Had a pretty crap weekend all told on the diet front. I've pretty much stopped caring this weekend, although this morning I weighed myself (impromptu - and at the wrong time of the week!) to find that I'd lost 2lbs since Wednesday!!

I need to start rowing again from Monday (haven't rowed since Wednesday - but have had a bad neck and right arm, so that is my excuse). I'll also stick to the diet again from now on. I truly do want to keep my weight off, and lose more.

We've had a pretty bad time of it lately. We're pretty much overwhelmed on all fronts: financially since G quit work; emotionally since G got post-natal depression; anxiety since G was summonsed to court for some work-related stuff before she left work; stress from looking after three children under 5 years old; exhaustion; and overwork. It's pressing us on all fronts. It makes us snappy and confrontational. I've been an awful dad this weekend, especially to little H who is going through his terrible twos. He's just very hard work, and I am very intolerant. I don't want to do any damage to him emotionally so I need to sort myself out.

These aren't all excuses for my bad diet this last couple of days, but I need to get things sorted out before we crack-up and do some serious harm!

prey it all gets better.
