You know, diets come and go; however it’s the wasteline that has the truth to show.  All this comfort eating I have been doing of late has had it’s toll.  I think I hit “critical mass” this weekend.  Somewhere still between 15 and 16 Stone. 

It is proving so much harder to lose weight than the first time around.  I will not pay some 3rd party upwards of £40 a month either as that is the average cost of a gym membership these days. 

I just can’t afford it.  Even if I could I doubt I would spend that much - it’s an extortionate price; you do the math - how many people can fit in the gym at any one time?  over 100?  Spending on average 1-2 hours not a bad income £400 per hour.  Now I bet you the average wage there isn’t any more than £8.50/hour?  Most or all of the equipment was paid for from initial capital investment, which means that it wouldn’t take “that” long to pay it off even with the maintenance costs.  Oh and I almost forgot this doesn’t include all the “joining” fee of anywhere from £10 to £50 depending on which gym you join, plus the fact that many gyms will “financially” tie you into that membership for a full 12 months (what are we mobile phones?).

pah! Oh well, guess I’ll just stick to being a lard-arse.
