been good for months, I am usually very good in taper, but I have got a bit paranoid about losing too much weight this time. The lethargy seems more than normal taper lethargy so I have eaten 'normally'.
I hate tapering.

Hahahaha I'll be on a bottle of bubbly afterwards - first drink doesn't touch the sides anyway ;)

Taper going well here, feeling fit and strong and not eating too much (so far!)
