Great workout - more PRs on deads and pull down and could have gone heavier but the lack of grip killed me.

Mermaid, go ahead and do your deadlifts before your pulldowns.

GREAT workout, though, and I agree your butt looks smaller.

OK, it's time to be straight about something and I apologise in advance for whining when so many other people have more to worry about than I do.

First of all, I didn't cheat last night and I am now officially 21 days alcohol free - which is great because I went to a bar on two occasions and drank soda, lime and angostura bitters.

Then this morning I put on my suit pants that I haven't worn for a couple of months and they're weren't tight, in fact, comfortable.

My Finance boss asked me if I had lost weight.

A colleague said I looked great, skin glowing and shaping up.

I read all the nice things you gals said about my pics.

My other colleague I was travelling with finished an awkward conversation with his wife on the cell and then looked sheepishly at me, laughed and said that his wife was intimidated that he was with me today as I am smart and attractive. She picked him up from the airport dressed to the nines and was trying really hard to smile at me but it didn't quite work.

So anyone else would go home and be very pleased with themselves. Not me. In fact, if anything is going to send me jumping head first into a vat of chocolate ice cream with a bacon double cheeseburger in one hand and a bottle of Grey Goose in the other, it's a day like today.

And Nelms and IP are reading this and getting worried

I don't want to be noticed. I don't want to different from the other 90% of overweight people. I don't want women hating me because they think their husbands want me. I want to melt into the background. If I am ordinary then I won't be persecuted or bullied or hated.

This is the sole reason why I have not made more progress because as soon as OTHERS see changes and comment on them, I just turn around and sabotage everything I've done.

After all that, I actually have not eaten today. If I eat something, even healthy, I'm afraid I'll flip the switch and end up chugging maple syrup straight from the bottle and order take out pizza, eat half then spray the rest with oven cleaner (both things I have done before).

So, it's all out there now.
