It has been a few days since my last post. Macbook has been out on loan, but it is back now.

And so has my exercise. I have done only light workouts on Monday and today, the 2 others absolutely nothing because of sheer laziness! And that is a REAL danger...

Because when I stop exercising, I start... eating! Admittedly, the amount was lesser and the guilt (of both not eating too much AND not exercising) was tormenting, ok maybe tormenting isn't the right word, more like popping up frequently. So, taken positively, it is a good sign that my mindgame is beginning to kick in!

I am also putting this mindgame down to the pain in the knee. It goes like this... ' I have made some weight loss, and hurt my knee in the process. So do I want to wolf down everything I see and see my knee injury vanish in vain?' That feeeling honestly is the real reason why I am so guilty these few days when I haven't been exercising.

So, weight loss is also a mind game. I knew that all along, but in a academic, detached sort of way. Resulting of course in my weight gain from mid 2007 till when I started a month ago to try to do something about it again. But this time the lesson is real painful- in both metaphorical and physical sense.

Guess it really takes a real experience to drive home the lesson that we all play around in our head. And it illustrates the cliche that nothing teaches better that life itself.
