One meal. Then the old thing came. Left it. One meal at 13:00 — beautiful homemade Indian bean soup with bread and salad. Prepared by my mother-in-law. Then Indian sweets and snacks and tea. In the evening I resisted eating more. I wasn’t hungry. It was the old thing. — Think Fast

The fast is coming. Preparing quietly. Veg curry with naan bread. Preparing for the fast coming this week. — Think Fast

Eggy bread and leftovers. One meal. That’ll do. 11:00 — eggy bread and leftover spaghetti bolognese sauce from last night. — Think Fast

4.6km walked. Cooked together. A quiet good day. 103.0kg this morning. Tea and water with salt through the morning. Body feels calmer and content today. Off for a walk. Did 4.6K today. Helped cooking spagetti bolonese with focaccia garlic bread – was great and enjoyed a few portions. Then two biscuits. — Think Fast

Held until 15:00. The hand helped. Teas and water through the morning. Ate at 15:00 — pizza, scrambled eggs with cheese, two biscuits, more tea. STOP is on the hand. — Think Fast

Twenty lengths. Ate well. STOP held. STOP is on the hand. Two teas in the morning. Water with salt. Swam 20 lengths in 15 minutes. Felt good. Ate after 15:30 — three eggs and avocado. Then some pepperoni pizza. Stopped eating by 16:30. — Think Fast

Disheartened. But still holding the rope. Still around 103kg. Feeling disheartened. Thought I’d be at the half stone milestone by now. Two meals of lamb, potatoes and broth through the day. Then a third meal later. The feelings were strong today. I jumped off the boat into the water. I thought about letting go of…

Close. But close is not there yet. 103kg something this morning. The half stone is still there waiting. 102.6kg is the number. It is close but close is not there yet. Time to tighten up. The 100kg line is the big one. Everything between here and there is the work. STOP is on the hand.…

Sunday curry with Dad and the family. A good one. Tea in the morning. Ate at 14:30 — chicken curry, rice and naan bread with Dad, wife and daughter. Then carrot and toffee cake with ice cream. Finished at 16:30. A good Sunday. — Think Fast
