"Fat to Fittie"

I’m not hugely religious, but I always try to give something up for lent, this year if I was going to reach my weight loss target, there could be only one choice and no, it’s not alcohol. My weakness is not chocolate based either, something far more tasty that can be eaten anytime of day. Breakfast, warm with brown sauce, lunch, cold with ketchup, tea, with chips and gravy, I’m talking of course about the sausage roll, the perfect snack food. It was a sad day on Tuesday when I had my final one for six weeks, sometimes it’s best not to mess around with the simple recipe, these however were homemade chilli and tomato, beautiful. I am though blaming them for my weight gain this week, I was in a right arse, okay it was only one and a half pounds, but I honestly thought I’d get another loss and the chance to be slimmer of the month, blown it now. For a minute I considered shedding my shirt and shorts, but I couldn’t subject the ladies to that, no one wants to see a fat guy in his pants standing on the scales.

So did I spend yesterday eating like a POW in Burma? well up until 5pm, yes, but that one drink I had became lots and the snacks flowed, maybe I should have put crisps on my lent list as well. I’ve promised myself though, that’s it, good lad for the rest of the week, well after today, it is Saturday after all. The good news is though, I seem to be over the sausage roll craving, not really bothering me at all, didn’t even get the shakes while searching for a pic. I will of course be avoiding anything that might trigger a relapse, like walking past Greggs or listening to Ladbaby. I’m going to leave you with a bit of German philosophy to ponder on. “Alles hat ein ende, nur die wurstchen im schlafrock ,hat zwei”. Which means, “Everything has an end, except the sausage roll, which has two”. Happy Saturday.
