Dieting

Anything can happen on weekends.

I can do two or three days which, at least, keeps my weight stable. Sort of. I still haven't figured out how I can gain two kgs over a weekend. Its against the laws of physics!

I could live on pasta...it's evil.  San Remo have brought out a pulse pasta - it's really nice but it's about 4 times the price of the normal and only in limited varieties which doesn't make it an attractive purchase for a family of 5 with no income.

And, what's more, moving to gluten free is pointless (for me) it's the processed carbs I don't need. Cake, bread, biscuits, pasta, doesn't matter what they are made of, they are surplus to requirements. Sigh.

I don't have much willpower myself, @zoffiel but is it worth trying to maintain 2 or 3 days a week where you abstain?  A bit like the 2-5 diet but different!

I know what I have to do to lose weight, give up the booze and wheat. Its that simple (for me) and nearly impossible to sustain. 
If I drop all wheat products and cut out my nightly glass, or two, of wine I will lose 3-5 kgs in a month. I'll be good for a couple of weeks and be thrilled with my progress, then out will come the toaster. Pasta, just this once. Friends call around on a mid week atternoon and it's bikkies and cheese and plonk. Just this once. And it's all over. Sigh.
I know what I have to do. I just can't do it.
